POLL: Exercising to enhance features

[aliki]

Pick the option that BEST agrees with your viewpoint.
NOTE: Read carefully-- the word is "UNattractive". And by "visible veins" I mean "vascularity" (thanks, sophistimicated!!)
(I'll explain after the cut, below the poll)

[Poll #1436401]



I have a small ass. I also have non-existent veins.

I never thought it to be a bad thing before, but in talking to my husband Brian, I have come to the conclusion that he is JUST A WEIRDO. (or maybe this poll will prove otherwise). He is a very strange man indeed because a few years ago, when we first starting dating, he mentioned that I should do squat exercises to make my ass look bigger-- he says it's too flat. (I haven't done much about it since he mentioned it years ago).

However, lately we've been discussing my difficult non-visible veins. Everyone has a very difficult time locating my veins, not only because they are not visible, but also because you cannot feel my pulse from the surface. He concluded that I should lift dumbbell weights so my veins will become more visible. "That's really unattractive!" I said with a wrinkle of my nose. He rolled his eyes and dismissed this idea, like *I* was the crazy one. "You really should have veins that a doctor can see," he said, and added "you're like the living dead or something with no pulse."

Hahaha! Seriously these are traits that East Asians, specifically Chinese, appreciate in a female! Along with being petite, having small feet, small lips, and porcelain skin. How can you complain about a girl with delicate veins!? Apparently, my Brian can.

I had trouble understanding the second question. (Mostly because of the "ewww" after "not" "unattractive"). Anyway, I think "non-visible" veins, being not visible don't matter much.

Ass shape depends on the person, the body, and how they feel about their ass and their body, among other things.

There are some types of clothing someone with no booty just couldn't carry off well. Otherwise, a butt's a butt as far as I'm concerned.

I can understand the small ass not being attractive to certain people, but he actually wants your veins to be MORE visible? Yes, I agree your husband is a weirdo.

[schlickster.livejournal.com]

To me a vein is a vein.
As for the backside it's more about the shape than the size for me.

[whiterecluse.livejournal.com]

Is your husband secretly a vampire?

[breakableheart.livejournal.com]

Giant veinous butt - check.

Brian and I should hook up, YO!

[aparecida.livejournal.com]

Weirdo.

[dolphingirl.livejournal.com]

Does he mean veins that are just visible through the skin, or veins that are actually sticking out?

My veins are super visible because I'm so pale. They're nowhere near the surface, but you can see them anyway--on my arms, neck, face, even the palms of my hands. It's pretty gross, actually. And they still have trouble drawing blood from me!

[puf-almighty.livejournal.com]

I like big butts (and I cannot lie).

[sophistimicated.livejournal.com]

Does he mean vascularity, a la the kind usually seen in folks (mainly men) with very low bodyfat/high lean muscle mass ratio?

[aliki.livejournal.com]

I meant veins that visibly protrude above the skin, the type seen on body builders.

[aliki.livejournal.com]

But is it unattractive and require someone to change it?

[aliki.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a la body builder, where the veins "pop out"

[aliki.livejournal.com]

No, he wants me to lift weights so that my veins stick out! He thinks that's healthy.

[aliki.livejournal.com]

Ahahahah--- I *DO* get diaper ass all the time with my underwear and Brian's expression looks just like your LJ icon!! :D I think his particular phrase is "it looks like you got a dump in your pants!!!"

Also, for perspective, I wear a size 12 top, a size 6 pants, but my panties are a size S (I shop in the juniors!)

[aliki.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the *PERFECT* term for it! I worded it wrong by saying "visible veins" because it's not just making it visible (staying out of the sun would accomplish that) but actually making it "stand out".

[smittenbyu]

second this...got a bit confused and ended up voting funnily... it doesn't really matter to me..

But the bodybuilder-type-sticking-out-veins - ewwwwww... that's unattractive to me.

[stochasticgirl.livejournal.com]

You mean like THIS??

[parisinspring.livejournal.com]

I think flat asses are sometimes an Asian thing. My mum, for example, worries about her weight and getting too fat etc. Yet she complains about her bottom looking too flat!

I can't say I'm a fan of sticky outy veins. Aren't they what varicose veins are?

[dolphingirl.livejournal.com]

Ewww, those are so gross! They look like varicose veins.

[shes-unreal.livejournal.com]

Not at all! I mean, there are also some types of clothing that look better on flat booties, so in my opinion, it's all on how you dress it. I think beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. If it is something that bothers you personally, though, you have every right to try to alter an aspect of your body you don't like.

[superkumquat.livejournal.com]

Vascularity - ewwwww. No one likes that.

[aliki.livejournal.com]

Hahaha!! I'm sure Brian will say that's an extreme version, but in essence, yeah! (1) He thinks if you can't find someone's veins easily, it's a medical danger, and (2) He thinks I'm a weakling with no upper body strength.

I vehemently oppose #2, though! I think I'm stronger than most girls-- for example, Brian and I alone have carried all of the following up a flight of stairs-- a full-size futon, a 5-foot dresser, a 8-foot bookcase; I've moved a grand piano, sofa set, 60-inch TV, and full-size elliptical.

He thinks I'm still too weak because I have problems carrying items over 150 lbs up a flight of stairs.

[inspirethoughts.livejournal.com]

Size of ass...depends on the person and how it looks on a person.

Veins protruding...eeewww...no way!

[amnesiacat.livejournal.com]

What a bizarre thing to say! I mean everyone has their preferences but I agree his are a little odd. I've never met any one who wanted their SO's behind larger. :-)

Also I have very visible veins on my arms and I think they're icky. It also doesn't help any time I need blood taken. It still takes multiple tries to locate a vein that will work and draw blood.

I think you look great just the way you are!

[schlickster.livejournal.com]

150lbs?!?
I'm not sure I could carry 150 up a flight of stairs and I'm an arrogant git.

[rawbery79.livejournal.com]

My veins on my hands stick out, especially when I'm warm, and they are quite visible in the crooks of my arms. I don't like my crooks touched, in fact.

Mark likes my cute little butt. :-D

[missfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

you other brothers can't deny...

[kaytethinks.livejournal.com]

lmao wtf visible veins. I can see many of my veins fairly plainly, I dunno if they are just extra close to the surface or what, but I think that when they are actually popping out of your arms, that's kinda repulsive?!?!

I think you seriously misunderstand me. Nearly every word that comes out of my mouth apparently.
