What Is Skinny Anyways?



Recommended Posts

I would say that guys worry about this stuff too but we may not dwell on it as much as the ladies. It seems men are much more accepted regardless of how round we are then what women are. It's sad really that image is what most women are judged on first. Men have to overcome image judgement as well but it's no where near what you ladies have to deal with. For us its more about appearing lazy or incapable of completing a task or not able to be competitive in athletics due to heavy weight. I think for women, no definition of skinny will ever be defined. It seems some thin women feel fat and some thick women feel skinny so where to do you even start to make a determination of what skinny is. As long as you're comfortable in your own skin what does it matter what others think. If your healthy and happy that's what matters most. Regardless of how big or small you are, confidence in your appearance is what always seems sexy over actually having a "sexy" body. All of you ladies have chimed in on a women's size. After looking at the pictures gamer so graciously provided us with, I'm curious what the ladies opinion of the perfect size of a man is.

I think I got into this a bit late...

As Maria Muldaur teaches us:

Well, I want a man who's built real fat
Most girls don't like to see 'em like that
But I like to see 'em big and tall
The bigger they come the harder they fall

It ain't the meat it's the motion
That makes your mama wanna rock
It ain't the meat it's the motion
It's the movement it isn't the stock

About 9 inches.

We all know I'm a little bit good with numbers. But apparently men are much better than me at this, because according to most of them, this is 9 inches.

Read it and weep ladies.

But to answer your question seriously, I'd say for men, 20-25% is "normal" or "average" to my eyes. What do you think about what looks "normal" for women?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
