I really don't talk about my body type much I talk about my mom way more. It looks like you cherry pick from this end. But I really don't think my body shape is the topic here.


You haven't made your body a topic? That's rather strange because you have talked about it over and over again

No I talked about skinny women. I even mentioned amy Childs and Vicki blows. Even cheryl cole has similar dimensions. I never said it was the norm simply because of my dimensions but because many women I've seen share these dimensions and I can use many celebrities that have the dimensions and no one would say they are out of the norm. 23" waists are very popular among Hollywood. I could name like 10 celebrities right off that have them. It's common among skinny girls it just is.

Let's see, you can think of "10 celebrities right now" with 23 inch waists, plus Amy C and Vicki B and Cheryl C. so about 13 adult women. There are 22,000,000 adult women in America. Hmmmm, 13 out of 22 million. I would hardly consider that "common".

If you think a Barbie figure (without plastic surgery/breast implants/liposuction/strict diets/etc) is common than you may have lost touch with reality.

That reminds me of when a teen friend of my daughter was shopping with us and got hysterical (yup, screaming hysterical) because she could not fit into a size 00 pair of jeans and she said that she needed to go on a "strict diet". She insisted that "everyone wore a size 00" and "if you wore a size 0 you were obese". Her perception of what was "common" and "normal" was seriously skewed.

We found out later that she stayed at 85 pounds by limiting her daily calorie intake to 600 calories or less and that her parents and doctors were seriously concerned about her health (her normal weight should have been about 115).

There are over 300MM in the US are you sure only 22MM are adult women? Seems low

Most women in America are overweight that doesn't mean that skinny women are unrealistic.

The average waist is 34". That obviously isn't the average for a skinny woman.

That's what I'm talking the dimensions would be realistic for a skinny woman.

Those dimensions would be much bigger than a size 0 due to the bust and those dimensions are typically for someone who is a 18.5/19 bmi so I'm not talking about unhealthy skinny women. I'm talking about healthy skinny women. That's realistic. i bet if she were pear shaped you'd say that easy realistic when it is no more realistic than the reverse.

The average women or 50% in the US according to statistics are size 12 -14, so 34 is correct. That leaves 50% for plus size, medium and small category. It appears we are becoming an over weight society. Not sure how we compare to Europe.

So skinny women are a minority but it's not unrealistic.
