Women: Don't Look Like You're Trying

According to Autumn Whitefield-Madrano men desire women who are thin but don't appear to be trying too hard to stay that way. She mustn’t always order salads or freak out when she doesn’t make it to the gym. [bold added]

Being effortlessly thin is no more achievable through a charmingly carefree attitude than becoming green-eyed or double-jointed. And while naturally thin women exist, of course, their numbers cannot keep pace with the number of men that desire them. And so we must be overly concerned as quietly as possible.

So, why do women torture themselves? The reward:

though I never had trouble getting a respectable amount of romantic attention, at a size 0 it rushed in at such a volume and with such enthusiasm that it was difficult not to be taken aback.....Male acquaintances suddenly wanted to spend more alone time together....I’d only dropped a couple of sizes but I was in an entirely new country.

It's a popular meme that 21st-century America is a women's world, but, guys, in addition to talent and hard work women have to look good and appear to be doing it effortlessly. Those who make it deserve it.
