Kim Kardashian Accused of Photoshopping Workout Selfies..

This bish.. *rolls eyes*

Goodness gracious could she BE anymore narcissistic?

Dayum!

I'm not really into selfies like that, so enhancing them - with the exception of maybe covering a blemish - is not something I even think about.

Then again, if you make your living showcasing an altered to "perfection" physique, I suppose you would do things like blowing up your tits and ass with Photoshop before posting.

This girl..  WHEN will people be over her already?

Yuck.

I'm just happy nobody gives her a pass. Whether its waxing her daughter's uni-brow to Photoshopping ass pics, the public is unrelenting in their efforts to call her on her shit.

See below.

The question on everyone's lips this morning…did Kim Kardashian alter her butt and boob selfies to make her look more bootylicious?!

Photoshop master Peejie T thinks so, telling Radar Online that Kim and BFF Blac Chyna's workout shots have been "manipulated" to enhance the star's shapely figure.

Drawing the background of Kim's "booty pic" as example, Peejie T explains that the slight curve of the door frame could be proof that the 32-year-old's been Photoshopping her snaps.

He said: "In the pic, the door should look like a straight-edged door but you can see a gap at the same level as Kim's chest. This would be caused by using a tool to expand her breasts."

He added: "There also seems to be a subtle distortion of the floor which follows the same contortion as Kim's waist and hips."
In case you have no idea what he's talking about, here are some photos you can reference...

Blac Chyna's ass was not altered photoshop, it was altered by a plastic surgeon.

I don't understand why these lazy chicks just don't workout. Wanna nice booty?

DO SQUATS!

They work.

Scalpel not included.

Why Men Prefer 'Thick' Women

For many a man, especially Black men, big asses and thighs are the desired look of the women they seek to be with. The world was put on to this preferred physique back in the late 80's when the raunchy rap group '2 Live Crew' changed the images of Black women in music videos. Not skinny, and not in the middle, the sought after frame was

THICK. 

 

2 Live Crews "Move Somethin" seemed to single-handedly start its own movement. The women in this video would become the blueprint for the type of female body form showcased in rap videos, (a medium heavily occupied and viewed by Black men).

In 1989, LL Cool J's "Big Ole' Butt" also communicated mens' desire for an ass that made a difference. It was so important in fact, that LL was decidedly leaving one woman after another, going with the bigger butt each time.

In 1992, thanks to Sir Mix-a-Lots ever famous hit, 'Baby Got Back,' big rears everywhere came to be glorified, noticed and appreciated. The ass debate was settled. Women were celebrated for having "back" or more aptly put, A BIG ASS. A more pronounced derriere (aka "thick") became a very elite physique, and remains so to this day.

Everybody doesn't have "back" although some do try..



Some women know how important it is for their careers, and have gone under the knife to achieve this renown feminine silhouette.

This includes models..

Entertainers..

And even porn stars..

So before we begin, lets make absolutely sure we're all on the same page about what "thick" is.


THIS? NOT thick..

Looks nice, but this is NOT thick..

 

 
I don't know WHAT this is, but this is not thick. BREATHE hun!

This is Not thick, this is WRONG! lol..

Nor is this thick. Those who can DO. Those who can't, make fun of. Kristen Chenowith is jealous IMO, as are many women who will NEVER have the curves of uh.. 'certain others'..

 

And this CERTAINLY is NOT thick.

I said Thick not Giant.

This would be a better example of thick:

Gorgeous!

One of the keys to being "thick" and not "fat" is a THIN WAIST. And it doesn't encompass only Black women. We have..



Latina thick..(her hips look suspect though, #injections)

Eastern European thick..

Asian thick..

White chick thick..

They even have a name for white girls with big butts..

And of course.. the Queens who started it all..

A "thick" woman is basically, a woman who has an hourglass shape, but with a meaty butt and thighs. By no means a waif nor obese, she's in the middle, leaning more towards chunky than thin.

We definitely live in a "to each his own" kind of world, but I find that when it comes to thick women, some men won't date any other type. Oddly enough, I find that lots of times, these men themselves are much smaller than the thick woman they prefer.  What came to mind was the old nursery rhyme..

Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean.

It was these types of couplings that spawned my desire to do a little research on the topic. Why would a man of small to medium size prefer a woman who was much thicker than himself? And why - for some men - choose ONLY this type of woman? One could answer, "Because that's what they like.." but I was curious as to why. I had my suspicions, and not one to be left curious and unanswered, I got to digging. And what did I find??

STUDIES!!

Of course. Studies have been done on this topic to satisfy other curious nosies like myself. 

What I came to learn after researching the research, was that psychological speaking, many men prefer thicker sized women for mainly 4 reasons.

None of which are because she looks good.

Reason Number 1:


HE'S UNDER STRESS.

"When men are under stress, they are more likely to find larger women’s bodies attractive. More fuller physical features may communicate attributes such as strength and control during periods when such qualities should be most desired," the scientists wrote.

So says a small study published in the journal PLoS One. Researchers at a London University of assembled 81 men to test a hunch (based on previous studies) that men under psychological stress might prefer bigger-bodied women than men who aren’t stressed.

For one study, they divided the group in two, subjecting 41 men to a stressful experience that the study explains is commonly used in psychological research. 

First, they had to stand in front a group of people who were seated in a conference room and pretend to be a job applicant. They had to deliver a five-minute, impromptu speech explaining why they should be hired. They were told they were being videotaped and evaluated for body language and other components of their performance. After they were done talking, they had to count backward from 1,022 – by 13s.

Meanwhile, the other group of men were seated in a separate room. After 20 minutes, all the men were presented with a standard set of images of women, often used in research on attitudes toward body size. The series consists of 10 black-and-white leotard-clad women whose body sizes ranged from very thin (or “emaciated,”) to obese. They were asked to identify which body they found most attractive. They also were asked to identify the smallest body they found appealing and the largest body they found appealing. Why 20 minutes? It takes 20 minutes for the levels of the stress hormone cortisol to peak after exposure to a stressful situation, the study explains.

The results showed that men in the stressed group rated their "ideal" figure as much larger than those in the control group. The stress-free men chose smaller bodies as ideal. The connection between experiencing stress and appreciating larger women’s bodies may seem random, but there’s some biological logic behind it. From the study [citations omitted]:

"The results provide the first experimental evidence that the experience of psychological stress shapes mens' judgments of female body size," the researchers wrote.

"All the men then had to rate the attractiveness of photographed female bodies ranging from very thin to obese. The stressed group found a significantly heavier body size as the most attractive."

It even suggests that women who stress their men out, push them into the arms of a fatter woman.

"Figure-conscious women who stress their men out may find their behavior has unintended consequences." :oO

So stop nagging ladies! Unless you want your man to end up in the arms of a porker.

Speaking of pork (and other foods), this leads us into

Reason Number 2:

HE'S FINANCIALLY UNSTABLE.

A man struggling financially may subconsciously view a thicker size woman and see financial security, meaning, 

HER SIZE REPRESENTS [A] SURPLUS

If he can't "bring home the bacon" as they say, he might want to couple with a woman whose fridge is fully stocked. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Apparently that is not limited to merely cooking the groceries. According to the study, it also covers She who can afford to BUY the provisions as well.

“Our work in parts of Malaysia and Africa has shown that in poorer environments where resources are scarce, people prefer a heavy body in a potential partner,” said Tovée. “If you live in an environment where food is scarce, being heavier means you have fat stored up as a buffer against a potential food reduction in the future, and that you must be higher social status to afford the food in the first place. Both of these are attractive qualities in a partner in those circumstances."

"In other situations marked by resource uncertainty, therefore, individuals should come to idealize heavier individuals, as fatness would be associated with access to resources"

(I would say this makes sense in terms of white men and Black mens' preference in woman size. Most white men prefer thinner women because statistically and generally speaking, white men are doing better financially than Black men. It would stand to reason that white men would NOT be attracted to a woman that represents an availability of resources seeing as how they have resources available themselves).
 
And from the same study, we get 

Reason Number 3:

A LARGER BODY SUBCONSCIOUSLY SUGGESTS SHE'S FERTILE.

"...Generally speaking, curves to a male subconscious, coincide with a woman's ability to conceive children. A woman with wider hips and bigger breasts (to a male subconscious), would be more capable in ways of child bearing and breast feeding than say, a super slim streamlined woman with a smaller chest. This is not so for every man, though it is an accepted thesis."

Anyone who is familiar with bodybuilding knows that when a woman reaches a certain level of body fat, meaning when it's too low, she stops ovulating. A woman who is heavier would certainly be more of an example of woman who can bear a child.

And last, Reason Number 4. The reason that I always suspected and knew:

MOMMY.

"The reason men to be more attracted to heavier members of the opposite sex may relate to feelings of insecurity and seeking protection by a mature-looking mother figure," scientists believe.

The study further notes that "larger size may signal maturity, and other qualities connected to mothers."

Thick women can represent Mommy to men, especially if their mothers are/were "thick." The excess body weight of a woman subconsciously represents nurturing (especially breasts), being wrapped in a mother's embrace, hanging on to her body as a child, and feeling her warmth. Being enveloped in the plentitude of a woman's form can be reminiscent of the womb. This is especially true of Black men who still live in their mother's home, were raised by single mother's and/or have mother's who are deceased (thus ending the ability to be physically nurtured by her).

So there ya have it.

Men prefer larger women because they're stressed, having financial issues, want a woman who can carry their seed and subconsciously long for Mommy.

I doubt that we'll ever hear this in a rap song though.

WTS reports the TRUTH!

As always, haha.

I KNOW you all have thoughts on this..

What say you??
