I got a good laugh from what brother Dan wrote,
Quote:Women want to look good in a bathing suit. So they can swim better
Good question [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img] do have in mind I have been there, I have lived there, I know exactly that it is very important to look nice in a bathing suit, no matter if you swim or not. BUT to tell you the other side of the coin, when you are sweating to look nice in it, you are totally unaware of what you are truly up to. You are not aware of, or do not ALLOW yourself to feel 'do I want this?' there is no time to think, only handle. It is some kind of unspoken words that one is met by, that oppresses you to look as good as possible. And the one's that do no fit into 'the picture' is easily swept away with a 'who do she think SHE is?'. This may be not a big part of life, but it is very much the same WITH clothes on. It is a circle of judgements and it is oppressive, but you do not notice it when you live in the middle of it. Only when you take a step outside you can see this pattern.
