My knees are messed up because my hip got bent in a car accident as a kid and a football injury made it worse. I should be 6'3" or 6'4". My doctor said they could fix it, but I'd be walking around in braces like Forrest Gump for at least a year. I declined.
Yeah that does not sound fun at all! Sorry to hear man; you're stuck being a manlet like me. :grinning:

This is literally the most ignorant and degrading forum I have ever wasted my time reading. Its so infuriating and incredibly sad.

I am a 20 year old woman. I am 5 foot 5 inches and currently weigh 158 lbs. My weight fluctuates from my lowest of 133 to my highest of 162.

I've battled an eating disorder for over 5 years and last year struggled the worst. Literally starving my body to death, the lowest weight I could get to was 136. And whats sad is that a lot of you would still consider that "fat". Ignorant.

I was way too skinny at 133-136. I was malnourished and all curves were gone. Doctors and family confirmed that I was unhealthy and underweight for ME. After months of hospitalization and rehab, I am in recovery and weigh a higher weight and let me tell you, I look so much better at 158 lbs than at 135. I have curves. I am not all muscle, but I am not all fat either. This weight is a good weight for me. NOT according to my BMI, not according to Hollywood, not according to weight/height ratio. But according to what is proportionate for MY body.

So please realize a few things.

First off, all bodies are different. Different structures, muscle builts, and carry weight differently and in different places. So you cannot go by BMI or what is considered "norm".

Second, the shit you people post is so degrading to women and you should be humiliated to speak that way. Its bullying. And words hurt like hell. Also, if you ever think your going to get a women in your life by talking like that, your mistaken. Enjoy being alone assholes.

Lastly, DON'T JUDGE ANYONE BEFORE YOUR 100% PERFECT. Because you are not. I promise. Don't relay negative energy unto the universe. I am a firm believer that how you treat others will be reflected back to you. Remember that. And don't be fucking ignorant.

P.s. Here are some pics of me at different weights (133, 145, and 161) and you tell me which pictures I look better in. I guarentee you'll think its at my highest weight. Oh, and thats the weight that is considered as being "a fat bitch" right? Hm, maybe you should rethink that..

Yes, a 5 foot 5 inch, 165 pound chick would be extremely huge. Chicks are baby birds, and usually weigh a few ounces to a few pounds (really large species) at most.

But when referring to a person, that height and weight is not fat. It's a pretty healthy average, actually.

Ease back Ripley. You aren't going to change the internet by ranting at random internet people or posting broken links to your gmail account.

Plus they're raging at people that may not have even been here in seven years.

On the off chance that classickk is a real person and not a troll.... Lots of people here are assholes that lead sad and pathetic lives. Lots of us are not assholes. We still lead sad and pathetic lives, but we are usually pretty nice to one another.

And not everyone posts in every thread. For example, most of this thread is filled with the assholes.

Okay I am a real person and I'' just trying to make a point. If someone can explain how I can upload pictures correctly, I would gladly. Not a troll. I never go on stuff like this or engage in these arguments. But I am a recovering Diabulimic and felt insecure so I looked up my height/weight and this popped up. It was either get horribly hurt by the comments and relapse or speak my peace. So thats what I did. Idk how to upload the pics so if someone can help me I'll upload them.

And I applogize to anyone I offended. Some people that have posted on here have said some degrading comments and thats all I'm reffuring to. I just think the world needs to be more educated about this.

Oh don't worry about offending anyone around here. There's really two options:

1: They are too stupid to be offended.
2: They deserved it.

:D

I'd like to say I was happy to see AT threads cropping up on google search results, just unfortunate that this was one of 'em. The biggest hurdle with acceptance of personal physical form (no matter what that may be) is to learn to disregard every other person first, and go from there. There will always be individuals who have opinions who follow this thread. I'm sure once we've ascended to pure energy, there'll still be some cockgobbler with an opinion about who's got the best incorporeal phalanges.

Also this. Most of those who frequent this forum have skin made of some kind of unobtainium alloy. P&N is a different story though, buncha paper mache' dolls masquerading as people in there.

Hey, noob. Now that you're a member, perhaps I can interest you in the babe thread over in Love & Relationships forum. I haven't checked it in months but it seems to be a repository of swollen, thick-figured females. Apparently, some people find them attractive or they wouldn't post such pics to that thread. A surefire self-esteem booster if you ask me.

Pics aren't posting. I agree with your rant, btw and I have a great deal of sympathy for women who struggle with eating disorders. And only real men can handle curves.

I've posted what I think. I don't think that weight = fat, but it kinda depends on the persons body. BTW, your pics are not loading.

BMI and anything else that is based only on heigth and weight are severe approximations that don't work for everybody, there are more accurate measurements of body fat % which are more useful since they discriminate muscle and fat.

Anyway people are finding this thread because those measurements lead to this as the second result.
Google image shows women of these measures are soft but not all of them are obese really.

Skipping through the pages of the thread I didn't see anything particularly offensive except people answering yes.
