Even if he is joking his usage of words makes it worst.
Still, that's a pretty generic statement... that poster wasn't insulting anyone in particular. If anyone internalized it as an insult, it says more about that person than the poster.
Right. So you'd be okay if someone came on here and said no one wants to have sex with a fatty?
Yep, if that's their opinion, they're entitled to it... doesn't impact me. They could even go so far as to say no one wants to have sex with people with 'infinity' in their username. It's someone's opinion, what would it matter?
And it's my opinion that tearing down body types (especially ones that obviously include a disorder) is just a crappy thing to do. Why does it matter? Because I've had people ridicule me about my body and I wouldn't want to wish that on anyone else or encourage that way of thinking at all.
And that was wrong - no question. But I just think there's a big difference between making a generic comment and singling out an INDIVIDUAL. If you lump yourself in with the generic comment, that's YOU giving power to those words. Otherwise they're meaningless.
Regardless, I'm still okay with voicing my disagreement with such terms, especially on a fitness site.0 -

But you aren't apologizing for saying it in the first place.
I publically and deeply apologuze to each and every person I offended by using the term 'bag of hangers', I also deeply apologize for indicating no one would want to **** a 'bag of hangers'. This turned out to be a hurtful statement and I apologize for not only saying it, but for thinking it in the first place.0 -

Apparently it's ok if she apologizes to one single person.
I'm pretty sure contrition wasn't the theme of her "apology" anyhow.0 -

Although I suspect the members of each of our populations meant by "people" are entirely different.0 -
I think all body types are lovely. I do, however, like curves.0

I have my thoughts (which I'll keep to myself) on why the OP is asking this question (about a third of her posts were similar), but my honest answer is that I feel most men are attracted to CONFIDENCE at any size. They've expressed it, and I've seen it, in my own situation and in others, as well as some men have already stated it in posts here. This is just my opinion, of course, but maybe confidence is the real issue here, not her just asking a random question for which there will be a million different answers....0
