If you click on the "explaination" link it takes you to a link where you can vote if you think she is sexy or not.
FWIW, when i voted 60% say she is sexy, which is more than think she is fat <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think she is beautiful.

amazing isnt it? I wonder what the ages are of those who think she is fat. Geesh.

Ok, I am not a small person. I am considered over-weight. I look good, but could (in truth) stand to loose some weight. The model is also over-weight. It is obvious. Doesn't mean she isn't pretty or sexy as the experiment proved. I voted that I thought she was fat, why because she is over-weight. I didn't like the choices I had to vote, fat or not. It isn't that simple. But voting fat was more truthfull than voting not, as much as it pained me.

Diat, by what standard is she fat? Today's standards make her fat (to some people), which not necessarily the truth.

I think the really real issue here is that Fat is considered a bad thing...in the form of a word or a human or anything else for that matter...THAT is is the problem---in a society where a two digit size renders you "Large" well...

My neice manages a store for size 12W to 26W...I asked her where her "fat broad store was" and she(who is about a 22 went nuts)...I suggested she get over it. She says she is "big boned" I am about a 20(down from a tight 24) and I can say I am FAT w/o a problem...I also can say I am the B word w/o a problem as I am what I am and I have NO problem with it...

By the body fat index. I am not saying she needs to have 2% body fat not even close or even 10%. But looks like to me she has higher, and I should know because I have higher. I am only talking clinically. I agree with Roni. So what she has higher body fat index, so what. Obviously she is sexy and attractive. It is high time we stop equating fat with ugly. Also, fat is subjective. I tried to be as clinical and objective as possible when answering the survey.

I think she's fat. And I'm 34, in answer to moodymoonchild's question.
