An extremely loose guideline suggests allowing 100 lbs for 5'0" tall, and in women, another 5 lbs for each additional inch of height (men are spotted 10 lbs for each additional inch). Now, this system rightly is criticized because it doesn't allow for extremely large or small bones or much muscular development. I don't think this is very true. It doesn't fit me and I am certain I'm not fat or overweight or anything (I'm not giving my weight, etc. on ILE).

That's why I qualified it, saying that it's an extremely generous guideline and that it's criticized on these and other grounds. But of course the real problem is the loathing many women (particularly me) have for their bodies.

You don't see my point at all, sorry. Or if you did you could at least take a minute to show me where I'm so wrong since direct contradiction without any evidence has never done much to change my mind, funny that. Why are some physical features that people can be insecure about any different to others? . I realise my use of weird eyes or third nipples as an example was glib, but the question still stands. Just because weight issues affect more people does not mean they are different to any other areas of their body people feel insecure about, or does it? What am I missing? Point still remains that if Vic had been saying the girl was really worried about some other aspect of her body, or something more obscure he wouldn't have had to be quite so careful would he? Nothing to do with importance as far as I can see, it's just because more people have fuckin history on this subject. Pretty obvious as soon as the poor guy started the thread someone was getting offended within an hour or two, regardless of what he said. You're doomed as soon as you start the fucking thread, no amount of caution is enough. God I don't mean to argue all the time or whatever, I don't think what I say is particularly stupid or outrageous but there you go. And if I sound confrontational it's not intentional.

Tell me if what I'm saying is totally different or something but I don't see it, I'm going to presume negative reaction to my posting was due to my shoddy example "weird eyes, or a third nipple". Although that's not really what I think.
Talking about weird nipples and third eyes is even better

The chick who did nasty stuff to you in the dorm room and then made a joke of it is EVIL, as evil a boy who'd do that to a girl. DAMN, this pisses me off. If you heard that some guy did this to a girl friend of yours, what would be your opinion of him? Grrr. Psycho girl.
Your sexuality -- who you fancy -- that's how you are, nothing wrong with it. Plenty of girls like a guy who likes both. Plenty of guys like a guy who likes both.
Both the things above seem to be messing with you like the big time, and if they keep being a problem, you might wanna see a counselor to help you put them in their place.
The girl -- I dunno, if she's that possessive/must be YOUR GIRLFRIEND/needs a boyfriend because her friends have one, I'd go carefully. She sounds more YOUNG than anything else.
Best of luck.

men do this to women as much as women do it too.
i'm really sorry about your experience with the "fat" girl, vic, but i would like to point out to you that it shouldn't matter to you what she looked like, the fact that it happened is bad enough. so calling her a "fat hippo" doesn't help to win you sympathy. i mean i do sympathise with you but... you know what i mean, the fact that she was fat is unimportant, and the fact that you emphasize it makes you look like a bigot. it sounds like you are projecting onto other fat women from your one experience with a woman who just happened to be fat. i suppose its more psychologically complex than i'm giving you credit for though?
are you sure you want a whore, and not a girl that you can respect and be friends with and fuck without things getting emotionally messy? i think there is a difference.
maybe you explained your self for the "whore" comment, but i only skim read through those big posts.

I agree with the first part, but not with the second. Who says everyone likes slim girls?
