Girls, Why do skinnier people feel heavyer than big people?

[Pizzaislyfe]

I let my friend sit in my lap and she was heavy but she weight like 106 and when my brother weights like 76 and they both feel heavy, but I'm thick and last time I got weighed I was 197 but I sat on my friends lap and she said I wasn't really heavy and I'd sit on my brother when we play fight and he said you aren't that heavy. Can someone tell me why their weight feels different?

It's all about force distribution.

When a skinny person sits on you, all their weight is pressing down through their small buttocks, so the weight per square inch is quite high.

When a fat person sits on you, their weight is distributed across a much wider area, so the weight per square inch might end up being much less.

Also, skinny people might not have enough cushioning on their buttocks, so a significant portion of their weight are pressing down on you through their hip bones.

197 pounds at 13 years old! I hate being the mean one but that might be a little unhealthy. Even doctors will diagnose you with obesity. #juststatingfacts

you're not always used to the feeling of water weight. That happens to just about everyone though. That's a matter of weight distribution and fat isn't heavy like bone or water but if you were holding pure fat or you had to lift an unresponsive person than that's heavy.

It's the bones. So many bones...
