Sometimes I see comments sections, and my mind is blown. People just can't stop talking about other people's bodies. It's so fucking weird. They are too fat, too, skinny, hair is too long, too short, definitely had work done, should have work done, too masculine, too feminine, too much makeup, not enough makeup, clothes too slutty, clothes too modest, too young, too old. Aren't people exhausted by this, when it's all so arbitrary? Other people's bodies aren't anyone's business. Why would anyone even care?

@RickiTarr I work in a predominantly female office and I hear it all the time - but in a positive way I guess? The girls will comment on other girls if they've got their hair done or eyelashes or if they've been losing weight, working out, etc. Always positive but I often wonder how it would come off if I (one of the few men in the office) would make those same comments.

I never comment on anyone's body/appearance, regardless if it's positive or not. There are other ways to break-the-ice. I'd like to avoid a meeting with HR :)
