[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of man knows that much about women's sizing? Weirdos.[/quote]
How about a man that shops with his wife? When she is going for certain clothes she likes having my opinion. From time to time I end up giving my opinion to other women trying on clothes. I don't volunteer, as I am not crazy, but if I am asked I give straight forward and tactful responses.[/quote]

So not related to this conversation that I should have just ignored this comment.

Do you comment, about the size they are wearing ([b]"you'd look better in a 4, sweetie, the 6 is too big") or on the fit/aethetics ("it doesn't play up your natural assets" or "they make your ass look awesome!"[/b])

Having an opinion about something being tried on is NOT the same as knowing women's sizing. And yes, we know who gives good feedback (my DH, no, my DD, no, my other DD, yes). Hope you fall under the yes category.[/quote]
Those kind of comments are reserved for my wife.

As for knowing women's sizing, I do. Years ago along with my other duties I was a buyer for a large department store and the women's department was part of my area. I can tell you that sizing in women's clothing is not exact as all women know. I can also tell you they have changed over the years. Today's size 10 could very likely have been tagged a 12 or more 30 years ago. A woman I know used to buy size 6 and is just a little heavier 20 years later and can buy a size 4.

Women who see dress size as important should stop. It isn't just about weight or the size but how you look and feel. We are a nation where obesity has become more common. Children are fatter now than they were 40 years ago by a big margin. Fitness, regardless of weight, is trending down. Diabetes in children and adults, trending up. I am overweight but I have endurance and could get out of my chair and walk 3 miles quickly and easily. My blood pressure, pulse rates and cholesterol are low. Do I look as good as I would like to naked? No. But right now if I dieted faithfully and exercised every day I could take off about half of what the charts say I should. Which I have been doing btw. There is a thing called set point and for each person that's different.

As to your husbands comment. I doubt that it's all about your weight but how would I know? If I saw correctly you stated 50lbs was close to your number? If you are average height or less that's a lot. Should you take off weight for your own health and self esteem? I believe you should. Women are overly self critical about their weight and looks to start with so if you follow that norm it has to be affecting you.

Quite often people that have lost a lot of weight talk about how their sex lives improved. Is that all because they look so much better or a combination that they look and FEEL better? I believe it's the latter.[/quote]
