Left work early today because my boss made me feel like s***. Like, here I am doing this entry-level pick-pack-ship bulls*** and he's gotta bring me down a few notches because he's terrible at being a boss and planning for staff and handling his stress, etc., etc.
 
Imagine thinking that the girl pictured above is not hot
Swede is from Sweden, where women not being fat is the norm, not exception, so his perspective is different.

I used to work with An American Collegue & we have a business partner in Hungary. He said he was shock when he was at Budapest. He said everywhere he turned, were supermodels, & was shocked all the girls were so slim.

The funny thing is, wokeness is universally hatred except weirdos on twitters, media and Hollywood, & Corp and industry endose wokeness crash and burn, like comics, they still push it like a cult.

the movie woke critics were upset that movies like Kong vs godzilla and mortal kombat did so well in box office instead of their woke nonsenses movies. They cannot rationalise most people that watch movies just want to be entertained, and not having woke ideology pushed to them, and be preach not to be racist, sexist as if we are and needed to be preached.

I can't tell if you're joking or not, but based on your posting history you're being serious so I'll make this quick.

True story. But do not take my word, come to Europe to see for yourself. :grin:

Being not overweight is the norm in most countries in the world still. but many are catching up, but still some way from 'Merica.

What metric did NHANES use to "estimate" someone is "obese"? If they used the terribly outdated BMI index, one can throw away that graph completely. According to the BMI, I'm obese. The last girl I was dating is considered "overweight."

lol I've been to Europe before and am planning on returning next year if all goes according to plan. There were plenty of larger individuals, just like there are here. The college thing you wrote might be the dumbest thing I've read in a while. Pretty hilarious that you think there wouldn't be at an American campus.

Sometimes I think you just really have it out for the US and it leads me to believe that you have some kind of superiority complex. I also think you've never been to America so your takes on beautiful women at a European campus vs American campus is absolute cringe

When the overall size of a population slowly change, the perception of "normal" also changed. An M size 40 years ago, will be S today. King Henry VIII was called the fat king. He will be consider slightly on the fat side by UK standard today.


Even if you think the BMI was not a good indicator of obesity, the relative BMI increase is still valid, as long as the mesaurements within a graph used the same measurement method.

what campus thing? I must be missing something.

Edit: You mean colleague? I am referring to co-worker, not college, as in school. Also that was his words. Not mine.

I thought American can take a few jokes, like Germans often being make fun for women looking manly.

In any case, his point isn't the women are more natutally beautiful, but people are usually better looking when slimmer, & Eastern Europeans are slimer as well as overall younger (average age) which give the perception.

We can take jokes, but when you specifically try to bash Americans it comes across as a little too serious. Maybe it's the fact that Germans aren't known for their humor 😉

Using BMI, in any capacity, is worthless. Also, there's no denying that, world wide, obesity has risen in all cultures and countries.

:ycry:
You are wrong, I am funny, according to my mom, & she never lied. Everytime I tell her a joke, she laughs, after I tell her I was joking

Well, thats true. I think there is a study that global obesity has or going to exceed global starvation.

As we go forward, there will be more obesity link illness than malutrition linked ones like diabetes.

I joked when I was in India for my friend's wedding that I can be a male model like Zoolander in India, at least I do not have a beer tummy. I barely see a skinny person in India. male or female in my 1 week there. To be fair, he told me as I was in big cities, there are people who are truely poor & starving in rural areas.

Yeah, BMI thinks I'm obese too, though I'm only a giant fat ass.
 
Fat h*** sapiens are people too and deserves love and caring and occasional sexual intercourse (just not with me), but I can honestly say that it's very rare that I see obese people here... When they do appear I feel sadness and just want to put them in a cage without food so they'll starve their way to happiness.
