why the weight thing makes me crazy

[quietann]

In today's Globe, there was an article about (a) people trying to get a date by offering a Red Sox playoff ticket, and (b) people trying to get a Red Sox playoff ticket by offering themselves as a date. One of the people in category (b) was a woman who described herself as "5' 9" and 145 pounds". That's crass enough, but one of the guys who replied to her ad said he wouldn't consider her as a date until she lost 25 pounds!

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

(and yes, I know guys like that are idiots, but...)

Idiots more because they have *NO* idea what they're talking about.
5'9" and 145 is on the skinny side. People just don't realize that the taller you are, the heavier you will be, and that's just the way bones work.
Losing 25 lbs would make her weigh less than I do, while being 3 inches taller, and that's just not a good idea.

oh yeah. And how much do you want to bet that he'd also expect her to have at least C-cup breasts, too?

[dancingdeer.livejournal.com]

What?? C cups are far too small. At least D, to match her taller frame. yeah. I forgot to consider breast weight in that, too.

No, no, she can't have icky heavy breasts. Don't you know large breasts are full of yucky fat? The answer is helium implants: D cups without all that disgusting added weight.

PS On other subjects...I went to ManRay once. It was too smoky for me, but aside of that I had a good time, and I was not the largest girl there.
