Rachael Ray is droning in the background because I’ve not turned off TV yet. What caught my attention is the thought that “there are women who have never put on a bikini.” OMG! How tragic is THAT? OK. First of all, I know very few women who, in real life, should EVER wear a bikini. Second of all, why is it important that ANYBODY wear a bikini? Why is it so uber important for female or male bodies to be “perfect?” We would all have to spend every waking moment of our short lives striving toward that goal. We would always feel pressure to attain that goal and upon any failure would become depressed. I personally think life is too short and sweet to worry about a few extra pounds. Pasta and cookies are far too delicious to be ignored. Put that bikini away, I say. Eat that cookie if you want it! Just don’t eat the entire packet of them!

Thanks
I am one of those people who should never wear a bikini. Oh I wore one when I was 18-20 but not since and never again. I would never do that to society. Thank goodness I have a husband who thinks I look fine and actually likes women with a little meat on their bones. 
i’m gonna have to agree with everything you say on this post. especially the question of why it is so important that everyone look perfect.
It took years, YEARS before I could convince my lovely wife that she, in fact, could wear a bikini and look great.
When I first met her, we were 18 and she only wore clothes that were about 4 sizes too big. Seriously. I still were some of the big, bulky sweaters that she had back then. As a frame of reference, I outweigh her by about 55 pounds and am 8 inches taller than she is. The sweaters fit great.
Some folks should not wear particular clothes. That’s a fact. We shouldn’t go to the other extreme though and hide what is a truly a wonderful physique; male or female.
We can’t be attractive in everyone’s eyes but… so what. Life shouldn’t be a popularity contest.
BTW, after two kids and almost two decades together, she still looks GREAT in that bikini!
