    Yep. I'm fun in bed too. I read, I game, and I have a penchant for expensive vibrators and bisexual orgy-porn. Any other random personal facts about me you want to discuss?

    It's funny how the "fit" people try to give a logical response... Being overweight doesn't give anyone the right to insult you. Unless they're a medical professional, what's it to them? The problem doesn't "lie within you" if you get offended. The problem is with that person and their mother/parent/gaurdian, who should have taught them how to respectfully talk to people.

    It is a falacy to assume that a "fit" person was always a "fit" person. I suppose most would consider me fit. Although, 25 lbs of fat ago that was not the case. And when I got called fat then, my answer was generally "yep, I am." It is not an insult, it is a factual observation. Don't like it? Change the reality of it.

    No one was assuming you were or were not overweight. However, if you felt like you were and you're still okay calling it a "factual observation" then I feel bad for you. It's not okay for someone to say that to you, it's your body, not theirs. It's an insult and I would hope no one would ever feel the need to try and hurt someone by saying it.

    But if you disagree it's whatever lol. "Yep I am" and that didn't bother you? Must be nice to be a robot.

    To each his own.

    I wouldn't respond because it's like saying the sky is blue. Yes, I am fat, kinda like me pointing out that you're also wearing shoes, wearing glasses or suffering from being a retard.

    Say yes if you are; say no if you are not.

    If you feel insulted because you're overweight then the problems lies within yourself.

    QFT

    Yup

    So if someone I know has frizzy, damaged hair, and I point it out and they feel insulted, it's because of some "issue" that lies within them and not because I was just a completely rude and tactless person for pointing it out? No...I don't think so.

    I would try my hardest to fart and throw it at him/her.

    If not fueled up, a good burp and a thank you.

    Heck, better yet, if I went up to someone with tiny boobs and was all like "Hey there, you've got some tiny boobs!" that person should totally do something about it (boob job, amirite?) instead of getting mad at me because, you know, it's totally THEIR issue if my remarks bothered them.

    But even when it's true that one is overweight, why is it necessary for someone else to point it out? The overweight person already knows this and may be working on it, so why the need to draw attention to the obvious? As many times as family, friends and strangers have commented on my weight, I doubt that it's ever been because they thought I was unaware.

    I personally don't get upset over that kind of stuff, but I wouldn't tell someone that I think they're overweight. I think most people know that they are and that's not particularly helpful. It's kinda like if you have a big spot on your face, and someone comes along and tells you that you have a big spot on your face. It implies that it's obvious to everyone and that it doesn't look very good. It's just a bit gauche and unnecessary, is all.

    That is pretty close to what I said to my father in law years. still some of her family that will not speak to me. I am so crushed:wink:

    I busted up laughing when I read this! My BF's mom once asked me how I was doing, and I said "Tired." I had had 3 hours of sleep in as many days. She said, "Well, that's because you're overweight."

    My reply: "Yes, I'm sure it has more to do with my weight than lack of sleep. You must be EXHAUSTED. How do you do it?"

    For small children: I have taught my nieces and nephew to use "fluffy" or "soft" as a description. Like a pillow.
