OK, mean....but funny.

I agree with the other poster who prefers ladies who are feminine, meaning curvy and shapely. Sticks are icky.

But I just can't stand it when people hide behind euphemisms because they can't own their condition. Not "fat", but "heavy" for example.

I'm fat. I'm fat because I eat too much and don't move enough. But I'd never tell someone I'm "heavy" or "big boned" or blame it on genes or glands or whatever else.

Just one of those things that bugs me.

I agree with the other poster too, but there's a 'huge' difference between the photo posted above (a curvy, feminine woman) and someone like E. Edwards, who's just chunky and unappealing.

big boned

I can't remember what comedian said it, but he had a joke about a friend of his wife. His wife said her friend wasn't fat, but big boned. He responded, "I've never seen bone jiggle like that."

I'm fat too, a life long problem. But I'm also big boned, or just dense or something. I've got pictures of me at 200 lbs (and 5'11") in which I look like a stick. That was right at the allowable maximum for the Air Force, yet the Air Force doctor who did my physical at the time said I should not try to lose anymore weight.
