The Beauty if Being a Woman

This was posted by a gentleman here, I nabbed it and posted it here in WIR

The Beauty Of
Being Woman

Did you know that if shop mannequins were real women they'd be too thin to menstruate?

There are 3 billion women who don't look like super models and only eight who do.

Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14.

If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.

The average woman weighs 144 lb. and wears between a size 9-14.


One out of every four college aged women has an eating disorder.


The models in magazines are airbrushed - not perfect!

A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful.

Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today they weigh 23% less.

~~~



The beauty of a woman is not in...

The clothes she wears

The figure she carries

Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman

Must be seen from her eyes,

Because that is the doorway to her heart,

The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman

Is not in a facial mole,

But true beauty in a woman

Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,

The passion that she shows,

The beauty of a woman

With passing years only grows.

~~~


An English professor wrote the words,

"Woman without her man is nothing," on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.


The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."


The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

~~~


The Images of Mother


4 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mommy can do anything!


8 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.


14 YEARS OF AGE ~ Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.


16 YEARS OF AGE ~ Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.


18 YEARS OF AGE ~ That old woman? She's way out of date!


25 YEARS OF AGE ~ Well, she might know a little bit about it.

35 YEARS OF AGE ~ Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.


45 YEARS OF AGE~ Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?


65 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wish I could talk it over with Mom.
