Faye is curvy
Golani:
Most of my female-friends are like Faye* in appearance, (and one including temperment). I myself dislike (the appearance) of overly-skinny women (who do that to themselves on purpose, not meaning people who can't help it) As a matter of a fact, two of my skinny friends hate being that, and no matter what they eat, they will never become as fat as Faye, just because of biological disorders. People call them Anemic, when they aren't. Anyway, I'm going off track.
The female figure now-a-days is protrayed as being slim, and slim being sexy. Faye (while being my definition of sexy), is more like the modern woman. Though she herself is a little prettier than 55% of the female population. Anyway, Jeph's comic won me over for how he portrayed everyone's different personalities, down to their figure. Faye is a great example.
*She is also my favorite character.

Sorry to disrupt the weight discussion, but have any of you noticed (primarily referenced in the last two comics) how lazy Faye has been? Either that or she is a compulsive liar/ has responsibility issues. She says first that it's Penny's turn to clean up blood, then she shunts blood-cleaning off onto Raven (could be vise-versa, cba to check). What the hell? Stop being lazy Faye and clean up the damn blood.
Zingoleb:
You clean up the damn blood! It's all yours, anyways!
And quit passing out!

You know why skinny women are portrayed by the media as being sexy? Because people will always pick the most unique things to be called beautiful. The problem isnt that Faye is not skinny enough, the problem is that most modern people are getting fatter. and the skinny people are slowly but steadily disappearing into a forest fo chubbiness. (example: the USA has now more morbidly obese people, then overweight people. With morbidly obese being, so fat your life is actually in danger, if you want an inaccurate BMI : 28+) In England the average weight of a person has gone up by a third in the last 5 years alone.
Now I wouldn't be opposed if it was just people getting fatter, but there's huge healthrisks involved, more so for woman who grow fat at an early age. A woman will menstruate for the first time as soon as her bodyfat reaches a certain level. And the longer between your first period and your first baby, the higher your chances for breastcancer (and this at an almost exponential rate). As girls are getting fatter faster, they'll have their first period at around the age of 11, 12 now, but they wont have a child until they're in their late 20's or early 30's. So please do not dismiss being overweight or even worse being morbidly obese, as something you cant help. You can help anything if you want it enough
Eris:
I don't know if I have been hanging around Discuss for too long, but can we get some sources for this information you're spouting? I would think that going through puberty would have more influence on when a girl gets her first period than her body weight. Some website or articles would be nice so that it doesn't sound like you are making up random bullshit.
