chubby or skinny

It would be nice if we could have a thread where some woman didn't feel the need to come in and insult other women's body types.

I guess that's too much to ask.

I was thinking the same thing. It gets a little old, doesn't it? Imagine the outrage if there were body shaming directed at the overweight in every thread.

Meh, I've been heavy most of my life and the people who've always done the teasing are skinny. I say let the skinny people have it. They deserve to feel what it's like. Maybe they'll actually develop a little empathy from it.

Wow, really?!? You don't think we got it, too?!? You don't think that people told me I should eat a cheeseburger or forced to eat a sammich?? Screw that! No ONE should be tortured for their weight. No one!

Yeah but when people tease skinny people it's usually coming from a different place. It's usually more a "you should fatten up so you don't make look so bad." When people tease fat people it's literally to punish them for being fat and to make themselves feel good. It's not balanced at all. You see this in so many areas. You can even look at extremes like eating disorders that cause you to be too skinny. Those are diseases right? That's accepted as such. But when someone says obesity is a disease people laugh and say "get some self control!"

Wow, you need help. Really, you do. I should eat more so I don't LOOK SO BAD?!?! How the EFF is that even remotely ACCEPTABLE?!? I don't understand how you don't see that as punishment or how that isn't the equivalent of making someone feel like *kitten* about themselves. Yea, I sure felt AMAZING when I was told I looked like Skeletor. Yep, that felt AWESOME. I not ONCE made fun of a person for his or her weight. Not ONCE. And, because I was made fun of so much for being under weight, I never would. You would think being made fun of for being heavy, you would understand that. Obviously not.

That's a very sad generalization. So because a few thin people teased you, all thin people should be teased now? I can tell you it doesn't feel very good to be told you need to eat a cheeseburger for being too thin. Especially when you can't eat one because you have a bowel disorder. Everyone has his or her own story sweetheart. Don't judge us all based on a couple of cruel people you came into contact with.

To say it's only a couple shows the blindness skinny people have to the issue. So a few people told you to eat a cheese burger. Probably friends, maybe some family. Did total strangers ever do it? Every kid at school? People on the street every point? Doubt it.

All these men are LYING LYING LYING. No one wants a fat girl, Chubby is a fancy word for a gross and fat . Chubby still means fat and nasty. It's just a nice way of saying it. Just like "unfortunite looking" is a nice way of saying one is actually as ugly as homemade sin.

Have you never heard of a chubby chaser? This goes for both men and women. When I first started dating my fiance I straight up asked him what kind of women he liked and he told me that he liked bigger girls and he's not the only guy I've dated that said that. So uhh maybe rethink your way of thinking. Not everyone likes skinny and not everyone likes chubby/fat. To each their own.

Hey.. Im fat. I know that no one wants fat people... and I personally know that cute and chubby is an insult. Skinny people get everything in life. Fat people get nothing.

I'd wager that it's not your appearance that's keeping you from being wanted.

Confidence is sexy.

Shaming is ugly.

Think about it.

Ah, no. I've gotten some pretty hateful treatment from women based solely on my size. Comments like "slut" and "*kitten*" based entirely on the fact that I'm thin and being told right to my face that I should just stop starving myself so I can be thin and steal everyone else's man. Being ostrasized from a group of "friends" because they were all bigger than me and thought I'd make them look bad. Being called "skeleton girl". When a group of women look at you and laugh blatantly and whisper comments to each other and you know it's about your size. It's not any different.

To the OP, I don't really mind within the boundaries of extremes. I don't get turned on by skeletons, nor do I like having to hold things out of the way to get access to areas. If neither applies, I wouldn't rule anything out based solely on body type.

One of my best friends is morbidly obese. She's one of the most popular girls I know, always has been. She's well over 100 lbs. overweight. She's got one of the best personalities I've ever seen, is one of the best dancers I've ever seen. She's never been without a man in her life and is happily married. It's not about size, it's about attitude.

I prefer a man with a bit of meat on them

At first I would say skinny, because the chubbier guys I've dated had some serious insecurity and self-esteem issues associated with being a little bigger, but I guess skinny guys can have their esteem issues with being smaller.. I would prefer to date a guy who is comfortable with who they are as a person, chubby or skinny.

Most of the threads on here involve body shamming... and its all the skinny people doing it

BS.

In this thread alone there are examples of body shaming towards thinner women.

You are a sad, sad person.

I'm all for them skinny. I've dated both, but I've found my preference lies in the tall and uber skinny. Mmmm. YUP.

Edit to say when I mean both, I literally mean from 350lbs down to my current boyfriend who is 145. They're ALL good..it's about ATTITUDE and personality!!!!

I don't believe that for a second. The reason most people are on here is because at some point they weren't skinny.

There is a difference between failing to sympathise with those with attitude problems, losing patience with those who refuse to follow sensible advice, and body shaming.

who cares?

I care!!!! I mean seriously though, as long as she has nice teeth!!!!!

RIGHT?!!

Well my cousin has been hospitalized and gone through treatment for anorexia twice, cannot walk through a mall in the greater los angeles area without getting phone numbers from men, offers to model, her gas pumped, her groceries carried to her apartment, offers to go on a yacht for the weekend..etc. She'll tell you personally that after she hits the 110 pound mark the offers stop drifting off, but they pour in at 95 pounds....
