 French Makes Perfect Body Image

Should we Pay for How-to-Look-Bright Coaching?

Rating: 3/5 (4 ratings)

 

Body image is often related to self-esteem. We like our body because we have high respect for ourselves. French women prefer slim and elegant body that has a fashionable standard size. For that reason, fat women do not usually find outsize department in shops. They feel rejected as unattractive women.
 
Who can fit French standard size in womens clothes and dream of a French success-story? Your daughter, maybe, provided that she can put pants low size and skimpy T-shirt on. It does not matter if her clothes show every bulge. She wants to look like French top-model Adrianna Karembeu who presents M6 Top-Model show on TV. Your daughter also dreams of being the winning candidate in a top-model competition. She will have to prove that she is a woman with strong personality and talent, especially at high fashion modeling in Technorati where the physical and mental requirements are very strict.
 
Now, imagine your daughter is 12, 14 or 16 size. Will she have the choice between a black denim dress and a cotton shirtwaist? She will certainly have to contend herself with a white turtleneck and a gray full skirt because the only clothes available in the outsize department do not exist in many models and colors. They are not fashionable; they do not help your daughter to feel confident and good-looking.
 
What is more, physically attractive people have an advantage in their jobs. They look successful. They will not take the risk of thinking that physical appearance is a superficial matter in France. They are even ready to pay for how-to-look-bright coaching. Image building is part of social and professional success. On the contrary, fat women are told to wear black rather than a bright color since their weight is a disadvantage to find a job. 
For that reason, they build a negative image and respect of themselves. This vicious circle does not make them perfect, even though they have specific skills to get better jobs and more help.
