I had that happen when we were taking this pic:


The one to the far left was by me but moved because I would make her look fat.


I will not say what I wanted to say to her when she made her comment.
I am the one second to the end on the right and the one next to me with the glasses also was my boss that was called an anorexic by our patient.

At least now if anybody would call her fat when he/she sees that picture it's not your fault ..

so this is helping the situation?

While American women see super-thin stick models and feel unattractive and unhappy about their average or curvy bodies, men don't feel the same way. Fully 80 percent of men ages 18 to 50 say they want a voluptuous woman, according to former plus size model Nancy Hayssen, who has written a book every woman could love based on the title alone: "101 Sexy Secrets: How to Be Hot, Sexy & Beautiful at ANY Size!" Another 15 percent of men prefer a woman of average size, while just 5 percent opt for a super skinny lady.

Twenty years ago, most fashion models were a size 8. Today, that's been replaced by an emaciated size 0. Meanwhile, during those same two decades, the average American woman, who stands 5' 4", ballooned from a size 10 to a size 14. Fun fact: A 14, which is now considered a "plus size," was approximately sex bomb Marilyn Monroe's dress size.

"We're being lied to everyday. The fashion industry and Hollywood have spread the myth that men want skinny, anorexic-looking women," asserts Hayssen. "The truth is it's plus size or curvy women who are considered beautiful."

That sentiment was echoed in a recent poll of 4,000 adults conducted by British weekly magazine Grazia to find out the ultimate attractive man and woman. Men overwhelmingly said they are most attracted to women who have curves, rather than skinny women, and prefer brunettes with "long, wavy hair." And 78 percent said a woman's most attractive feature is her smile.

Men are a practical lot. Three-quarters said the hobby they find most attractive in the opposite sex is cooking.

So what do women want in a man? A stunning 93 percent are looking for someone who makes them laugh, while 73 percent want someone who will "automatically" pay for a meal. Men who own their own home are five times more attractive than a man who does not. OK, so women are practical, too.


So org men do you agree?

When that girl told me she didn't want to stand next to me on the photo and everybody was looking at us it felt quite strange. So if someone acts like that I think that someone has to live with other people's comments.

...Man, who the fuck cares what men think anyway.

No, I don't mean my comment as an attack against the individual who started this thread.

Curvy and voluptuous without being overweight - that's probably what 95% of all men like.

GreenLeaves said:

I take no offense. But I do notice that the people who usually say it doesn't/shouldn't matter are usually women.

morningsong said:

Yeah, I'm female. At this point, you're probably thinking, "I asked men for their opinion. Men."

But, dude... I don't know.

It's funny.
There's a lot of what was going on in the Jennifer Love Hewitt thread going on in here but put into different contexts.

People like WHAT THEY LIKE.
Period.

I have a female friend who's very thin, and she likes chubby guys. It's what she's into.

Of course i've got male friends from the hood that like a girl with some weight on her.

Some women won't even look at a guy if he's shorter than 6' tall.
I'm 5'9". Does that give me a complex? NO!
Because i like my height.
I've got little muppet hands and tiny little feet.
But it's easy for me to buy shoes.

Some people won't date outside of their race.
Do i agree with it? No.
Do i lose sleep over it?
No.

So with that said, i think it's okay to like what you like.
Big folks, don't feel bad about being big.
Cuz there's someone out there for ya!
Skinny folks, ditto!

I'm not into big girls. Mostly cuz i'm afraid of getting bones broken.
But i'm sure they're not into me either.

So there ya go.
You be you.
I'll be me.
If someone doesn't like you for who you are, it's alright!
There's someone out there that does.

I get people who tell me that they hate me because I'm so skinny. Of course it's the women. I have always been petite and small boned. That's just who I am. Sure, I have days where I may not be completely happy with my body. I think every one does.

I don't know why this is such a big issue. Everyone has their preference. But, really when you get right down to it. If you meet someone and you really like them that has a lot to do with how you view them physically too. You may see someone out and think initially that they aren't your type but if you get to know them and really connect with them I think they become more attractive to you.

I do get sick of so many people telling me I'm too skinny. I always get accused of not eating. My mother thinks I have an eating disorder. I said to her. Mom people that have eating disorders don't eat chocolate ice cream and pizza.

You do have a drinking disorder, tho...all that Pepsi...

Byron said:

Yeah, I am addicted.

I also tell my mom that if I had an eating disorder I wouldn't drink a soda every day. I hate diet soda.

Pepsi is the fake coke. I only drink the original

Even though you like the devil's drink I still like you.

Sure I had stupid comments like that other women don't want to be on a photo next to me as I make them look fat and coments that I am anorexic. But I think in most cases they are out of jealousy and I don't care.
