Oddly enough, until I read the above threads, I had not even considered this card in the light of human beauty, or comparing body shape or weight. Now I can't get it out of my mind. I was thinking along the lines of better than / more useful than / more valuable than.
I am about to reach 55; am short and definitely a little podgy but not too much - just enough to be trying to get rid of some (and telling myself it's for my health!). I have almost no hair at the moment as we have had the local cancer society shavathon, and my husband and son and I all had shaves (I at least kept about a centimetre) as the subject is rather a personal one and well worth supporting. It doesn't bother me much, as my hair is usually short and if you don't like it, don't look. I have had a few odd looks and comments, but I really don't worry. Getting older is actually okay. But then I am doing it in tandem with a husband whom I still find attractive, and my life is much fuller and better than it was when I was younger. I rarely compare myself or my life with others except favourably, because I enjoy who and where I am in life. I can see the value in all the 'other' because I can now find it in myself.
If you compare this with RWS five of swords: that is about self-esteem so perfect. It's what Robin Wood calls her 'Nyaa-nya-nya-nyaa-nya' card - about deceit and cunning, and competition. To compare invites competition, and the desire to win, to be 'on top'. Perhaps I find the Comparison card unthreatening because I do not appear to have a competitive bone in my body - can't see the point. Yet my husband can't see the point of playing bowls for fun, he needs a competition to really enjoy it. Thank goodness we are all different.
