To 'The Bachelor' Franchise, You Shouldn’t Have To Be Skinny To Find Love

Personality > looks, period.

I'm just going to start off by saying, I love "The Bachelor." I haven't missed an episode in a hot minute, and I love the drama that comes along with the show. However, I am sick and tired of seeing the same types of women/men appear on the show. You literally only see skinny/fit women and buff men.

First off, why? I understand that they're appealing to the eye, but you do not have to be skinny to be beautiful or have a good personality. What are we showing the next generation by watching a show that only shows skinny women or men with abs? We are showing them that this is the ideal way to look.

Secondly, what is wrong with seeing a little chub every now and then? Honestly, dad bods are very in right now! Why not have some dad bods on the show? Or why not have a woman with curves? They are just as beautiful or handsome as the next!

Thirdly, I think it's a little nuts how there are so many women who look fairly similar to each other. We need more diversity! We don't need two beauty queens, no offense. What we need is classy people. We want to see nice men/women who love animals and their families, not a battle between two Miss USA contestants.

I love this show as much as the next girl, I just feel like we should be raising our younger people to be body positive and be comfortable in their skin. This is to no way be offensive to anyone, and I am sorry if this article rubs you the wrong way. We have full-figured Barbie dolls now, so why not show full-figured women on reality shows?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
