Secret Confessions

[Edited Because I Fracking Can]

Welcome to the Secret Confessions thread. Beyond the pure anonymity of the internet, there lies a certain level of understanding behind all the accounts here on FF. The SC account carries burden of allowing the user to give a candid, private confession with (hopefully) understanding feedback. The SC thread is for other posters to give kind and/or helpful advice, words of empathy, or a secret of their own (under the SC name or not).

This account is a group account, and EVERYONE needs to treat it respectfully. By posting under the Secret Confessor, you are pledging to refrain from hate mail, "finger-pointing", insulting and being a jerkface. By posting in the SC thread, you are pledging to keep the comments respectful. This has not yet been a problem, but it's nice to have written down "just in case".

If you would like to use the SC account for ANY reason beside posting in this thread, please PM me- even if it's under the SC name (this is not to exert authority, but to maintain order over a very accessible account).

Thank you!

No, they are not. "Average" is determined mathematically, by looking for a typical range amongst all the unites of a group. "Normal" is a sociological distinction, based off of a subjective perception of one's environment. For example, if someone lets go of an object in space, it floats. While mathematically this is average, subjectively it's not normal.

[Secret Confessor]

What's truly average, then? Mathematically, I guess.

[EndOfTheEarth]

Mathematically you have the bell curve, which lands you with the 50% woman mentioned above. However, as shown in crash dummy construction, here are the dimensions for a 50 percentile adult female:

I'd look for ones that have adolescent girls, but because they are still growing, you can't accurately predict, chart, or measure anything. Until you're a finished product, judging is quite nonsensical. I recall seeing one of these for a 50% thirteen year old female in a GM sketch in Disney's Test Track, but I can't find the dimensions online.

Oh, jeez.

*has ridiculous sizes for everything*

Don't feel awkward. Really. Or self conscious.

Jean - 10, 12, 14, and 16 long. Depending on make and time of year (revolving around basketball season), though I think my mom stole my 16s a year or two back. Basketball shorts are mens small, though.

I don't wear dresses, so I don't even know how these are categorized. Shirts, though, I'm large/XL in the not-womens sections, and Medium/Large otherwise. (The size thing. . . . I've no idea. My mom generally picks out a size, then I go one-two bigger. . . )

Bra - I definitely go to Costco, and get large. Normal sizes with non-sports. . . .I kinda just have my mom do, too. *coughs* *doesn't have time to go shopping* I think I have several different Bs and Cs in my drawer, though.

Shoes - I haven't worn womens shoes in years. They aren't made well in my size, and are generally uncomfortable. >.> Not to mention stores rarely carry above a 12, and my foot will not fit into those, and I never plan ahead. Mens 11-13 depending on type (trainer or basketball).

So. . . . yeah. Pretty sure I beat you with awkward sizes. Don't worry in the least. I've seen pics of nearly everyone here, and you're all gorgeous.

[Secret Confessor]

I'm bigger than you in jeans, smaller than you in shoes... I'm all over the place. *so weird*

Thanks, though, really. And you're not awkward, I don't see what's wrong with those sizes.

[Lamp Post]

Everyone's different. And generally there's something that's seemingly out of place or odd with everyone in at least one of their sizes.

Everyone's smaller than me in shoes. *huge feet and short* So don't let yourself use that to compare anything. XD

[Secret Confessor]

True... but everyone's sizes seem to go together somewhat, you know? Nobody's a 2 here and then a 20 here... they all go together.

[Megan (Fishy)]

Don't compare yourself to any of us too much. Seeing where you stand is fine; thinking you need to be the same size as me or whoever else decides to post is ridiculous and unhealthy. You have a different height, weight, age and body type than me, so don't use any of this as a judge...

Jeans - 7 juniors, comfortably, 4-6 women's. I can fit in a 5, but they're tighter, and 9's fit until an hour later when they stretch and fall down.

Dress - 5, or 'small' if it's not by numbers. If you're buying the nice dresses by the bust/hip/waist ratio, no clue.

Bra - Measured 32C, but 34B's way more comfortable for me.

Shoes - 7, sometimes 8.

T-shirts/tank-tops - small/medium, depending.

[Secret Confessor]

You're so average...

How tall are you?

[Lamp Post]

She's like, nearly exactly average height, too.

[Secret Confessor]

o.O I see that. I wanna be that normal.

[Lamp Post]

No you don't. XD Normal is boring. And life is easier for taller people.

Unless you're into riding, racing, gymnastics, ice skating, etc, etc, etc.
