Why do guys put girls down about their weight?

Question

Alot of guys USED to put me down about my weight for some reason. I had this one guy for class that used to talk about my weight and poke on my stomache and had a nickname for me which I don't remember it. I was one of the thinnest girls in the class yet he would only put me down and nobody else. He isn't the only one who ever did that either. It seems like everyone is always targeting at me for some reason. I don't have anything to worry about anymore but now I am obsessed with my weight. I am not anorexic or anything but I get very self cautious about it. Why are people so mean?

oops! self conscious...... my bad.

Actually, this guy did have feelings for me but he made it clear. He used to cry for me all the time which I never understood. I didn't see how he could have feelings for me and put me down at the same time. No, I have not been picked on recently about my weight but thats because I lost alot. At the time I was getting picked on, I weighed about 125 and now I weigh 100. I am alot happier with myself than I ever have been. I was just curious to why some people are like that.

Answer 1

You don't look fat at all.
Maybe he's targeting you because you won't sleep with the bum~~

Answer 2

I think you somehow give off a vibe that you're self *conscious* about your weight. I think I used to do that too. Now that I'm older and I look back on it, I didn't truly love myself the way I was and people can pick up on that. And mean people who pick up on it will use it to taunt you.

The only thing you can do is be happy with yourself the way you are. People will sense it. And if they know you love yourself the way you are, they can't make fun of you because it'll have no effect. It'll just roll right off of you.

This really sounds like young woman's syndrome. Once you get into your 30's, this will all be behind you and you won't give a rip what people think about you. You'll live your life to please yourself, not everyone else!

We live in A society were people look at thing different, Early year around the 19Century people saw Over weight people, and actual were a lot of Stars Hollywood. But then time started to turn the human mind . and evolved it to the thin women. Magazine Television and etc... came and started to change people. You should never do thing to your Mentally Mind Norw physically Because First and more important there is people that don't have no legs no arms . and you think that you over weight people actually have there skin Burned, God Almighty Help me and forgive me for saying these facts . You should not want to look like a person in a Television but actually work out for you heath, Maybe it is very Hard for you, But I am actually Mentally sick Because I over damage my mind of depression, Bottle up feeling. Like I always Say " If your looking up Always remember to look down, because there people actually there."

You have to learn to discriminate. Don't yield to peer pressure. Back in the day in the south everyone would be tellng you to get a black slave. Do you listen to them or do what you feel is right? Read this webpage all about you. Increases self-confidence. Then click on advice for teenage girls since it deals with this issue. Keep in mind that everyday lots of women get raped, beat up and/or killed by men. That is the world you live, in at least in USA. Being a man I can choose to go along with most men and treat women like crap (unless I want to sleep with them) or do what I feel is right.

Answer 5

If you're thin, then don't worry about it. Maybe people are jealous. You're only a target if you make yourself one.

Is this high school? Whatever, don't worry about it - you'll be out in a few years, then you'll have real life to deal with, career, marriage, family, etc... Some moron making fun of your fat belly (even when it's not fat) isn't worth wasting time and energy with.

Love, Jack.

Answer 6

First of all, I am very sad to hear that people have treated you in this fashion. It's not fair at all. I know it's hard, but try not to let it get to you. Some people are just so full of themselves and arrogant that they feel they have nothing better to do then pick on someone else and make their lives miserable. Don't let them get you down, okay? :) The important thing is that you are happy and content with yourself, and do your best not to let other people's actions get to you, they are trying to upset you just to get a kick out of it, please don't let that happen.

How are things at present? Do these people or others of similar mentality still pick on you? It's your own opinion of yourself that counts and no one elses. These other individuals have the problem and not you, please remember that. :)

Answer 7

Unfortuantely, he saw that it was getting to you and he decided to have fun at your expense. In the future, show no emotion when people act stupid-they soon move on-He probably didn't think you were fat at all, he just liked to see you react to what he had to say.

Answer 8

probably for the same reason girls put down guys because of their weight. You don't think girls make fun of fat, out of shape guys?

Answer 9

Answer 10

When little boys poke girls etc it'e because they can't think of a better way of getting their attention..take it as a compliment

Answer 11

In his weird twisted way it sounds like he had a crush on you. Men are dumb like that. But you are right, they need to leave women alone about those things, women are paranoid enough about weight!
