Move out of this apartment you dumbass. You are getting addicted to this bullshit drama and it is making you hate yourself. Move. Out. Run and never look back.
Honey, resenting her isn't going to make you any cuter or thinner and it certainly isn't going to help her get healthier. It just makes you a fat asshole.
i'll skip the preaching, i think anyone who reads your complaining will come to the same conclusion.
are you on MTV by the way?
Which begs the question, was he really so ignorant or was he concerned that his secret tryst with the skinny roommate might have resulted in pregnancy and instead of her being mentally ill, she had morning sickness.
The plot thickens....to find out the truth turn into Jerry Springer tomorrow at 9 and then stab yourself in the ear with a sharp pencil.

It sucks to watch your friend doing that to themselves no matter what your weight is, and the positive reinforcement that people get for their eating disorders is just as disturbing.
BTW, Nerdherder -- no one can say definitively "what men want." Turns out men, like women, are individuals, with individual preferences. Some like curvy, some like skinny, some like fat, some have very flexible tastes, world without end, amen.
Nor can one categorically say that "women" worry too much about their weight. Some women worry about weight, some don't, some try to please men, some don't, and so on. That individuality thing again, ya know.
Get to know some women, as individuals. If you don't care for them, get to know some others. It sounds like you've often heard women described, but never actually met any.
speaking for myself as a guy who's attracted to women, I want female bodies. too-skinny chicks are body-identical to 13 year old boys.
And since i'm not attracted to boys, this doesn't work for me.
pork up, ladies! don't be afraid to pack it on a bit. more cushin' for the pushin' as they say.
Ummm, yeah I realize that both men and women are all individuals, and that I can't speak for the entire human race, male or female. When did it become necessary to spell out every detail and cater to every insecurity of the interwebs? I was speaking in general terms. Duh-I know not every man wants a woman with curves, I do believe most appreciate the female body with curves. I even appreciate all female body types, does that surprise you??
Yeah, you're right, I've never met a woman, ever, because I'm insensitive and don't write out every possible situation that a man or woman does or doesn't do, prefer's or doesn't care for. I assume that most who read the Stranger are of average intelligence, can deduce for themselves and don't need their hand to be held. You sorta seem like a troll, are you?

Can you figure out which one you are?
I say that definitively.
I could not have said it better!
How many have you ever met women that really looked like that? When women talk/bitch about "skinny" women, they're talking about slender, hard-bodied women -- which most men, on average, do like. Prepubescent-looking Skeletors are pretty rare in real life, and frankly, other women find it easiest to dump on them *because* they don't have breasts or ass. It's the toned, fit women that threaten their self-image.
Talking about how you like women "with" curves, "with" butts and breasts, just comes off as silly. The majority of women have both -- but we still decide which ones look good and which don't, because hey, they're not all created equal. There are good curves and bad curves. We end up telling a woman to eat a sandwich while turning around and telling another one to work hers off.
Let's all knock it off and stop trying to sound more enlightened and magnanimous than we really are.
Why should we do that? Isn't this a forum for expressing opinions and shit-talking and crap like that?
Will you mary me? Couldn't have said it better myself. :)

I am you as you are me together in the infinite oneness. And bitches with big butts are hot.
You need to set aside your extreme irritation and whatever issues you have with her and your own weight for a little while. Your friend is seriously ill and needs your help and support.
I had a friend who dumped me during a low point of my ED because he "couldn't handle how irrational" I was. After I recovered, he came back for awhile, and I should have told him to go shove it. People who can't see past a potentially deadly illness (especially because of petty jealousy!) need to wake up and go find two therapists - one for them, and one for their friend.
How he can actually type is amazing.....
m a litte fat but shape up nicely with weight training. I married this lady because she's stable and hard working and nurturing. I think women with a little meat on them are very sexy. I love mounting up and staring at my wife's ass, I wish it was bigger! Scawny women are gross, I'd rather screw a cute gay twink.
You are so deep into roommate's shit that you're mistaking it for your own. Read back over your own post here, and then ask yourself where you got the idea you're even friends with this person... You yourself say she's sick, but you hate on her, blame her, and plot to hurt her.
You are in a toxic frame of mind, and would be doing both of you a favor by just moving out and moving on.
you both need a therapist if you'd rather bitch anonymously to the stranger then help a friend with an eating disorder. she's not going to help herself, it takes people who care, she's too sick to realize on her own. clearly you don't give a flying fuck. move out and let her build a relationship with someone who might.
I'm not chubby - I used to be edge around ED land myself and so being around her and staying healthy is really difficult.
She just drives me up the wall and it's not from a lack of understanding at all. It hurts and it sucks and I did all I could for her for while, but you can't help someone who doesn't want help.
You still have to live your own life.
Also - folks who are so much shit to say about the anonymous author, you try living with, not a roommate, not a friend, but an eating disorder, and see how long you act a saint.
It's hard. Worth doing for as long as you can, as long as the friend actually wants your help, but still hard.
just because its "hard" doesn't make it acceptable to be angry at someone for having a psychological disorder. and notice she never mentions any sort of conversation or help she's offered. if she doesn't want to help, then she needs to move out and move on.
all of us have been in unhealthy living situations, i'm sure. it's a fact of life. in the end, you have two choices. help someone you care about to get better, or stop caring, move out, and move on with your life. being angry at someone for a having a mental disorder doesn't help anyone.
Aren't we shit-talking now? I think me commanding you to talk a certain way counts as an opinion, as shit-talk and crap like that, right?
I think she'd be better off if you moved out.
First, what men care about is largely incidental and not relevant when discussing eating disorders. Eating disorders are about control and power, not a misguided understanding of what men want. The assumption that making it clear what they want will really come to bear on the issue is confused. Second, stating that women who look this way or that (too skinny, scrawny, "like boys," etc) are unattractive, gross, or sick, is not more enlightened or better in any way than saying "fat chicks suck." It's the same shit fundamentally, and nobody is really as concerned about the satisfaction of your dick as you are. "What men want" is not some universally important thing that requires constant reporting.
