XIX Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 With zero being S.O.S. (Surprisingly Stupid), and ten being sheer genius. (said for the umteenth time) "I'm really fat." Response one: "Well, eat less chocolate and go to the gym more." Response two: "You can't keep comparing yourself to supermodels!" R1 and R2 were both uttered by guys. The "I'm fat" comment came from a female who, IMO, is at a rather healthy weight. And I'm completely aware of the fact that there's not really a right way to deal something like this, but I wanted to get other people's opinions about this (especially the ladies).

IcePrincessKRS Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Um..... 0 and 6 respectively. Because no matter how true response #2 is, I really don't think any girl wants to be told that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin86 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) I think the guy who said you can't keep comparing yourself to supermodels hit it dead on. I mean people get dyslexia over this idea that they're fat when they're a size six. It boggles my mind.

Aloysius Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 My response: "In the Middle Ages, fat was a sign of wealth and longevity of life; when the next great famine comes, you will outlive us!" lol... yeah, I'm "single"... what's that got to do with anything?

Aloysius Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 see... one time they tried on a dress that they thought was size 6, so when they go on to try on a dress again, it doesn't fit. turns out that they were dyslexic, and the first dress was really a size 9! so they get all depressed thinking that they're supposed to be a size 6.

Lena Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) There really isn't a great response to the "I'm fat" comment. Our society is too warped now on perfection in starvation....not that it's everyone's ideal, or even realistic, but I see the effects of it everywhere. Especially on the mindset concerning food. I have a friend that is a size zero, and she is always complaining about being fat. I think its because she likes hearing (or [i]needs [/i] to hear) "no, you're so thin!" She eats, just not a lot. oh, and Pro-Ana groups and images of supermodels, etc, don't help the matter. Edited December 12, 2007 by Lena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
