I'm convinced the people who say this are either jealous women and/or men who haven't seen a woman outside of anime or porn.

How the fuck could you possibly think thats not a skinny person??? Its like all it takes is for a woman to lean forward or backwards and they're fat or skinny, look at her arm, if it was any skinnier she couldnt hold the microphone

u/Novae224 4d ago

Indeed, she’s just healthy

The “skinny” 1989 era this person is talking about Taylor said she’d feel like she was gonna pass out on stage cause she wasn’t eating

u/artificialseed 4d ago

Yeah I guess this guy wants a woman who is so nutrient deficient she cant see the bullshit hes spouting daily

u/ShowMeYourMinerals 4d ago

This is awkward. The OP is actually a girl from tic toc lmfao

u/EyeWriteWrong 4d ago

Yep. I checked too but the phrasing screams teenage girl, not creepy guy.

u/Erotic_Platypus 4d ago

Teenage girl without enough gyne fat cause she hasn't lived long enough for the estrogen to do it's thing yet .. Body that still looks like my 15 y/o boy self.

u/artificialseed 4d ago

Yeah I guess this woman wants other women so nutrient deficient that they cant see the bullshit shes spouting daily, still works lol

Internalized misogyny is real. Alive and well and among us.

u/march_hare8 4d ago

why is that awkward?

4

u/ShowMeYourMinerals 4d ago

“Yeah this guy” in the comment I was responding to.

Blaming it on an insecure guy when it’s really a teenage girl is hilarious

-2

u/ididntunderstandyou 4d ago

Not hilarious, not awkward. It’s just sad that anyone, woman or man is behaving like a sexist neckbeard

I think the humour is in the irony

u/ShowMeYourMinerals 4d ago

You should tell us how you really feel.

u/SteelTerps 4d ago

You could have stopped after "I guess this guy wants a woman" because clearly he's never getting them

u/codytranum 4d ago

At Taylor’s height and weight she could eat 2000 calories a day without any change in weight over time and that’s not counting the hundreds of calories she burns performing. Please don’t perpetuate the narrative that you need to starve in order to lose weight. That exact ideology is what causes eating disorders to develop.

2

u/Bebebaubles 4d ago

Taylor did say she didn’t like her thinnest self because she knew she shouldn’t feel like she wanted to pass out after a concert.

u/Pisforplumbing 4d ago

What is the 1989 era? That just sounds like the year she was born

13

u/Novae224 4d ago

She released an album called 1989 (indeed named after the year she was born), the time around that album, promoting it, performing it, just that being her most recent album at the time is the era of that album

u/Pisforplumbing 4d ago

Ahh gotcha. I was thinking she had an eating disorder straight out of the womb. Thanks for explaining

u/Gal-XD_exe 4d ago

I actually have a friend that’s

  1. Older than me

And

  1. Can’t hold one of those handheld grocery baskets when full

Because of how small she is

14

u/biest229 4d ago

I can’t hold a full basket 😭 don’t hate on the weak

3

u/Gal-XD_exe 4d ago

Ain’t no hate, I’ll hold that basket for you

u/biest229 4d ago

I appreciate you

u/biest229 3d ago

To explain - I’m 5’2” and like 97lbs. I’m just built tiny, my frame is tiny, my muscles are tiny too

2

u/briangraper 4d ago

What does her age have anything to do with it?

0

u/Gal-XD_exe 4d ago

More time to grow I guess? Idk I’m not really sure just trying to establish a mental scene

3

u/briangraper 4d ago

Nobody can see you when you’re typing. We don’t know hold small you are.

0

u/Gal-XD_exe 4d ago

Alright fair point

Let’s say my wrist is two inches wide by about one inch thick

I can wrap my fingers around my wrist barely

However on my friends wrist I can touch thumb and pointer with room to spare, like I could fit a quarter or dime into the extra space

That’s how small her arms are

2

u/briangraper 4d ago

I can do the same on my wife. And she can carry at least 50 lbs per hand for a while.

Anyway, I get what you’re trying to say. Your friend is small and weak. Maybe she should start training.

1

u/Gal-XD_exe 4d ago

Everyone built different yea

Maybe she should start doing some training

u/Lymion 4d ago

Can you lick your elbow tho?

u/just_some_guy65 4d ago

I am not for a moment suggesting there is anything wrong with Taylor Swift and she is absolutely by any normal standards thin but she is not remotely emaciated.

11

u/artificialseed 4d ago

Yeah I didnt mean she was either just that if she actually was much thinner as the post is suggesting she would be

u/just_some_guy65 4d ago edited 4d ago

Put her into a crowd photo from the 1970s featuring women in their 20s and 30s and although tall, she would look the same size as most of them. In the intervening years our brains have been reprogrammed to see obesity as normal and anything less than obese as slim.

Edit: If only downvoting me reversed the obesity epidemic. Try putting on the running shoes instead.

u/Useful-Zucchini9032 4d ago

Redditors will always have a very distorted idea of what skinny actually is.

It's surprisingly easy to be overweight. You probably wouldn't consider yourself overweight if you were. God knows a lot of people will start calling you anorexic just because you are thinner than them.

u/LatterSeaworthiness4 4d ago

Bro I’m 5’7” and 135 pounds (right in the middle of healthy range in the BMI chart) and people act like I’m wasting away. If you put me in the 70s or 80s I’d actually be bigger than the average woman in her 20s-30s. I remember when Kevin James on the King of Queens was considered comically fat in the 90s. Today he looks like the average guy.

u/just_some_guy65 4d ago

A few years ago I saw it said that the average woman's weight in USA was the same as the average American man in the 1960s

u/just_some_guy65 4d ago

Let me try:

Unless you actively build muscle every day then BMI will give a very good idea. Underweight starts at a BMI of under 18.5

A problem with the word "skinny" is it has no definition, I have heard people refer to people I can see have visible fat rolls as skinny. This is why objective measurement is the only way.

u/DaEpicBob 4d ago

theres western normal skinny than theres asian skinny...

u/UnlikelyDecision9820 4d ago

Yeah, I think TS has a pretty thin frame and the difference between the appearance of a flat stomach is the difference between engaging the core and tilting the pelvis. It’s kinda obvious that that is a candid, unposed shot, so it makes sense that her stomach shows. That’s it.

u/rjcarr 4d ago

And isn’t she wearing like 10 layers for her concert to do wardrobe changes? I think that’s at least part of it.
