My girlfriend is 130, 5'6, size 2/3. This is jean size though right?

Here's a tale about women's sizes from Uncle Fritzo:

When I was first dating my soon to be wife, I thought I'd get her some sexay lingerie for Valentines Day from a local shop. They asked me her sizes, so I said "34C and a size 10 panties (because that was jer jean size). They looked at me funny but packaged up my order.

On V-day, she opened the box, and inside were a pair of panties that about 3 people could fit in.

So.... WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT SIZES FOR UNDERWEAR AND PANTS?????

because clothes are weird. even within the same size, fits vary from brand to brand and it's not just women's clothes.

I'm wearing 34" jeans from aeropostal right now and they fit perfectly... but I tried on a different pair of 34" cords at the mall last week and couldn't even button them.

Whoever came up with the scheme for women's clothing sizes should be shot. If they're already dead, they should be resurrected and then promptly shot dead.

No, you don't understand- If a girl wears a size 10 pants, then she wears like a size 5 underwear. It's a totally different scale.

You can fit in your jeans because you stretched them out.
You couldn't fit into the cords because you are fat. :biggrin:

To get back to the original topic, is size 8 fat on a girl? depends
is this particular chick fat? little bit

my jeans had to fit in the first place to get stretched out, and my weight s going in the opposite direction.

Yes my girlfriend is short, but she's gotten a little pudge from eating out which is why she complains. there's other women i know who are taller at 5'6 or 5'7" even (Asian remember so that's definitely tall for them), and size 2 or 4. My gf's roommate is definitely smaller size (i dont have the exact # but I can inquire) than my gf, and she's 5'7".

Trust me, 8 is chubby.

8 isn't obsese or fat, but there's definitely a little fat somewhere. Now as for Beyonce she's got a little bigger build. Also being black means you have a bigger booty. That's where some of the size 8 is going. She's curvacious and she's good looking, but she's not skinny.

ATOT has a lot of people who I would consider fat. I remember that waist size poll. If you're bigger than 36, you're probably fat. TallBill is an exception because he's a body builder but we know that is not hte case for most people on ATOT.

Yeah, I rock my 36 inch waist.

I've had pretty good luck with pants. I wear a 30" in nearly every brand I've tried. Shirts are a different story. Depending on the fit I'm either a small or a medium.

it may be a perspective thing then. im a huge mofo, 6'3" and a tad over 300. was in shape at about 235 and loading semis/ building stage sets, but im in round shape at the moment. ive always been large, so a 5'5" size 8 seems small and skinny to me. but i wouldnt call a size 8 woman over 5'3" fat. for that matter, i wouldnt call a size 14 woman fat either. women are evil, and hold grudges.

I don't think it's that much of a perspective thing. I fit a US Medium fine. In European sizing, a medium would be too small for a good number of brands. So I move to L. M is medium. M is average. There's a reason it's L and XL. Otherwise we would've shifted our sizes up more so today's L is an M and so on.

I may be average Asian male in the US, and I'm 1" away from average US male height anyway. I have friends who are taller. 5'11" and 6ish or so. 180-190 is about typical. Back when my 6' friend was a little over 200 people used to make fun of his beer belly.

The fact is in the US I think we're more tolerant of weight in general. I agree. I don't think a size 8 is fat where I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. I think they're on the thick side. It's not skinny nor is it smack dab idealistic.

Here's a question: What's Megan Fox's dress size? Or Scarlett Johansson? Or Jessica Alba?
