Big girl?

In My Humble Opinion
1

A friend just informed me that she has a guy friend she’d like me to me…she thinks he will like me, because he likes “big girls”. I have a problem with this for two reasons:

  1. HELLO! I’m dating someone currently, and I rather like him.

  2. I don’t think I’m a “big girl”, which led to an arguement about b/w us about the subject…So, I ask you dopers. Am I a “big girl”?

I am 5’4, I weigh 140 pounds. I wear a size 8/10. My measurements are:

chest: 40 1/2
waist: 28 1/2
hips: 38

I’m an adult, I can take the truth, so if I am just tell me so (and then run for your life ;)).

No, you are not a big girl.

I’m 5’5" and a size 28. I am a big girl. You’re just a wee bit of a girl :slight_smile:

3

Not by my standards, you aren’t. Maybe she meant you have “big girls”? :slight_smile:

4

Nope. You don’t sound like a “big girl” in my book. But you do sound delightfully curvy. :smiley:

Slight hijack: I have always been amazed at people who will try to find dates for friends who are already involved with someone.

She’s not very fond of my baby…she’s been doing so since we became an item :rolleyes:

Unless she was speaking specifically of your breasts, she’s got a whacked perspective of what’s “big.” More than half of American women are a size 12 or larger. Someone smallr than that cannot, to my mind, qualify as a big girl.

We can discuss the inanity of adult women referring to other adult women as “girls” or the idea of what kind of friend tries to set up someone who is already in a relationship in another thread. Preferrably in the Pit. :smiley:

You’re only a “big girl” to a small child. From your description, you sound perfectly average to me - not bony skinny, not fat nor even plump.

I wonder what your “friend” looks like?

jesleigh, I wouldn’t consider you a “big girl.” Hell, it really depends on the definition of “big girl.” I could be considered one because I’m tall. (5’10", wears size 14, but looks like size 10 to the average salesperson) Also, I wouldn’t consider that person someone still worthy of friendship if they’re constantly trying to set you up with their idea of a good guy for you when you’re still in a relationship.

TeaElle. It’s quite subjective as to what qualifies for the term “big” in women’s sizes. If someone is 5’0" and wears a size 12, it’s completely different than me wearing a size 12. I actually look thin in a size 12, so the fashion industry’s concept of what’s “plus size” and what’s not never really works with me until I get into about 16/18 or so.

Between that and the subject line of your thread, I have to wonder what makes her your friend.

10

Nope. Not big. Nice.

11

Nope. Not a big girl. I’d say you sound “average.” (though I know that what I consider average isn’t the true average weight of American women) Depending on your build, you may look slender or curvy, but I can’t see how anyone would consider you “big” in any way.

And I assumed this was a thread about Biggirl. :slight_smile:

12

Nope. Your measurements sound similar to mine, and I am not “big”. Delightfully curvy yes, but big? No.

13

Pics?

Well, given your height and weight, your BMI is apparently 24. That’s within the normal weight range, so you are obviously not “big.” You also say you’re an adult, so you’re not a “girl” either. Tell your friend to take a hike.

15

My sister is your height, and about five pounds heavier. People around here tend to consider her small.

16

Nope, doesn’t even come close to what I would consider big. Your friend, however, might have a different opinion of what’s “big”. You might ask her to point out someone that she considers borderline between average and big. Taking that into consideration, you can then adjust her opinion of your size to match what you consider big.

Sounds to me like this girl is not only trying to break you and your SO up, but also thought up a nice sneaky way to call you fat right to your face.

Why is this person your friend?

18

Let me give a little background:

We have been friends since we were in kindergarden, and we are now in our second year of college. I know she isn’t the best friend someone could ask for, but I find it very difficult to completely end things between us.

Thanks for the responses…You people know how to help a girl’s confidence :smiley:

The old time standard of women’s weight is 100 pounds at 5’0", and add 5 pounds per inch above 5 feet.
