size o? disgusting?

Question

louis redknapp is a doll,when she done that diet on the box last nite she looked ill.girls dont do it 8 10 12 14 even 16 is ok. any other red blooded guys feel the same

Answer 1

It's so stupid how women think that every bloke wants a skinny bird. It's so not true. I have mates that like thin women & mates that like bigger women. I would say about 50/50.

Answer 2

Keep up the good work!
I think if more of you guys spoke up then it might stop some of the girls out there from thinking it's the only way to be seen as beautiful! It's anything but!!!! Unless you're 10 years old!
Louise ended up looking ill and I saw another similar program where the person doing it didn't get down to that size but was made to stop because she WAS ill!
I'm only 4ft 9ins tall and have never been smaller than a size 8 till now! I'm about mid way between 6 & 8. I lost weight due to ill-health and eat a normal 2000+ calories and I'm not looking anorexically thin but I'm thin not slim, so I find it hard to believe that anyone taller can be healthy at a UK size 4(USA 0).

Answer 3

Yes, absolutely. I read in a newspaper that Asda is about to start selling size 0 clothes for women and the waist measurement is the same as that of a six year old girl - how irresponsible can you get??? It's repulsive and looks pathetic. Surely size 10 at the smallest is healthily slim enough for anyone!

Also, it's great to hear a guy being against this sort of thing and lovely that you even find size 16 acceptable when some d*ckheads won't actually go out with a girl if she's over size 10.

I think curvy hips, shapely legs, round bums and big boobs are far sexier and much more feminine than a head stuck on a rake handle any day!

Answer 4

Went to Asda last night with my size 8 13 yr old daughter. She clocked the size 4 clothing (size 0 in the USA) & she wanted to try on this certain top.... I knew it wouldn't fit her as she's a 34B/C so I said we hadn't really the time for her to queue up & try it on. What I did do though was to take the top to the childrens clothing section & measure it against a girls top aged 8/9 & it was the same & it also measured the same as a boys aged 7/8! The penny might have dropped then I thought...... She then reminded me that Sticktoria Beckham was a UK size 4 & that meant that she could fit into the same aged 8/9 jeans - so I reminded her that having etch-a-sketch legs wasn't really a good look & that her husband David trouser snake Beckham cheats on Sticktoria with a woman with some meat on her bones!
So, thank you for bringing this up, it would be stars all around from me.
I am considered HUGE now, as I take a size 14 well a size 16 on top because of my 38D front bumpers getting in the way of buttons on a shirt. I measure 38-27-38, my husband says I have an hourglass figure but the likes of HEAT magazine call me OBESE
A massive applaud from me & I guess many other mothers with impressionable teenage girls.
It's a shame more men don't speak out about this!

Answer 5

It is all to do with your make up and bone structure. Louise looked relatively smalled framed anyway, so for her going to a size UK Size 4 or size zero US from a size 8 was not a Hugh jump for her. But it was the way she had to do it that was the problem; it was fast; it was cruel; and it was relentless and surreal.

I think it was the combination of both the dieting and exercises that caused her to become ill so quickly as most anorexics starve themselves of food and cannot exercises because they do not have the stamina.

She was a brave lady to agree to undertake what must have been a very distressing and hard regime for her to follow so she could get her message across to those young women and girls who feel the need to be a size Zero.

I have a friend who has always been a size 6; is never ill is fit as a fiddle and enjoys her food and I also have another friend who is well over 15 stone is never ill is fit and happy but does not eat anywhere the same amount of food as my other friend does.

Strange old life.

Answer 6

Few people seem to give a thought to the naturally thin girls, the size 4s or 6s (yes it does happen naturally, if you're 5ft2 and small-boned, a size 6 is perfectly healthy) who feel utter despair at their lack of breasts and hips. Who rush out for plastic surgery catalogues, despair at the lack of advice for those who want to put on weight and become the curvy "ideal" which is actually far more revered in mainstream culture than the size 0 (who I've never heard anyone at all say looked attractive, for all the curve-champions think they're so revolutionary) Insulting the fat is seen as beyond the pale, insulting the skinny is almost seen as legitimate - after all they deserve it for being so thin don't they? They MUST be anorexic and setting a bad example?

Answer 7

I feel sorry for the people who are naturally really underweight. They get harassed on a daily basis and told that they are ugly yet some can't help the fact. I don't think that any size is unattractive as I try to base my opinion on how much I get on with the person. I have had girlfriends who are size 18 and size 6 but I never really found any of them unattractive. I think that people have to get past what a person looks like on the outside or you will have thin people desperately trying to put on weight and fat people trying to lose it. Why not be happy with yourself no matter what and leave the judging for someone else?

Answer 8

I have some workmates who would be described as a size 0. They can't put on weight and have both tried. They eat chocolate like I wouldn't dare and never gain an ounce. I'm the opposite, I love salad and have probably had more lettuce this week (with even more still in the fridge) than most people eat in a year and yet am currently almost 22 stones.

At least I know what part of my problem is, I have a hormonal condition called PCOS but it doesn't stop the stares and the comments, same as it doesn't stop the stares and the comments with my colleagues.

Can't we start 'judging' a person by who they are not what they look like?

Answer 9

I trained many years ago as a dancer in my 20's & I trained daily with young woman of all sizes & body shapes. We all have a natural body shape & a natural body type, if a young woman is just naturally skinny then you can see that, you can tell if that's her normal shape (well I think I can?).

Personally I dont find ultra stick thin young woman or anyone stick thin attractive. If anything its abit shocking if its NOT a persons normal body size & shape.

I was incredibly impressed by Louis Rednapp sheer bravery in trying to do the extreme dieting in order to reach a size zero.

Answer 10

I'm going to disagree with the majority here. Having worked in the fashion industry (not as a model but as a fashion assistant), I can say that nearly 80% of the models I've seen, chatted to etc DON'T have eating disorders like a lot of people think they do. Yes, about 20% admit they do, but most models are naturally thin.

I think there's nothing wrong with being a size 0 if that's what you want. You can't blame models or the fashion industry for eating disorders in young girls. That's not fair. These models are just doing their jobs. Fashion magazines are just doing what sells, or everyone would be out of a job. If having a larger woman on the cover of a magazine would sell lots of copies, why don't they do it then? The answer is because it wouldn't sell well, that's why they don't.

The problem with this "whole trend" is people themselves. We like to buy into the skinny side of things, we like reading about celebrities who have lost weight on amazing diets. There are no "Congratulations! You've put on weight!" conversations ever are there?

Yes we live in a terrible society, but US, WE people have created it. Stop moaning about the media, because YOU buy into it, which is why they won't stop covering skinny models.

Get it now?

Answer 11

Im a size 12 and I would like to be a size 10!!! I think your right unnatural size 0 is horrible!
