I'm not skinny and I've never had an issue with my body/weight. I'm a little too overweight now, but that doesn't bring my confidence down...I'm getting it under control -its just like working, I don't like to work out, but I do what I gotta. That being said, a "real" woman is the woman who doesn't go whining about how ugly/fat she is and doesn't go fishing for compliments to try and boost her own morale.
I was always the skinny girl and people were fucking pricks to me about it. I've gotten the "eat a cheeseburger" comment too many times to count. Whats funny about that is I used to stuff my face with all kinds of unhealthy food because I felt like I had to conform to some curvy ideal, and I finally gave up and just started eating healthy...and thats when I gained weight. so the whole eat a cheeseburger comment is bullshit anyways. And if I had more balls I would have told every girl thats ever said that to me to stop eating so many cheeseburgers because they aren't good for you. damnit
No one is purposely trying to make themselves fat but I've seen women starve themselves literally almost to death to get to be thin. Everyone was jealous of me when I was an anorexic looking model. The teasing didn't bother me at all. It's fat people, especially fat women who are hated and discriminated against. There's no even remote comparison.
I've actually seen tv shows about woman who are trying to get big lol. One woman was trying to become the fattest on earth. I think she was on dr phil. or they webcammed with her because she couldnt leave the house. but yea
Two reasons why a woman comments on another woman's skinniness: 1:she's jealous 2: she's worried about the other person Usually if a woman sees another woman who's healthy and she likes it her comment will be along the lines of "looking good!" Or "you look great!"
IRONICALLY I'm chubby and yesterday i splurged my homeless ass on a "big burger" ham bacon and a big ass patty and a dill pickle, wasn't worth the whole mount of money.... shoulda hit my ass up at McDonald's but it was still good (first thing i ate all day). i figure its time to detox, drop some pounds and show off the curves my chubby likes to sit on. so the burger wasn't the great idea, but i had a LONG day yesterday, i actually wished it was a little more melty and and greasy, the beef had very good taste but lean. and needed salt. But ANYWAY yeah i wouldnt worry about it, our brains can get caught up in useless drama and spend brain power on it when we women.... meaning skinny or fat... dont need to pay attention to all the haters. Maelstrom's burger looks AMAZING Irminsul's rap is totally me right there! hey how about this idea REAL BURGERS HAVE CURVES!
U Go Girl Studies show that being overweight but not "obese" actually reduces your risk of dying. People like to point out that people have never been so fat, that the average person used to be way thin compared to now, and that's true for almost anywhere and especially in the U.S. But food scarcity also used to be a lot more common, and dangerously underweight people were a lot more common.
I guess it is clear you don't need the same kind of diet as your chubby friends so perhaps they perceived it like that. But yeah, diets can differ greatly and are not only advisable for overweight people at all. I know skinny people who never eat vegetables
I know guys who do this to the extreme as well. I am sure you do too, they are a stereotype. They do it often for the same reason as girls. The sad thing is most of the time they appear to not even be aware that they doing it/how they are perceived. I have told people they are getting perceived as annoying braggers by such behaviour but it seems to be in their system. Yes, I am sure it is to make themselves consciously or subconsciously look like a better/succescul person. Generally it is indeed to compensate some insecurity in their own life.
Back in my skinny days (well, I'm still pretty thin but I've definitely put on some curves in the last couple of years) I had more guys than girls comment on my weight. They were just being mean; there is really no other excuse for it. Which I think is what the Op is trying to point out....making rude comments about someone's weight is insensitive and mean regardless of the person's weight. Some skinny women may be proud of their weight and remarks may roll off their back, but I always found "skeletaur" to be just as offensive as 'fat ass."
The same thing happened to me with my girlfriends. I am the thinnest out of them, and when they would talk about diets I would join in on the conversation. I am thin, but I am not healthy. I eat junk food constantly and don't really exercise. So why not go on a "diet"? Diet doesn't just mean cutting down on your food intake, it also means being healthier. They would say the same things your friends did. It would make me really mad and feel super self conscious.
I don't like how it's considered "superficial" to only date skinny women. I'm sorry, I don't care if you have the BEST personality in the world. If I'm not sexually attracted to someone, then it's not happening. (and I am not sexually attracted to big women.)
