Big Woemen vs Small Women

cock robin

Just wondering what peoples opinions on this are. Lately Ive noticed some rather delicious plus size women. Well dressed and rather sexy. Or maybe I shoulda gone to spec savers.

Another thread about this? I think the general consensus (?) is 'different strokes for different folks'

Should have gone to the search function.

And indeed, different strokes for different folks. And do a poll next time too (but not this time)

Now c'mon. It wouldn't be a fair fight whatsoever.

All women fall into two categories:

6 foot+ tall and 250lbs+

or

5 foot tall and 75 lbs

Gee, which will I plump for? Such a compelling thread. I think I'll go and vote for a black Taoiseach instead. Or 6th to go the full distance. :rolleyes:

I will soon have my thread with poll up about "do you take sugar in your tea"

I think it will be a big hit!

Coffee and Tea forum, It's probably being asked.

Start more threads though Rob, I like your work.

Small Woman - Eva Longoria

Big Woman - Scarlett Johannson

Personally I'd nail them both, together preferably...

In fairness to la French, while she wouldn't exactly be my ideal woman, I wouldn't exactly throw her out of bed for eating biscuits (which is probably just as well, as she probably would insist on eating biscuits!)

dr.bollocko

Hell I'd bring her the biscuits. If I was single and she was caring. I bet she knocks out a mean fry too.

Well consider this; there are a lot more plus sized men than plus sized women in this country according to a recent study.

And according to a recent study, about a third of Brits think Churchill was a myth. Clearly not the case :rolleyes:

So? You mean the stupidity displayed in one study negates all studies? :rolleyes:

Adam

No, clearly that's not what I mean. My point is studies don't really mean very much, when you've got a country of 4 million + and you use three, or ten or even fifty thousand. Congratulations, you now have figures for less than 1/80th of the population...

Not that I was interested in a debate on the matter, but if you insist on asking!

I think this study is a little more reliable than a bunch of uneducated Brits:

Irish Adults (18-64 years):
• Two out of five Irish adults - 39% (46% of men; 33% of women) are overweight
• One in five - 18% (20% of men; 16% of women) is obese.The trend towards obesity in Ireland is increasing. Since 1990 the prevalence of obesity has increased by 67% overall, up 1.25 fold in women (from 13%) and up 2.5 fold in men (from 8%)
• Ireland has the fourth highest prevalence of overweight and obesity in men in the EU and the seventh highest prevalence among women

What makes it more reliable? The fact that there are lots of fancy numbers?

My point was clearly lost on you...

And your assumption that the Brits surveyed were uneducated is silly. If the survey was interested in the facts they would not have solely surveyed uneducated people. I like your conclusion though. It's random.

:rolleyes:

Seems like someone is a little miffed at the survey !!

Whats your source on the Churchill one or did you just make that up in your own head?

Adam

Nope, wrong again! Just "miffed" now that once you've realised the error of your ways you've decided the best plan of action is to simply claim I'm somehow angry at the survey!

I think you need to go back to school then. 23% does not equate to 1/3.

Adam

That's right, well done. My apologies for being forgetful.

You're skipping my point entirely though so kthxluvubye!

I think Specsavers applies to you...
Scarlett Johansson is 5'4" and quite petite. Eva Longoria is 5'2" and very petite. The only large difference is their chest size. If that makes her a big woman then you need some help

Not really, 33% I might have struggled with, but 23% of Brits thinking Churchill was a myth; plausible.

I think it's laughable, so I laughed. I'm not going to waste my time arguing whether or not it's plausible that 1 in 4 Brits think Churchill is a myth, as it's just opinion vs. opinioin, there can be no winner.

A fair percentage of Britain were alive during his time in office! That's like asking the Irish, do you think Éamon de Valera is a myth? An equally ridiculous notion.

So here endeth the lesson.

No matter how much you try to suggest otherwise, it is possible that 1/4 think he was a myth. Many may have been alive during his time in office, but probably more than likely, many more weren't.

Besides, we don't know what age group were surveyed here. Perhaps that has skewed this figure.

We do know that in the results I gave on obesity and overweight men/women in Ireland, that it was an 18 to 64 age group. Pretty representative IMO.

de Valera is a myth though... isn't he? Next you're gonna tell me Bill Bailey is real I suppose

Adam

It is possible to believe that 1 in 4 of those surveyed think he is a myth!

But that those 3000 can represent the entire country is foolish to assume. And that was my point. Surveys don't stand for for much unless a large percentage of the population is accounted for and that a fair and relative number of people from different backgrounds are taken into account.

I could survey 3000 travellers and then claim that 90% of Irish are illiterate (not to be taken literally, merely a scarcastic example!), or survey 3000 Dublin City homeless junkies and conclude that our country carries the lowest levels of obesity in the EU. See what I'm saying yet?

But a large percentage was surveyed here, so you've just discounted your own point

See now that's just downright stupid.

Number of people surveyed: 3,000

Population of Britain: 60,000,000 +

Relative percentage of population surveyed: 0.05%

Then what are you doing using this as comparative? The obesity study is done as part of the CSO office. I don't know the exact figures, but I'd estimate it to be a lot more than 3,000 people. Their figures are always based on a large number of the population.

Adam

You've taken this from attacking my original sarcastic statement, to losing an argument, and you're still digging? When you don't even know the exact figures surveyed? I'm stepping out here, this is clearly like banging my head off a brick wall.

Do you understand anything about statistics or random sampling?

Adam

Why yes, yes I do. And in noting your moderation of the maths forum, I would like to point out your own use of the word random. Ergo, mathematics cannot solidly be applied.

In conclusion, if you survey 3,000 out of 60 million and give me a conclusion from that regarding something as ridiculous as believing Churchill is a myth, I'm going to lol in your face.

Well the CSO would disagree with you there. Based on your previous post (#33, I think), you haven't an iota about statistics. I guess all the hundreds of years of work that's gone into the science of statistics has all been in vain. :rolleyes:

Using Scarlett Johansson as an example of a woman who's "big" is an indication of how distorted our views on size have become.

And the guy who only goes for size 8 to 10 women: you even KNOW what that means? And you know it means no curves?

Tell me, are you a fan of Judy Garland too...?
