Don't worry, we're not thin bashing.


You're right, you're not :)

I just get a little sensitive because it is socially acceptable, even fashionable to openly criticize people for being thin, and it's not just me who's had it happen to them recently around here.

People come in different sizes, and people have no business criticizing others about it - either big or thin... [/rant]

What really matters in the end is feeling healthy and how you feel about yourself.

I know I'm more of a chubby chaser when it comes to men but it doesn't make thin men unhealthy or unattractive.

This seems like a false either/or statement. What about super sized and skinny? Like 7'0 tall and 160?


/BMI is a very loose approximation of health. More of a guideline than a factual equation.

Exactly though we all have what we're attracted to and not attracted too. I have a preference for shorter, more petite women. While another person maybe a chubby chaser. And this is true for everyone even if they don't admit it, they have to find the person physically attractive to date them.

Yeah i notice the same thing. When I get my triple whopper and large fries at Burger King on occasion, people will give me an evil stare while i eat it and my friends (who are all mostly fat) will be like "how the **** do you eat that and look like you do?"

Also, this girl told me i was skinny when i told her my height and weight, so i felt like returning the favor by telling her she was fat (she had to be 5'3" and maybe 175 or so, big girl!) and then she got mad telling me i was an ***hole. My response was that i was simply telling her what her body was because she told me what mine was.

People these days, they seem like they can dish out insults but not take them....

in another thread, you said you have never called a girl fat to her face. both statements cannot be true.

You never call a girl fat. I'll joke about it with friends, but never say anything to her face about being fat.

I meant as in I wont go up to a girl and insult her, but if she insults me, or if i take it as an insult it is rather fair if i insult her back. I really hate it when people think its ok to insult others but that its not ok when they get insulted back and then fly into a rage

doesn't make it any less of a lie when you said you had never done that. you stated quite clearly that you would never say that to a girl's face, but you did.

Well i have a right to verbally defend myself as does anyone else.

The thing about most people is that they think its ok to insult others but not for others to insult them

Did he ever get around to responding to being cornered for his bold declarations about
The Aesthetic Preferences of All Men?

That was hilarious. :lol:


I picked "super-sized", because I get cold at night. 8)
Really. There's no other reason.
