Varying standards of beauty by culture

[Henia 11]

My husband has told me that women actually eat some kind of herb or seed to make them GAIN weight in Morocco. I said WHAT??? You mean they want to be fat? He said that they just don't want to be too skinny. I weigh more than I should and I've always asked my husband if my weight bothers him. He said he has never seen me or thinks of me as overweight. I honestly think I am the only one concerned about it. He is always making sure I have eaten and always needs to know if I'm full.

I know when he first got here, one of the things that surprised him were all of the TV commercials about losing weight and just as many for restaurants. He didn't understand why America was so focused on losing weight. I've also mentioned to him here and there about wanting a ####### job (jokingly) and he doesn't know why America is so worried about boobs. He asked me, Did I marry you for your boobs?

He just called me from Morocco to ask if I have eaten.

I've talked about wanting to lose weight and he just says, Honey I love you just how you are. If it will make you happy to lose weight, then I want you to lose weight but you don't have to lose weight for me.

He has 6 sisters and they are all overweight to some degree. His mom and grandma are overweight as well. He adores all of them. They also vary dramatically in facial features, color of skin and hair color. The whole family is very attractive but none of them are skinny or have a set standard of facial features.

I think it all depends on the individual as to what they are attracted to.

Weight gain herb? #######! Greeeeeeat Africa needs this! Here in Algeria, in every shop you can find ####### creams and skin lighteners. I have never seen any of my in-laws buying them, so I wonder who actually uses them! But surely someone does since they sell it!

if you're curvy you like ####### sex?

You know what> I have no idea! I just have heard this maybe 15 or more so times from women here. But then again, here (and I am sure other countries which prize virginity) ####### sex is the way to go, to keep the hymen in place!
