No, I think this is a myth, stemming for the use of 'Jolly' as a euphemism for 'fat'. The meanest person I know is a very large woman. And I know several slender people who are very kind. Mean people, unfortunately, are spread throught he population, regardless of weight. So are nice people.

No. I think the more happy a person is the more kind they are. So, some heavy people are still happy then they are kind. But there are many who are not happy and are not kind.
I think it is the impression that they are not as vindictive as not heavy people that makes us think that.

No. I think the heavier someone is, the more forgiving they are of other people's problems, because THEY have problems that everyone can see. If they are angry at themsleves, and unforgiving of themselves, then they will treat others badly, too.
They also might joke and laugh and put themselves down, to divert attention from themselves. It is certainly easier to take joking from yourself than from someone else.
Skinny people often don't understand the horrible challenges fat people face, so they can be judgemental, and unkind.
We all have something "wrong" with us, and we need to put our time and energy into fixing ourselves first, then help others to overcome their challenges.

A lot of the time since they're generally unattractive (Im not saying big isnt beautiful, so dont flame me...) thats their way of "weighing" out their physical imperfections. If youre unattractive AND rude, its a given not many people will like you.

In many cases this is true, but not always. There are all kinds of people out there, regardless of their outward appearances. Some are mean spirited and hateful while others are loving, caring and kind. It all depends.

Starving oneself (dieting) makes a person mean but I happen to know heavy people who are very mean all the time. I don't think weight has anything to do with this.

yes, i generally think that bigger people are nicer. i guess they seem more accepting towards others faults , and more understanding. they are less likely to have that "*****" tendency.
i wanted a fat college roomate :). no such luck , though.
