IDEO Question: Does This Make My Backside Look Big?

I've never asked that question of anyone seriously.

I don't know if that's because I've never worried about my figure, or if it's because of upbringing - My mother never worried about her figure.

I think the fact that question even exists as a stereotypical cliched term is a sure indication to the fascination we have, as a society, about appearance.

Just because I never asked the question doesn't mean no one else does. Many people do, that's why it's stereotypical.

My reaction to this question is: Who Cares?

Who honestly cares?

If you want to feel good about yourself just do it. If you think your backside looks big then either 1. Live with it, or 2. Don't wear the thing you think is making your butt look big.

If you don't feel happy wearing something, if you are going to be paranoid that people will talk about you then honestly and truly just wear something you are happy in. SERIOUSLY.

I also get that there are people with mental alterations that make them think they are fatter than they are, and I am so blessed that I am not of that frame of mind. But to those people, I say this, life is honestly too beautiful, too interesting and (cliche) too short to care about whether your butt looks big. No one else cares, and if they do then they don't really matter too much in your life. And they are rather pathetic for using something so ridiculous to ridicule someone.

Bottom line... no one cares. Neither should you.
