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

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Thanks Ice and Juan.  I appreciate people who produce and bring content to the table.   Without further ado, my reactions, and I will try to be "laconic" (word of the day): 8- Edge/LB Jalon Walker:  A great football player.  He must be used properly.  Does not eliminate the need for an edge--and we do not draft an edge here. 57- DT T.J. Sanders:  I really liked him at SC--a beast. A DE.  I am not sure how we will rotate in at NT--and I see NT as our biggest DL need IF we play Wharton at DE. 74- WR Jack Bech:  Love this guy.  a Dawg.  Eric Decker II. 111- S Billy Bowman Jr.  Good value here, but I was hoping for a S earlier.  I want one of the top 2 because if both S have position versatility, and we have Walker and DL with position versatility, we'd be hard to play. 114- CB Dorian Strong:  Fine. A depth piece behind Horn and Jackson (he he). However, I think CB is a bigger need than people are projecting. 140- LB Demetrius Knight Jr.:  Another Gamecock--love him.  Morgan will love him.  A dawg.  A steal here. 146- G Caleb Rogers:  Don't we have enough guards?  Moton is in his final year and we don't draft a T? 163- RB Jarquez Hunter:  Not sure I have ever heard of him--probably suing his parents for naming him Jarquez--but the name does mean "Strong and valiant" if spelled correctly.  Do his friends call him Jar Jar?  I would. 230- S Maxen Hook  The great grand son of Peter Pan's nemesis.  He has both hands--for now, but that is because Toledo did not play the Florida Gators.

      Moose Muhammed had suspect hands early in his career and seemed to improve--but my experience is this--some QBs throw a ball that some WRs struggle to catch vs. others.  A tighter spin, more velocity, timing in route--I can't put my finger on it specifically, but in college we had 5 or so qbs and one or two were harder to catch than the others.  In fact, I climbed the depth chart because I could catch the starter (threw it hard) better than others-but the second team QB gave me fits.  Maybe that has something to do with it?
