"so" skinny lolol. I think it's hard to hold an objective standard in that arena unless you were raised in a culture in which 95+% of the population have a normal body-fat percentage.

If we exclude the idols all of the young Japanese women I have seen are thick perhaps even fat. They are definitely not skinny.

im just messing its mostly just the women that get fat because of the culture. they get what they want regardless so they so no point in being in shape. also physical fitness isnt rewarded enough during most american girls school years. if there were more teams for them to join it would fix the problem.
and also american men dont seem to respect healthy women with muscle tone. so only women willing to diet with out enough muscle mass to eat enough calories get truly rewarded in the mainstream culture.

I think most of them are just scared of working out because of the misconception that working out builds 'bulky' muscles. You need to strength train to really get 'bulky', it doesn't just happen on accident.

I've seen a lot of overweight girls that do sports in school so I don't think it would make much of a difference if there were more teams for them or not. I think that American women are getting fatter because there are so many people telling them that it's fine for them to be overweight, which gives them less desire to diet and stay in shape. If you want a girl to lose weight then you have to convince her than men prefer skinny girls. Right now there are a lot of men who say that they don't like skinny girls which encourages women to put on weight to impress those men.

Well i for one DO like a bi of meat on women though exceptions always exist. Now i think the problem has multiple roots root 1 is that people don't exercise and just drive or ride everywhere never really working out as it were and gyms DON'T COUNT they actually make it worse. Root 2 as stated above people ride everywhere but they ALSO rely on things like riding lawnmowers or snow blowers i for one wanna use a push mower sadly i'm stuck with a normal one. Root 3 is that people just can't handle food like they once could i personally seem to have a body that works closer to that of say a man in medieval times or even earlier i eat a VERY high meat diet low carbs and some veggies my gut may stick out somewhat but it seems to be normal for me i weigh on average about 185lbs am 5' 11" all in all fairly nice i NEVER exercise for the sake of exercising there's always another reason and i gain more weight from NOT eating all day than i do from. My point is that people now eat fad diets and starve themselves don't exercise in a way that actually helps and take the fastest/laziest way to do maunal labor. So yeah it's really a mess.

I probably know at most 3 girls near my age that weigh less than me (~115 pounds)
As for the others, I can eat 1.5x more than them, don't hit the gym. The only exercising I do is walk all over Manhattan. As of today, I have never broken 120 pounds

if u are living in an asian dominant society, you are bound to notice an higher percentage of overweight asians.
as for myself, I will say its my metabolism which prevents me from going fat despite my rather excessive diet at times. My peak weight is about 65kg and I'm currently around 50-55kg at best. Height is about 1.8m so you can tell I'm pretty underweight, which has been the case ever since I was 8 years old. I was really overweight as a baby though....
Its great going to buffets and outlasting every single person going with you in a 4 hour foodfest and not having to watch my weight ever single time I eat. My sisters are having this problem and it really sucks

Either I'm blind, or need to get out more. I don't think I've seen overweight Asians in Chinatown.
I haven't been to a buffet in a while, but I do enjoy being able to completely fill my plate multiple times and still have room for other stuff.

I live in a community with a high Hmong population. They're a group of southeast asians that definitely do pack on the pounds...

Sorry when I meant fatty, I meant high in calories, but then again they're generally foods high in fats and sugars I guess.

Nah, the amount of fat we used to take in is incomparable to how much we take in these days.
Processed foods, additives, suger put on suger with some cream on top.
From an evolutionary perspective high calorie foods are comparable to nutritional gold, after all even today there are people who can't be certain that they'll eat tomorrow. We're programmed to desire them on sight. We aren't good at controlling ourselves around such foods either, all it takes is a bit of abstract thinking, and any inhibitions can easily be overcome. That's why modern man is so prone to becoming obese. Stress, depression, lack of self control, short attention spans blah blah..
There's also quite a lot of evidence suggesting that we can literally become addicted to fatty foods. As we eat them, hormones are released in the brain, the type that make you 'happy', in fact I've heard high-fat diets can even mess around with your brain chemistry.
tl;dr Going to go get some Chinese ribs for dinner today, brb.
