like a good steak ,nothing wrong with a little marbling
m.m looks great in those pics...she would be considered skinny by maine standards
she looks like one of my fav actresses...ashley judd here
at what point is a woman considered too big?? well, a good maine woman provides warmth in the winter and shade in the summer.. she's probly too big if she rolls over and knocks the wind out of a guy
That's just it. Why is it okay to say she's "fat and gross" but if someone says the same thing to someone who IS fat and gross people get all upset? Is it because she's actually beautiful (with small waist and flat stomach) and people are jealous? I'll say the same "oh, she's fat and gross" about Adele, or any generic fat picture posted here and people are all like "oh that is horrible to say" and "that is extremely rude for you to say that". Cracks me up.
Kim K = Not fat. definitely not gross.
Rebel whats-her-name, Adele, the Judd chick = Fat. Gross.

Because Kim K is less likable than Adele. It isn't ok to call anyone a fat a, but people are generally more approving of rude names if it is someone they don't like or respect.
This is a question mainly for the guys but women can answer as well. Nowadays there seems to be a really skewed idea of what is and is not "fat" and I'm curious what people think.
Take the lovely Marilyn Monroe:
Certainly, by today's standards she'd be considered "plus sized" and lots of men would view her as fat. Yet at the time she was considered by most to be the epitome of beauty and very few men would have considered her "fat". It truly is amazing how times have changed.
At least two of the photos you posted are stretched so Marilyn looks wider. And ideas of "fat" go in and out of style every decade. The "Flapper Girls" body style that preceded Marilyn Monroe and other voluptuous pin up girls was very thin, and considered the ideal of their time. The 60's Twiggy who was also very thin preceded Anna Nicole Smith as the "Guess Girl" who was somewhat voluptuous and considered the ideal of her time. Then Kate Moss, the Supermodels, etc.
It's whatever idiot in charge of the fashion world at that time deems important as to what is considered "fat". If you care.

I didn't underline ASS for no reason. Her ASS is fat and gross. Not her face, not her torso, not her legs. Her ASS.
Marilyn Monroe was not that big. The idea that she was a size 16 is a recent myth...you can blame Roseanne Barr for that. Marilyn Monroe was 5'5" and her weight ranged between 118 and 140. Marilyn Monroe real dress size, measurements, weight? really size 16? So maybe she wasn't stick thin like the current ideal, but she was not plus-sized.
Oh, swell, another fat bashing thread. Don't you guys ever come out of your mothers' basements?

In other words: It's OK if you belittle someone based on appearance, but not OK if someone else does it.
