You started the thread!

I dont really think its fair to use Paula as an example, but if you insist then I would have stressed that my opinion was held by me and that someone elses opinion was respected but I disagreed. It wouldn't have swayed my opinion.

As it happens, most people that met Paula thought she was hawt but not everybody did. Its to be expected.

I really don't understand why other people's opinions on something thats clearly as subjective as this get people so riled. I could brand the woman that sparked all this off as a fat, minging heffa. It would be my opinion and you could disagree if you liked but so what?

I really dont find Asian women attractive (by and large). Is this any different to me not liking obese women (no relation to the Miss England hopeful, just throwing it in there) or stick-thin women?

Is my opinion more relevant because I can express it properly rather than branding her a minger? Is that elitist on your part for disregarding the opinions of the less educated? See what I mean?

I'm too busy eating this ENORMOUS dark chocolate Thorntons easter egg to even wave my (obviously obese) size 12 bottom in their general direction.

Roberta, if I gave you £20, would you paint yourself green and dress up as Grotbags for me ?

Personally I don't find her at all attractive but that's because I simply do not find larger women attractive. I also don't find stick thin women attractive, I like curves. I realise that there are a lot of men out there who like larger women (one of my mates won't go out with a woman unless she is size 16+) and that's what makes humans great. Regardless of your size, colour & looks there will be someone out there who will want to do naughty things with you.

Callling someone a "fat pig" is simply never acceptable whether they are a man or a woman. OcUK has a high proportion of male members but I bet if Mr UK has a beer belly and was posted up on a forum with a high proportion of female members a lot of the comments would be the same but with the gender roles reversed.

I just summed up my opinion over there with this post:

Has anyone seen that ad on the TV for one of those plus-size catalogues? Most of the women featured in that advert are "larger than average" and are absolutely stunning. There was a Dove advert on a while back which also had some larger-than-average ladies, the majority of which were really attractive "despite" their size.

Attractiveness cannot be measured by dress size or scales. In my opinion, the woman in the OP isnt attractive, but it has little to do with her size.
Thats what I think.

I think if people used a bit of tact there wouldn't be a problem. Iif people had simply said that they don't find her attractive because they prefer a slimmer figure then it might not have been so bad. To run around saying she's a fat minger is a bit harsh. I don't see her as fat. She's obviously a fuller figure than your average size 0 or nuts mag girlie but not "fat".

As for Asians... *giggidy*

Ok, lets agree to disagree.

Fair enough, some people think she is minging. Some would hit it etc. But I think its great she has so much confidence to do this, even though there will be some obvious backlash.

She is an inspiration to womenkind everywhere. As is Gok Wan
