This thread is going to be lively once all the drinkers get home. . .

Seriously, whats in a size? Its basically a number!
I went shoe shopping today, I usually wear a size 6.5 but the shoe that fit me was a size 7. Different brands,etc.
Same with jeans, dresses, etc.
In some brands I wear a 0 and other brands I wear a 00 and other brands I wear a size 23(inches), some are 24...Its basically a number, who cares?!

What should matter is that a woman is healthy. I have said this before, Nicole Richie is a size 0 but does not look healthy. Eva Longoria is a size 0 and she looks healthy.
There are also women who are a size 10 and are very healthy. Health is what should matter to determine if a woman is sexy or not.



/my 2 cents.

Why do fat women give the best head?

Because they HAVE TO!

/Man Show goodness FTW

I was married to a fat woman and she's not only clinically depressed but a complete pyscho.

Good thing she's the one that left me. Now I'm free to have fun with the ones I should have been having fun with a long time ago.

I agree.

Most folks aren't secure enough in their skin to be ok with a size 10, however.

BMI and all that is just a waste of time. Good heart rate, good cholesterol, healthy eating, healthy living, exercise... that's all you need, really.

I am a size 10 and very happy with it.

But it helps if you are almost 6' tall.

Here, here! I agree. I myself wear a size 8/10 depending on the place I go to, but I am healthy and proportioned. Us southern women tend to be a little more curvy.

Gotta say... fat wife, very beautiful, very sexy, very much no problem with the whole doing a fat person thing. It's not a plus for me, but it's not a minus either.

I had a professor a couple of years ago who was telling us a story about one of his relatives who happened to be both overweight and happy-go-lucky. Then he said, "Why are fat people always jolly?" There was a very uncomfortable silence in the room. Generalizations about specific people do not go over well.

First, you're fighting an emotional problem (shame and embarrassment because of excess weight) with logic and information. It won't work.

Second, logic and information aren't on your side. Very few size ten women wouldn't be healthier if they ate quite a lot less. In fact, I would wager that there are far more people who feel "comfortable in their skin" at size ten than there are people who could maintain that size on a healthy diet.

There's an old medical saying that is popular in many fields: "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." Application here: When you're a size ten, think, "I'm doing something wrong," not, "Maybe I'm healthy at size 10."

That's not to say that people should hate themselves for being fat. Among other things, that makes it practically impossible for them to lose weight, so they definitely should work on feeling better about themselves. They just shouldn't use delusions to accomplish it. And why should they have to?

grackle: When you're a size ten, think, "I'm doing something wrong,"

Look at my profile, and tell me I'm doing something wrong! :)

Size has little to do with fatuosity.

/yes, I did just invent that word
//unless someone else invented it first

Eh, most of the fat people I meet seem to be bitter, not jolly. I think the stereotype arose back when maybe 1 out of 50 people was really fat, so they had to have a good personality. Now, everyone is fat and most of them are just sour.

I agree with many above; the truly fat people I know are invariably farked up.

Are we talking pleasantly plump here? Hollywood size + 20 lbs of healthy eating? Something tells me not.

They need to redo their study.

Women who are say 5'9" to 6' tall are perfectly normal looking and healthy in a size 10 to 12. Someone feeling good about themselves at this height and size isn't deluding themselves.

Women who are 5'4" are not. You can't just label a womens clothing size as too fat without relating it to height and build. Maybe where you live, most of the women are shorter? I see more statuesque amazons than anything lately it seems.

Size 8-10 is not fat. Good lord. 12 is thin if you're 5'11.

The FA says over 14.

Ahhh nothing like a fat chicks thread to get the ol' self esteem going.

My own research refutes their study.

Fat women are friendlier because they HAVE TO BE.

No mystery here.

Clothing size doesn't mean a whole farking lot when they keep changing what the size means.

What's the problem? It's not like the clothes you own now are getting larger because of the size change. And I know my pants size, but I try them on before I buy just in case, anyway, I think most other people do, too.

Hey, all women like to get farked, especially ones that may not be considered gorgeous by modern standards.

Totally. I'm 5'9", my sister's 5'6", she wears between a 4 and a 6, but even if I went completely anorexic, I couldn't starve myself down to fit into her clothing. My bone structure wouldn't allow it.

Uh, no.

Why the hell is the word Jolly always used with fat people?

Can't they say "fat women are happier" or "fewer cases of depression" instead of "jolly"

I can't imagine anyone calling anorexic supermodels jolly.

I guess it is because the obese have different brains than wirey thin people, with chubby people having the hormone fatsotonin, the jolly hormone, instead of seratonin, which causes happiness.

Heh. Now the anti-fatties can't fall back on the "Oh, but you run the risk of being depressed and unhappy, so lose weight!"

Hey, happy fat chick, you have beautiful eyes too. :)

I can't believe people are actually proud to be fat.

What ever happened to self-respect and dignity?

"Hey look at me, I don't have any self control and I'll blame my situation in life on someone or something else (McDonalds, corn syrup, 'gladular issues' etc."

RealFarknMcCoy2: And a note for the "no fat chicks" crowd who seem to think anything larger than a size 10 is fat: women who are size 10 and under and are over 5'4" are generally shaped like little boys... so if you like a bit of bubbelage, you might want to aim a little higher...

Dude, there's fat chicks that are shaped like little boys. It's a body type, not a question of fat. There are very curvy women with low body fat, and fat people with no shape at all. That shaped like little boys argument is tired.

Okay. I think that the problem here is that when someone says, "Fat Chicks" one group thinks of a Jabba-sized person and the others think of a woman who is not a size zero. There is obviously a large difference between the two.

I'd like to pose a question to the ladies: If you are supposed to be so comfortable with your size (be that what it may) why do you invent sizes that don't reflect the actual size? For example, I wear a size 36 jeans. This means my waist is 36" around. Pretty simple. However, women's sizes start with zero and end at, what? I don't even know the largest size since it is completely divorced from any measurement standards. Tangentially, the same thing with shoes.

I realize this has more to do with the manufacturer, however they are playing into a marketing scheme that most women seem to gladly accept.

I used to work with a woman who was a size zero. She looked like a tanned popsicle stick with too much mascara.

I hope on some level we understand that not all women are supposed to look like coked-up runway models. On the other end of the spectrum, don't expect me to applaud a woman for being rotund. The same goes for guys.

Nothing wrong there at all. What are you doing later?

RealFarknMcCoy2: grackle: something tells me you have extremely little knowledge of women's dress sizes...

Well, that could be. I plead guilty to basing that judgment on short women. However, I stand by my original point that if you're self-conscious about your weight for social reasons, you probably have an unhealthy lifestyle by medical standards. Unless height confers a greater ability to hide one's self-consciousness, it ain't the tall, gorgeous size tens who have self-esteem problems. (It takes tall girls an extra 5-10 years to figure out that height is an asset, but that's a separate issue that always resolves itself eventually.) It's a false comparison to put a short fat chick next to Liv Tyler and say she shouldn't worry because she's in good company.

Just Drawn That Way: I am a size 10 and very happy with it.

But it helps if you are almost 6' tall.

And drawn very nicely, indeed.

cerberus9: I can't believe people are actually proud to be fat.

What ever happened to self-respect and dignity?

"Hey look at me, I don't have any self control and I'll blame my situation in life on someone or something else (McDonalds, corn syrup, 'gladular issues' etc."

I don't blame it on anything, I have no clue why I'm fat. Yea, I eat about 2K calories a day, that probably has something to do with that. Also, I'm a scientist with a heavy work load, and though I can take some time off now and again to Fark, and I do take walks during the day and bikerides during the week, it's not apparently enough to make me thin.

Which brings me to the point of, what makes you think I don't have self-esteem and am not happy with myself? Someday I might choose to focus on losing the rest of the weight, but right now, I'm kind of busy trying to make sense out of corner of the Universe. I guess if all you're into is self-esteem through body image and the ruler you have to use there (or tape measure), that's your thing. Don't assume the rest of us aren't happy with ourselves, or don't like ourselves. We just don't equate self esteem with body fat.

HTH.

To expand on my point, I think there are only two groups of people who get social feedback about their body that flatly contradicts what a doctor would tell them.

First, there are too-skinny waifs who get no exercise and are judged healthy and attractive by the fact that they're "skinny," when really they're just small. Sometimes their body composition isn't that great and they're actually flabby, but people call them skinny and think they're hot.

Second, there are women who exercise a lot and have excellent body composition, but who are considered fat by other women because of their musculature. It's just stupid to think a triathlete is overweight because her back looks a little different in a dress, or to think a soccer player's legs are ugly.

Other than that, I have simply never observed see this phenomenon of healthy women who are judged unattractive because of their size. The ideal may be unhealthy, but for 95% of women in the US, becoming healthier would take them closer to the ideal.

grackle: Other than that, I have simply never observed see this phenomenon of healthy women who are judged unattractive because of their size.

See? I'm qualified to speak on the issue, because I suffer from similar social prejudice based on my grammar, and do you see me complaining about it? No, I know it's a fair cop.

DO NOT WANT Poster Girl: I don't blame it on anything, I have no clue why I'm fat.... Which brings me to the point of, what makes you think I don't have self-esteem and am not happy with myself? Someday I might choose to focus on losing the rest of the weight, but right now, I'm kind of busy trying to make sense out of corner of the Universe.

It's good to hear that. It's a mystery to me that you keep showing up in these threads, because you seem to care about this issue and feel like you have something personally at stake. I think you can speak a little bit more boldly and say, "Bwa ha ha. Trivial people, every second I spend thinking about my weight, or conversing with you for that matter, is a net loss for society. Maybe someday you'll understand, if you ever manage to do anything significant with your life." That would rate much higher on the awesomeness scale than showing up in every fat thread giving the finger to the "anti-fatties."

Anyway... kept off the geek fawning thing for as long as I could, but I'm only human. For all the respect I have for your accomplishments, I haven't agreed with you much in these threads. Excluding the guys who pop in to toss random insults at fat people, the argument tends to be fueled by those who believe that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between their own worth as human beings and the idea that they can lose weight by eating less and exercising more.

Sizes were invented by some woman in the fashion industry (I would imagine) to hide something. Why their clothes just can't have measurements like men's clothes is beyond me. When I buy pants, it has a length measurement and it has a waist measurement. Can't get much more specific than that. The mentality that came up with sizes is the same mentality that insists on naming food with some kind of euphemism so that it seems more edible. Rule #1. If I read something on a menu that has a fancy name, ask what it is.

a. It's probably either a bug of some kind.(escargot)
b. Some part of the animal that normally would be thrown out or given to the Poles next door when we slaughtered something.(tripe)
c. Something that had more than two legs.(calamari)
