Friend saying her (huge) bum is small

338 replies

AIBU to be getting irritated with this and be baffled? She is always saying this to me even though it's HUGE and mine is definitely smaller as she can see... and people always tell her it's big so surely she knows? But she will talk about how it's not big and she needs to start growing it etc (weight training) even though she literally gets comments on it on a regular basis. On one hand maybe she literally can't see how big it is, a lot of women are very critical of their bodies... but to actually say it's small and not big even though she's constantly getting comments on it?!
By the way this isn't a jealousy issue, it just baffles me why she is always saying this to me even though people always say it's big... also the fact mine is definitely smaller but she calls hers small and not big directly to me

I don't think I understand why does it matter?

APatchyTomCat · 09/04/2020 19:17

Why would you give a shit Grin

Waxonwaxoff0 · 09/04/2020 19:17

Attention seeking maybe?

elQuintoConyo · 09/04/2020 19:18

What?

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 09/04/2020 19:18

You both need to grow up. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOSE BEHIND IS BIGGER.

Butterymuffin · 09/04/2020 19:19

I would just nod, smile and agree, for two reasons. Firstly, as above, it doesn't really matter. Secondly, if she really is as delusional as you say she is about it, then nothing anyone says will be believable to her or make any difference. Save your breath.

Err... what?! Do people actually discuss the size of their arses with each other??

Thymelord · 09/04/2020 19:19

You're definitely getting a bum deal in this situation.

Weird how it’s now considered desirable to have a big bum. I spent decades trying to shrink mine.

B0bbin · 09/04/2020 19:19

Why does she want a big bum? Confused she can have mine

HoffiCoffi13 · 09/04/2020 19:19

Hang on... so having a big bum is a good thing and a small one is a bad thing? Since when?
Mind blown!

Sparklesocks · 09/04/2020 19:19

😑

VeryQuaintIrene · 09/04/2020 19:20

How old are you both?

Butterymuffin · 09/04/2020 19:20

Plus, who are all these people directly commenting on it to her? Is this some weirdly harsh support group down at the gym?

CollaborativeBee · 09/04/2020 19:20

Blimey, how competitive! You have entered her in to a ''who has got the smallest bottom'' competition and made yourself the winner. But she doesn't realise she's in the competition.

JoanieCash · 09/04/2020 19:21

I can’t work out if you want a small or a big bum

h3av3n · 09/04/2020 19:21

I just feel like it's the same as if a thin person was saying to a bigger person 'I'm so fat! This size is so huge and fat, I need to lose weight' constantly whilst also constantly being told by people how thin she is... Also the fact she is with me a lot of the time when she gets these comments about it being big and then will go on about it not being big to me

In my head, I read that whole post in Lauren the teenager's voice.

HoffiCoffi13 · 09/04/2020 19:22

CollaborativeBee no I think the competition is ‘who has the biggest bum’... I think that’s seen as the desirable thing!

TheClitterati · 09/04/2020 19:22

My glorious butt could have its own postcode 😂

JeanJackeys · 09/04/2020 19:22

Wtf

sauvignonblancplz · 09/04/2020 19:22

GrinGrinGrinGrin good one .

HoffiCoffi13 · 09/04/2020 19:23

I just feel like it's the same as if a thin person was saying to a bigger person 'I'm so fat!

How is it the same?! Is having a big bum the thing people are aiming for now?
