Does Delta hand you a BODY BAG WHEN YOU TAKE A SCAREBUS MURDERBUS Flight? THEY HAVE 21 on the murderbus A330 that murdered all those people on Air FRANCE 447 murder-flight.

chocolatepuke: That anorexic woman in the shot above might wear a size 0, but it would be baggy on her. That is unless she's 5'9 or above. I'm 5'5, wear a size 2 and I'm nowhere near that skinny. I have DD boobs! And no, my clothes are not too tight.

How you doin'?

vertiaset: Hey young people. There was a time when air travel was glamorous and exclusive. You ate from china, the Stewardesses were all pretty young women. Service was how the airlines competed with one another. Even in coach you had room to stretch out and relax. People dressed up to travel. Men wore suits, women nice dresses. You rarely saw children on flights and when you did they were well behaved and quiet. Poor people didn't fly, they road the bus.

Pretty sure poor people still ride the bus.

Hmmm.

I know a lot of fat people. I have a very hard time believing any woman at size 28 would even WANT to wear that. They know they'd look like a fire truck.

If it's about safety and not being sexy, then why are they complaining they can't have the red dress? It sort of contradicts itself, no? Just wear the other options.

reillan: Wouldn't want a 0 either.

I always thought plus started at 16. Granted, the only women I've ever dated enough to go shopping for clothes with have been 2-8, so I don't really have a comparison...


That size 0 woman is sucking her stomach in and standing in a weird way to accentuate her ribs. Size 0 would be gross on a 6 ft tall girl, but for someone barely over 5 ft it is normal.

orat-on-a-stick: Vanity sizes change every year, but a 52" butt in 1969 is still a 52" butt in 2009.



Quite a bit saggier after 40 years and 6 kids though.

But yeah, BBW should be stricken from the lexicon, complete intellectual dishonesty. Like men are supposed to shrug it off, well she might weigh as much as a Holstein, but man she's a BBW according to her ad.

So should "a few extra pounds". A few means like less than 5. I had a few beers yesterday, did I have 60?

Plus size? That's a good one there. How about large? Say it biatch, you are a large woman, with a gut that holds your tits up, if you can find a bra big enough, and if not, they all kind of sag together so what difference did it make just exactly where the nipple is, just grab a handful of goo, squeeze it around your cock and fark any old fold.

GIS for size 18 (new window)

Yea... 18 is plus sized.

IMHO Delta's doing them a favor. Red only works if your pretty skinny... otherwise you look like either a tomato or a firetruck depending on your body shape.

There's better stuff out there to make an 18+ person look skinnier than red.

That'd be the really poor.

I stopped flying entirely. Between TSA, cramped seats, rude stewardesses, the skimpy meals, fat people with no deodorant bleeding into my seat even in 1st class, it's just too much.

I drive now. I used to hate driving cross country when I was a kid but it was the cramped cars back then. An Expedition makes it comfy and relaxing.

If some enterprising individual could bring back luxury trains and a realistic scheduling system I'd ride it. 2 farking days in Chicago? Whatever, AmCrack.

Love this thread.

(6'2" 185, skinny, no belly male)

Size 6-8 (@5'6) looks juicy to me. But it's been a few weeks. Getting less choosy ;-)

Prefer a 5'2 size 2 though.

Still no gorgor

This is truth.
The chick in the picture was much too skinny, but I've seen many size 0 women that looked really rather normal other than just being very small.

Also that picture saying that size 12 is the men's ideal is ridiculous. The size 8 girl looks much better. I dated one girl who was around a size 4, one that was a 6/7, and another that was an athletic 8/9. Anywhere in that range is just fine with me. Much above that seems to be getting into chunky range.

I ended up shopping with one of my wife's friends one evening. The woman had a tiny waist but huge breasts. I kept getting her a larger size to hold those suckers in!

Such a great night!

In other words, sizes might not work if your tits are huge.

Are we talking health or aesthetics? I'm a size 12, and a BMI of 22. I'm also 5'9"--not a supermodel, but about average.

Or if you are pear-shaped. Anything not perfectly in proportion can knock you up to another size or so.

TopoGigo 2009-07-11 07:07:22 PM  
Am I the only one who thinks the UK size 16 girl looks thinner than the 12? Maybe she's just better proportioned. The size 8 girl looks pretty ideal for most men. I like a bit more fluff on 'em. Maybe a UK 10, I guess, looking at the pictures. I don't like the 12's fatty face.

ciocia [TotalFark] 2009-07-11 07:09:19 PM  
Ouisch: No matter what the size of the flight attendant, there is no reason that her uniform must plunge down below her sternum like that. Other than to tantilize the rich males in first/business class. Personally, I prefer functional uniforms (such as those worn by Southwest staff), so that in case of emergency they're able to dash up and down the aisle to aid passengers.

Fun fact: back in the 1930s, the first "flight attendants" were RNs. They were hired to reassure passengers that even if the planes went down--and people were highly suspicious of airplane travel then--or if you got airsick, etc. a medically competent person could care for you.

otto the bull: The sooner we start publicly shaming lardasses the better off we will be as a society. Unfortunately, here in the Chicago area, fit and trim people are the minority. A few weeks ago, I visited a Culver's restaurant in the suburbs (home of the butterburger) and I swear everyone in there was twice as big as me.

The sooner we start getting rid of people like you, the better off we, as as society, will be

Yeah. I just wanted to keep think about the night. I never understood how the women's clothes were represented with a number while Men used measurements.

My wife has a size 0 and size 12 in the closet, both fit her very well. So yeah it depends on a whole lot of crap.

When the Union Pacific #844 and its retro passenger/baggage cars (26 long, I think) came through town I asked if they offer rides. The answer was no; they do charity rides and stuff like that, but otherwise apparently it's illegal and would "compete" with Amtrak.

Yet we funnel a billion taxpayer dollars into AmTrak every year. Farking ludicrous. I'm guessing the Alaskan railroads are allowed to operate because AmTrak has no presence there.

Alaska's train system kicks ass and makes money.

Well, health and aesthetics tend to follow each other, although I was talking about aesthetics. I admit that I was probably being too general, since clothing size isn't exactly a precise indicator for either of those things.

I'm aware that clothing sizes are relative to other factors, like hip width or height. For instance, you're quite tall -- 3-4 inches above average -- so a size 12 means something different for you than it would for someone who was closer to the 5'5"-ish average. I know you already know that, I just wanted to clarify that I'm not drawing a line at Size 9 and calling people above that fatties or anything. I'm certain that your size 12 looks very nice at your height, plus I bet you have some nice long stems to boot ;)

Being quite tall is a whole 'nother issue. It means I have a hard time finding sleeves that come all the way to my wrists. OTOH, "average height" women have trouble buying skirts and dresses means that they can't trip over.
