My wife Is Japanese... When we met she weighed 45 kg (99 lbs), and was (is) 163 cm (5'4"). She now ,7 years later, weighs 57 kg (126 lbs). She thinks she is morbidly obese. I constantly assure her she is still on the thin side of normal. She visits her family in Tokyo every spring and upon returning she tells me that she might be thin here (USA) but in Japan she is SOOOO much larger than all the other women... SOOOO I was thinking about getting her this T Shirt.... Should I ?!?
She has a GREAT sense of humor...

Update: the shirt has been ordered, should have it in a week or so!

If I know any one thing about women, it'd be this. Never, ever mention their weight unless you want to make them mad at you.

Also, weight isn't as taboo a subject in Japan as it is here in the united states.

Now that is just plain wrong - if anything it is more tabooed in Japan, since they dont have a mu sooky knees-movements over there.. Almost all Japanese girls are having problems with their weight..

As a woman, I second this comment. Women never find it funny when their significant other insinuates that they're large. You could risk it, you know her better than I.

She might not take it that way though, and it sounds like she's already sensitive about her weight; even though you know she's not fat, she thinks she is. You don't want to accidentally confirm her beliefs in her head.

Like I said, if you think she'll find it funny, that's your call. I'm just pre-warning you what might happen, as a girl who's sensitive about her weight. When my boyfriend jokes, I die inside. Good luck with it though, I think it's kinda funny ;)

Is it really a self esteem issue?

A petite framed girl who gains TWENTY SEVEN POUNDS, without getting taller, isn't IMAGINING that she is fat.

No, she isn't morbidly obese....but she is heading that direction. That's 4 pounds per year that she is packing on. That's her issue, not her self esteem.

We give each other prank gifts like this all the time, she has actually seen the shirt before at one of those mall t-shirt stores, where she pointed it out to me and laughed as she said..."Haha, just like me!"

Dude don't be an asswhipe. I had a really fat friend at my university, and even tho he had self esteem issues but he would still go around joking about himself being 'an ugly fat piece of ***** . But in reality it tore him apart.

If your wife shows that she is afraid of being too large you should support her rather than pushing. She might act like it's funny to cover it up, but she could very well still be afraid.

Look, when you're insecure about something, you try to joke about it/laugh it off so other people can't see how it affects you. I'm not saying you can't ever joke with each other or anything, but it's pretty obvious from the stuff that she's said to you that this is something that deeply bothers her. If you give her a gift like that, I feel that it would communicate to her that you either don't understand how deep of an issue this is for her, or you don't care about it in the first place.

Again, really not trying to be a humorless jerk here or anything. But I've struggled with insecurity my whole life simply because I've got a father who refuses to affirm me in any way. When I joke about something I'm insecure about, deep down, what I'm really hoping is that someone will look me in the eyes and say "Hey, don't sell yourself short like that. I'll be by your side no matter how badly you think that you've messed up." But nobody ever does that, because nobody knows me well enough to see how big of an issue it is for me. And so we laugh, and while externally I'm relieved that they don't see how my failure affects me, internally, I die a little because they don't care.

You've got a chance here to affirm someone who's insecure about something that's not even unhealthy, just a failure to live up to what her culture would consider normal. Don't throw that away.

You can always give the t-shirt and another gift you are sure she likes ice cream or chocolate may not be really good ideas just in case she doesn't like it.

uh i guess that depends on your relationship with her and what she's like.

if she can take a joke and you two are super close, which i'm assuming you are, i don't see any harm in getting her the shirt.

but if it's something that is really really bothering her i might think of something else before the shirt especially if she a little more on the serious side. or at least get her something with the shirt, you know like chocolate and flowers or something.

but hey what do i know, im a kissless beta faggot living on funnyjunk. godspeed.

obviously. cuz that's the point of the shirt. you know what nah. you can go ahead and white knight if you want.

i clearly stated that him getting or not getting the shirt is based on a few things as well as saying im no expert in the matter.

but at the end of the day, it's more aimed at being a lighthearted joke. not some topic that people should act like they know about and make assumptions as to how his wife feels. unless of course, you're his wife.

make sure they're lowcal chocolates please don't do that chocolates may not be a good idea because of the stigma around eating treats, flowers do well because they remind her you care regardless. The best thing you keep doing your job as a husband and make her feel beautiful, and forego the shirt until a point where she's more confident and can laugh at it Plan B (for best): take her lifting so that she becomes a strong Nord woman that Japan can't stand the sight of, and she then wears the shirt proudly

she'll laugh, I'm sure
but it will still hurt on the inside

what you could do is buy her that as a joke gift, alongside a secret real-gift she'll absolutely love.
then you get your joke in, she laughs, and then she forgets all about it once she's cheered up with the second gift. plus she'll associate the shirt with the positive experience of the special gift.

make it a super-special gift tho
something personal, something you know she'll scream compulsively when she sees (spiders don't count)

even if she laughs, under the humour you really think it'll help? Having your significant other put a spotlight on you being self-conscious of your weight, (which women take far more seriously)
