You look good, promise.

I recently was proposed a difficult and perplexing question by an extremely attractive female friend of mine.

"okay, this is a random question again, but name a girl (this is SO mean I know, but I have to know) that you think is classified as 'chunky'"?

It was a strange question, but in the interest of honesty I gave her a straight answer. Worried, I poked and prodded to get her to tell me what exactly made her ask about this.

It turns out, a guy told her she could lose a few pounds.

This girl is probably the prettiest girl I know. I couldn't believe it! I had to reassure this girl that she's pretty the way she is. She runs everyday! She's in amazing shape!

I have no idea where this guy gets off. I wasn't a fan of him before either. He's a freeloading, 30-year-old gay man. He bums her for rides all the time, just because he's her boss for PEI Fashion Week. He's obnoxiously flamboyant. And now he does this. I don't know if he thinks he can get away with it because he's gay, or if he is just THIS much of an asshole.

Really what I'm trying to get across is that, as a responsible male, I feel that I have no place telling a girl she could "do good by losing a few pounds." It just seems so blatantly rude to me. Girls have enough trouble forming a positive self-image in our society, that they sure as hell don't need me telling them they look bad.

In these situations, I adopt a "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" philosophy. Its in no way my place to tell a girl how comfortable she should be with her body. If she asks me if an outfit looks okay, I'll give her a straight answer. But you will NEVER catch me telling a girl it would look better on her if she lost weight.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, maybe I'm a good person. I feel like this is a lot of self-back patting right now, but this guy really pissed me off.
