Generally speaking, it's never the <i>guys</i> I hear saying things like "Oh, she needs to lose ten pounds" or "Didjoo see that blouse? Somebody with her boobs should know better" or "Eww, she better lay off the Twinkies before she shows people her belly shirt." Generally speaking, it's almost always other women who are being catty and judgmental about how other women "should" be dressing.

This is the problem with all people who are, well, not very smart. That very instinct, to imitate rather than to think for oneself, is (broadly) the basis of all evil. I cite the crusades and the holocaust as perfect examples. And I'm sure there are others if I spent more than half a minute thinking about this comment. Speaking of beauty, it should come as no surprise to you that one of the things I deem sexiest about people is their smarts. It pisses me off, downright annoys the hell out of me, when people tell me that that sort of thing is ridiculous and of course I'm just being nice because everyone only really cares about looks, right? Like you said: the right men with the right interests and desires. The same is true for women. That's the only way us computer nerds ever get laid. ;) What people fail to realize is that they are not obligated to imitate those models.
