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

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Newtcase · Posted

      I didn’t like this draft at all. XL, our first pick had one good season out of five and doesn’t have burst off the line.  I wanted Ladd here because I think he’d have been a much better pairing for BY9s weak arm.  We need to be an excellent west coast style offense if Bryce is gonna shine.  A burner that takes 3 steps to get moving and doesn’t separate at the line is a bad choice IMO. I don’t even want to talk about drafting a RB after having Foreman make us feel better about trading CMC only to send him packing and give Sanders top FA money last year to fall on his face.  We always try to get cute and find value.  The fact that we were the first team to take a RB (one recovering from a serious injury no less) tells you we didn’t get the memo 31 other teams got.  RB has a huge role in protection responsibility, it’s a huge reason some great backs are situational…they suck in protection.  A rookie RB helping protect BY doesn’t warm my heart.  We should have taken the top C on the board here IMO. LB and yet another project TE that’ll probably just frustrate us all for how long he hangs around seemingly doing nothing.  Then a bunch of dice rolls that aren’t changing any fortune unless it’s a complete accident. TLDR This whole draft looks like JAGs to me at best.  I don’t like the XL or JB picks at all.  Always happy to be wrong when I have a negative take.
