Here's a few observations:
1. Overweight people are viewed as less credible.
2. In a retail setting, I've noticed that men get quicker and better service.
3. Middle aged and older women become "invisible" to society.
4. Career wise - it's acceptable for men to go gray/ bald, grow a paunch, have bags under their eyes and sagging eye lids, but the American culture doesn't make the same allowances for a woman.
5. "Punk-looking" young people aren't taken seriously and are viewed as "threatening."
6. Men assign value to women only if women fit men's stereotype of sex appeal.
Stereotypes are preconceived and over-simplified ideas of the characteristics which typify a person or thing. When we allow ourselves to be "sucked into" stereotypical conceptions, we slap a roadblock on our minds and hearts and do harm to the object of our stunted thinking.

Fat people are desperate for mates, and will sleep with anyone to fulfill their sexual cravings.
