What do you think about a guy commenting on a girl‘s weight?

[Anonymous]

I am slim (probably a tad underweight actually) but I am otherwise healthy, I get regular periods, etc. Yet for some reason my partner feels the need to tell me that I should put on more weight. I tell him that I‘ve always been petite and slim. I can‘t help it! But he says things like ‘when you get older, you’re gonna have health issues’ as if he’s a doctor (which he is not. He is also quite slim by men’s standards so I think he’s being a hypocrite. He even once said, if I put on X amount of kilos there’d be ‘more to play with’… 😏. This mad me feel like I’m not enough the way I am. Do any other women know what I mean? Guys what do you think? Should I dump this guy?

He's just giving his opinion/concern for you. Yes I understand he's not a doctor and I'm sure you're tired of hearing. So tell him that you would wish for him to stop commenting on your weight. This is who I am, I don't diet. I eat regularly. As you know I have normal periods. Except me for who I am. I don't want to hear you complaining anymore

That’s basically what I said.

So the next time he starts to bring it up, tell him to stop. I don't want to hear it anymore

Hey, if girls can comment on height which men can't change, men can comment on weight which you can change.

Oh girl.. I’m sorry you experience this. I have been through this when I was really too slim. I don’t know how slim you are or if it is really something you should concern with but it’s definitely not anyone’s business to mind your weight. If you are happy with your body , you should not worry about your partner’s opinion..

I fluctuate between 6 stone 7 to 6 stone 11 (41-43 kg). And I’ve pretty much been like this my whole life. I’m only 5 feet tall (153cm) so it works out for my proportions. I eat well and have never had any eating disorders. I exercise regularly. I have regular periods. I’m functioning like a normal human. Sooo I don’t know why he feels he has to say that I should eat more and out on weight… its just who I am :(

[Sarahshahy]

Well I’m the way taller than you and I was really underweight because of ed. But you sound as a healthy woman ; so why should he concern? I know some guys are into curvy women but still not an excuse if he chose to be with you. I would suggest to talk to him and discuss what makes him think you might have health problems later.
