It is an empty bag of skin and bones perambulating around on bony little legs with knees wider than thighs! Hardly a sight to make grown men drool!!!!
Right either nature or nature argument:
There is three different body types, simplified as fat, thin or muscular, each person can have aspects of all three (i.e.. why one of my best
friends has a little bit of a tummy but has absolutely fantastically toned legs), my mother was short and very slim, my father has and still is muscular but also very tall, I ended up being tall, slim but still muscular. ("I am not skinny, I'm just small boned...")
Or, I did ballet from until early age and had to give up when I was 14 after I broke my arm badly in gymnastics. However continued numerous other sports into university age. I swim every day and have done for the last ten years, eat probably more than anyone else here (I mean, obviously not pies everyday or anything overly unhealthy, but I look after my body, and I'd be very worried if I wasn't regular), gym every second day (usually for a class) and play for the university netball team.
You presume to tell me that I must be a bag of bones because I'm usually a size 6 and quite tall, and I'm the one that is narrow minded?! I'm never ill or anything like that and I love my body, which is more than I can say for a lot of my friends my age. And of course my thighs are bigger than my knees (which is a sign of muscle being eating away by the body for nutrient, which is either caused bad dieting and/or over exercising, i.e.. usually an eating disorder) and believe it or not, I still am curvy for my size, so I still have ass, boobs and a waist, and my fiancé calls me Tiny and loves my shape. I am not bony whatsoever, okay the top of my hip sticks out a lil' but I'm not skeletal.
And yes, I may have misunderstood the previous point, and it would be nice if shops went by the same general sizing, as it's something to do with women not buying something as it wasn't their ideal size, so the company would make the sizing bigger to increase confidence and thus their profit, as apparently, women get hung up on what size they are, so if they fitted into a size 10, they'd be more chance they would buy it than if they had to get a size 12.
Also, height generally is accepted by the scientific community to be increasing with each generation, obviously not going to be so in ALL cases, if you want to check that you could probably find numerous reports into that in New-scientist, even BBC news etc, while you're there, you'll probably notice numerous reports into the nations health and also the hundreds of reports into why we are all getting fatter, because as a nation we ARE getting fatter, no point denying it.
All in all, I now realise that people generally get hacked off when "toothpicks" complain, so it's not just fattism that's a problem in this country either.
Some of my friends have said they're jealous of my height etc. and they even say they wished they were a lot thinner (er, they're only size 8-12), which I think is silly, afterall, sure you might look like a model/actress/heiress who's half way there to starving herself to death, but you also get a lot of flack from everyone else who gets the luxury of being normal.
