Do you hate fat people?

I dont hate them i dont even care what they do.

I've got nothing against people who are just fat. In fact, I think girls look a lot better with a little meat on their bones. :3

But I hate lazy people, and fat people tend to be fat because they possess this trait. And I hate weak people, and weakness tends to be a trait that fatties never give up (if you want to lose weight, put down your lard sammich and get your fattie butt to the gym, plz).

And I hate self-loathing people, and people who are jealous of others, and inconsiderate people who are unaware that the people around them aren't going to give up a seat on the bus just to accomidate a stranger's fat rolls...

But if you're fat and loving it or if you admit that your size can cause an inconvenience to others if you're not considerate of them, then I've got no problem with you at all. ^_^

I think there's a pretty horrible intolerance of overweight people in general actually.

It's sad to see so many people who equate fat people to just being lazy, and then tell them to get down to the gym. Personally I feel that there's a large percentage of overweight people who aren't struggling from being idle, rather it's a far more deep rooted psychological problem. There's a really great piece of research conducted by Crandall (1994), who found that obesity is so highly stigmatized in society because it's seen as being controllable - although for many people it's more difficult than simply going to the gym more.

Food should be pleasurable, and it's something that serves many psychological functions. It goes beyond simply giving us energy, and it's not difficult to find people who've developed an unhealthy relationship with food.

Imagine if you told an anorexia patient to stop complaining and go and have a sandwich. I'd like to think that nobody would be that tactless or ignorant, and recognize that anorexia is a recognized mental disorder, and it can work in the same way for overweight people. Telling somebody who has deep rooted emotional dependencies on food, or is suffering from compulsive eating disorder to just eat less and exorcise more, is like telling a bulimic patient to stop being sick.

When we see somebody who is unhealthily thin, we tend to reserve judgement because we are so aware of mental disorders associated with being underweight, but I don't think people understand the psychological factors that can contribute to becoming fat - unfortunately.

Float your plus sizes.

Agreed completely on both accounts with andi and Vega. I have nothing against fat people either, and I too I think that there's definitely an intolerance of people whom happen to be overweight. Laziness, lack of self control and greed are far too commonly associated with people who have some 'extra baggage', and too often, more complex issues, such as depression and psychological problems (that might actually account for some percentage of the cause) are often overlooked. It's a massive sweeping generalization like the former that stamps most fat people with such negative labels, and thus, they are all tarred with the same brush.

Compared to conditions such as bulimia and anorexia, these two are not socially ridiculed in the same way as people being overweight are, and underweight people are more likely to be understood in that psychological issues and more is the cause of their suffering. Fat people are somewhat less likely to be met with such understanding, and that's quite a sad situation.

They can be as sweet as candy, but I hate the ones who use it as an excuse to be a complete *****. "I'm fat so I have the right!" It's a load of BS!

But I hate lazy people << Same here. About 2 years ago I went to a program called Job Corps and had a roomate who constantly complained about how FAT she was. i got sick of her constant nagging and decided to "HELP" her by taking her swimming as an exercise. I was fat too, but I didn't SIT ON MY KEASTER EATING MORE FOOD AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. No, I got up and did something. Once every two weeks I would go into town on the weekends and go SWIMMING... That is... Until I fried my hair from the cloriene(sp?), but the pool I went to put way to much in to begin with.

Anyway, I took her to go swimming and all she did was sit in the damn hot tub complaining to strangers about HOW FAT SHE WAS...

>>fat people tend to be fat because they possess this trait<<

>>And I hate weak people, and weakness tends to be a trait that fatties never give up<< But that's not entirely true though. My BF used to be fat, but lost a load of weight when he picked up Poi (Dancing with Glowsticks!) and after I had suggested it to him.

Sounds like the voice of experience.

I think in most cases it is laziness that keeps a fat person fat.
There is also the lack of confidence and motivation.
It's laziness in the end that keeps them from accomplishing whatever they want to accomplish.
Like andi said some people are larger because they have the trait, they inherited it from their family.
But those who don't and have ALL the power in the world to lose the weight and DON'T try.
ARGG! They make me mad, people who bash themselves, who have nothing good to say about themselves. Those people deserve their fate, their UNhealthyness (sp?)(Is that even a word).

'Fat' people are cuddly.
And they usually have very friendly personalities, too. ^^

Yes! Yes, I hate all fat people! Kidding.

I've seen girls with skinny little waists say they are fat because they have big hips. I like a girl with a bit of meat on her bones.

Ya really skinny girls are....too skinny.
(Thumps Daphnes on the shoulder)
I like em with some meat as well but not too much.
Fat people do tend to be jolly but some are just lazy and boring.

There's nothing wrong with fat people except the fac that they need to lose weight, but as andi said, a person who's chubby is better than a person who's so skinny, they look like toothpick you just want to crack.

GO fat our go home.

Really, I don't care. It's their life, let'm live it. I only get frustrated with the people who get a wheelchair or an electronic wheel chair because they are too fat to walk eveywhere. Seriously, your only gonna get fatter in that thing! Stop complaining that your fat and walk a metre or two once in a while

Well said, i dont neceserialy hate fat people. I would only hate them if they didnt something that would mek me hate them, fat person or not.

Fat chicks. . . I only hate them when i see one and think she would look pretty hot if she wasnt so fat. Its anoying, because they probally dont understand then get all depressed.

No, because for some of them it's not their fault... and for those that it is who cares?

Well I can't say I hate fat people. I myself have a little extra baggage. I guess I am kinda fat but im not lazy or anything. Im a little over 6 and a half feet and weigh 210. I play football for my highschool team. Im nowhere near lazy. "Bigger people" are probably nicer than thin toothpick-like people anyways.

Some people have lower basal metabolism rates, and I would be okay with that because it isn't their fault, but people who sit on their ass all day gorging on on a whole pie of pizza and letting the world pass them by get on my nerves because of their laziness, so lazy people piss me off the most; fat is not the factor.

I think this thread should've been called "Do you hate lazy people!"

I have no problem with fat people and even have a few guys I hang out with that are fat. Of course I don't find overweight women hot but I still have no problem with hanging out with them.

I don't feel sorry for them like most people do, though. I think it is their own fault and they should realize when they're starting to gain and start dieting or exercising.

I respect them because sometimes it runs in the family that people are fat so i have nothing against them, and anyways who cares about whats on the outside except models. I prefer a fat person than an anorexic one...

I lol'd when I saw this thread. I must say this is the most... Odd thread I've seen in a while.

Keeping on topic, no. I don't hate fat people. My cousin is 'chubby'ish fat, but that makes everything more funny when he does things.

There is genetic fat, in which a person has no control over. Then, there is the lazy person who doesn't give a **** and eats and refuses to go outside and actually do something. There is no reason to hate them. Its what is on the inside, not the outside. If they smell good, have a good personality, and are cheerful in life, why should I care if they can't run or something? Its not like when you turn 25 or something, you will need to be in a military condition or something, lots of people work in the office and factories.

Of course, its unhealthy, but there isn't a reason to hate them, hate the lazy people.

and I wouldn't doubt some people you really like here could be a bit chubby. You know them for their personality, not their looks. : D
