Skinny people bashing

Why do people think it's OK to bash and say rude things to people about their small size?

 

I often get told, "you're too skinny", "you're nothing but bones" (not true btw, i'm pure fuging muscle), well "you wouldn't be so cold if you weren't so skinny".  And they always have this tone of annoyance or disgust.

 

Could you imagine if I said that to an overweight person. "You're too fat", "you're nothing but fat" , "you wouldn't be so hot if you weren't so fat"

 

 

I also have "friends" on FB who post stuff like "Guys hate skinny girls but love curves", "curvy girls are better than skinny girls", "Skinny girls are wimps, real women have curves"

 

I always keep my mouth shut and don't respond but seriously why so mean? Why is that considered OK?

I too have endured the slings and arrows of anti-skinny bias.

 

Meanwhile, the older I get, the fatter my friends get.

 

People think they're giving you a compliment by insulting you. it's strange.

I think people assume they're giving you some kind of back handed compliment...

 

As a general rule of politeness, unless you're REALLY good friends with someone, keep any opinions about their appearance to yourself.

 

Cat, next time someone says "you're too skinny", reply something along the lines of "At least I'm not fat and going to die from some heart attack or diabeetus like some people I know" and give them that disgusted look you get... see what they say then.

 

 

 

Next time you see that "wimp" post on fb, ask them how many pull ups they can do... :)

My ex deals with this almost on a daily basis. She was a part owner of a restaurant and a snooty lady came in with her young daughter and my ex offered the little girl a free cupcake out of the pastry display. The snooty woman responded by telling my ex it looks like she should keep the cupcake and eat it herself because she was too skinny. Apparently she said it in a very mean spirited way.

 

My ex proceeded to thank her for her for the remark, lifted up her shirt to show her the 2 foot scar down her stomach from her 8 surgeries, and told her that she has Crohn's disease that prevents her from absorbing any food and will eventually kill her so maybe next time she should think twice before commmenting on how skinny someone is.

 

She gets comments like that all the time but never says anything back to people or explains why she is so skinny but I think that woman put her over the edge.

Well I've noticed big women love posting stuff about "curves" on Facebook when all they have in reality is rolls. The less-easy on the eyes type... they love posting about real beauty is on the inside.

tl;dr: women with self-esteem issues post things to make themselves feel better

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
