	MrPedantic  +  126290 Fri, 12 Aug 05 11:58 AM Dear Anon If someone said to me, "MrP, you're looking fatter than ever!", I would be quite surprised, but I don't suppose I'd mind that much. (I am male. Well, I was 20 minutes ago, anyway. I doubt whether much has changed since then.) MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 12,592 ...opella forensis / adducit febris...

	The_Star  +  127140 Mon, 15 Aug 05 07:32 AM For me, I wouldn't mind if anyone say that to me. I wouldn't be embarrased at all. But if we say it to a female, maybe most of them will get mad ^^ I am male, 18 years old, Indonesia. The_Star Joined on Mon, Aug 15 2005 Indonesia New Member 31

	Maeve27  +  127149 Mon, 15 Aug 05 08:39 AM No, I'd jump for joy :o) See, I think I am really thin and no matter how much I eat I don't gain weight. So if someone said that to me, it would be good news :o) But I guess if you say that to a woman who thinks of herself as fat and unhappy about it, then I guess she'll be offended. I'm female.

	Pyewacket  +  128989 Sat, 20 Aug 05 07:29 PM If a native speaker said that to me, I would think they were rude. If a non-native speaker said it, I would think that he/she was ignornant of proper social etiquette. Depending on the situation, both individuals may get a equally rude comment back. I would be offended by this comment because I'm a health nut and very athletic (not because I'm fat and unhappy). pye Pyewacket Joined on Wed, Jul 13 2005 Northern California, USA Junior Member 67 "The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." -- Henry Miller

	Woodward  +  131120 Sat, 27 Aug 05 02:59 AM I'd have no problem if anyone said that to me. In fact, I would probably be happy since I need to put on some weight.
