A conversation I just had brought up an interesting point. Why is it acceptable to call someone skinny and tell them they need to eat more, but not acceptable to call someone fat and tell them to eat less?
 
...yes...this is a blatant double-standard...

...similarly, why is not acceptable to say EITHER of the following to a woman in a public place:

1. Hey, you have a fat ass.
2. Hey, you have a nice ass.

It would seem reasonable to conjecture that you might AT LEAST get away with #2.....but all it ever gets me is a slap in the face....what's that all about??
 
I think it's waaaaaaaaay more acceptable to be fat.

I get told I'm too thin all the damn time, and people generally aren't too sweet about it, either. "Go eat a sandwich." - that sort of thing.

But I would NEVER tell a fat girl to lay off the Fritos, even though she might really benefit from doing so.

The media constantly is in a frenzy about who's anorexic and who exercises "too much" and who doesn't eat enough. But it's fine and dandy to be fat, because it isn't PC to call someone fat.

It's bullshit.

'fat' people will get the same treatment too

granted it will hopefully tail off when/as they get older, but they will most likely be insulted
 
I think fat people were often teased as children, but I doubt many adults would actually have the balls to go up to someone and call them chubby.

I'm not saying fat people are bad or that they should be ridiculed, but they sure the hell shouldn't throw any stones in my direction.

I think it's a crying shame that it's fine and dandy to be fat and blame it on some thyroid disorder, which approximately ONE OUT OF ONE MILLION people have, but it's considered obsessive to count carbs and work out daily.

If you're fat, you're fine, but if you take care of yourself, you're a self-obsessed asshole.

"Working out AGAIN?"
"oh, can you eat that? It actually has FLAVOR!"

Oh, I forgot. I'm supposed to be snarfing chocolate and sitting on my Lazy Boy waiting for my arteries to harden. I'm supposed to strive towards cellulite and atrophied muscles.

What was I thinking??
 
trance i hear ya... i've always been a beanpole and i recall when i was 12 a girl at school said i looked anorexic but she knew i wasn't because i ate... wtf?

is that some sort of compliment? lol

i've had people say to me, do you eat? i've heard people tell my mum to feed me more... etc. my mum understands because the high metabolism runs in our family and she was even thinner than i am at the same age.

I think the both extremes are very bad (skinny like Skeletor or fat like a narwhal).. but for the most part, moderately skinny people have it easier than moderately fat people. Just the fact that you can hide being skinny (baggy clothes, etc) is a distinct advantage over fat people. I mean, a baggy circus tent is still a circus tent.

Plus, being fat comes with LOTS health problems, now and in the future.. although I'm not trying to overlook anorexia or bullemia.
 
if you're hiding being skinny behind baggy clothes, you're likely anorexic... it's one of the things they point out as a common thing with anorexics.

I suppose. But when fat people wear baggy clothes, they are just being polite to others around them.

an over active thyroid can make u skinny too ya know :)


i will agree that people tend to be afraid or dismissive of something they know nothing about. so f you work outmore than the avreage guy or eat differently to the average person they will attempt to rib you for it.

but if an anorexic were running miles every day and refusing to eat (i knew one once), people might point that out to them. you just have to accept it and listen to your loved ones and if necessary get someone like say a doctor to elay their fears (for instance both my parents thought i was on testosterone for a while!)
 
thin people have WAY MORE sex on the average than fat people. In fact, the thin/anorexic look will likely get you a modeling gig (just ask canadian oak).

Thinness isn't just accepted by society, it is WORSHIPPED!
 
well i don't find it easy being a thin person in this world... any sort of "extreme" and you get chastised.

and i don't even think i'm all that skinny, just kind of a small person
 
It just disgusts me that it's socially acceptable for people to call me too thin(which, at 5'11 and 137 pounds, I'm not exactly skeletal) or fine to call a friend of mine who lifts "gross" because sh'e in good shape; but it's not OK to tell someone that they're overweight, even if it's done out of concern.

I could be nice as hell - cite heart disease statistics, bring some low-fat baked goods as a gift, whatever, but it would STILL be considered hurtful, mean, and wrong.

I'd never do it, because I think it's catty and rude to make snide remarks regarding other people's personal appearances(at least while they're in the room - heh), but it really frosts my cookies that no one extends the same consideration to me.
 
preach on sista

here are some frosted cookies to share :)

Yesterday was my cheat day. I have a breakfast burrito (and some of my girlfriend's food) for breakfast, deep dish pizza for lunch and homemade sugar cookies for dinner.


Mmmmmmmmmmmm
 
haha no i have the genetics that prevent that... i eat a LOT of fast food.

but i am trying to build muscle so my body has a little more nice "shapely muscle"

when i get back to the gym later this week i'm starting back on a high protein diet... just worrying about the protein is about it.

i'll eat whatever else since it doesn't seem to matter


:)

like an angry madonna or a guy dancing with a gas mask on? ;)

That's Madonna? No way!

I'm on a protein kick, too. I don't normally eat any starches or sugars. Eggs and chicken eggs and chicken eggs and chicken. LOL
 
yup that's madonna...

my favourite breakfast is egg whites and then a bowl of plain oatmeal followed by a glass of oj. yum!

otherwise... i love the cereal vive, but i bet it has too much sugar in it. tasty though.

and when i'm not eating crap, i make food in my steamer... mmm steamed marinated chicken. :)

i loves my veggies too.

ok off to walmart/mcdonald's :)

I think the average people who tell a skinny person to eat more think they are actually granting the person license to do something pleasurable -- to eat as much as they would if they weren't fat pigs.

It may be different here, though. Obviously, if you hang out in a community of people with "bigorexia," smalls, you're gonna get told to eat more. My impression is that you WANT to be bigger and, that being the case, why should it surprise you that people encourage you to cram the food in?

Personally, I think you look gorgeous.

Truly a beautiful reply!!
 
you gotta be kidding me. The guy that is saying its better to be fat then thin? Some girls only like skinny pretty boy types. Look at most models.. a lot of them are like 6 ft 145 pounds!. Its a million times better to be skinny then fat u cant even compare the two if your fucking retarded. If anyone called me skinny whcih i am and they were over weight i would call them a fat fucking pig and tell them to go eat something and speed up there heart attack. If they were buff they'd just look stupid like they needed to improve there self esteem.
 
Another thing that pisses me off is seeing a car pull up in let's say a Wal-Mart parking lot, then pull into a Handicap parking place only to watch this fat load get out and waddle into the store!! Just parking there so they don't have to walk far. I guess that's why they love fast food so much...don't even have to get out to strap the feed-bag on!!
 
not to mention i was getting driven home once by this kid who himself was fat and mom was really fat. First they stopped (this was an hour drive straight) at a drive thru burger joint they each got like 2 bacon cheese burgers i had 2 myself ( i eat a lot and i remain thin 6'1 140 pounds and growing sigh). Then when we got into our neighborhood all of asudden the mom goes hmm i want pizza and the kid i was getting a rid from goes ya and im thinking jesus christ what the fuck is a matter with these people. THere over weight as hell and they just ate and now they want pizza. Well they ordered an entire pizza and if i ate as much as them i woulda thrown up.
 
What galls me is they will hospitalize and force feed an underweight person but let an overwieght person lie in their bed at home and grow so fat they cant move and finally die. Why dont they hospitalize them and force them on a diet?

And who the heck keeps bringing these people food when they are too fat to get up and get it themselves? Its one thing to see someone do that to themselves its another to help them.

Honestly i dont think u can compare an anorexic person to an overly fat person. The overly fat person has no self control at all among other problems where as the anorexic person is really depressed and after reading an anorexic forum i saw that most of these people are suicidal and anorexia is the only thing keeping them alive (IRONIC AS IT MAY SOUND). I mean i hate fat people that say oh theres nothing i can do about it blah blah blah next thing u know u see em eating potato chips, and candy and shit. That shit really pisses me off. The only fat people i like are the chris farley types and no i dont mean dead :) hehe.

To answer the first part: because Richard Simmons and Jenny Craig would be outta business.

As for the second part: No one gets them food. That's one thing about a fat person. They'll let the phone ring and garbage overflow, but when it's time to eat...GET THE HELL OUTTA DA WAY!!!
