Real women have curves.

It's a stupid saying, but if it helps a person feel confidence and self esteem in their little tiny brains then I see no harm. If it's slathered all over the internet like a really cheap lotion, and it's made to make someone else feel inferior then that's harmful.
Depends on the context.1 -

No that not it. I don't have anger over people giving up on their health because, now people are using terms like that to make it acceptable to be obese.0 -

I love how when this question gets asked me post a picture of chicks who weigh 115lbs, when in reality alot of the women are referring to much less graceful curves that associate themselves with people weighing 200+ pounds. I could work out 3 hours a day 7 days a week and still not look like this chick without a boob job because genetics failed me
The ACA will probably start covering those soon...
Must stay out of political discussion must resist the urge to deride ACA

Curves are good... rolls, not so good? Right? Right.
There's a difference in being healthy & being unhealthy. Slobby, not slobby. Beauty comes in all shapes & sizes. Hell, I wish I had the confidence that women have, who are heavier. It would make things easier, maybe. But women are real no matter what they look like. "Why can't we be friends?"1 -

you might want to revisit your use of the word acceptable that's when the whole issue of shaming starts getting ugly

I'm too grown for this conversation. OP, who cares? Do you, let curvy ladies do them. So annoyed with people that can't let other people have an opinion.4

I must have missed where she said that she didn't allow other people to have an opinion....in fact, I think she even stated that she expected to receive differing opinions.
Where is your anger coming from? Posting about being "too grown for this conversation" seems a bit immature to me, but that is just MY opinion. I have seen some of your other posts and seem to recall you rejecting differing opinions, but perhaps I am wrong. I can't specifically think of which topic it was being discussed so can't offer anything to back that up.0 -

and you just completely missed the part where I said I preferred this body type and these kind of curves...and other people have different preferences...and that real women come in all shapes and sizes.
you have some awesome reading comprehension skills.
and I seriously doubt Michelle Jenneke weighs 115 Lbs...she is athletic and muscular...she weighs quite a bit more than that I'd guess. My wife has a similar body style though she is not a professional athlete so not quite as much muscle...she's about 5'2" and 135....
and yes...i realize the whole curves thing is largely large women fooling themselves or something...but everything isn't such serious *kitten* and really, it's just all silly...so big whoop.0 -

I never said people couldn't have a different opinion. I was opening up a discussion.
I do have a problem with people thinking I have issues with overweight people. Even if I try to clarify my self it is just going to look like I am digging myself in a deeper hole.
My original post was to vent and get something off my chest and have a conversation about it not to offend anybody.

apparently obese people are only okay and acceptable if they are actively trying to change themselves or as you would say 'better themselves and get healthy'?
FA pisses you off why?? because fat people are encouraged to feel good about themselves? to accept themselves? instead of hating themselves as violently and relentlessly as society does? lol okay
I wonder how often you judge and scold a thin person for being lazy and not 'working out' I wonder how concerned about their health you are

Wow, you really took offense to that didn't you. That's amusing considering I was referring to men as a whole that answer these types of posts with images of chicks whom are extremely athletic but have large and curvy T&A. I also find Michelle Jenneke to be extremely sexy and I would **** her in a second however, when this question is asked its because bigger women who weigh upwards of 200+ pounds want to know their still date-able and attractive too. When a guy refers to a 150lbs women as big and curvy this is not helpful seeing as that is relatively thin still and many women would love to achieve that weight goal
ohhh and I appreciate you knocking my reading and comprehension skills, that must be your attempt at showing me what a much bigger person you are than me

Too...grown. Meaning, I've lived long enough to see this stuff people get so upset over doesn't really matter.
Remember back when women were making fun of other women because their butts weren't flat enough?
Or when whole grain was a thing before gluten tap danced on the stage?
You just get tired of the noise already, and realize, I'm too grown for this.

I personal can't stand this reference. To me it just screams FA which I don't agree with at all. Most overweight women want to lose weight. Why not just because society says you should be a certain size but also because they are uncomfortable being the weight that they are.
This whole FA thing seems to me to be a cop out. Well I can't lose weight or exercise so I am going to be fat and have health problems, but that's ok because I love my curves and you have to accept me. NO! I say get off your *kitten* and do something that will improve your health and well being. Weather it be walking a little bit more or eating less. People need to start taking responsibility for their weight. You let your self get into an unhealthy state.
I am sure I am going to get some differing opinions here, but I wanted to share my reasons for rejecting FA and the whole "real women have curves" thing.
I might even get flagged, but i had to get this off my chest.
I also understand there are medical reasons for weight gain. This is not what I am addressing.
as a former big fat person, i agree totally. too many people wanna blame their "condishuns" for being fat instead of taking the blame and putting in the work and changing themselves. Plus I hate how they take up so much space on their beetus-wagons at WalMart.
I hate most of them. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste their stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
LMAO!!! ...I just cant...0 -
I've seen a few hostile posts on this forum (not just this thread) referencing the FA movement as if there's this huge contingent of people out there refusing to lose weight and actively promoting obesity. I mean honestly, how many of these people are you possibly interacting with that you are this incensed about it? Even if an overweight person really is like, "eff it, I'm just gonna stay this way", why does that bother someone else? Because of the nanofraction of a penny that it could make your insurance go up?
I would imagine most people are promoting self-love which is not mutually exclusive to wanting to get healthier and lose weight. I don't think that finding ways to not hate yourself, at whatever size, is a cop-out. Weight loss isn't the solution to a lifetime of happiness.2
