    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.
    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 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.
    This...made my day! HAHAHAHAHA! THANK YOU!

    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.

    LOL come on give me a break guys.... mexican ladies have curves..... im never gonna b a size 2 with this booty and chest LOL .... i have to stick up for the curvy girls!!! JLO is not a size 2!!!

    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

    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.

    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

    It was at least quick-witted?

    I had an ex tell me once that I was "only allowed to gain weight 2 or 3 times in our 'life together'" (referring to when I popped out his kids). Needless to say, that relationship didn't last.

    I was, and still am, out of his league looks-wise. He still calls to ask "how I'm doing". Douche-canoe.

    Douche-canoe=my new favorite phrase....

    Likewise. I'm partial to "*kitten* hat" as well. :smile:

    Why is it NOT okay for the man to "bash" a size 8 but its ok for you to "bash" a smaller size?

    Sounds like a guy who needs a girl on the smaller side so some part of his anatomy or another will potentially look big in comparison.

    Ha! probably! What an idiot!

    Rude thing to say, but I feel more sorry for his wife than your coworker, to be honest.

    I completely agree! I can't imagine what he would have said to me at a size 14. What a ****!

    Okay, I don't think either of you are understanding the implications of his comment at all. When men reduce their relationships with the women in their lives to the size of their pants, they are also dehumanizing us and belittling our contributions. A woman is not a THING that comes in the shape or size you prefer, and she certainly does not earn herself a place amongst divorcees simply for putting on a few lbs, especially as she ages. FACT - as women get older, their ideal weight goes up. Some men will have to learn to deal with that or spend their older years alone (and pathetic).

    I can understand a morbidly obese partner putting stress on a relationship - at that point, it's not about appearance anymore, it's actually a health issue and a burden. Waxing and waning between a size 4 and a size 8 is SO NORMAL for MOST women post-childbirth. If a man can't respect that, he doesn't deserve to HAVE a wife.

    odds are that if he's that shallow, the girl he's with is likley the same... being a plus size most of my life I find people like that are usually super unhappy. I'd rather be fat and happy than skinny, shallow and miserable. (however now I would rather be fit and happy) ...

    I never said I'd personally say anything, nor did I say it would offend me to the degree it offended the coworker in the OP. But this is the internet and an opinion thread, so I am sharing my opinion on the GUY WHO SAID IT. What I said was that people who go out of their way to hurt others are bad people. I didn't say I was upset, I said I find it strange that someone would actually defend another person's bad behaviour. Thinking it wasn't enough of a big deal to cry over is one thing, but DEFENDING someone else's sh*ittiness makes you sh*itty, too.
