Wow! … As someone else said, good that they’re both off the singles’ market.

Not if they reproduce.

Really, what advice can you give to a grown person who is looking for information on how to hate herself and her boyfriend less?

As was said, I believe, by one of the genius surrealists upthread:

Fish.

I like how she gave a nonsensical answer to this question. Really, what advice can you give to a grown person who is looking for information on how to hate herself and her boyfriend less?

Wow! There is a certain synergy to the two of them being together. As someone else said, good that they’re both off the singles’ market.

I don’t understand these people at all.

It’s like Microsoft, whose only product that doesn’t suck is a vacuum…

haven’t read through all the comments but I’m wondering if her snippiness is a self-defense thing. Like “hey asshole, look in a mirror b4 getting on my case”.

my boyfriend is 6’5″ and weighs 270, and has a slight (very slight) belly. Someone who’s both TALLER and LIGHTER is not that damned heavy.

This woman just disgusts me. If the size makes that much of a difference, try a foot stool or something.

HA. That made me laugh. I look a good dose of indignation at 1:45 in the afternoon. Tempered rage isn’t as bad for you as they say.

the sad thing to me is that could have been the start of a good advice column “why do men think they get to apply standards to women that don’t apply to them?” And go on to suggest that the reader call him on the b.s., or something. or point out that she doesn’t need someone doing that. Instead . . . there’s just failure.

According to urbandictionary.com, one of the definitons for “bucket” is a ” flabby, loose or overly spacious vagina”… How is losing weight gonna change THAT?

I agree that those two have earned each other, but I fear for their (future) children – imagine how f***ed up those kids will be!

Lazy advising, Ms. Columnist: “It’s a great imponderable!

No, it’s because we live in a patriarchy full of double-standards and injustice, dimbulb.

And I buy my hot dogs eight to the pound.

Which is why I no doubt have “buckets”–whatever they may be.
