Re: Traditionally, what body type was considered idea in the different cultures?
LP, I think so too. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s a diff b/w the Punjabis and the rest…where the former prefer the hatta-katta look?
Cuz I was told often that I looked “kamzor.” But meh…it could just be the strange thought process of some of my relos that never lets a person win. If you out on a few pounds…you’re fat…if you lose weight…it’s “haaw haaye maari…kamzor…etc.” And if you are thin but lighter-skinned…you will be seen as “healthier” than the one who is thin and darker skinned. Also, one is not supposed to mind the comments because they are said out of concern and “behtri/bhalai.” But strangely the ones freely dishing out the remarks are less tolerant of receiving the same comments.
