    Is the guy a jerk, yes. Should she have responded, no.

    The only thing she should have done is to get him to spend as much as possible so she makes more money.

    real men like curves only a dog likes bones.....

    any boy can drive a straight line only men can drive a curvy road.....
    And real women don't feel the need to label other women as bones.

    I bought two gigantor bags of candy on clearance at Target after Halloween and then grabbed a candy bar while I was waiting in line to check out. The cashier commented " are you sure you need to get that candy bar when you are buying all this other candy already?" I told him "I like to eat my feelings'" in a fabulous deadpan. LOL The kids didn't know what to say after that.

    No doubt. How does a man bashing thread become a woman bashing thread anyway. Let's stay on topic people: HATE TO ALL THE PENI!!!!

    This comment is just as bad as the one the dude said in the original post.


    Well done.

    While it was a bit rude to say - he is entitled to his opinion. He likes the smaller frame petite woman. What's the big deal? How is it disresepectful to women? Some guys like small, some do not care, some like bigger women.... we all like different things.

    Now.... he may change his mind after he's with her a while and if she gains weight he'll realize weight is a number and he loves her and that's what matters. But in the dating setting - physical attractiveness goes a long way.... he is attracted to smaller women. So be it.

    FTR I find what he said rude and I would've been taken aback by his comment. But again - his right to feel how he feels about size/weight.

    And shows people's unrealistic expectations in today's society!

    Which goes both ways.

    Jeebus...This thread brought back some anger issues for me. My ex used to tell me that if I ever hit 140 he was gone. Well, honestly? I didn't hit over 140 until I married my current husband.

    Here is the irony: After all those "anti-fatty lectures" I found out he was sleeping with my "friends." The overweight ones. That was kind of a deal breaker for me. :grumble:

    I would bet anything the guy doesn't even know what size 8 looks like. He also probably has no clue about frame and how it affects sizes.

    I feel too fat at a size 8 with my frame, but other women look fantastic at that size. As much as my BF can have his jerk moments, my body has never been an issue. He said the other day that he would find me beautiful no matter what I looked like because love is deeper than that.

    Was he kidding? If not, I also feel bad for his wife. I was watching Double Divas last night and a guy came into the shop looking for something for his wife. He said she had just had a baby three months ago but that he wanted to get her something in her pre-baby size so that it would motivate her to lose the weight faster. I was like really?! Guys just don't think about a woman's feelings sometimes. I hope your co-worker can brush this guy off because obviously he was out of line.

    I would have said, "I suppose she would leave a guy with an attitude like that," and then I'd laugh a stupid laugh like what I'd just said was so funny...as he did.

    Wow, women are people, not just arm decorations. You can order a specific piece of furniture or a car and expect it to never change size or shape. People....well, we just don't conform like that. He should go play with Hugh Hefner in the land where women are possessions used to impress others that should be replaced with the seasons.
    I'm not saying every married woman should be given a free pass on keeping herself up, I'm just saying it's a better idea to want your partner to keep themselves up out of mutual respect for the relationship and each person's health/happiness, not because the newer models look shinier every day.
    That's a deal breaker.

    Why is this whierd creep defending the jerk described in the OP? There is NO excuse for going around with the intention of hurting others - doing that makes you a bad person, cut and dry. If you subscribe to the same ideals as that insensitive imbecile, you're a bad person, too, and it will come back to haunt you. Enjoy.

    Agreed. Every has the right to their opinion. Fortunately, I also have the right not to agree with it people who have opinions like that (the guy mentioned in OP). It's what makes the world go round. Well, that and all kinds of sciency stuff.

    I find most guys have no idea what womens sizes mean.

    The guy was just trying to be funny. If I were her I would've put him on the spot and been like "Hey! I'm an 8! Are you trying to say I'm not an appropriate size for marriage?"

    WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JERK! I am SO sorry to your friend that she had to tolerate such rude disgusting behavior. I feel bad for this man's poor wife also! Women are PEOPLE! Our bodies are instruments not ornaments! He is just...EW!

    I would have asked him if he found Marilyn Monroe attractive.

    She was a 10, by the way.

    And did anyone care if she could act? No. All they cared about was whether she was in focus.

    She was a 14 in her time. btw; I inherited several spectacular designer cocktail dresses from her time; they are all labeled size 10 or 12, and they are all too small for me, a TODAY'S size 4.


    I believe this completely--she was a gorgeous woman, but there is no way her body was the same as today's size 12 or 14. It does go to show, however, that a number doesn't really mean anything.

    Sticking up for a body type doesn't mean you have to put down another one.

    Body shaming is NEVER okay.

    my apologies i'm sorry :( please forgive me i was not trying to be mean :D

    It is more of saying...why on earth would you let some random stranger you don't know get you this upset?

    WHO CARES?!

    If you don't know the person or know the intent of their comment, then don't spend time making it up in your head. As far as anyone knows, the dude just has a serious lack of knowledge of what is humorous to others.

    Working in Retail...you are NOT the moral police. You do NOT have a right to say something about a comment like that. Now you see someone hit someone else...yeah say something. But a stupid ignorant comment like this>? Nahh I got bigger fish to fry.

    Geezus.

    Hilarious response! I hate when cashiers make comments about purchases--positive or negative! I don't think I would have been so nice about it! LOL

    agreed! He likes what he likes and he's entitled to his opinion- without being actually married he has no REAL idea how he would feel if his wife gained weight- but he was TRYING to be funny, and my guess was he has no real idea of what a size 8 looks like- men rarely do . . . hell women rarely do
