Do you think it is ok to make jokes about girl's/woman's weight?You know boys/men like to teas us, however do you think it is funny if they start joking about something so sensitive like our weight? It is of course a question of self-confidence to be able to kill such jokes but ehmm in this modern era we are influenced by pictures of slim, skinny models and even normal looking girl can feel fat then..Can such jokes lead to eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia or is it a problem of girl/woman, who should be able just to laugh at them instead of taking them too seriously?Thank you for your opinions ;)

But if I wanted to say something about woman's weight, I would find the right words for her to feel unique. It would be something like this:
"Your tummy is softer than any pillow, your bosom is my safest hiding place, your great clunises would make Manny change his mind about making kinds with Elli! You are my greatest airport! You are so big and you all are mine! You are so good and kind! There must be MORE of you for me to enjoy every moment of my life!"
Well, according to Mary, Fool's Day is not scheduled! LOL!

My dear Luci, a few former generations of women struggled for women's rights and they won. We are equal now. So, "as you sow you shall mow"! I agree with Reginald, it is odd that we can't joke about your appearances while you can even gibe at our credentials and even our being well-hung. We are equal, dear! It is exactly what you, women, wanted to get!
But I agree, women are more sensitive. They can really go nuts and start vomiting after every meal (why to spoil so much food if people and kids still starve?!) or stop eating at all. If they do, they need a srink as ALL women are attractive. What we love is not your weight, your extra or failing pounds, we love you for WHO you are.

Luci, I personally do not like to make jokes of anybody, girls or boys. I do not feel easy when I hear people making others their laughing stalk. (I hope I am using the right phrase). This is against my nature. I can't do that because there are many defects in myself, physically and characteristically which I am very well aware of!
Lately I see so many video propaganda of healthy life style.sexy body, awesome make up etc. Girls have such, excuse me, asses that u think their life goal is to creat an ass that will make everyone stare with open mouth :D personally I think thats kinda sick!!! yes it's cool to be healthy and fit but, excuse me, not everyone can look like a top model and if you do have some extra weight it doesn't mean you must be mocked or people should be disgusted by you! Eventually, the biggest worry of some girls becomes her ass rather than her head, which is frankly speaking, a bit sad)))
Now talking about the jokes. If someone told me I am fat I would say "yeh and thats awesome" :D let's say I don't give a damn abt what others say or think however there might be other women who take it not so easy and might go into depression stop eatting etc. I think esp. guys should be very careful about making such jokes and make sure that it IS a joke rather than a sly way to tell a woman "wow u r so damn fat"!!!
I was careless to say some jokes to a friend about weight. Then, she didn't greet me, even hated me for days and months.... Glad that now she's still a friend of mine.
Sure, that's not funny at all. Guys, please don't make a joke of this matter to girls or women. Though they like humor, we never know when they finally hurt.
Thanks for the discussion and reminding us (especially men) about this, Luci. :)
"Tease" and "insult" are strong words. Making a joke to a best friend of, "Hey Becky, you seem to like food more than television", could be harmless. But I would never say this to a stranger, an acquaintance or somebody I knew struggled with disease, dieting or a metal disorder.
Media really does pose a truly unattainable image for women, but to recognize that and not be superficially influenced by them is a key to happiness.
Jokes can cause mental disorders, the simplest example of this is "Bullying". At the same time, if you can't enjoy a hearty laugh, that can also become debilitating.
It doesn't matter what others think of you, only what you think of yourself.
WRONG! NEVER insult a girl about physical appearance tell her how much you love her tell her you were joking and would never do anything to hurt her. tell her she's beautiful (don't say sexy. beautiful means much more) and perfect in every way and that you don't know what you would do without her.
I think it's matter of self confidence, women have to trust in her shape and her appearance .and I think it's not gently to men to make joke in women's weight so how can women deal with this matter, she has to don't care and laugh at them instead of taking it seriously

The simplest answer is "It depends".
"Tease" and "insult" are strong words. Making a joke to a best friend of, "Hey Becky, you seem to like food more than television", could be harmless. But I would never say this to a stranger, an acquaintance or somebody I knew struggled with disease, dieting or a metal disorder.

Yeah! But I always can take it out of context and use it as I wish, right? :p
