Faye is curvy
« on: 22 Nov 2008, 00:35 »

Jeph makes Faye's body type so real, so convincing. I love how his (maybe?) main female character doesn't fit society's cookie-cutter standards.

So, um... thanks. I'm getting the Aerodynamically Curvaceous shirt as soon as I save up enough monies.

I agree, but I could do without the fat jokes. In real life, Faye would be a petite girl with big knockers and hips, the rest of the women would be in an eating disorder ward. Yeah, I know, it's just a comic and not drawn to scale, but it still sorta irks me as a big knocker girl.

I think we'd get most forumites agreeing on that before a mod comes along and says "alright, we get the picture" and then locks it

Before that happens, I'd like to agree too

I personally am very thin to the point that people make fun of it "Dont turn sideways!" "Watch for that crack in the floor!" all that crap. I have tried to gain weight but thats just not how my body is and I have come to accept it. Im happy with my body and am comfortable with myself. Saying that one body type is better than the other is like saying blondes are better than brunettes or vice versa. To each their own, not one person will ever be 100% right. Freaking body nazis.

I don't care what anyone says. Fat people suck. Especially if it isn't a glandular problem, but just plain gluttony. And I'm not saying like the little beer belly or whatever, I'm saying those enormous obese people who use scooters, and complain about how fat they are. I mean, come on. Scooters aren't getting rid of that fat. Even the fattest guy in the world still attempts to walk(he actually has to use a trailer to get around. Eww.) I don't mind the ones who at least try, and I mean try, exercise programs, drastic diet changes, and, if that doesn't work, some form of surgery. I mean, they're trying. They walk, and they don't complain as much. Not no stinkin' scooter.

Oh, and skeletons suck too. I mean the ones who have gone to the point of bone jutting badness, especially if they are in the media. Eat damnit. Food good!

I was starting out sarcastic, but then I remembered how bitchy some fat people are. And skeletons piss me off because of how badly influential they are.

Basically what I am saying is if you "hate" people because of their weight you should probably a) take an anger management course or b) die in a fire

Or, c) all of the above?

Really, now? Hating people for their weight? Hate them for their individual hypocrisy, or their bitchiness, and as for skeletons, hate the media that forced them to be that way. My mother was 115 pounds until she was 42 (and had me, haha) and 5'3. She was very thin, and could never put weight on. I eat probably 1500 calories a day and loads of vitamins and very little fat. Because of health problems, yeah, I'm chubby but also curvy.

And thanks, to those guys who said that this body type is good. I think women need to hear that.

His statement implies fat people are bitchy more often than other people, which isn't true - they just have one more thing to bitch about.


having an extra reason to bitch, doesnt mean you have to, especially if the only person you should be bitching too is yourself. People are being a hypocrit if they say they're obese or anorexic cause of the media. If the media told us to shoot ourselves, would 80% of the anorexics commit suicide? You still decide on your own, people always cling to the I'm sick card to avoid dealing with their problems on their own. I never saw media make someone skinny.

I did on the other hand find people stuffing their faces out of unhappiness, the stupid thing is they're unhappy cause they're overweight. and stuffing your face is the root of the overweight problem. I've seen so many overweight people say I cant help being fat I'm obese. But then they go to the macdonalds and take 2 large big mac menu's. When I asked her why, she said:' Ive been jogging earlier, so I burned fat, and now I can eat more fat' (she went jogging/walking for 10min). A weightproblem hardly ever has it's root outside of the person who has the weightproblem.

I do think it's stupid that you call Faye overweight she is by far not overweight. If I had to guess I'd say her BMI is at 23/24 (ok being between 20 and 25, and perfect being 22)

If your BMI (weight in kg/ (length in meters x length in meters) )is higher then 25 though you have a problem, and should really go consult a dietist, if you're topping 30 you're expected to not live another 10years without medical help required.

In the last  months, I have lost 85 pounds and am continuing to lose through a medically-supervised weight loss program.  I have discussed BMI with my health educator and doctors.

The body mass index originated in 1835 by a Belgian researcher who created it as a method to calculate body volume. http://www.mybodymassindex.com/articles_bmiorigins.html

They had no idea how to measure body fat back then.  BMI has since been replaced by Body Fat Percentage.  BMI goals actually cause very unhealthy side effects.

In fact, if I were to be able to drop to 0 % (that is zero percent) body fat, I'd still have to lose another 15 pounds of lean body mass (that is muscale and bone) in order to get down to a 30 BMI.

This BMI miscalculation happens for a large percent of the American population.

I urge anyone worried about their weight to research Body Fat Percentage to find their healthy size.

BTW: Faye is the absolutely sexiest character ever.  OMG, I'm lusting over a cartoon character!  :oops:

At least in this thread, it's a bunch of people talking about how Faye is a sexy person because she isn't the skinny little thing that everyone else is.  People could be in here going "OMG Hanners is teh hottnez.  Faye is not sexy cause not hanners!  SHOW HANNERS BOOBS!!!"  I get tired of that in the WCT whenever there is a Hannelore strip.

Tanita makes a reasonably priced scale that estimates body fat percentage based on an electrical measurement, saving you the trouble of getting calipered or water-tanked.

On real-life women, it's a minus for me if ribs are sticking out.

What makes Faye attractive to the other characters, and what would make a Faye-like real woman attractive to me, is her wit and personality. I have a dysfunctional pattern of being attracted to personalities like Faye's.

Faye isn't even Rubenesque. I bet she's on the high side of medical recommendations but it's a cultural malfunction that makes her feel fat.

if your BMI is 16 you're either calculating it wrong or I would really hurry myself to a hospital. a BMI of 16 = severe malnourishment, it gets dangerous below 18 just like obese gets dangerous above 28.

for the calculation again lets use me.
I'm a skinny person, (for some reason I have a superfast metabolism) I weigh 69kg which is 151.8 lbs and I'm 1m83 which is about 72" or 6' feet something
69 divided by 1.83 times 1.83 = 69/3.348 = a BMI of 20.6 which is still ok.
Body fat is something they introduced after they discovered that the way body mass an body fat related to eachother were changing in drastically but no way in heaven or hell would your BMI be over 25 if you have 0% bodyfat. Saying you're bigboned? for a BMI of 25+ on an average height guy lets say 1m75 which is 68.9" = 5 ' and 8.90 " he'd have to weigh over 80kg which is 176 lbs and still be healthy. or way more then 87kg or 191.4 lbs to enter the obesity zone.

BMI is crap, manages to make most people feel like shit (you're too fat! You're too thin!), and why the fuck do doctors need a weight.height chart to work out if someone's overweight or not anyway?? They shouldn't be too thick to learn discernment what with that medical degree and all... nor do you need a MD to work out what's a healthy bodyfat% and/or weight for you.

Skinny people are not necessarily healthy or active. Fat people are not necessarily unhealthy or lazy. Get the fuck over it.

(Oh and FYI at just under 20% bodyfat, a fair amount of muscle and extremely active with a good diet I was exactly on the line between "OK" and "overweight". I am now what I consider overweight; I've got a wee bit of a belly, gone a size up in pants, probably around 35% bodyfat and my weight is starting to annoy me in terms of being able to walk the dogs on hills etc.

My BMI makes me "obese" which strikes me as ridiculous as I can still go harder and longer at kickboxing than my muscular, slim, male friend whose BMI puts him on the line between "OK" and "underweight". Waste of fucking time and energy, I know I need to lose weight and didn't need an arbitrary bullshit chart to guilt-trip me into knowing that.)


As for Faye, she's hot but her increasing negativity and passive-aggressiveness are killing my respect for her.  :x

Fenris, maybe you dont need a doctor to help you find out you need to do a little more exercise, but a lot of people DO. otherwise the world wouldnt have any obese people. a chart never tries to guilt-trip you in losing weight, a chart cant even try to DO anything. The fact that you checked the chart, and that you feel uncomfortable with what it says is you guilt-tripping yourself. In most cases it's better off to be a little bit overweight then underweight when it comes to physical activity. More fat too burn means you can produce more energy. But the problems with overweight start setting in at the late 30's, early 40's and we'll see who's better off then you or you little underweight friend. You said so yourself you're having problems waking dogs on hills, you know that seems like a big problem to me (hills shouldnt be too physically exhausting)

and as you may have noticed we are not pissing on the parade of fat people. We're getting annoyed by fat people who DONT exercise or at least eat more then they know themselves they should, and then go blaming everybody and everything but themselves for being fat. You got yourself fat, nobody else did, face that and you're halfway down the road of a diet (that last part was directed at the group of fat people described, the angry non exercisers).

I do heavily agree on the Faye part though. I loved Faye in the earlier comics, now (and this from before the Sven thing) she's lost all my respect. She's a sad woman who hates it to see other people happy, she tries to hide it, but as of late I dont even think she's trying to hide it

if your BMI is 16 you're either calculating it wrong

The point people have been making (which you've ignored) is that there is no right way to calculate it because it's a fundamentally broken measurement.

Quote
I'm a skinny person, (for some reason I have a superfast metabolism) I weigh 69kg which is 151.8 lbs and I'm 1m83 which is about 72" or 6' feet something
69 divided by 1.83 times 1.83 = 69/3.348 = a BMI of 20.6 which is still ok.

If you're self-described as "skinny" but 20.6 when 20 is the ostensibly "average" BMI, doesn't that kind of prove the point?

Quote
for a BMI of 25+ on an average height guy lets say 1m75 which is 68.9" = 5 ' and 8.90 " he'd have to weigh over 80kg which is 176 lbs and still be healthy.

How is 80kg of mostly muscle implausible?

Yeah.  I'm 5'9" and 80kg of mostly muscle.  Granted, I had to work hard to get there and have to work hard to stay there, but it's not implausible.

there is no average BMI only an optimal one, it's like saying there's an average body fat % and that is the right one, cause that would put the average body fat % in the ranges of around 40 to 45% and I highly doubt that is the optimal one.

and really I would like for you to try to go to a doctor and say hey I have a Body mass index of 16 the possible results are:
a.) you are not lying you really are as malnourished as those little african kids you see on the informercials asking for you money to help save children from starvation. In which case the doctor will refer you to the hospital where you will most likely be hooked up to a tube that will feed you with whatever the IV of the day holds.
b.) he will tell you to calculate it correctly, ask him if he can do it for you and do it (cause yes there is a correct way: did you all use your height in METERS and your weight in KILOGRAMS, instead of feet/inches and pounds?)
c.) he'll just laugh at you charge his fee and make some quick money.

it's not a tool to place you somewhere precisely it's a tool to indicate a trend, and if it is a bad trend you should act on it and not go ignoring it cause the results dont suit your flavor.

and yes a BMI of 20.6 is on the skinny side of it.

i like faye's curves. more than anything, i like how the body types of all of the girl characters are *different* from each other.

to all the skinny people: just stay healthy.
to all the fat people: just stay as active as you can.
to everyone: just be happy with who you are, and if you aren't, then change yourself somehow.


that is all.
not like y'all needed a lecture, but i said it anyway.

for a BMI of 25+ on an average height guy lets say 1m75 which is 68.9" = 5 ' and 8.90 " he'd have to weigh over 80kg which is 176 lbs and still be healthy.

How is 80kg of mostly muscle implausible?
one I stated that a man of 5'9" weighing 176 lbs is still a healthy a man, 80kg of muscles is not implausible, but you have to calculate how much your skeleton weighs :)

if your BMI is 16 you're either calculating it wrong or I would really hurry myself to a hospital. a BMI of 16 = severe malnourishment, it gets dangerous below 18 just like obese gets dangerous above 28.

for the calculation again lets use me.
I'm a skinny person, (for some reason I have a superfast metabolism) I weigh 69kg which is 151.8 lbs and I'm 1m83 which is about 72" or 6' feet something
69 divided by 1.83 times 1.83 = 69/3.348 = a BMI of 20.6 which is still ok.
Body fat is something they introduced after they discovered that the way body mass an body fat related to eachother were changing in drastically but no way in heaven or hell would your BMI be over 25 if you have 0% bodyfat. Saying you're bigboned? for a BMI of 25+ on an average height guy lets say 1m75 which is 68.9" = 5 ' and 8.90 " he'd have to weigh over 80kg which is 176 lbs and still be healthy. or way more then 87kg or 191.4 lbs to enter the obesity zone.
130 and 5'11". Figure it out for me.

I've calculated it to a BMI of 18.1. Which is below the 20-25 limit advised, but is still above malnourishment.
The problems you'll most likely face is a lowered immunity, getting sick more often then you normally would with more weight.
A possibility of vitamin and or mineral deficiencies which lead to weakened bones, and once again a weakened immune-system.
these things are not life threatening, but that doesnt mean you can keep losing weight and not pay the price.
