AOL Says I Should Love My Body By Fixing Everything I Hate!

Granted, from past experience I should know that reading anything that pops up on AOL Today when I check my mail is going to be a painful experience at best. But today it seemed to be loaded with more "look better so you can catch a man!" articles than usual.

First up is "Habits of Highly Unattractive Women" I clicked, with low hopes of stories of women who overcame a deep hatred of their bodies to reveal an even more beautiful woman inside. Nope. Instead, it’s a 13 point plan to catch a man. Yep! That’s right girls, even if you are the ugliest, most bitter woman on the planet you too can get a MAN!! Ugh.

For reasons unknown to my self, I clicked on "This Simple Trick Is All You Need: Banish Muffin Top Forever." BIG mistake. Especially considering "Love Your Body!" Is plastered all over the freakin page! What the fuck AOL?! Isn’t is enough that I am flippin my shit over this muffin top but now I gotta worry about my nips being hard 24/7, cottage cheese thighs AND yucky stuff under my nails?! Did you hear that? YUCKY STUFF. Like way more yucky than periods and mood swings and that sorta stuff.
