Yeah, couldnt care less about the height of the girl, or the size of dress they wear as long as they have what I would consider a nice figure. I would be very surprised however if I found a girl with a great figure who was a size 12 and 5'6.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is a good thing. a lot of people get very defensive when you dont like a trait which they exhibit themselves. Everyone has plenty of shortcomings whether they be personality, weight or looks. Saying an ugly girl is ugly is not wrong, it is just insensitive.
Most people feel better if they are considered normal so they defend their shortcomings so that they dont have to accept them. If you care that much about it and can do something about it then go ahead and sort it out. If not then just accept it but please dont defend something simply because you fall under its banner.
