here comes the negs but hey ho just my opinion; some people are naturally large butskinny so they have big sizes but arent fat but personally size 16 just misses that boundary and i personally would label it fat but thats just me. Like

here thats not jsut a large skeleton; theres definitely fat to be lost to match the skeleton and be in proportion. I dont think size 16 is ever okay

And if size 16 is not a danger to your health (which it isn't), then how can it "never" be OK?

Women are under a stupid amount of pressure to be sizes they don't necessarily suit just because society says they should.

She's smaller than the first woman you posted but clearly has a higher body fat percentage which proves my point about size 16 "never" being OK.

Her fat is mostly deposited on her stomach whereas the first is more evenly spread out, plus the 2nd woman looks shorter and has narrower hips. It's all about 1) genetics and 2) your frame.

Are you trying to tell me there are people out there who DON'T think size 16 is fat? Mind = blown.

But in all seriousness, this whole "I'm a REAL woman and proud" **** needs to stop. You're not 'curvy', you're an eyesore. Lose some weight or jump into the ocean where you belong.

I agreed with you until there.

The girl on the right is a size 16. How very dare she. :rolleyes:

Yep.

No where near fat...

it depends on a lot of things...
myself and my sister are the same dress size for me it is fat im more.. delicate? smaller hands smaller feet, at the size i am im not in proportion think potato with cocktail stick arms and legs teeny weeny raisin head... dangerous that is gonna topple over! ... my sister however if she was smaller it wouldnt be right.. she would look out of proportion the other way... shes got wayyy bigger feet than me shes more athletically built shes the right size for her body.
if that makes sense...

Here's another size 16. She is very attractive.

I could post equal amounts of terrible-looking size 8's and 10's, too. Does that mean they're too skinny?

The point is this is entirely subjective and differs from size 16 to size 16. Calling them all fat does not send out the right message to those women who suit or look good at size 16.

This

So basically what we're saying in this thread is;

Size 16 is still fat but doesn't mean unattractive

That's not fat :confused:

She looks great.

I fail to see how she can not be considered fat.

It's not like she's got a Christina Hendricks-type figure. Her waist is wider than her bust and almost as wide as her hips. She's fat.

That's what people are saying but it can't be because the size 16's I posted are all in shape.
