    What is the politically correct position on this these days?...so she is fat, like really....but one has to lie and say no?

    Is it ever acceptable to tell a woman she is fat?

    Only if you really hate her, otherwise avoid getting into discussions on weight with fat woman. And lie if you have to

    Well it depends, are you hoping to have sex with said woman at some point in future?

    Is she happy to be fat? are you unhappy she is fat?

    Don't hate her....she's a friend, but I loathe those type of questions.

    This is one of those "whatever you do is wrong" so good luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭greenman09


    Like 'does my ar$e look big in this?'. Does one really want to answer that truthfully?

    female friends are never fat,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭Steve O


    Tell her she looks great, then say ten decades of the rosary for your lies.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,464 ✭✭✭Celly Smunt


    Tell her she looks as tasty as apple pie.

    Full of fat and squishy to touch.

    Yup...one of those, it's such a trap question that a big part of me wanted to say, yup....fatty, but I said no....now it's annoying me I did :mad:

    When she comes to your house for tea, give her celery sticks instead of biscuits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,201 ✭✭✭amacca


    Dont listen to these pussies

    Be a man, tell the truth and take any negative consequences on the chin.

    Its for the good of all fat bitches everywhere. Too long has this big boned, bubbly personality nonsense persisted. Tell them its easy to slim if they had any willpower using a combination of exercise and diet. Tell them you are the only one that cares enough about them to tell them the truth and that their outward state is a reflection of their inner weakness etc

    When you have utterly broken their spirit you can then get them to pay a subscription to your diet and lifestyle newsletter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6


    Yep, you are so fat the oil they could get from you stopped exploration for oil in Texas.

    Had a friend like that once, she looked like a silver back gorilla. Never told her that.

    Ahh Gorillas in the mist, what a great movie.

    Should have invited her over for movie night....asked her if she recognised anyone:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 105 ✭✭Mick990


    I think the real question is would you like to have sexual relations with said girl in the future ??

    If NO then tell her the truth

    If yes then just either lie or tell her what she wants to hear . Trust me its for the greater good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36 Hogata

    If you tell her she's fat, do it with a hidden camera and post it on youtube so we can watch you get knocked out!

    Call her Phat, cool word innit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,075 ✭✭✭IamtheWalrus


    In the past I've been told where to go when advising a fat person on dieting so I stay clear and let them be fat all they want. No one can change them but themselves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭Praetorian Saighdiuir


    If you class her as fat then if she asks, just tell her. What's she gonna do, run after you?

    If she does, just keep telling her she's fat for a few months.....sorted.

    Depends entirely on the context and person(I take it we're talking about women here?) involved. How they ask another. If it's "I'm feeling self conscious at the moment, feel a bit bloated and am about to hit the tiles, so do you think I'm fat?" then no bloody way do you approach the truth, or you approach it downwind. Behind some bushes. If they're asking "I need some encouragement to make a lifestyle change and want an honest answer" then yea I'd be honest with them. When I say honest I don't mean what I might see as "fat". People's perception varies quite a bit, so I'd try and aim for an average yay or nay.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    You can tell her she's fat in a tactful way, and not hurt her feelings (tooo much), but encourage her to do something about it.

    Sample answers:

    Bad: Yes you are, I'm surprised you don't need a crane to get you out of bed and a tent to cover your arse. I'd rather eat my own head than see you naked.

    Good: I wouldn't use the word fat, but I do think that you were even more attractive than you are now - if thats possible - when you were a few kilos lighter than you are now. How about we start exercising together and see if we can both tone up?

    This is one thing that really annoys me. If someone can't see they're fat, then there's something wrong with them.

    I've nothing wrong with fat people, I have a problem with people who go through life pretending they're not.

    The mindset of these people usually develops into "im not fat if there's someone fatter"

    Tell the truth. Do it for humanity :D
    but of course reinforce you couldn't give a monkeys about it :P

    woman : do these jeans make my ass look big ?
    man: no! all the pies you ate done that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,987 ✭✭✭Legs.Eleven


    In my experience, it's never overweight women who ask this question, it's usually those that are a) digging for compliments b) are having an episode of insecurity or c) just having a "fat day" and are probably approaching Shark Week. Genuinely overweight people know they're overweight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 620 ✭✭✭MomijiHime


    If she asks, then tell her the truth


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,128 ✭✭✭✭aaronjumper


    The last time I was asked this I said "Only in the right places and only in the right way".

    It worked quite well. Trap avoided!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,309 ✭✭✭T-K-O


    If a fat women asks the question she already knows the answer. If that is your partner, give her the answer she wants. Lie

    If a skinny women asks the question, she's fishing for compliments. Lets play along.

    If the mrs has put on a little weight and asks the question. Grow a pair and give it to her straight


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    The right answer is no, but you should realise that she is asking for a reason; she may be feeling vulnerable about an entirely different issue, so it's a sign the ball is on your side to ask about what's bothering her....and then, joy of joys, ye can talk about yere feelings! :)

    Ah women.........probably like thinking a tiger would make a great pet. Great in theory but you live in fear for the day that it turns on you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    If she wanted an honest answer she'd simply look in a mirror.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,309 ✭✭✭T-K-O


    Who ever asks is seeking reassurance that can be given without answering the original question.
