Of course. 2 thumbs up is what a man must give a lady who makes his day. It would be my duty and resposibility to give a lady 2 thumbs up for showing up like that. But some people receive bitterness because they are in shape and look good.

The wardrobe malfunction itself was definitely hilarious, and I can totally appreciate why men wouldn't say anything. I was just mad because not one of those women bothered to pull me aside and tell me; I could retained some dignity by running out and buying something else, or at least begged a cardi off of one someone.

I like donuts and takeout too, but eating that stuff during a work day (EVERY DAY???) affected my body chemistry and made me feel like crap...tired, groggy and unproductive (and cost $$$$$$$)...so I declined. That made her even more hostile.
I think a lot of people who are jealous want to drag you down to their level. They want you to eat the junk like they do and be a inactive person to make themselves feel better. Its a shame. Instead of looking at someone who takes their fitness and health into consideration and maybe find inspiration to workout or become more conscious of what they what they eat, they would rather mock and criticize your healthy choices.

Yeah. I have heard people comment on fit people in a way that is stupid. They see someone in great shape and automatically accuse them of spending ridiculous amounts of time in the gym. I mean that they think those people spend half of their day in the gym in order to be like that.

Generally speaking I do not make comments about anyone's weight unless they call attention to their "new behaviors." I'll congratulate them on their progress if it feels like they want me to.

Sadly, I have wanted to exercise and lose weight with my sister, but she has declined because she is worried about things becoming a "competition!" Her and I have never competed at anything, but I think she has some leftover resentfulness about something from childhood, as her and I were often compared in school.

One of my friends has become a bootcamp addict in the past couple of years, and she has become a lot fitter. It seems to have impacted our friendship a bit, and we haven't quite figured out what the problem is. In some ways we don't fit into her "new lifestyle." So we struggle a bit more to find stuff to do together. (I.e. she is likely to do a Warrior Dash, and I don't like to get dirty.) I am trying to convince her to get a bike so we can ride together and it will give us a cheap activity to do together.

This "provocative" thing happens if you have the wrong "body shape" things just look more proactive, or are perceived that way, if you have certain types of figures. Example: if a slim, ruler shaped woman wears a short dress and boots it is usually ok. Put that same outfit on someone who looks like let's say Nicki Minaj, and it becomes to provocative.

Ignore them. [/thread]

My sister got a call that my niece (13) is wearing inappropriate clothes at school.

My sister said "she is wearing the same clothes her older sister (15) wore two years ago!"

The older niece just has a very innocent look to her, while the younger one looks too sexy in the same clothes.

Funny, isn't it?
