I’m loving Demi Lovato’s lyrics lately. I mean they’ve always been pretty good and she covers great topics, but this bodypositivity lately has been awesome. I have no idea what Cool for the summer is really about, it might be about experimenting with your sexuality, I’m not sure. However, the lyric “don’t be scared cause I’m your bodytype” has really stuck with me. I think that could be about bodypositivity, or at least it’s probably interpreted in that way.
I’ve been thinking about just that. Men are often scared or ashamed to admit that they like girls that are, for example, a little bigger. I am not what you traditionally call a big girl, but I am bigger than the thin girls. I was so shocked when my last boyfriend loved me and was so public and open about it, and particularly about being attracted to me and finding me sexy etc. Even afterwards he has never said anything bad, even if he is with a very thin girl now… I am thankful for that.
That might sound kind of silly. Shouldn’t it be obvious that he doesn’t say anything bad? Yes it should. I don’t think it is though. As I said, some people are ashamed of their preferences, even when it’s something this normal. I feel like more guys should be reminded that it shouldn’t matter what they find attractive. If you like big girls, fine. If you like small girls, that’s fine too. Why should it matter to other people? If a big girl is not your preference, don’t get involved with one. But don’t hate on other people’s preferences. And guys, don’t be so scared seriously. Just do whatever you want. xxx
Now obviously someone could say you shouldn’t always just look at the size, look at other things before that (personality and such). I completely agree but that would have to be a whole other post.
