[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally agree with you. It's frustrating when people are clearly *not* complimenting you but seem to think it's ok because they are masking it in the whole "you're so skinny" faux compliment. This has happened to me my whole life. Often, it is accompanied by a to-my-face discussion by the men present of whether or not they'd rather have a woman with curves or a 'little meat on her' (I also have small breasts). Wish I had a nickel for every time I've bitten my lip not to say, "Oh, thanks! You, though, complimenter, you're so *heavy* -- that must be so *nice* to be so curvy!" Which, of course, is somehow socially unacceptable -- folks can say to women's faces that they are too skinny -- but never, ever that they are too fat. Whatever. People are just mean, and somehow it's socially acceptable to rail on ectomorphs. [/quote]

Yes, that is exactly it, thank you for putting it more clearly that I did (and I also have small breasts, so I have heard that too)![/quote]
