My husband has described me as “peanut-shaped” and I am OK with that one!

[...] it’s all sitting right in my waiste and hips making me look bigger than I am. You should never describe a woman’s body as a fruit, so I’ll use a vegetable and say I’m eggplant shaped. Not [...]

At least you didn’t say “She has some serious junk in her trunk and is as flat as a pancake…. But I she has a good personality!”

A friend of mine described me as pear shaped recently. To my face even. Without a shred of humor. He’s one of those guys who “is always honest.”

Donkey, I hope more men read this post and see that honesty isn’t always called for. His “honest” comment made me self-conscious for weeks afterwards. Because he’s such an “honest” guy, with no sugar coating, I thought he was right. Men, don’t describe women who you love, or who you want to keep as a friend, by a fruit shape.

Instead of buying her clothes, get the gift certificate and let her know you have a planned day with the kids so she can shop in peace and quiet and you save yourself any aggrevation…you stay out of trouble and you might even get some serious points for thinking ahead!

I’ve been known to describe other women as looking like “a butternut squash.”

I suppose a woman would only look like a banana if she were very thin and had scoliosis?
