N.) Something girls (for some odd reason) aspire to be above all else, to the exclusion of healthy meals, self-confidence, and common sense. It is a vague goal that all females pursue, and that many would probably die for, at least in America. The male gender, having beheld this phenomenon of female obsession, has adapted to consider it attractive, causing the girls to want to be more so and strive desperately to shrink further. The guys are trained to think this is more attractive, and the cycle continues. There is a theory that the entire female race will someday starve into oblivion due to America's furthering of the obsession, and then homosexuals will rule the earth. However, this is a worst-case scenario, and hopefully shall not come to pass. But as long as supermodels exist, this apocalyptic attack of anorexia is a possibility. Urban Dictionary
