What Attracts You Most in the Opposite Sex?

i wish i lived in UK , i would win any case like this.

girl I wouldnt say chubby (it will make them look cute )

naw ok i will say Chubby for you.

What's wrong with calling someone Fat?  I can call someone FAT, MASSIVE, BLOATED.

What's wrong in saying fat? It's just an adjective. A qualifying (describing) word. If what Nike says is true, then I'll join nddy in saying UK SUCKS, BIG TIME!!!!!

why is it not okay to say fat if it's okay to say skinny?
some people might think calling people skinny is a compliment but it really is not. it makes you feel like you're doing it on purpose. say "slender" or "slim" that's nicer. 
calling someone fat isn't nice either. 

merci mademoiselle Tamia..exactly..she gets me

Hmmm.... FAt Thing, Skinny, Chubby.. Blah blah.. Why should u care what people call you anyways.

Yeah i get what you're trying to say. I also don't buy the Idea of saying someone's FAT or Skinny. All i am saying is, It shouldn't hurt the person's feeling when s/he is being called that, Because you as a person shouldn't let anyone determine what you are and in turn spoil your mood and make u think bad of yourself.

I have a fat friend (very fat). She loves it when called "fat" because she doesnt see it as something one should be embarrased about. She only gets angry when u are trying to make fun of her with it. (which is a different case entirely). So there's nothin wrong in saying someone is "fat".

Likewise, I have a friend who's skinny. We call her 'lepa'. She doesnt get embarrased about it either. Infact, she brags about her stature.

So what's the big deal in calling someone 'fat' or 'skinny'?

It's not just the word, but the context in which the word is used that matters.

I remember when I was still in primary school, for some reason, some classmates of mine decided to start calling me a 'scapegoat'. (No, I don't know why either - perhaps they had just come across the word in a book and decided to use it to the max.) Obviously, neither I nor they knew the meaning of the word, but when they used the word, they woiuld point at me and then laugh, and after a while I got angry at them because I thought they were insulting me. Of course, it didn't help that the word had the word 'goat' in it. It was only when a teacher noticed what was going and asked what all the fuss was about that we found out the real meaning of the word.

(You can try this experiment with any word - even if you call someone 'beautiful' accompanied with pointing and laughter, they won't be flattered, I tell you!)

So the words 'fat' or 'skinny' aren't offensive in themselves; however, I guess that in the UK (and other such places), they have been used more in an offensive context than in Nigeria. I guess it's the reason why some words are OK to use at one point in time and then later on fall out of use (another example is {'handicapped/crippled' > 'disabled'})

disabled is not a nice word  . . "physically challenged" sounds more like it

 

thank u seun..

that word aint nice..really

Back to physical features:

I love eyes.  No need to be a specifc color.  I just love eyes.

She says a lot that she loves her stature. I know her better. You don't know her at all.
