Agreed. My boyfriend has told me a few times that if we'd known each other when he was fifteen, he wouldn't have looked at me twice because I don't have huge boobs. That said, he still wouldn't have been this spiteful about an image of someone like me because of it...he would have just moved on. So this kind of energy-sucking hatred of -something- is something I just don't get. Even if I'm thinking bitchy thoughts about a girl in a picture, why would I spend time and energy typing and sending nasty comments about her? Her perceived unattractiveness doesn't -offend- me. “…or some clueless young teenager has decided that enormous breast size should be the sole determiner of a woman’s attraction.”

A plain girl would evoke mere apathy, and a truly unattractive girl would evoke honest sympathy in an emotionally healthy individual of either sex. I have known people whose "default" modus operandi is to tear down others in hopes of raising their own level. You see it in the press when they are so vehemently trashing the sexual attractiveness of the likes of Britney, Paris, Lindsay, et al. I guess my taste must be awful by the way, because I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed. There is also an attempt to raise oneself to a level above the "model's" (I mean that rather loosely, in the sense that any woman whose beauty is exemplary or generally considered to be worthy of emulation or imitation) status. The implied message is "Oh if you think she's pretty, you should see the women I date..." “Mr.Me” (and RoseRed775) make(s) some VERY good point(s).

A couple of semesters back there were these guys who would sit at the top and people watch and just take apart women. This was hot but that was to much this or that. And I just wanted to smack them. Every woman is different and each deserves respect and admiration.

They have a low self-esteem and feel it necessary to tear down those that, in their eyes at least, are superior to them. They see beauty and ARE attracted, despite their negative comments. The only other real reason I can think of is just that they're trying to stir up shit. They say something that they KNOW people will oppose strongly. I used to have a friend in RL who used to do this (although it's much easier on the internet because when you sign out, nobody knows who you are) and when challenged he used to say something along the lines of 'for the sake of it', so naturally, I still don't know what drove him to do it. Basically, I think both those reasons are the same thing though. They feel better about themselves, because they make those around them feel worse. Why else would they bother commenting? Or at least, in the case of the guy quoted, why would he bother returning 35 times in fifty minutes? If he truly found her/them ugly, he'd have clicked off the page quickly and not dared to return The way I see it, it’s all about self-esteem… They have a low self-esteem and feel it necessary to tear down those that, in their eyes at least, are superior to them.

In addition to your posted observation, I have decided that when a flawless young girl gets a low rating, you can usually count on one of three or four other things. Some male who actually prefers the company of other males is jealous of the attractive power of her beauty, or some female is pretending to be a negative male commenter because SHE is jealous of the posted body, or some guy thinks she looks like some girl who had previously rejected his advances, because he was way out of her league, or some clueless young teenager has decided that enormous breast size should be the sole determiner of a woman's attraction. I'm sure there are other equally telling reasons why this sort of unfortunate trollish behavior occurs. Most of the time it makes the troll look far worse than the object of his criticism.

But it has become obvious to me that idiots abound in this country. My wife and I watched a Jackass movie the other day, just to see what the hu-bub was about. Talk about nuts, people, especially young males, will do anything for money. As my wife and I always say when we see such crap "IDIOTS ABOUND". Thanks for a great website- I really enjoy it. And you just have to ignore the idiots, they'll die soon enough. I believe you are right about the belittling thing. But it has become obvious to me that idiots abound in this country.
