WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

To: Not Everyone Can Be Kate Moss. Not Everyone Enjoys Food Thru a Feeding Tube Either: all I can say is thank god! All this post if filled with is guys who love "anorexic chicks" and girls that are 5'7 and 120lbs that laugh at everyone else because they can stay so thin. Unfortunately not all of us are blessed with this metabolism. I'm so tired of the media shoving thinness in my face. But I find it funny that Asian women complain that they aren't portrayed in the media, but they are much closer to the starved-looking girls in the magazines than anyone I know. They are making the problem worse.

this is to "he he"
so dieiting is only for us ugly white and other non-asian people? maybe you'd like to explain the meteoric rise in anorexia and bulimia rates in non-white countries (INCLUDING Asia!!) yes unfortunately many of you are not perfect (boo freaking hoo) and do have to diet.

hey prada chick,
yes "Funny how you eat so much and still stay thin". you probably puke it up afterwards. you're the kind of person that makes the rest of us feel bad about ourselves. at 5'9 and 118 you are anorexic by medical terms. being a big stick is not attractive

Fitness is one of the BIG things in my life. I'm not a muscle-head, but I am athletic. I really don't see many AF into fitness- and by fitness, I DON'T mean tennis, table tennis, or golf.
Some people are naturally larger than others, but that's okay as long as they work out! That's all I'm asking ladies!!!! Just in case some people might be wondering, I'm not a dumb gym rat. As of now, I'm finishing my second master's degree.

I'd go with Shinya from Luna Sea! Let's be real, the man is cute, especially when he smiles. He's like a giant teddy bear! Too bad he's married. But apart from the fat question, I'd take J over all of 'em. He the tallest & he's not as skinny as the others. In fact, he kinda has some muscle!

Princess,

Just wear 3 inch heels and your problems are solved.

yes, I would prefer a guy with a good looking face who is fat to a guy with an ugly face and a good body. but that's just me.

Girls,

If a guy is fat, but he got a pretty face, good job, fat income and is a nice guy would that still matter?

I prefer fat girls who have pretty faces over the skinny ones who don't.

Dude! I'm 5'4 and I thought I was tall among Asian women ! But it seems like everyone who announced their height here are taller than me ! Hah! I actually am taller than most Asians I see in real life. Maybe girls with really ideal heights likes to appear online. I don't know, but that's cool though.
I want to be about 5'7.
