Wimmins and getting chunky

[steve-h]

But it doesn't seem to just be excess fat, calves don't get fat until you are obese, and their calves have gone from slim to chunky/muscular.

Perhaps they are taking roids?

They're getting heavier because of the fat... their calves are now constantly in workout mode.

Are you very muscular then or fibbing about your waist measurement?

I'm 5'11'', 32" waist, average build and only 11.5 stone.

5'9", 36" waist, 15ish stone. I cycle 135m a week every week but ohgod dem cakes and sweets...

 

[Justintime]

And i'm about 5' 11" 12 stone with a 34" waist 32 is impossible for me, even when i was 18 (12yrs ago almost ) and weighed in at a whole 9.5-10 stone it was impossible.

 

[icecold]

I don't even know what my actual waist size is, I have to buy 36" trousers to fit my legs 5'11" 85kg ish

RE: wiminz getting chunky... They are eating too much.

 

[arknor]

Nothing against 'bigger women' personally and bit of a preference actually but what does nark me off is when bigger women have ridiculous standards for others, I know a lot that wouldn't touch a man unless he's totally ripped or at the least a total beanpole and they fawn over men like that, yet ironically claim big to be beautiful :s

lol i know 2 fatties like that they are like whales and constatntly go on about ripped men in tv shows that would probably stick them on the BBQ in real life

Only cycle to and from work about 10 miles a week... But:

36" waist
6'4"
16 stone

I make no concessions to the whole big is beautiful ****. It just seems cruel to me as it means either the bigger girls get really arrogant about their bodies and then can't find a man to fit their standards, developing the hideous "I'm too much of a real woman for you" attitude and eventually leaving them really unpleasant and lonely people, or they get confidence for a while, then it gets crushed again as they realise that it's not attractive again. I'm a perfect gentleman most of the time but I'm honest about stuff like girls being overweight and it not being attractive; girls don't seem to mind as long as you're reasonably tactful about it. Up to size 8 is generally better looking imo, but at least at my age (17) girls who exercise to stay slim almost always look better than girls who diet for it. It might be the health benefits of exercise, or it might just be that those girls are the ones who care more about their bodies. I think it's the line between saying that 'in all honesty, big is not beautiful' followed by explaining why I think it's cruel, rather than going up to big girls and saying 'eh fatty, lose some weight, yeh?' - i.e. just being candid about what I like versus imposing that opinion on others.

As for the measurement stuff since we're all doing that for some reason:
29" waist
5'10
60kg/9.5 stone

Yeah, me too. 13.5m commute each way though. I should be a stick figure but my sweet tooth is so big it has its own postcode...

Still, at least men don't get fatter as they get older. Oh, wait...


Ignoring the massive double standard being operated here, the reasons both sexes get fatter as they get older are the same:

1) More food. Generally people in a steady relationship eat more.
2) Less exercise. Not so much deliberate trips to the gym (but they get less frequent and intense), but all the other bits of life now get done slower or not at all.
3) Less care. Linked with 1), once you've settled you're less likely to look after your weight.
4) Age. The older you are, the less food you need to keep a constant weight. But few people reduce their food intake with age.

Exactly. You always get double standards. Especially in a misogynistic heavily male based Internet forum.

Everyone talking about fat girls now has to post a picture of themselves for reference.

Deal?

I've got no problems with this but then I don't spout **** like "Size 12 heffer" .

For reference I am:

5'10"
10st 7lb
13% body fat.
60 BPM resting heart rate.

In a recent works fitness I was informed I have a very good fitness level for my age (and I am a chronic asthmatic) but I do keep fit despite being in a relationship for like a gazzilion years. That getting fat because you have settled down is a bad excuse really.

 

[Monkeynut]

I'm a 38/40" waist but somehow I only look slightly large, my frame seems to carry the weight really well. Of course, I'm not a woman.

Women gain weight more easily than men, but this definition of thin or big as normal is rubbish, different people are different shapes and frankly anyone who tries to force an image onto someone who is naturally a certain shape needs to chuff off.

Obviously you do get those with a fast pie hand who are over what's healthy and natural but then telling a woman that is at your own risk!!!

I definitely agree with this, but I think this too often gets taken too far and anybody saying that they don't find fat girls attractive is supposedly trying to force them to starve themselves etc. It's simply being honest - Girls ask what's attractive, I say what I think is attractive, and what I think other guys find attractive. I don't say they absolutely have to target that if they are to be of any worth as a person, but in the same way that guys know that the vast majority of women will prefer muscles to flab, I think girls should be able to comfortably know that being athletic/slim is generally more attractive to being fat - guys don't feel forced into gymming every day; they just know if they want to get in shape that is has the bonus of looking good.

I think the one at the bottom actually has a disease that she can't absorb calories, sorry for the girl. The top one is just a joke though, does she really think shes fit? eww.

2nd one has to be fake? Please?

Looks like a ****ing Bo Selecta character or something

 

[XeNoN89]

I noticed girls getting bigger as soon as they left school/ college


Going to Uni = lots of drinking and eating **** food, and they all seem to pile it on

 

[G-MAN2004]

It's because British women are terrible.

I found the opposite. Either girls went to uni, or they got fat and had kids. If it was a venn diagram, the circles would be entirely distinct.

This has a bit of truth in it... Where I work/live most of the good looking females seem to be of Eastern European descendancy e.g. polish/russian etc.
