"Wait, you like a fat chick?"

[Nye Roberts]

no need to be angry dude with an open minded attitude like that you'll have lots of friends and be very popular with girls your superstitial narrowminded ex friends will live lonely lives until hopefully one day they grow up or they die alone i look upon people like that with pity not anger

 

[2733]

do you really need us to confirm that your friend is a massive douche? I have a feeling you already know. Ignore his nonsense and if he says it in front of you again hit him with a newspaper until he learns. Personally I am not attracted to larger women but a good personality can trump that in an instant. Our relationship would likely be strained by the fact that I am a bit of a fitness nut so I would be trying to "fix" her all the time.

Statistically, he's probably into something MUCH more WTFy than heavy people.

Anyways, my guess is that he watches waaaaaaaaaaaay too much Teen Drama TV. You know, where actually fat people don't exist.

Being fat is a health risk. Doesn't matter if you're "comfortable" or a "real woman" or think you're a "healthy size". You risk health problems. So NO DEAR SILLY ESCAPISTS, BEING FAT IS NOT A PERFECTLY FINE THING TO BE.

That said, your friend is a huge douche and you shouldn't be friends with him anymore.

Being a man is a health risk.
Having kids is a health risk.
Drinking soda is a health risk.
Genetics is a health risk.

Everything you do or are heightens a risk of something down the road. By your logic everything is not fine.

That doesn't justify choosing[footnote]I'm referring to people who have the possibility to be skinny but because of their lack of exercise and diet, choose to be fat[/footnote] to be fat.

Being afraid of percentages is not justification of singling out fat people.

Hell being of a certain race has health risks that can follow you for the rest of your life. Yet I don't see people saying "don't date the darkies."

certain foods from certain races have health risks, yet I don't see people say "don't eat Mexican food."

No matter what you do, you will have health risks. You might as well pick one because you cant escape it.

Ok I choose to "escape" from being fat

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

What the fuck? Is there really a problem with what people find attractive? Is there really a problem with finding a girl who isn't completely skinny attractive? Why does society drive us in such stupid ways?

Wait... you like a fat chick? Dude, come on, I'm pretty liberal but there's a line. That line is no fat chicks, no ugos; and we repeat that rule until we die.

But seriously, while I follow that rule it's cool for others to not; it's not my business who you get hard for. Obviously we're a society built on attraction and on sexuality so we'll find others' attractions difficult to grasp if they're different, but it's all a part of not being a total wanker.

You don't seem to much better than your friends. You're getting angry at them for not agreeing with you and expressing their own opinion on attraction. Give them some room to talk, maybe throw in a friendly insult and be on your way. If you're willing to give up friends because of something like that then you're going to run into bigger problems than a girl just being 'out of your league.' Which, while I'm on the subject, is totally not a thing. There are no leagues, only attraction: the key is to be attractive. If you still think that attraction is based entirely on physical fitness and appearance then you have a long way to go.

At any rate, don't worry about your friends, chase this girl, roofie her, whatever you need to do, have a laugh with her and have a good time. Chances are it'll fail, make it a story of glorious defeat.

Uggghhh, sometimes I hate people.

Sometimes? I'm, more often than not, holding in some level of rage toward the human race.

It all started in high school. I was shy and I looked different so... generic bully target story.

Move onto to college where I hurt myself playing tag football with my friends. Their insurance wouldn't allow them to house anyone who is "disabled". So they kicked me and my crutches to the curb screwing me out of my education.

Afterwards I worked glorious and fulfilling jobs in costumer service where my hatred for mankind was heated in the fires of an endless stream of belligerent asinine customers then tempered in the moronic "office politics" and lazy uselessness of my co workers.

I envy you for sometimes hating the human race. I automatically hate EVERYONE with few exceptions. I only hope we destroy ourselves before we develop space travel and spread our stupidity across the cosmos.

Snip

That was the most pessimistic and out of touch post in this thread. Yay for you.

OT: So what? She's not exactly a 700lb morbidly obese monster than can't fit through doors or... walk. She's just a bit squishier than thin girls. I like girls with a little heft myself.

Your friend's a judgemental, superficial douche and cutting him off or insulting him daily is the best option.

 

[chadachada123]

I have friends that date ugly girls.

I may make a snide remark once or twice, but once my friends makes it clear that they like their girls and aren't just going for a one-night-stand, I back off, regardless of my opinion on her looks.

That said, your friend sounds like he needs some counter-trolling to make him understand how big of an ass he is currently being, if he continues to try and influence you like that.

Just make fun of any girls he finds attractive until he backs off, is my advice. Will it work? Maybe, hard to say. Depends on the type of guy he is.

A couple of remarks from him can be friendly, but if he seriously won't let it go, it's a very un-bro thing to do.

 

[Waaghpowa]

1. Your friend is stupid an immature.
2. Would the "being made fun of" angle, like someone suggested, really be a factor? If so, how old are you guys that being made fun of is an issue?

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

As long as you are attracted to her (I ay this because it is important that you are attracted to someone if you are going to date them, it may sound like i'm stating the obvious but some people don't get that) and you make each other happy there isn't a problem, your friend is just being a dick plain and simple.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Out of touch! Out of God damn touch?! Surely you mean off topic?

Yeah, it did go off topic, I felt OP needed a kick to the crotch for being a bit of a dick to his friends, though I'm not sure how it's pessimistic. I'm kinda running with the whole 'all your relationships will fail' bit this month, you'll see it multiple posts, my next one should have it, but I wouldn't say it's pessimistic.

I dunno, I guess I'm sick of people trying to live a soap opera love life, making things more dramatic than they are, and it's running into my posts more than usual. Regardless, yay for me!

 

[kgpspyguy]

Being overweight tells a lot about the personality of said person, fat people tend to be weak willed a tad selfish, lazy, unmotivated, the list goes on, for me looks dont matter as much...but I want somebody to go jogging with.

 

[Psychedelic Spartan]

Personally, I don't have a problem with people liking girls who are bigger than what is considered "attractive". First of all, they look normal and also, physical appearance isn't the most important part of a relationship. If you like a girl, go for it. Your friends are MASSIVE chucklefucks and you don't need to listen to their opinions. Also, on a lighter note, you won't lose a big girl. A girl who is too skinny could get lost anywhere, under the bed, in a drawer, etc. God, I need to work on my jokes...

This is kind of a ludicrous stance to take. Why not do heroin! The smog in the air might give me lung cancer one day!

Yes, there will be health risks no matter what you do. That is no reason to pursue lifestyles or habits that are directly linked to significant health complications. Having your health explode is no picnic. You know that old truism "At least you have your health"? There's a reason for that.

I went through insult hell in my past. What people say about me and the girl I like (If we start dating) Would really have no effect on me, it's down to her.

She is a very nice person, has lots of friends, and is quite social. I find no problems with her being made fun of. I could see extreamly shallow people like the guy I mentioned before making fun of me, but that's about it-
I don't really mind what people say about me. If people call me wierd I tell them to get in line.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

TC, here's your white horse and shining armor, sadly the dragon was eaten by your prospective girlfriend thus you'll just have to fight something else....


Alright that was a bit over the top but meh, I find this kind of moral outrage topics annoying enough to warrant it.




People find things attractive and unattractive, people find other people liking the things they find unattractive as something odd. This is a reasonable thing. They could have worded it better but I don't know if they're "asshats" for feeling as they do. I myself recently became aware of a newer friend dating somebody I would consider fat (though that could be debatable to others I suppose) and I did have that "uhh...you find her attractive...really?" thought come up, of course I didn't say anything and I guess that's the difference between the asses and the normal people but that thought popping up isn't the sign of a bad person.


A somewhat shallow thing it is, yes, definitely, shallowness doesn't have any kind of morality attached to it though.

Are you still in highschool? If yes, then I can understand the social ramifications. Though personally, I literally didn't give a shit about any of that when I was in highschool. Just ignore it and tell everyone to fuck off. Worked wonders for me.

I agree with both of the above. If you're fine with it, go for it. However, health risk, etc.

 

[tobi the good boy]

I'm kinda getting the feeling from the way the OP types that I need to hear the other people's opinions for myself because I'm getting a very strong sense of bias in this matter.
