"Don't think he called a size 12 big. Think he meant he perfers women over a size 12, I could be wrong though...." She felt useless she was overweight...personally a like women over a size 12... the implication is there. Now do we need to discuss how all women do not look the same in a size 12 and over. As for this girls poor body image ..she needs a change if mindset and maybe more positive people around her. | |||

"This came up , This poor girl felt useless because she was over weight ,personally I like women over a size 12" You've covered most bases there mate. And not to offend anyone I do like something to grab hold on. That's my preference.  | |||

Maybe body image or size shouldn't have been mentioned from the OP. | |||

You do take a good pic and I have been guilty of having a few peeks at your profile. I don't think he meant any malice in his post, but if he hadn't of mentioned size 12 it may have been taken up in a different light.

"Whilst I will clearly admit to fancying the slimmer lady, I've seen size 22 looking sexy and yes I bloody would! I don't think anything below a 10 is woman in all honesty. Hips, tits, etc don't really mean anything below that size, do they? I know I'll get slated by the skinnier for this but f it. Just how I feel/see women. A size 8 or below makes me feel like I should be protecting her from being broken!" JD you know your one of my favorites but the issue is perception of size. I wear a dress and because of my height, the cut, my body shape i can look 2 dress sizes smaller then the lady next to me wearing the same dress. If we base how we feel about ourselves based on a label on the back of a dress something is not right...im more then a label and i wont be defined by a label. I cut those fuckers off. The post wasn't well phrased but i suspect written like that to create a bit of controversy...the OP knows what he's doing | |||

And saying things like that is exceptionally hurtful to the very many women who lack curves and feel like less of a woman all day every day because of it. Every single woman is beautiful in her own way. And you sir, are a grade A arelsehole. | |||

Or as ignorant. "Touché. Listen, I fucked up. I apologise. I love women in all shapes and sizes so let's leave it at that. I'm too inebriated to debate and don't want to get into an argument. Just let's say I'm size irrelevant, able to appreciate ladies of any size, based on personality, rather than anything else. Is that ok with you? | |||

"Nobody knows what people have to deal with on a daily basis. Most people male and female have body issues. Some learn to deal with them some find it very difficult. Body shaming is rife on here and it disgusts me. Shame on all the body shakers. It's good to see the way some stand up to others. I applaud you. Think before you speak and be kind." Body shamers not shakers. My phone is a bastard!! | |||

Maybe he could of said, he was shocked instead of herself, feeling useless. But your bang on about self esteem, everyone does suffer from it, in one way or another. | |||

"I wonder at what size the OP wouldnt have been hauled over the coals. If he had said for instance size 18 yes its still an inaccurate measure dur to varying brands, body shapes etc....

Gentlemen if i may....im a bigger lady. Im a size 16. Im also fit, active,eat healthy and yes i love a beer and even a slice of cake god forbid. Im a curvy women ..fuller figure.... voluptuous...or as some like to call me fat. For me this is a very emotive subject. I was the fat girl .. teased and bullied as a child. This is something i didnt get over till my late 30s. Very very slowly over the last few years ive learned to love myself and my body. I get frustrated with a womens value or sexiness been placed on her body shape. Sexiness is a state of mind ..its confidence in yourself and your own skin, its definitly not to be found in a dress size. I was always bigger then the other girls . Got my 1st bra at ten. As a young woman i was ashamed as a 42 year old im proud, confident and strong. For alot of women,bigger and smaller,focusing on body shape, sizes and weight is damaging to self esteem and self worth. Words can damage. On paper a size 16 is "big" ... I'm in proportion.. im fit ... healthy ..fantastic resting heart rate but a size 16. What's my lable ?? | |||

This is something i didnt get over till my late 30s. Very very slowly over the last few years ive learned to love myself and my body. I get frustrated with a womens value or sexiness been placed on her body shape. Sexiness is a state of mind ..its confidence in yourself and your own skin, its definitly not to be found in a dress size. I was always bigger then the other girls . Got my 1st bra at ten. As a young woman i was ashamed as a 42 year old im proud, confident and strong. For alot of women,bigger and smaller,focusing on body shape, sizes and weight is damaging to self esteem and self worth. Words can damage. On paper a size 16 is "big" ... I'm in proportion.. im fit ... healthy ..fantastic resting heart rate but a size 16. What's my lable ?? " So true people do not realise the damage using a label can do. For yrs was told "you'd be pretty if you lost some weight" etc etc However at 44 I'm starting to live my body, i am loving myself. Yes I'm curvy. I have fat ! I'm funny, cheeky, a good friend, a good listener, a good lover and I gave a lot of love for the people I care about. I can squat 50kg, deadlift 70kg, change a tyre, flip a large tractor tyres, I love food, I love cake and yes to some I may be fat but been overweight or a certain size or having hair a certain colour or having perfect teeth doesn't make you worse or better as a person. So ladies embrace your bodies and love every part of it because we got it all | |||

"I'm a size 16 for my hips and bum. Sometimes a 14, it all depends on the clothes. I'm a size 16 in some tops and others I need an 18 for comfort and shape round my boobs. Every woman is different in their shape, top and bottom. Most women aren't happy with their bodies (me included). We have it on our minds most of the time anyway so don't really need our size or shape pointed out to us by others. We know how we look. Every woman is sexy in her own right and her own way. It's not all about her body shape or size it's how she feels about herself. I've been a size 12, and even then I had the big bum, hips and boobs. That girl needs to surround herself with positive people, not one's that are going to point out what they see as her 'flaws'. That's their insecurity being passed onto her. Jealousy in its highest degree. Tina "Tina .... praise be bring women up dont knock them down. This is what its all about. Positive attitude and positive people | |||

Far from it .. there are men and women debating a very important topic.. one that needs to be discussed. " You touched on what i was getting at, one in four kids in this Country are overweight, what will be different about their childhood development compared to yours? This is in no way about trying to body shame any person. There is actually a far higher percentage of men who are obese in this Country compared to women, but unfortunately that is even more unspoken about here, what kind of ridicule would he come in for on this site..and this shite about not everybody being into excercise and diet, wtf like, we all have a responsibility to our children... | |||

I agree 100% with you, and that debate should have a full thread to itself to get proper reasoned discussion. I wasn't trying to label anyone just to see whatvthe forums perception was in relation to the OP's original statement | |||

I just mean more from a perception point of view what do those people who were straight on saying 12 isnt big think they would have ignored or agreed with the post at dress size wise Someone will always get annoyed or offended on other people's behalf, it's just the nature of the beast. I get that. I was actually just interested to see what peoples perceptions or thoughts on whats "big" now. Some of the comments saying that a size 12 was considered big now seems at odds with a population that on average is getting larger a. So I was wondering are peoples idea of what is overweight getting higher or lower I really dont think the labels help, in dealing with the obvious obesity problem we have in this Country, the debate becomes polarised very quickly, or is closed down immediately, as some feel like their being stigmatised even further. I think the current debate at the moment is interesting,and asks the question as to whether obesity is a disease or a lifestyle choice, the perception by some that obesity is unrestrained gluttony has never been useful in tackling what is a very serious problem.. Gentlemen if i may....im a bigger lady. Im a size 16. Im also fit, active,eat healthy and yes i love a beer and even a slice of cake god forbid. Im a curvy women ..fuller figure.... voluptuous...or as some like to call me fat. For me this is a very emotive subject. I was the fat girl .. teased and bullied as a child. This is something i didnt get over till my late 30s. Very very slowly over the last few years ive learned to love myself and my body. I get frustrated with a womens value or sexiness been placed on her body shape. Sexiness is a state of mind ..its confidence in yourself and your own skin, its definitly not to be found in a dress size. I was always bigger then the other girls . Got my 1st bra at ten. As a young woman i was ashamed as a 42 year old im proud, confident and strong. For alot of women,bigger and smaller,focusing on body shape, sizes and weight is damaging to self esteem and self worth. Words can damage. On paper a size 16 is "big" ... I'm in proportion.. im fit ... healthy ..fantastic resting heart rate but a size 16. What's my lable ?? Your fit, your healthy, your beautiful as your pics show. To hell with the begrudgers, You cant beat a good personality. I've a shit personality Dont feel too disheartened, you have nice tits "This is true ....sunshine behind every cloud | |||

"This came up , This poor girl felt useless because she was over weight ,personally I like women over a size 12" size 12 isn't in any way over weight. Why do people get hung up on being match stick thin. Be happy from the inside not the outside  | |||

"Just read the whole thread and as a slimmer lady(hate the word skinny) can i just say i do hope i as a person i am not defined by my size but i know we all are unfortunetly. I have struggled all my life with my weight always being told i needed to gain weight. So believe me wen i say women of all shapes and sizes get shamed enough without having to deal with it here too. We come here for a break from real life " Exactly whether we're curvy or slim we're woman. If you've a prefernce dont make others feel bad about themselves. Appriciate all shapes and sizes | |||
