Do you like it when people call you skinny?

Well I like it when people call me skinny. Its because I never heard that in my entire life and got called tubby plenty of times. And I know people mean it as a complement. While I would rather they just said "you look great" or " you look so young" (which they sometimes do) I am happy with the skinny complement.

Many years ago being called skinny was not a complement because more curvacious women were considered attractive and being thing was a sign of poverty. But times have change and they say you can't be to thin (we know thats not true). But I still especially enjoy seeing people that haven't seen me in a couple of years and love their reaction. And I am grateful that they remark on that rather than other changes such as saggy skin and more grey hair.

So what the heck. I don't get wolf whistles or hit on by men or leered at, all I guess because I am a little long in the tooth but I feel like I am 30 again and I can go in any store and pass by all the "X" racks. Interestingly, it seems like there are more and more of those and its harder to dig through all the stacks of jeans to find the smaller sizes (yay). Used to be I could never find anything big enough that wasn't super ugly.

So no I don't mind being called skinny. Its a complement and I'll take it.  Just hoping I can stay this way.     Diane

Hmmm...I'll let you know how I feel as soon as people start calling me skinny. ;)

I do dislike when my patients comment on my weight loss. Some of my patients mistake our appointments as a social call and think we are best friends. The majority of them are well-meaning and I understand the intent of their comments or questions is not malicious, but I do wish I could remove my gender, age, weight, race, etc. when I am a healthcare provider and focus only on the task at hand.

...maybe I could start dressing as a robot in the clinic...

Did you know I can sit a drink on your ass?
How'd you fit ALL that into that skirt?

It makes me a little uncomfortable too.  I realize people are only trying to offer a compliment, but #1)  I am NOT skinny.  #2) I don't plan to get skinny!

I'm sure this will come as no surprise to you my friend...but I do NOT like it. One: it isn't true. and two: in general, I don't want to be noticed for something physical...be it my overall lack o' weight, my (fomally) big boobies (well, I suppose they are still big, but just LESS big), etc.

and yes, now, people generally mean that I shouldn't look this way, even though I'm not even close to normal weight.

Bleck.

Do NOT like.

Don't like the use of that particular word. I don't feel that it is a compliment. To me it has the same underlying meaning as if someone were to call me fat.

On the other hand I do like the compliments. I love walking down the street and feeling that I was checked out. These things didn't happen before. I guess I love the attention.
