    As for Marilyn Monroe, at her biggest she was more like a size 12, but more usually a size 8-10 and with a tiny waist.

    Give me a bigger woman over the skinny instagram star wannabes any day of the week.

    Exactly. I don't get this near anger with some about whether someone is too fat or thin for them. So what? Nobody's asking you to marry them or anything.

    Now to be honest, I can see why someone might get wound up if they met someone and after a few years of being "settled" they, man or woman, piled on the pounds. Barring illness or a medical condition of course. And I've seen it happen in men and women, slightly more men actually and men have no excuse, again barring illness, to be sporting a hairy space hopper gut at 40, when they were thin/normal at 20.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    The reverse can apply too. My sister watches a lot of a particular programme about morbidly obese people who get gastric bypass surgery. In a significant number of cases (particularly where the patient is female, for some reason), it's very clear that the partner is *not* happy about it.

    Marilyn Monroe was a size 16.

    Not really though. Even her biggest inch measurements weren’t bigger than today’s size 12 on the hips and size 8-10 on the waist.

    She was clearly never overweight. You just had to look at her to know that.

    I'd really like if this could not turn into a fatty bashing thread but I won't hold my breath. So I'm a size 16-18 myself and while I'd definitely like to be toned and less wobbly, I'm not too bothered about my actual size, though my self esteem tends to fluctuate. I actually prefer bigger women myself. I used to be on this feeder website and I was really surprised how many men loved chubby and bigger women. So my question is, do you think it's not as rare as we're led to believe and that some men secretly like bigger women but it's not acceptable in society to say so?

    Oh yeah, I know a guy who left an ex because she lost a load of weight. Or at least that was a big part of it. He has always preferred bigger women, obese even. That's his thing and fair enough.

    In some cases I suspect one reason for partners not being happy at weight loss or any improvement in general attractiveness in their other half is a concern that the other person now appears to have more options and might leave them. Doubly so if they were more matched in weight and the like at the start and one has changed in quite a big way by comparison.

    Size 2 is IIRC around an Irish size 6/8? This bit stood out for me: The average American woman in the 1950s had a 25 inch waist compared to Monroe’s 22 inches. Whereas today, the average American woman has a waist size of 34 inches 34 inches? Jaysus. Unless she's 6'4...

    And yep Ms Monroe was not even close to being a "bigger woman"

    US 2 is supposed to be an irish/uk size 6 but in my experience its definitely bigger, more like an 8-10. Yeah she had a pretty normal figure for the time I'd say. I have no idea why she is considered to be big at all, must be the boobs and the fact that she doesn't look like she starved herself to that size. That second pic looks just like the average movie star size today, except less toned maybe. I don't think that was expected of women back then?

    Average waist size 34 inches?! That's crazy and certainly not something I notice on a daily basis. I know people think the US is full of obese people but most people that
    I see are normal sized or super fit. I guess the super obese people skew the figures somewhat but how do they arrive at these "averages" anyway?

    Joke is the women in that video are size 8's if that and very athletic as dancers are and compared to the huge arse instagram dolly birds of today and by comparison to that family of inflated arsed eejits whose da became their ma, they're near anorexic. :D

    When I was 11.5 stone at 5’ 3”, my waist measured 32”. I was BMI 27-28 if I recall. And I fit comfortably into airline seats and whatnot. 34” isn’t as ginormous as you’re imagining! I lost weight and my waist was then 28”. It wasn’t a dramatic reduction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,992 ✭✭✭✭gozunda


    I'd concur :D

    My leg length is about 34 inches, I'm trying to imagine my leg made into a circle and it seems pretty big tbh . But I accept that my scientific method could be totally wrong!

    Yeah the toned women's bodies thing really took off after the aerobics/fitness fad of the 80's(feel the burn!) and kept going. The 90's focus on six pack stomachs really added to it, even today with the big arses thing the stomach(and legs) tends to be toned as well. The gym craze escaping the minority pursuit plugged into that. Back in Monroe's time and before women's ideal was small of frame, hourglass figure, but still soft of curve and womanly. Which I suppose these days be actually harder to achieve? Even in the 60's with Twiggy and the like where "thin was in" they weren't sporting muscles.

    Men's ideal has shifted too. OK it's not as extreme as the 80's steroided up action hero with muscles under their eyebrows, but it's definitely more toned and muscled. Though in general men's bodyshape ideal varies significantly less than women's over time and culture. A "Miss World" winner of the 50's or 60's wouldn't get past the local heats today. Would Marilyn be nearly so popular a sex symbol these days? I doubt it. But say Michelangelo's David would pretty consistently hover around the male ideal body over the last 3000 years.

    As Prince once said;

    "Honey, them hips is gone
    That's alright, I clock 'em that way
    Remind me of something James used to say
    "I like 'em fat", "I like 'em proud"
    "Ya gotta have a mother for me"
    Now move your big ass 'round this way
    So I can work on that zipper, baby
    Tonight you're a star and I'm the big dipper".

    It's very subjective alright. I'm male, 5'11, around 10-11 stone* with a 29/30 inch waist and if I were to go up to 34 bejayzus I'd feel it. So I'm probably basing much of it on that. Now in fairness I'd be considered skinny today, but 40+ years back I'd be decidedly average. And skinny will show a bigger effect of an extra stone than someone bigger.
    As Prince once said;
    And yet his romantic interests were as tiny as he was. :D




    *don't know precisely, don't have a scales. That's what I was at 20 and my clothes size remained the same.

    The worst part is when a plus size model is on the front of a magazine and you hear comments like; 'nice to have a REAL woman on the cover' like women size 6-14 out here not existing.

    Hello :)
    I've always preferred women who are size 14 or above, it's not a big deal....I like to be able to feel something beneath me...a 6pack doesn't do anything for me...
    women like Tabria Majors and even Diana Sirokai I find hot asf...but everyone's different, different strokes for different folks...but a great bum, a bit of a belly and hips you can grab hold of....my idea of heaven tbh

    I think some women look better with more mass on them, size 8 or smaller is a turn off

    No problem with people fancying BBW (not my cup of tea). But, feeder website? That's just about control and unlikely to be healthy. Grand if your into BDSM type thing, each to their own.
