Why Do Women Feel Fat and Men Feel Sexy?

I was watching the biggest loser, and during the show one contestant was crying in her audition tape about feeling fat, and not sexy for her husband…it then zoomed in on her husband who was in no way thin and balding. Why isn’t he crying about not feeling sexy for his wife?? Why is [...]

Me..with no make up (and holding my friends adorable baby)
