Why is it acceptable to be fat in Ireland?

slum dog · 2012-04-07 15:42:17

I was out last Wednesday night and I noticed a lot of very overweight women were wearing tight dresses and dolled up in fake tan. It was obvious they were heavy drinkers with the puffy faces on them. Why do some Irish women not care about their appearance? Its like they know they're fat but they don't want to admit it out…

In Eastern Europe it is most definitely not acceptable for a woman to be fat.

And recently in an airport, I overheard a conversation between two European guys, not sure exactly where from, where one was telling the other how bluntly he told his female friend that she was fat and she would be laughed at when she got back to her hometown, wherever that was.

Do you speak Polish or Russian ?

Raar!

I'd say fatness is pretty much equal between the sexes.

It is fairly equal....

... but only fat women think its ok the stick on tiny outfits and flaunt around like they're the cadbury caramel bunny
