This is not curvy. This is fat.

Google it. You will see that I am correct about the 10%.
She is fat. You probably think that obese is fat, and fat is slightly tubby. As for real women.....


There is a good reason why these women get paid more in a month then she will get paid in 5 years....

Oh look at that. You completely avoided my first line proving me right on my idea that you live in a bubble of denial.

No no no. Sorry, but you are just wrong.
Only 10% of people overweight are overweight due to medical reasons. Everyone else needs to eat less and/or do more exercise.
Ask a doctor about his opinion on her. She will be overweight and most guys will not find her attractive. All that has happened is that your idea (and the average British perception) of fat is actually obese or morbidly obese.
As for looking fine, how does she look compared to a real model - say a VC model?




You do like to sugar coat the truth. This is obvious as you accuse me of insulting people when I actually have not, I have merely stated facts or a simple opinion.
As for helping fatties, I am in the process of getting a rather overweight to go to the gym however it is my experience that most can not be helped as they have to admit that they are overweight/have a problem.




Again, medical problems only account for roughly 10% of overweight people so stop using them as a reason.
being lazy is pretty self explanatory when it comes to weight eg the person does no exercise. This will cause a person to burn off less calories and probably gain weight.
Do your research before commenting on evidence of attraction. Many studies have shown that it exists, just have a look at the 0.7 ratio for women.
You actually show why it is very unlikely that a fat person has high self-esteem. If it is based on self-acceptance, then they have to accept that they are overweight and the many reasons why they are overweight. If they then proceed to ignore this problems after accepting them, then they are inherently a bad person. What is more likely is that they accept their problems and then deal with them resulting in a change of lifestyle and weight.

The woman is most certainly fat. Not morbidly obese, but fat nonetheless.

Does this matter? No. It's her body. If she's comfortable in it, that's all that matters. What right do I have to criticise her for her life choices?

But, she is fat. That's just a statement of fact.

On the statistics.. I don't know. But this is an interesting graph:

So in an adult population, less than 3.2% should be obese due to health concerns... But 23% of UK is obese? So that means at least ~20 out of 23 is down to life choices.

Wait, where are you getting the 3.2% from? You can't honestly use Japan and Korea's low figures for that reason. Are you suggesting thus that there are no people whatsoever in those countries who are overweight due to life choices?

As for the 23%, that is seriously worrying...

But I still don't agree that this woman is fat. Fair play that you're not insulting her for it or commenting on her own feelings about her body but I definitely do not consider her fat.
Above the average size, fair enough but not fat.

Looking good is like being rich - everyone wants it but most people never achieve it because they are too lazy.
Of course being a mother is hard work, but what ever happened to the father helping out? Also do some exercise at home. If your kid is watching tv or playing, go on a treadmill or do a work out dvd.
Time and money is only a small factor. What they lack is effort and dedication.

Being fat is a choice for 90% of people. They choose to eat too much or eat badly, they choose to do no exercise. No one forces them to do these actions, ergo it is a choice. As for 'being happy with what they have' , they are simply complacent.

Rocket science is hard. Competing in the Olympics is hard. Losing weight is easy, it only takes time and commitment which most people lack.

Why would I want to accept someone for being chubby? As I have mentioned, this shows they are lazy, lack self control, motivation, ambition, and have possible emotional issues. All of these are terrible traits to have and I would not want to be with someone so screwed up.

That wasn't an insult.

Sigh, best of luck trying to get one of those women for yourself...

lol.. I have read the research. There is little evidence of objective or instinctual human attractiveness, apart from hip/waist ratio and symmetrical facial features. Our understanding of physical attraction is very limited, even the people who devised the 0.7 ratio/facial features studies have said this.

And self-acceptance is a common basis as put forward by the psychological profession. How can one not be confident without self-acceptance? Self-acceptance also means accepting flaws, since everybody has them, and either leaving them be or changing them if they are bothersome in one's life. A person who cannot speak publicly can have healthy self-esteem, but choose to overcome this weakness if it is a hindrance. you simply are basing your conclusions on what pop culture tells you, not any hard evidence or facts.

Right, so without meeting me or talking to me, you have assumed that I am

lazy
unhealthy
'screwed up'
have a lack of self control
unmotivated
ambitionless

need I carry on?

It will interest you to know that I am a rocket scientist.

Stop trolling Jimbo, no one cares.

I dont get the whole "anyone who is plus size is a real woman" argument.... surely some women are naturally slim and some women are naturally larger. "Real women" come in all different shapes and sizes not just 14 and above. Seeing as they have plus size and skinny models what about us size 8-12's LOL!

Anyway I digress, I think she's a beautiful woman none the less

****ing media putting the idea in fatties' heads that this = curvy

this is what a 'real woman' actually is by today's standards.

sad.

Unless it is due to medical reasons, then you will most likely have one or more of those traits.
If not, then why have you chosen to be overweight?
How has being overweight helped you?

Why do you assume that I have 'chosen' to be this way?

In terms of how it has helped me, dear: it has given me the smartest, loveliest, sexiest BROAD MINDED (an important factor in good people...) boyfriend there could ever be. I've got to say, that's pretty positive.

Why should I justify my reasons for being 'fat'? If being thin means I get people like you after me, Jimbo my lad, then I'd rather be Dawn French.

Who, by the way, is beautiful, funny, sexy and smart.

Deal with it Jimbo. Just deal with it my man.

Who is to say we should improve flaws? As I said, everybody has them. Some people are overly talkative, or are thoughtless, it is part of who they are. This has nothing to do with self-esteem/confidence. A person who bases their confidence only on being good looking is a loser frankly.

The studies are not final and there is more to learn about, and know, physical attractiveness. I think there are some commonalities in attractiveness, we far from know a complete picture.


This doesn't prove instinctual attractiveness, or at least cannot stand as good proof of it. lol... What fool believes that simply because most people think something, it's inherently good? it's better to see or understand why most people think so.

Actually, **** the media for brainwashing girls with the idea that a 'real woman' has a stomach that shows every single rib in her body, legs up to heaven and somehow manages to grow a pair of gigantic boobs all at the same time. If that's the case, 'real women' don't exist.

Do your research before commenting on evidence of attraction. Many studies have shown that it exists, just have a look at the 0.7 ratio for women.

Anyway, as I have shown, more guys prefer VC models over the tubby lass OP showed so I think this is enough evidence to show that being fat is not attractive to most people.
