    It attracted many comment underneath, with many females saying that she "needed more cuves", and was "too skinny"

    Now I realise it is probably photo shopped etc, but do you think she is "too skinny"?

    Is she in need of more "curves"?

    Are these females just jealous and trying to justify their own figure?

    Personally I don't believe she is too skinny or any of that rubbish. I think people often use the excuse that their are curvy instead of facing up to the fact that they are fat.

    jealous big birds I'm afraid.

    Your username needs more curves.

    she actually looks fine :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,676 ✭✭✭strandroad


    She has curves all right - curves are boobs and waist to hips ratio. Not fat rolls as some tend to think.
    She looks mighty fine to me and I am a woman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    her body looks a bit strange tbh. I can't put my finger on why though. It's like her boobs are sitting really low on her chest. She's very slim, but I don't think she's malnourished/too skinny at all.

    That pasta looks undercooked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    She'd do with losing a few alright and I hope all that pasta isnt for her!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    What's the debate here? She looks totally normal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    With slightly less text I would've put this as a spam thread.

    she looks fine. in good shape it seems. and yeah I would say if any girl says she needs more meat on her they're probably jealous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,080 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    I don't understand how the 'curvy or just fat' thread title relates to the 'too skinny' poll!

    She could do with a little more meat IMO and looks a little trashy too. ;)

    Fat women call themselves curvy so the word cannot be used anymore as an adequate description.

    It could be that or it could be all the air brush - who knows

    Can you explain how the thread title and topic are related please OP?? It makes no sense. Is there a debate going on about this woman's weight or what?

    I like fat chicks.

    Any-fucking-who, the chicks looks fine. B!tches need to get over the fact that some dudes dig that, just like guys have pretty much gotten over the fact that chicks dig men that look like they spend every living moment in a gym.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    WTF?

    She has a fine bod

    I think it's that her torso looks very long, like the distance from her pants to her belly button, then to her bra looks awkward and also the little triangle at her right arm looks photoshopped, she's not too skinny nor is she too fat, it prob the posture that makes it slightly abnormal looking

    Slightly OT - but you still owe me a few potatoes on sticks with purple paint on them.

    To clarify,

    Does the girl look normal? (she does to me)

    People seemed to believe she needed more curves. Does she? OR were these people just jealous?

    Do people often claim that they are curvy instead of owning up to the fact that they are just fat? (what title refers to)

    Now I'm intrigued as to how your reproductive system works. Do you grow little Xoxyxs off yourself like potatoes?

    Jealous... :rolleyes:

    Oh wait, you're a man so it's just your opinion... ;)

    I don't think she's too skinny and I think she's curvy (although not voluptuous) but "You're just jealous!" is such a spiteful ad hominem by people who must fancy themselves as mindreaders - sometimes it might be jealousy but on a message-board you really can't tell, nor do you have a clue whether they are fat/unattractive.
    And plenty of women who describe themselves as curvy are curvy, not always fat.

    Nah - I carve the potatoes into my image. I make sure they grow up imitating every step I took in life - I send them to the same schools, dress them in the same clothes, and make little potato friends from them to hang out with which are just like potato versions of my real friends. When they get to the age I am now, they're going to start doing the same thing and - poof - I'm a grandmother.

    Isn't that how everybody does it?? :confused:

    Yeah I know. Just curious as to why you felt the urge to start yet another thread on something that's been debated a million time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,576 ✭✭✭Paddy Cow


    She's not too skinny and looks like she works out. I wouldn't mind having a body like hers but unfortunately I suffer from an illness called lazyitus which means that I can't muster up the energy to go to the gym four times a week :(

    I steal babies, chain them to a radiator and blast grindcore at them 24 / 7 until they're eighteen. We should get together, mesh our ideologies and see what happens, maybe carve some babies into our image or something.

    she looks fine to me. if that photo is real - no photoshopping - then yeah she has an unually good body, slim and toned. it probably is photoshopped and/ or airbrushed as this is no family snapshot. theres only so much photoshop can do though. she isnt too skinny. too skinny means bones abnormally jutting out/showing, sickly pallor, head too big for the skinny bony body, general unhealthy look. she looks healthy. you can be slim and healthy.

    i dont think all women who say she is too skinny are just jealous. but in my experience it is more often than not borne out of jealousy. say im talking to the girls and they say 'shes too bloody skinny...' followed up by 'i wish i looked like that' or something similar.
    some women genuinely do feel bigger curves are healthier looking so its not fair to just say 'youre jealous' to any woman that says 'shes too skinny'

    however i think its unfair that its ok and acceptable that larger, curvier, healthier etc girls can just offhandly say someone else is too skinny.
    when no one can say - in that manner - 'shes too fat' 'shes unhealthily fat'
    i am neither skinny nor fat. im not taking sides here
