D'ya like yer new names?
Now guys are being classified into body quirky shapes — all in good Christmas spirit
Always thought it funny that women are classified into fruity (think apple shape, pear shape) body shapes? Well, men aren't exceptions to such categorisations any longer either. In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, an international study revealed that men fall into four body shape categories — Christmas pudding, Yule log, parsnip or candle! Cracking up already? Well, we did too. And so did the celebs in the city.
It took a good two minutes for actor Arya Babbar to compose himself at the mention of these shapes for men. "I'd really like to know which category I fall into. I don't understand how a man can look like pudding. Does that mean yummy? We guys classify women into apple or pear shape, maybe because they remind us of that certain shape. But Yule log...parsnip? That's really hilarious. Thanks for cracking me up," he continues laughing.
The study cites names and says that Yule log men have shoulders and waist roughly the same width. Count TV presenter Jon-athan Ross, X Factor host Dermot O'Leary in that category. The traditional Christmas pudding shape is represented by those carrying too much weight around their mid-section. Comedian James Corden falls in this category. And around a fifth are tall and thin, resembling a Christmas candle like footballer Peter Crouch. Also, about eight per cent resemble a parsnip, with broad shoulders and thin legs that includes soccer star David Beckham!
Actor and TV show host Vivan Bhatena jokes, "It's ridiculous, objectifying men... It's a very girly way of classifying us. I'm sure some girl only must have come up with this kind of a classification to take a dig at us, men. In no way is any guy going to come up to a girl and say, 'Hey, you know I'm pudding shape!'" Tell Vivan and Arya that they might resemble the parsnip shape and they laugh some more!
The study also said men struggle the most to find clothes that fit them in all the right places. TV actor Angad Hasija thinks this sort of a classification would be very embarrassing for any guy. Model-actor Anchal Kumar finds it all too strange. "Who refers to a guy's body shape in those terms? It's really funny! But I guess now women can discuss men's shapes in jest behind their back, just like guys do about us," she winks.
