What it's REALLY saying to me..

You have a rounder, softer body type. It's our polite way of saying you're fat!!! It's difficult for you to lose weight. Get off your butt fat-ass, eat some celery and go for a walk..

Endomorphs are known for being friendly, generous, and warm. Because you're fat..

It's likely that you're a relaxed person who enjoys good times, good people, and good food. You five toad sloth!!!

You are warm and affectionate. You provide comfort to others and crave it for yourself. At least you get off your ass enough to seek out people.. fatty! :crybaby

So basically what this thing is telling us is that thin people are brilliant, and fat people are loving? I have a few things to say about that, but will remain silent.

Actually it has a lot to do with height, too. Tall people are usually ectomorphs and short people are usually endomorphs regardless of current weight, so it's biased against short people as well.

And I refuse to take this.

ROFL! Don't be so hard on yourself, you've been at least dropping pounds and making progress and you're on your way (trust me, I'm not the only person who's noticed)! FIGHT the fat!

And hey, mine said that I'm lean, and we all know that not to be true atm .

And me...? Brilliant? Yeah, defiantly verifies that this internet quiz is bullshit.

Tall people burn more calories resting than short people (Basal Metabolic Rate) and I'll agree with that scientifically, but that doesn't mean that just because your short you have to be fat. If you eat right and get at least 45 minutes of exercise a day, five days a week, it takes care of that. My ex bff, Rachel, was 4'8" and was a lean mean muscle machine whereas I was 5'9" and DEFINATELY the endomorph in the relationship because I made up excuses as to why I didn't exercise (was "too hard", "didn't like it", my body wasn't "right for exercise", etc, whatever other excuse could be made up to avoid it) and ate what I wanted. All boils down to numbers and math in the end...

The whole "tall people are built to be slender and lean and short people are naturally round and stout" is a HUGE misconception, that for a while, many people bought into until it was proved otherwise.

That was the point I was trying to make, that the whole "endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph" thing (I read an article about it years ago) is based on the concept that tall people are meant to be slim and intelligent and short people are meant to be round and friendly. I didn't express very well that I don't buy into that. I've always gone into the ectomorph category, and I've never been "slim". Even when I was a size 8 I was still (curvy, voluptuous, or whatever other adjective you want to use that means lots of curves, but not fat).

Really, though, I don't mean to sound so worked up about it. It is just a quiz, I just don't like that particular generalization, I guess.

No no, you didn't sound worked up, I just wanted to make sure that you didn't buy into the olden day misconception that you described. No worries .

Curvy always throws me off as a descriptor because most bigger girls will use it to describe themselves, somehow incinuating that skinny girls aren't curvy (when usually we are more so), and is almost always used as a boost and in many cases by those who shouldn't even be using it (i.e. those without curves, regardless of whether they're thicker or slender). So since it doesn't really mean shit as a descriptor, and I've seen round (not curvy) girls use it on themselves, and thinner and actually curvier girls forgo using it thinking that it meant that you were bigger, I usually use the words "thick" or "slender" when describing body type.

For some reason though, I've noticed that "fat" is now a three letter swear-word to thicker girls...odd, because I've always thought of "thicker" meaning the same thing, but to each his own. It's like how midgets now prefer to be called "little people", I mean that's not going to get mean kids and ignorant people to stop making fun of them...they'll just start making "little people" jokes instead of "midget" jokes.

This might sound like trying to be kiss up but it the truth. All of the above comments have some really good points.

I am so happy that Dove is taking a stand and having that campaign that beauty comes in all different styles. I was sad when I heard that Figure Magazine (a magazine for plus size women) is going to be canceled. It was nice to see models with bodies like mine. Anyway, a few months ago (I think), this magazine did an interview with actress Camryn Manheim. I normally do not paid attention to entertainment stuff, but I respect and admire Camryn Manheim for I feel she good role model for plus size gals. Anyway, in this article Manheim mention about being a healthy plus size gal. I know some people do not like the term plus size, so I am sorry for that.
