    Did anyone watch the segment on Brendan O Connors Saturday Night about plus size models? They were claiming that they are the average woman walking down the street in Ireland today. Well f me if they are the average woman in Ireland today, get me out of here to Australia or France were woman actually care for themselves and exercise.

    The term "real women" is so stupid anyway. Are skinny women not real?

    Because Irish men are so perfect? Feck off to Spain so, you won't be missed. But do send us a postcard confirming if you've improved your viewing habits. And maybe even realised women don't feel their purpose on the earth is just to please you.

    Promote unhealthy living to make the tubby ones feel better while degrading the healthy normal ones. Society gone backwards in regards to what "real" women are.

    Though I am sure they all feel that they are! I am pretty sure there aren't any men out there who feel less real, or less Irish, became they have an extra couple of stone on.

    There is nothing quite like the big heifers of women you see in Ireland. Some of them a good 20 stone weight.

    Dislike this real women talk purely because of it girls who are a few dress sizes bigger find its appropriate to call me a skinny b*tch , get enraged when I order something healthy when out for a meal, pressure me to eat junk etc..

    No need to put others down to make yourself feel better.

    And why shouldn't they?

    That's my point!!

    Exactly, it's not healthy but they are real.

    These overweight women think that labeling themselves as "real" justifys their unhealthy lifestyle. Which it doesn't.

    Who the **** watches Brendan "the ballsy people are buying property" O' Connor?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,313 ✭✭✭✭Sam Kade


    We're fat and we're proud.

    How many times do we see this fat women trying to justify their obesity to make themselves feel good, so they can carry on eating. You'll never see overweight men talking this nonsense.

    Can't see how "realness" has anything to do with appearance.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway - there is no agreement on what "looks nice" - it is very individual.

    It is true that nowadays many men and women are above the recommended weight/height range;

    BUT whether small, medium, or large - there's a huge variation in human beings and they are all REAL.

    I think a big bird can look very sexy indeed

    First off "real women" are not defined by their size. All women are "Real women".

    Secondly OP. Rather than accept what Brendan O Connor says are the "Real Women" of Ireland, how about you get out into the Real World and see for yourself.

    This thread will only go one way and the only people who are really ever arsed posting in these ones are trolls and and those who feed them so we'll leave it at that.
