What do you clas as FAT???

FURTHER to the thread on whether guys prefer "thin" or "curvy" girls, what actually counts as being fat?

Charlotte Church? Martine McCutcheon? And is this because they are obviously not toned at all? Also, lots of guys talk about how the "rolls of flab" are the main thing they cant stand...well i certainly dont have rolls, but my stomach is quite soft. Is that revolting?

And thin girls.I think Mischa Barton has a figure to envy, but is that a bit too thin?

:eek: i dont think those two are fat at all! I like their figures. If we're talking fat, id say someone like that michelle woman who won pop idol. Thats fat. But dont worry too much, if someone likes you, theyl be happy whatever size you are. :smile:

:rofl:

You're joking right?

Fat is like if they have a fat face or a really fat (more than curvy) arse or stomach or something. Or if you can't tell where their boobs end and their stomach starts.

So abit of extra beef does not make you an automatic an automatic sexual pariah?
Anna Nicole PRE-TrimSpa.
Neither of the people you mentioned are fat.

Mischa Barton is lovely though! :love:

'Fat', to me, denotes where body mass has accrued such that the 'feminine' aesthetic (by which physical attractiveness is gauged) becomes compromised; thus, a sense of proportionality will invariably be of paramount importance: neither Charlotte Church nor Martine McCutcheon are 'fat' except in so far as they may contain substantial quantities of lard (albeit well-apportioned).

Self-evidently: the proposition is affirmed.
A bit of extra weight never hurt anybody. Clinically obese, that's what I count as 'fat'. I prefer slightly 'podgy' girls, thinness makes me think that she is underfed and could waste away at any moment, leaving my potential offspring to fend for themselves.

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't listen to my instinct so much...

I think Charlotte Church and Martine McCutcheon are very attractive girls - they've got very curvy figures and that's nothing to be ashamed of!
Michelle McManus is fat. Obviously.
I would also say Jade Goody is a bit fat. Can't think of any more right now...

I class fat as what apppears to be 'all the rage' at the moment which is girls who wear jeans that are too low and t-shirts that are too high leaving exposed a large expanse of flabby white skin bulging nf at rolls over their trousers. THAT is disgusting and THAT is fat. In my opinion :wink:

Depends on yourself. I know people who are 15-20% and don't look fat, just big and people who are 13-50% and have a belly.

Which bones? You can see my collar-bones quite clearly...actually you can see most people's collar bones quite clearly - but I don't think I'm that thin! And ribs...does that count, if you can see the lower ribs (assuming this isn't someone you see on the street unless they're wearing no top (ie chavs out on the town in December)? I have visible 'lower' ribs (sorry, not great on anatomy!) , but I think thin is when you can see the top part of the ribs when someone wears a v-neck top or strapless dress or something. Or when women's heads look too big for their bodies...that is weird and does not look good!

Martine McCutcheon or Charlotte Church might technically be overweight but not look that fat, even if, leaving aside the whole 'how accurate is BMI' thing, you can see that they have a certain amount of flesh. But as long as it's in proportion it looks ok, providing you don't wear the aforementioned low jeans...ugh.

I agree Mischa Barton is a beanpole.


...yet charlotte church is fat. hmmmm.

whoever said charlotte church and martine mccutcheon are overweight, i don't really think that's true...i would have thought both of them were at the upper end of the 'healthy' weight range

You've not seen fat till you've been unable to move down a bus because the gangway was blocked by overhang.
