Best thing I've ever seen online

"Top 10 Subtle Ways to Tell Her She's Getting Fat" via AskMen.com
What with the economy in a downward spiral and all, God Forbid our eating habits should sink to fattening, inexpensive lows.
(All you anonymous commenters who are convinced I am a secret fattie, be damned!)
Seriously, WTF? It's all about shaming and humiliating your girlfriend (who probably is already well aware of extra poundage and has most likely spent 97% of her adult waking hours contemplating her size, thx a lot asshole). Complete with pictures of both Hot and Not girlfriends, the list is the perfect way for any sadist jerk to flex those paternalistic muscles to subtly change his girlfriend. Who wouldn't want tips to increase the value of their goods? Some of the suggestions include:
-Serve her smaller portions, because "by making her ask for more food, you might succeed in shaming her into an acknowledgment of her recent weight gain."
-"Playfully grab her love handles"
-"Plan a romantic night out for the two of you and insist that she wears something from when you first got together; particularly something that you know doesn’t fit her anymore." (I can think of no better way to ruin a "romantic night.")
-"Take her to places where she has to wear a swimsuit."
-The absolute best:
"You might not be proud of stooping to this level, but nothing says “better lose some weight” like a broken chair. After you loosen a few screws or remove some important slats of a chair in which you know she’ll sit and subsequently break, sit back and watch the guaranteed dietary transformation that ensues. It will profoundly amaze you."

there's something disgustingly hysterical about that list. would actually following through with any of those prove a guys disgust, or just their concern with the weight gain and no other way to communicate that concern? what's also interesting is that most of the males I have talked to on the subject say they like girls with a little curvature. Yes, runway models are pretty to look at, but biologically men (usually) are attracted to women who look healthy and can bare children (even if they don't WANT children). But, maybe all these males were just lying to me because I'm secretly grotesquely obese.
