With the cute request of her friend, Ashley slowly lifted her shirt up, reveling her huskie belly. With a slow gesture, her friend Mia placed her hand upon that round hill, her eyes gazing upwards at Ashley's disappointing gaze.

"Why do you hate this?" asked Mai.

With a small sigh, Ashley closed her eyes. "Its disgusting..."

"How is it?"

"Just look at it. Its big. I can never seem to get rid of it. My pants don’t really fit me anymore and I have to get longer shirts to cover it up..." She opened her eyes once again. "...I wish I could have a thin figure like yours."

Mai went silent for a while until her gaze fell back upon Ashley's stomach. Her hand slowly lifted up until only the tips of her fingers were touching. She motioned her fingers around Ashley's navel before looking into her eyes.

"You have no idea how cute it looks on you...I love it." she whispered.


Pudges are cute. I think they give off character to the person. In some ways out of many, that are a bit erotic. Many girls think that having any fat on their mid section is considered to be disgusting and unattractive. Those who were born with big bones tends to have a harder time with this since there is little to anything they can do about it. I know some girls who starve themselves to look thin, or taking pills or surgery. They go to a far extent just to look thin and attractive around the mid and upper torso area. Working at Starbucks, I see a lot of high school and young college girls ordering non-fat/decaf, sugar-free drinks with any non-fat pastry. I look at them as I give them their drink and think to myself "If they get any thinner, they will disappear."

When it comes to attracting guys, that’s another thing. Do many guys get turned off by pudge or huskie bellies on females? Is a hourglass figure the ideal body for all females? Do they just look for that? Do they just judge on body and not personality? Does one need to be super thin to be noticed? What about super thin and big breasted? What about huskie with larger breasts? Does the human body matter that much? Must the idea of having sex with that body the only thing that matters?

A lot of girls stress themselves out to make themselves look as appealing as models on Playboy or any other model magazine. Its the "idealist" female body in America, and the world.

You should ALWAYS be proud of your body's natural state. Big belly? So what. Small breasts? Big deal. You are you. Guys should be attracted by your personality, not by your breast size or stomach size or even body size.
