I'm 4'10" and 183lbs, would I stick out in Japan because of my figure?

[Anonymous]

Hi!
I'm planning to visit japan this year, and I'm a bit worried if I would stick out too much with my figure. My height wouldn't be a problem, but I wonder if my weight would ear a few glances from people.

Yes you would.

No you wouldn't.

[Flower7]

Yes because there are very few overweight people there. I know this because I lived there for 3 years.

[Asker]

Isn't it like the countryside has mostly slim people but big cities have a decent number of plus size people?

[Flower7]

No, when I was in Tokyo, a big girl rode by on her bike and a group of guys started laughing and making fun of her.

[Asker]

That's pretty cruel.
By "big" you mean like normal usa big or japanese big which would be considered average here?

[Flower7]

Big by the standards of any country.

[Asker]

Oh then no surprise, but maybe someone my size wouldn't get quite that reaction, since I wouldn't really call myself "big", just curvy.

[Flower7]

I never saw any curvy Japanese people, but I’m sure you can still enjoy your trip.

I voted no because while YES you would stick out, NOT in a good way because girls don't generally like fat dudes ESPECIALLY NOT in Japan

[Asker]

what?

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

BLOCKED

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

Reported for being offensive and trolling

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

Honestly, I regret answering this question. I thought this was a guy but after seeing the pink in your name I realized this was a girl... I was taking too many meds

[TenkRealist]

Yup you would. Japan is known to be stick thin, unless they are sumo wrestlers.

[Asker]

I figured as much, but since I'm not THAT big I hoped my weight wouldn't seem that strange.
