How do you handle yourself when you are the fat kid at a pool party with 3 other skinny people?

Question

I am fat and my friend is having a big pool party and I have to go swimming. But the worst part is, that I'm fat and that the 3 only other people there are skinny and good looking. On top of that, I have some acne on my stomach and it grosses people out. How do I hide these traits and how can I be considered cool at this party?!?! The party is on Monday!!!

Its not neccesseraly that my friends are mean its just that the girl that I will ask out is there and I don't want her to think that I am fat and ugly. Even though she can see without a shirt, thats not nearly as bad as without. And they won't say anything, I just don't want this girl to think worse of me.

Answer 1

Cannonball!

Honestly bro... skinny people are self concious about being scrawny and weak... I would try to have a good time and recognize that people who try to put you down are far more ugly and probably just trying to make up for some self confidence problem of thier own. Be comfortable with yourself, leave the acne alone, picking at it and trying to hide it will only make it worse, bro.

I hope you go and don't let silly things like your looks keep you away from it. Fun guys come out on top, trust me ^^

Answer 2

Go to wal-mart and get you a NICE light colored, button up, xtra large shirt and a package of muscle tees. Man! Be Cool! Be charming! Don't let the skinnys keep you from being you! Out dress them and put on the flava! Act like a gentalman, dress like a pimp. Be humble and flatter all the chicks (I'm guessing your a dude). If you are going to take off your shirt and go swimming, wear your tee in the water, just bring a dry one to change into. Wear your shorts high up on your belly and keep the tee tucked in. If you can't beat them with the looks then beat them with the charm! And if you ain't handsome, get a hair cut, some new clothes and a new pair of shoes. Like the red hot chili pepper song goes, "knock the world off it's feet and right onto it's head" Oh and remember, no mustard on that hotdog because you will end up getting it on your nice shirt -- and chicks dont dig that.

also if you got acne on your belly you need to go see the dermatoligist, if you cant do that you need to be using Benziol Peroxide "Persa-Gel" once or twice a day, which the doctor will tell you anyway...

And really how big of a pool party is this if there is only gonna be 3 other people there?

Shoot... I'm like your personal trainer now. I want a fully detailed report next tuesday!

Answer 3

my advice would be just to leave a shirt on when you go in the pool. i am moderately overweight myself, and I know what it's like to be the only fat person at a social gathering. just wear a shirt in the pool and don't worry about what other people might think. if the 3 other people you mentioned are real friends they won't make fun of you over how you look. if the girl you want to talk to sees you just acting cool and confident, she will think a lot more of you.

Answer 4

First you have to understand that there will be comments but if you don't show that its bothering you it will stop. You don't say how old you are but I'm thinking you are young. If it does keep up don't bow your head and look embarrassed. Just say something like Ya, Ya I know. It will drive them crazy if you don't give in. As for the acne wear a tee shirt. Try to get one with a funny saying on it. Why are you saying the other three are good looking and not you? If I were you I would try to find other friends. If they make remarks that are mean they are not your friends.

Answer 5

Well you can use alot of acne medicine in these couple of days on the problem areas. There a products that will zap them right away! & if you're really commited, don't eat too much until then & work out with sweats on, this will eliminate all of your water weight & then you'll look thinner. But the best advice of all is confidence! If you feel sexy, you will look it. Plus funny & charming guys who make others feel good, will make other's see you as an attractive guy. So be confident!!!! Trust me, it works!

Answer 6

First of all if they were really your friend it shouldn't matter how big or small you are. Remember that, AND about that acne just wear a t- shirt and swimming trunks.You might look different from everyone else but remember you're in front of your friends so have fun.

Answer 7

Remember one thing.....If you don't respect yourself, no one will! Try to be real nice so you can fit in and if anyone makes fun of you, just laugh and say, "well, when I get to be 7 feet, then I will be slim and trim like you guys. When you have time, try to do things that are good for you like walking and riding a bike and eating things that are good for you. Have a treat just once a week. Cut out the garbage completely. I have lost 40 lbs since January and never felt better.....you have to want to do this...it is either crap or get off the pot they say. Do it for yourself....your health and no one else...it is just for YOU

Answer 8

People respond to you by your actions; if your timid, self-conscious and worried about what we people think, your peers will pick up on and make your life hell. It's a pool party to swim and have fun-- do that. Remember if you can laugh at yourself, no one can make fun of you.

Answer 9

I think you should try to get sick. I am not trying to be cruel. I just know from some experience that if you have embarassment about your body, it's not fun to be around people who remind you of how fat you are. I guess it depends if they are your real friends?

Answer 10

Don't be self-conscious; that's the main thing. If these people are really your friends, they won't care about how you look. Just relax and enjoy yourself. Chances are, they'll be wrapped up in how they look too. You'll laugh about it later, trust me. :)
