What is the deal with all the skinny vs fat topics

Do guy really think that girls care that much about what they prefer? I would guess most girls are here to get comfortable with themselves and could care less what guys prefer.

It's sad to see all of these topics trying to pit the women against each other. We are all here for the same thing, support and motivation.

End Rant :happy:

    I agree, for a support site, there's a lot of hating going on!

    People have preferences, people have different opinions.

    We just need to learn that people shouldn't be allowed on public forums! It just causes arguements... :grumble:

    I agree that people have difference and preferences, it just seems lately there are topics started just to get the skinny vs fat debate going.....

    Judging from the responses in these posts, they kinda seem to.

    I don't think that's really been the intent of the topics. It just seems to be what happens in, well, any thread, ever. :P

    It seems to be the women attacking each other....I don't believe that "the guys" are out to pit women against each other. We get enough of that at Foxy Boxing.

    If we don't pit women against each other how are us ugly guys ever supposed to get a girl?

    Personally I kind of skip those topics, I find them a bit petty :laugh:

    I think if you like who you are and you are happy with you, then why does it matter so much what others think?

    There will always be people that like you and those that dont... just part of life!

    I think it's definitely a woman problem than guys pitting women against each other. Men and women all have their preferences and I don't get why anyone would argue about something like that. Lol

    It really goes way beyond just "those" topics. There is a ton of useless information in the chit-chat, fun, and games section. Don't get sucked into the drama.

    Women cause drama, this is fact (sorry, put a whole bunch of women in a room and usually there is drama). But, truly and honestly, I came to here to get motivated to lose weight, and be supported (I don't have much of a support system outside MFP) and the ladies and two guys that i am friends with have offered me that.....i don't care what people think of me and i'm perfectly content with being confident and believing in myself to lose the weight and be healthier :)

    I could care less what other guys prefer anyway. I already have a husband who wants me just the way I am (regardless if that is big or skinny!)

    I agree with this^ You will never be able to please everyone in this world, skinny or fat. I tend to keep away from these topics as well because I think they are the kind of things that lead to some of the insecurities women and even men have with their bodies. Honestly if you are truly happy with yourself screw what everyone else thinks. Just make sure you are healthy.

    someone (a girl) once told me (recently) that I was too skinny and men liked women with meat on their bones.... A) I workout and am in shape, strong and healthy for ME, B) my HUSBAND loves that I am stronger and healthier than I ever have been, C) I have a husband and could care less what any other guy thinks... and I DO have meat on my bones, just lean muscle mass and little body fat. I prefer me that way and my opinion is the only one that matters when it comes to me. :bigsmile:

    its fun and games

    its NOT done to pit us against each other, most unhappy women do that ish for free and are just thuper exthited to find a whole topic where they are allowed to get all pantie-twisted

    its nice when the category you actually fit into pops up

    its constant reassurance that everyone is someone's type

    HAVE FUN WITH IT! :smooched:

    But getting sucked into the drama is part of the "fun and games" section!

    I know several of the OP's did it just to laugh at all the idiots who took it seriously....

    Its because a lot of women are trying to bring overweight/obese women in vogue. Nothings cute about poor health though :(

    Oh yeah disclaimer: I go by the high body fat% definition of obesity btw
