| 13:57 - How do I know if someone is sensitive about their weight? ESP? |

| Following this rationale, I should be paying attention to each friends neurosis and planning my beach trip er, life accordingly? How realistic does this sound? So if my friend has squinty eyes (caucasian, before you play the race card), and I do not, then I have to wear sunglasses around her? WTF? |

You two are Klassy! |

| I find this whole conversation really amusing and extremely egotistical. How arrogant to assume that anyone cares what you look like in a bathing suit, much less actually feel worse about themselves because of it. |

I was self-conscious around my thin friends when I was single, as I struggle to stay in good shape but am fighting genetics for a very curvy body-type.
Now that I am married and have had kids, its not as big a deal to me, although I still notice it. |

Seriously! Totally agree. What was supposed to be a sign of kindness actually came off as really sort of ridiculous and self-satisfied! |

| My friend and I both look good in a bikini. We are actually both working on gaining weight, muscle, not fat, which is harder than you might think. |

You've taken the rationale too far. It is nice to have friends who are sensitive to others and not solely self-centered. You will naturally be able to pick up people's insecurities when you are around them long enough. Does not mean you have to tiptoe around everything, but at least be aware of those around you. |

I'm modest about it. Nothing skimpy and I wear a tight fitted tank top too sometimes.
I've worked hard and been athletic my entire life so I fit great in a bikini, but certainly don't prance around like Ms. America. |

You're comparing being overweight to having Asian eyes? |

The post specifically says caucasian - you are so prejudiced for assuming Asian when the post specifically stated caucasian. Why does squinty have to be Asian? You're repulsive. You probably have beady, squinty eyes yourself and tried to turn this into something its not.
So, if you look good in a bikini, you are supposed to cover up in case others are insecure? How much sense does that make? 19:03 - my friend looks amazing, really I wish I could look like her in a bikini, but its just not meant to be. She is not egotistical at all. It is what it is. My being catty about it is not going to make her look worse, it would make me look worse. Besides, I swear we have better sex afterward. But if you don't like sex, I could see how this would be a problem. Maybe your husband has a point. |

you don't cover up in case others are insecure, but you are more sensitive if you know your friend is insecure about her weight. there is a difference here!
if i'm around people who are comfortable with their bodies, then i will be freer to be myself. if i am around my sister who dealt with weight issue her whole life and had an eating disorder and if i know she is going to notice my body, THEN i am going to be a little more aware of how i present myself. please get a life 9:21. |

| Again, how am I supposed to know each persons insecurities? They advertise them? |

How much time are ya'll spending in bikinis with your friends? This was an issue in high school when I had days to lounge by the pool.
I look pretty good in a bikini...I just don't spend a lot of time in one. We go to the beach once a year with my folks and that is about it. I'm not a fan of the pool or sunbathing so summer weekends we don't spend that much time at the pool. I guess it just doesn't come up. |
