Well, that is interesting what is cosidered 'average' today. I am about 10-12 pounds overweight however knowing that most people are overweight, would that make me average?

I am by no means skinny but not fat either... I admit having a few extra pounds, but nothing that I cant take care of within a few weeks :)

Meh, A few extra pounds means that you look at what your weight is supposed to be and you are maybe 5-15 pounds overweight. It's sad really that people are so blind to their obesity. At least the Big Beached Whales are honest compared to the few extra pounders who weight 200 pounds at 5'4''.

This is america, give the fatties a chance too... they can be really fun to be around, and you don't have to sleep with her to have a good night out :)

Just watch out for the ones that sound down on themselves, they'll be trouble.

WTF, are you 4 feet tall?

No, but each one of them is allocated in my beer belly, making me look fatter than I really am.

Dude-that's no joke. I was in Vegas a few weeks ago, and there was a BBW conference going on at the Stardust. These women were not Kirstie Alley* big, they were Discovery Channel Big. Like Orca fat. Straining the crap outta their little electric scooter things. Fvcking disgusting.



*Edited for clarification-we're talking Fat Actress Kirstie Alley, not the current and very hittable Kirstie Alley :D

Time for a new BBW analogy. Kirstie Alley is looking much better these days.
