The guy is such a jerk

[nukes524]

Wow. This used to be a decent show. And what the fuck is normal? Who gets to decide what normal is? This is not an 'obsession'--this is a reality. People are different, and what is normal for you is obviously NOT what is normal for the rest of us. Terrible people. That's what you all are. Just terrible, judgmental, unattractive people.

those women arent even real plus sized women, they are size 14/16 which is actually average, of coarse it isnt in the high end industry. i think that the media had either consciousl yor subconciously gotten ppl to think that being thick or "chunky" is not attractive. when u r n a society when thin or "athletic" is pushed in ur face, then of coarse ur gunna think its beautiful. there r othr countries that value bigger women bcus that was what their society said was beautiful

[sunshinehart22]

@Ubanga33 - You're right. I've completely seen the error of my ways. Shame on me.

[Ubanga33]

@brianstsh No, it's not society telling me what is beautiful, it's my own eyes. And myself, like most men and women, prefer people who are in shape and healthy, not overweight. Fat models are not more naturally beautiful, they are overweight. But hey, it's perfectly fine if some of you guys are chubby chasers, I won't criticize. Some guys like midgets, tattooed women, amputees, etc. Why not fat chicks? It's fine. But the fact is that most people prefer healthy in shape partners.

[Ubanga33]

@sunshinehart22 No, your bubble is burst. The majority of men prefer women who are in shape and healthy. Not overweight.. That's why fashion industries show women who are slim and in shape. If the majority of men and women preferred overweight women,that's what the fashion industry would show. Simple, objective business common sense. I've been a fashion photographer for over 30 years and heard it all. Fat, short, or tattooed models are not in demand.

@towdow3 - now THAT sounds like a good idea! :)

[sunshinehart22]

@killerchipmunkattack - damn, hit the wrong button on this reply... wanted a thumbs down. anyway... yes, you can say it, however there's a more civilized way to express your opinion than calling someone ugly - that's when it tends to offend people.

[sunshinehart22]

@amyntut - that and way back when, it was actually considered (more) beautiful and exotic to be what we now call 'plus sized'

[sunshinehart22]

It'd be nice if they actually made any of those clothes for sale. I swear most plus-sized fashion looks like little old lady's clothes and it's freaking expensive to boot. So I can either make my own/alter them to fit my personal size and taste or buy them so they hang on me like a damn paper bag. Those models are gorgeous, but there were quite a few I'd hardly call plus size.

[sunshinehart22]

@Ubanga33 - hate to burst your bubble, but that's not entirely true. The bottom line is people like what they like, plain and simple and I've been with guys who don't care if the girl is thin or chubby. I've actually been with guys who prefer my size (somewhere between 'normal' and 'plus'), then others don't want anything to do with me. it's all in personal taste preference. and fyi, if you're as big a jerk on real life as you come off online, then trust me, we don't want you anyway.

Funny to read all the loser men defending fat chicks. The only women you guys can get are fat so you defend them and take it personally. You can have them. ha ha. Just be sure to bring home the pizza and soda pop ! -
