I think that perception is motivated solely by jealousy.

@wg – To link an “aside”, just click on the comments and use that permalink. That said, I think you’re right. But that may tie into the skinny girl’s belief that fat chicks are simply more grateful.

Personally, I suspect the reason is pretty basic. I would have linked to your Aside, but there aren't unique links for those. :s

Somehow, I suspect this post won’t make it. Is there a website which tells about sizes o women’s clothing? As a dirty old man, I do know about cup sizes. But men don’t have those problems.

(well, men’s shirt sizes are a problem. It used to be one could buy a shirt 17″, but today they are are sold with a variation of a half inch.)

Women should have curves. They should not look like a pair of canteloupes dangling from a bundle of sticks.

I agree that it ultimately comes down to attitude, but there’s also an aspect about acceptance which is important, too.

That’s one nice thing about America getting fatter — there aren’t nearly as many skinny people busily trying to tear down everyone else. And our concept of what’s attractive has expanded, too (pun intended).

goshdarnit, I’d be happier than sin in a convent if I could fit in a size 20!

A 14? Not since college. I’m a big girl and proud of it. I’d look hotter than hot in a size 14.

Having said that, sizes are a fraud anyway. My youngest wears anything from a size 8 through 12 depending on the maker and the style.

I remember a little experiment a girlfriend and I did once upon a time. We were at a dance, she was a lovely size 8 and I was a lovely size 22. The experiment was that I would smile, laugh, and compliment men on their dancing, she would sit with a frown, or non-expressive look. Who got asked to dance that night? Me. I was exhausted and had a great time.

My friend gave up on the experiment and joined in the fun about an hour later.

Whatever size you are, enjoy it and have fun.
