What is your opinion OT on Overweight/ fat people

[QUOTE="Barbariser"]In terms of physical attractiveness, it's almost impossible for me to be attracted to a girl if she doesn't have a relatively flat belly. I don't know why, they could have a nice face, nice legs and nice tracts of land but if their midriffs are even remotely bulgy then the soldier does not stand at attention.chasingmaynard

I'm in my 30's so I may have missed some newer lingo, but what do you mean by "nice tracts of land"...?

Some gender-specific features on a female's upper body.

Depends I don't judge them because it is their choice unless they are too lazy too get fit and whine about being fat all the time

Cool. I was hoping you would respond, lol.

fat people are doing it wrong. They should wear more clothes, not less. As many clothes as they can get. Ski jackets, robes, you name it. Even in summer.Allicrombie

I find the lack of disrespect in this thread surprising. Usually these threads are full of people mocking or insulting them. I'm fat, I have a hard time losing weight (bad metabolism) and hate that "skinny" is considered "normal" and "healthy." I weigh 280 lbs currently, and can actually jog a fair distance without getting winded.foxhound_fox

[QUOTE="EasyStreet"]Sorry but being skinny is always going to considered health not sure about normal. It takes work to maintain being skinny. Gluttony is a choice.

Obviously they are the cause of it, you don't get fat if you don't eat. TBH i don't care about them, i do what i do and they do what they do.markop2003

I still don't get how people can get so fat, I do get full too easily and I actually exercise though.

Being slightly chubby or having some extra fat, no problem at all. Being so fat that you take extra seat on a buss, sweat a lot and watching how that fat person orders a huge meal with a huge soda. Yeah, no sympathy there. If you have to eat all the time, at least eat healthy home made food. Like chicken breasts, tuna sandwiches, etc.

As someone with chronic anorexia, being underweight is no fun ether. I have very low energy levels, and hardly any immune system at all. Allicrombie

I have no problem with fat people but I just hate it when their groin area looks like its been inflated. lonewolf604

Overweight people don't affect my day to day activities so I don't really have a problem with them as a whole.

It's the overweight people who choose to eat fast food for every meal and sit on their couch for 24 hours a day doing nothing and then complain about it afterwards that bother me.

I'm indifferent.

I have no problem with anyone who is overweight. Why should it matter?

I wouldn't date one, but I have no problem with them lol.

Overweight girls are hard to look at. I could care less about the guys.

I don't have any (major) issues with fat people.

Same here. I just don't like the people who are always ****ing talking about it.

Like, if you're fat, then fine. I've got nothing against you, I just don't want to freaking hear you complaining about it all the time. Do you know what's a bigger turnoff than being fat? Being someone who's always complaining about ****. And I'm not talking about the occasional venting, I'm talking about the people ALWAYS complaining.

"Oh no, I'm too poor."

"Woe is me, I'm so sad because I'm fat."

Those people honestly just need to shut up. Because, we've ALL got problems. But most people are courteous enough to avoid whining about their problems all the freaking time, because they realize that that is annoying to everyone else. If Joe is constantly crying to me about his problems, then he's making his problem MY problem. It suddenly becomes my problem too because I have to listen to that ****. And you know what? That's messed up. I've already got enough problems of my own, and you don't hear me complaining about them all the time.

So yeah...fat people are okay. I just don't want to constantly hear them crying about how they can't lose weight, and I don't want to constantly hear them complaining about how other people are looking down on them because they're fat. I don't want to hear them whine about how people don't like them because they're fat. I like them DESPITE the fact that they're fat, and then they're about to ruin that by constantly complaining about **** every time I talk to them.

Also, people who are proud of being fat. I used to know this one dude who just LOVED how fat he was. I'd see him and say, "hello, how are you?" And he'd proudly proclaim, "I'm FAT!"

And I'm thinking, "I know you're fat, shut the **** up."

More to love or more to hate, depending on the person.

I dont mind them, I would never date a fat girl cause of sexual attraction issues. Now, for fat kids.....I hate their parents! Most of them become used to get what they want and become spoiled, easy crier brats

That is positive denial. I have seen lots of that under many different issues.

A little overweight is not so bad. Obesity is a disease and they are screwed without surgery

But if a fatty says I'm too skinny, or takes the last pastry at the bakery, my sympathies are gone I have to say

Whatever you call it, it's annoying as ****.

And if it's somehow a pre-emptive response to any any insults they think I might make, then that also becomes flat-out offensive. That's sort of like looking at me and automatically assuming that I'm an anti-fat bigot just because I'm not nearly as fat as him. That's like if a black man were to walk around and constantly accuse white people of being racist as a pre-emptive defense against the slight possibility that that white person might actually say something racist.

I'm not white, but I'm assuming that many white people sort of get offended when they're just minding their own businewss and then a black man comes out of nowhere and calls them a racist even though they didn't ****ing do anything.

Likewise, if I were to say "hello" to a morbidly obese person, and that person basically responded by calling me a ****ing fattie-hating bigot, I'd probably be pretty goddamn insulting.

It sure as hell wasn't ME who started talking about fatness or obesity. All I did was to ****ing say hi. If a simple greeting results in the person assuming that I'm gonna insult him for being a fatass, then **** that guy. That's his ****ing issue, not mine. And if he's gonna basically calling me a bigot just because I said hello, then **** him.

I enjoy your rants geezer. Also, I agree it is very annoying

Well, it's not always entirely their fault. Some people are just made with bigger frames and ,therefor, have more fat. Not to mention that every ones body "knows" what weight it wants to be and can make you eat more or less.(set point theory)
