Why do so many women on here keep asking if they're fat?
This is something that I found pretty disturbing, to be honest. Why are the women not asking for good, sound health advice instead of this silly "am I fat?" question? Also, where are the women who lift weights, like I do? It's great for your metabolism and bone health.
The disproportionate amount of women asking the question is more concerning than anything. I should have clarified that.

The reason thet ask if they are fat is because of the image that Hollywood has created. You look at actresses like Angelina or Charlize or Gweneth and the men are just staring at them. Then women get something like a man's "inferiority complex" and feel like to get a man or keep their man they have to look like those actresses. Other than that maybe its for attention, a question to hear good praise about themselves even though they know that they are not fat so they will feel good. Thats my opinion.

The American media has made women in this country very self-concious about their weight, and the fact that the majority of designers use only very slender (remember "heroin chic"?) models hasn't helped. Truth is, if you ask most men, we like a woman whose bones aren't sticking out; they just feel nicer.
