ditto, this lady walks all the time in our area, and she's so very very skinny (i.e. anorexic) and it grosses everyone outLundy said:Fat people are more offensive to society . Although I have been 'grossed out' by as many extremely thin people as I have been by extremely obese people.
just because you're not tanned doesnt mean you dont go outsidehipsta_jess said:It is interesting a few hundred years ago it was attractive to be pasty white and fat as this symbolised wealth as you had access to more food than you needed and you didn't need to go out in the fields and be physically active. Now, its attractive to be slim and tanned as it shows you have self restraint with food and have enough spare time to get out in the sun. I wonder what will be 'in' in another few hundred years?
Weight is not the issue here. Some people can't help being very thin because they have high metabolisms. Or they may have issues with their weight. Those people should not be laughed at.braad said:ditto, this lady walks all the time in our area, and she's so very very skinny (i.e. anorexic) and it grosses everyone out
So how is someone who is, say a size 6, "better" or "less disgusting" than a person who is, say, a size 26?I have a friend who is very, very thin naturally and eats like a pig because she's been trying to put on weight for years - unsuccessfully.

that is very true.Ms 12 said:I would like everyone who is of relatively normal size who are quick to defend very skinny people saying 'its just how they are, they might not be able to put on weight' to step back and see it the other way too. And Im sure most of us girls here know its a lot easier to put on weight than it is to lose it!
That's stupid, all fashion is 'made' for skinny people because it looks 'better' on skinny people. So what if not everyone excercises, if you have a problem with how they look go cry for a while then grow up.im sorry, but hipsters by definition in my opinion are made for skinny people. as are the summery dresses this season. slimming down is actually healthy, people are a little too preoccupied with the idea of embracing ones "curves" to notice whether or not they are a healthy weight.
i have found that a large percentage of teenagers and young adults dont excercise at all.
yeah i can agree with the fashion items looking better on skinny peops- i wouldnt be caught dead in a ra ra skirt or skinny jeans! i look waaaaay better in tailored pants, collored shirts, v necks, knee length pleats and wrap dresses (even though i am envious of all those cute summer dresses! )Not-That-Bright said:That's stupid, all fashion is 'made' for skinny people because it looks 'better' on skinny people.
