"Hey, gal, lose 15 lbs.!" That's not gentlemanly.
But I met a gal pal at my bar earlier tonight and she's trying out for a TV station as a sports reporter. Everything apparently went well. But she said that they said that she needs to lose 10 lbs. She took it like a Champ though.
Anyway, my jaw dropped. Because it was so true and they actually told her the truth. As a friend, even if she were 100 lbs. overweight, I would not have said anything. At worst, I would have said, "You look healthy!"
The truth of the matter is that there are some fairly absolute standards especially for overweight women. I feel bad for them sometimes. Because alot of them actually dont eat that much. But their genes and metabolism milks every fat out of those calories and put it on their ass, thighs, or abdomen.
I'm known and pride myself in being honest. "Nah, that scarf doesnt work with that outfit." "Sorry, those shoes are not sexy." etc. But when it comes to telling gals their weight, I skip it entirely.
So it's nice to know that there are some places and people who can tell them exactly the truth.
Hey, me, I need to gain 20 lbs. and workout and develop some muscles. I'll take it like a champ too. I think though that it's easier to gain weight than to lose it. Once I worked out for 3 weeks straight and I looked like Bruce Lee... Enter the Dragon.. tight and atheletic like a gay porn star. So I know that my body is quite malleable. 6 months max.
I feel bad for women though. Hard to loose the weight off the ass once the ass grows. That's why I'll never date a woman with a big ass. After childbirth, she will be a Sasquatch. Fck that.
I can never love a fat ass woman-- even if she wins the Nobel Prize.

I suppose it's to be expected in a way from a TV job, where virtually everything is related to the surface and exterior -- particularly in "anchor" type jobs.
If I were her, I'd drop the 10, but I'm not. It would be interesting to know the outcome of the story. Was that the kiss-off?
No. Not kiss off. But an imperative.
She's a champ. She's gonna workout. But I don't think that it will be enough.
It's metabolism.
I feel bad for her. She's a size 8 I think. Not fat. Just healthy. Robust.
Did you see in the Times this morning that American Psycho is being adapted as a Broadway musical? Now THAT could be lively. And I think the musical idiom is a good one to catch the satire and surrealism of the novel.
Just like you never told me I had put on a few pounds too many. Next time I would appreciate you telling me. In the long run it's much nicer.
Need to hang out soon!
Barbie,
It's nearly impossible for me to tell a girl that I hangout with alot (because I like them) something so harsh. Besides, if they were fat, I would never hung out with them to begin with. As you know, I'm a snob when it comes to visuals (and personality too).
As far as I'm concerned, weight to a woman is a nuclear issue and I'm never going to push that button. So, I would be useless to you in that regard.
Plus, you're in great shape! Yes, I do admit that last year before you went to Sweden when we had dinner at Woo Lae Oak in Soho, you did have a few extra pound puppies. But hey, you're perfect now.
I dont think that you'll ever get fat. I think you do have a body that can gain weight if you don't watch out, that is, a normal metabolism. But you love working out and being in shape and know the importance of that and you will not allow it to happen. Afterall, there is no such thing as a fat barbie. So cheers!
