Q: Why are unbearably skinny Chinese girls obsessed with losing weight?
Why is that my skinniest Chinese friends tell me almost everyday they want to lose weight? Is it for real or just to impress?
the same like western girls ...
some are obsessed, some not, some just say they are - to show off
Yes, and some Chinese gals refer to themselves as being fat when they really aren't. I
would say to them "you look fine." ^^
I don't know but this afternoon I went into a shop to buy a drink. A lady working in the shop had a T-shirt on with "I love marijuana (heart representing the word love)". I looked at it and couldn't help smirking.
Although she was as skinny as a broom handle, she thought I was smirking at her body weight. She rubbed her belly then told me in Chinese that she intends losing weight.
I told her the real reason why I laughed and the look of embarrassment on her face was legendary!
