Default Wasn't Charlene a little too old to be making fun of a guy being

Overweight? Suzanne fixed Chalene up with this guy who was on the Heavy side but she was poking fun at him for being obese and really didn't want to go out with him. Wasn't Charlene supposed to be 35 or older?-lol I can't be her character was so immature about some guy being overweight.

Yes, yes she was immature especially when Charlene wasn't a size six herself!

People do it at every age, so I don't see the big problem, but it doesn't make it right by any means. Also she ended up in a very meaningful relationship with Mason.

They only stayed together for like half of the season, but while watching it, it seems a lot longer. They had a long distance relationship (he moved to Tokyo) that's why you'll never see him again

Either she was supposed to go with him or end the relationship because Long Distance Relationships are a waste of Time

It's not a waste of time. I had a long distance relationship for a year and a half.

She was very tall though, so carried her weight well. I thought she had a terrific figure, the best on the show IMO.

And she wasn't completely immature about it---she felt bad about feeling embarrassed about him, which was a good thing for her.

I wasn't putting her weight down. I was just saying she wasn't Paris Hilton or any other size two female so she would have been the last person making fun of someone. I just find it odd that a woman with her shape who wasn't Mary Jo skinny, would make fun of someone Mason's size. I just thought that was a little pathetic.

Most guys I know found Mary Jo littleness "cute", but Charlene's shapeliness "hot". I don't think nearly as many guys go for the size 2 skinny types as Hollywood would love to make us think...Paris and Lindsay? No thanks.
