No 'respect' and I changed my tune because it was pointed out to me and I could relate. Still a few people that agreed with me here.
I still think she is too big and unattractive for me.. I just regret starting this up and picking on her in an open forum.
The truth is peoples preconcieved ideas change.
When I was growing up 50-60 years ago, a girl of her size would have been regarded as abnormal, ostracised and treated as a fat greedy pig. Memories of food rationing still made most people eat carefully, resulting in few obese people. My guess is Tarzan, while younger than me comes from a cultural background where food was also hard to come by, resulting in similar views. Its the old joke: you never see a fat Indian (or African)
Nowadays, food has become just another disposable item, its hard-won value has gone. Almost everyone can afford to overeat and being fat has become the cultural norm. The girl is fat, and likely to suffer the health consequences. At the same time, by modern standards she looks normal. We're normalising breeding a population of obese diabetics with latent respiratory, cardiac and vascular diseases.
