Just seen his post. Not the most mature thing for an UB to post in a sensitive thread.

You should edit his post.

Well that makes things more complicated and I think the first thing to do is work out whether you don't like your self because you don't conform to what you think that society expects or whether its a deeper seated reason, if it isn't then listen to your friends rather than your perception of society. If you still want to change and if its doable then do it

The language used by some people over there and how aggressive they were was totally out of order which was my main bugbear. I'm not going to pretend not to feel a bit hurt by their reactions on a personal level because i am, that girl has a million times more confidence than i do and they ripped her apart from an opinion formed on one news article and a bad picture.

Don't be hurt Paula. I used to let things like that get to me, but now I only listen to the opinions of the people that matter. Mainly the lovely people of BD

Because all of their girlfriends are perfect size 6 supermodels yes ?

What a load of tripe !!!

Attitudes like those posted make me sick, they are the reason why sometimes I look in the mirror and want to cry when faced with my lumps and bumps :/

It's bad enough that it makes fat chicks like me feel under confident - but when perfectly slim ladies like Piggy are upset by these comments it's really gone to pot.

Matt I do agree that magazines, the press have a lot to answer for, they are the ones that make these comments spread like wild fire and get people thinking they should act the same. I do think that people should stop buying such magazines but that is never going to happen, the magazines need to stop putting such derogatry images or comments.

To be honest I know it prob has effected alot of woman to feel like they have to change, but when it comes to me I dont think it has, I hate the way that I look, but alot of that has been down to people telling me that i look horrible, fat etc.

I still think that alot of the issues have occured because of boys/men telling females that they should do this, look that way and that we aren't "normal" if we dont comply.

Rich you really don't have anything to worry about, you are such a lovely person and I personally wouldn't change anything about you!

Vix I absolutely agree with your point.

I haven't even bothered reading the thread. Why upset myself over another thread full of comments saying anything over size 8 is a biffer? I give myself a hard enough time as it is, without reading comments made by people I don't know or care about.

However, I agree with the people who say it's more about the attitude rather than peoples' personal taste. I have no problem with people preferring fat/thin/big boobs/little boobs, but to say it in such a way that it's offensive to other people really isn't on. I also appreciate that it goes on behind closed doors all the time and maybe we're more exposed to it because it's a male-dominated forum, but that doesn't stop people getting any less upset when they hear it!

P.S. I'm a size 6 btw
