<p>"Frankly I don't care what fat people do with themselves, I just get annoyed when they say they don't understand why people aren't attracted to them, that people are too shallow, etc. If you don't want to make "sacrifices" to be healthy, don't expect most people to be attracted to you."</p>

<p>Ok, so the fault lies with the fat people. It is ok for us to be shallow. It is them to blame that they don't look like we want them to. And because they refuse to conform to the standards of beauty we'll call them lazy and stupid for it. We won’t hire them for good jobs, we’ll pay them less meanwhile requiring them to pay more for health insurance, we won’t date them, and we’ll make derisive jokes and comments about them. I haven't personally tried losing 80 pounds, but it is not sacrifice at all to starve yourself for a year in order to lose them. And if anyone has a food addiction, it should be easy to get over it, just like it is easy for drug addicts and alcoholics to control their behavior.</p>

<p>I’ve seen a program on TV some time ago dedicated to studying how people of different weight get hired. A woman went from employer to employer the first as her normal-weighting self. The second time she was made to look ~50 pounds overweight. She was denied the jobs twice as many times. Employers don’t want to hire fat people. In the past they also did not want to hire minorities and women. Currently, a taller person might get a larger salary than a shorter person, a man might get paid more that a woman. I do not think that this looks over abilities approach is just. And any of you guys who are demonizing fat people here as lazy and irresponsible are just going to grow up to continue this pattern.</p>

<p>Also, fat is almost always equaled to unhealthy. I personally have known two overweight guys in college who would exercise very frequently. But they both also ate hearty meals. So while being physically active, they did carry extra pounds on them. Does this make them unhealthy? I've also see fat girls exercise much more than thin girls. Some thin girls lack stamina because they eat so little and have nothing to burn. They were spent after 20 minutes in gym, while some overweight girls exercised for hours. So it is not fair to equal thin to healthy and fat to unhealthy. Fat people do go to gym. And thin people do have health problems. When you read a list of health problems overweight people might face, it might seem like all those pertain solely to fat people. Besides, if you follow through some studies, you'll see that being moderately overweight might predispose you to certain health problems only somewhat. It is being obese that can increase your chances significantly. But you know, being sexually promiscuous can also endow you with a lot of health problems. Yet, we don’t label people who have many partners as irresponsible and unhealthy.</p>

<p>"They're still responsible for being fat."
Right, and we're responsible to being so shallow and treating them badly based solely on their looks.</p>

<p>"I think you can blame people for their genes."
No, you cannot blame people for their genes. You can blame them for what they do with them. But, of course, if you aren't in same boat as them you'll have no idea how much effort it might take them to overcome their nature. So I personally try to restrain myself from any blaming or judging.</p>

<p>“Psshhh, I would say 75-80% of fat people are just lazy.”
This would mean that significantly fewer overweight people would be able to go through college and get graduate degrees. Yet, if you look around there are many overweight lawyers, physicians, professors, bankers, etc. So your assumption is not correct. Overweight people attain just in much in life as normal-weight and thin people yet they face a lot of prejudice in our society.</p>

<p>Well, she started it! </p>

<p>And I finished it, hehe. I probably shouldn't feel that happy about being mean, but you'd have to know that girl to understand.</p>

<p>"I haven't personally tried losing 80 pounds, but it is not sacrifice at all to starve yourself for a year in order to lose them. And if anyone has a food addiction, it should be easy to get over it, just like it is easy for drug addicts and alcoholics to control their behavior"</p>

<p>Yeah ok... if I tried to lose 80lbs I'd die considering thats more than 1/2 my weight now but w/e. No, maybe it isn't easy to get over a food addiction, but it shouldn't just be considered okay. Alcoholics and drug addicts have problems and some try to get help, but if they don't, they can't blame anyone else for this. Same with food addicts. If they don't choose to get help and try to get over it, I'm not just going to say 'well, okay, it's not their fault, i should hire them for this job.' would i hire a drug addict for a job? obviously not.</p>

<p>I definitely agree that around 75-80% of fat people are lazy in that they don't exercise or eat right. I've never met one of these fat girls that you say exercise for "hours" but that is not the norm. I don't see how it's possible for one to eat normally, exercise for hours a day, and still be overweight, because the only extremely overweight person I've known (who had 2 obese parents) lost a lot of weight once she stopped eating excessively and started exercising about 45 min a day, and now she isn't really thin but she's definitely not overweight. If she can do it, anyone without health problems can. And this is not through starvation, obviously starving yourself slows down your metabolism, making the problem even worse. Small healthy meals throughout the day work just fine
Additionally, if these fat girls are exercising so much and are so healthy and fit, why don't we see overweight professional female athletes? You'd be hard-pressed to find an overweight pro-runner, swimmer, WNBA player, etc</p>

<p>"But you know, being sexually promiscuous can also endow you with a lot of health problems. Yet, we don’t label people who have many partners as irresponsible and unhealthy."</p>

<p>Ha! You obviously haven't had the pleasure of hearing one of my many "slut rants" that I give from time to time.</p>

<p>By the way, being overweight is linked to a multitude of serious health problems. People can deny that all they want, but denile isn't going to help them when their health finally catches up to them.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, many people are obese because of the unhealthy eating patterns their parent/s taught them from an early age. I personally find it absolutely disgusting when I see 7 year olds who are bigger than I am, and the sad thing is that it's not even their fault at that point.</p>

185

<p>You do not have to be a professional athlete to exercise and not be considered lazy. When people look and see a fat girl, they immediately think that she gorges on junk food, and doesn't know what gym is, and she also lacks intelligence and self control. I've gone to gym all through my college and I've observed many people there. I've seen girls who are 10/20/30 pounds overweight put in a lot of work. I would never call them lazy. Some of those girls also have high GPAs and I'd never call them stupid either. I will not do so until you can show me a reliable study that would show me that fat people are lazy in many aspects of their lives and have lower IQs.</p>

<p>" I don't see how it's possible for one to eat normally, exercise for hours a day, and still be overweight"
They do not eat normally. They may eat healthy foods (i.e. not junk) but in amounts that cancel out or even be in excess of all that they burn while exercising. You do not have to overeat significantly each day because extra 20-30 pounds can simply accrue little by little over years.</p>

<p>Dieting is a euphemism for starvation. If you want to lose weight, you have to eat less than your body requires, which means you'll be starving yourself. You cannot eat exactly as much as you expend or you won’t lose weight. And if you eat less, you body begins to slowly starve. Nowadays, we call it dieting. And you are right, any dieting does slow down your metabolism.</p>

<p>"would i hire a drug addict for a job? obviously not"
But you would hire a sociopath, or someone sexually promiscuous, or an alcoholic because you'd never know these people are this way simply by interviewing them. While with fat people, it is written all over their bodies that they are fat. And this doesn’t seem fair to them, does it? Besides, if that drug addict has a record of being reliable and can prove he or she will do a superior job, I personally will not consider his or her drug addiction is a moral stain or a factor that disqualifies him or her from having the job I'm offering simply because everyone around is saying that "drugs are bad".</p>

<p>"By the way, being overweight is linked to a multitude of serious health problems. People can deny that all they want, but denile isn't going to help them when their health finally catches up to them"</p>

<p>How much overweight are you talking about? It does depend on the extent. I am not arguing that being obese isn't very very bad for own health, but what about people who carry 10-20 extra pounds? They get put in the same group with the rest of the significantly overweight and obese people in people's less than generous opinions of them.</p>

<p>no, i haven't seen any - too may sluts at your school or somehting?</p>

186

<p>i have a lot more respect for a fat person at the gym who is at least trying to get to a healthy state than fat person who doesn't. you should take care if your body, you only get one.</p>

<p>coming from a college guy, girls that take care of themselves and are fit are the sexiest. the words "fit" and "thin" are not interchangable. stacy keibler and jessica beil are fit. lindsey lohan is a thin, skinny, cokewhore.</p>

187

<p>Oy...the people in my school are disgusting. Like sex in the bathrooms during class distgusting...and rampet STDs disgusting...and 20+ girls a year pregnant disgusting (they're far too moral to have abortions, so they breed more stupid sluts instead).</p>

<p>I'm talking to the point of being considered obese. Being slightly overweight is actually better than being slightly underweight as far as health is concerned. </p>

<p>Just to take my age and height for example: a girl who's 5'10 can weigh anywhere from around 130 to 170 and be considered in the healthy BMI range, but I'd consider girls weighing 170 overweight (barring athletes who are practically all muscle) because they aren't within the ideal body fat percentage range.</p>

<p>::edit::</p>

<p>It just depends on how you interpret the word thin. I don't call girls like Lindsay Lohan thin, I call them human lolipops.</p>

188

<p>No, you don't have to be a professional athlete, but if these fat people who exercise so much are as common as you make it seem, why are there NO overweight professional WBNA players, runners, swimmers,etc? A fat person should be just as likely as a thin person to have the athletic ability, fitness level, and self-discipline to make it to that level, right? </p>

<p>Also no, you don't have to "starve" yourself to lose weight. Fat people eat MORE than their bodies "require", so if they exercise and just eat what their bodies actually require, they will lose weight. You said it yourself: they OVEReat.</p>

189

<p>Oh wow, that does sound disgusting. My hs was like very untight in that respect. Drinking was rampant though cuz it was a small town with 20K people and nothing to do for miles and miles ... and then people took all the ap classes around because many of us just wanted to leave that forsaken town and go somewhere exciting for college... </p>

<p>"A fat person should be just as likely as a thin person to have the athletic ability, fitness level, and self-discipline to make it to that level, right?" - No, because a fat person may carry same amount of muscle an cardiovascular ability but they also carry more weight to it than a normal-weighting person. If you have the same amount of leg and heart muscles as guy next door but also have 20 extra pounds to carry around with you, he'll definitely outcompete you in sports.</p>

<p>"so if they just eat what their bodies actually require, they will lose weight." - No, because if they eat exactly the amount they spend, they will lose no weight. They overate at one point in time to gain weight. To lose weight they have to undereat, aka diet or slowly starve themselves. This follows from a subtopic in physics called thermodynamics. That if you put exactly same energy into a system as the system uses up, the total amount of energy in the system does not change. That is if they don't starve themselves by eating less than they spend, they don't lose weight. It all boils down to walking around hungry all the time for prolonged periods of time, depending on how much extra weight you're planning to lose. Like if you're obese, you'll probably have to walk around hungry a year or even over a year. And feeling hungry all the time does take an emotional toll on dieters. People snap into anger or apathy much easily, not to mention that you cannot study and memorize stuff very well if you're a hungry dieting college student. I mean how well do you think you'll function on daily basis if you're doing everything while being hungry?</p>

<p>Oh, we have the drinking thing as well. My town only has about 5,000 people...and we're in a dry county. It's some kind of big thing for a lot of kids to go to one of our neighboring towns to get beer, vodka, etc so they can get ****faced drunk (or just go to a party in one of them). </p>

<p>I've honestly never seen the point in the whole party/drinking thing. There's always the Monday after where the guys are showing all the trashy pictures they took with their camera phones of drunk girls doing stupid stuff with random guys to everyone who will look. Definitely not my thing.</p>

192

<p>i kinda feel sorry for overweighed girls. :( I try to respect them in person, but they never seem to be attractive to me, unless i'm wasted.</p>

<p>Once this girl walked into my fraternity for a party, this one pledge immediately shouted: "Fat chicks in the house!" It was sad.</p>

193

<p>"They overate at one point in time to gain weight. To lose weight they have to undereat, aka diet or slowly starve themselves."</p>

<p>You don't have to be constantly hungry on a diet, your stomach shrinks after about 3 days and your appetite decreases if you have the self-discipline to be in slight discomfort in the beginning. Dieters should also eat protien to start the day because it keeps you full for longer. It's really not that hard to lose weight.</p>

194

<p>The types of chicks college guys are into most are the ones into casual sex.</p>

195

<p>lol casual</p>

196

<p>I guess kihyle is going to have a sorry life if he/she doesnt feel the need to sacrafice in order to get what u want.</p>

197

<p>agreed. I just thought of a comparison. In my mind it's like this: let's say Johnny is not naturally really intelligent. He studies a little and gets a 'B' on a test. Nick is naturally pretty intelligent and studies a little and gets an 'A'. If Johnny went to the teacher and said he deserved an A because he studied the same amount as Nick, we'd say that's ridiculous, right? Either study more or deal with the B. To me, that is the equivalent of an overweight girl who exercises a little and overeats a little saying that she deserves the same benefits as a thin girl who eats the same amount.<br>
We all have to sacrafice in one area or another if we want something bad enough, so if Johnny thinks there are benefits to getting good grades, he should earn them, just as an overweight girl who thinks there are benefits to being thin should earn them. Just because someone has it easier than others in one area of their life doesn't mean they don't have to work harder than others in different areas.</p>

198

<p>dude we just like em with good skin, ok face, who doesnt party 24/7 and who is outgoing, gg</p>

199

<p>unwritten02 - very nice analogy.</p>

200

<p>A large part of it is genetic I think.</p>

<p>A friend of mine is thin as a rail and eats about the worst food you can possibly think of in regards to weight: pizza, hamburgers, soda, tons of sugar. Heck, I think he lives on fast food period. On top of it all, he never exercises - and I mean never.</p>

<p>On the other hand, a girl I know has been a vegetarian for much of her life, and is real up on eating good and watching her diet. She also says she goes to the gym a few times a week and is in some sport... volleyball I think. She's quite fat though and can't seem to get it off.</p>

<p>That's not to say that most people couldn't lose weight if they really put some effort into it. I just think it's nearly impossible, or at least extremely difficult, for some people, no matter how hard they try.</p>
