I am a very secure, well-educated slightly overweight female myself and I don't find that people disrespect me, but I do see them disrespect others. I was just wondering what makes people act like that.

Well alot of people are intimidated themselves and could care less how they treat other people because they have no respect. I heard this saying once "Hurting people hurt other people".
They look at the outward apperance instead of looking at what is on the inside.

Respect is a dying breed it seems, no one can get any dag gone respect, I would like to know what happened to reality, if we have these shows, where are all the real people? Since when did we become plus size? How about normal size, people don't have to show respect for overweight people because our whole entire industry doesn't, anyone have trouble finding a great outfit ofr a size 16? yeah as soon as they start making clothing that makes sense for us real women then why would anyone think to even bother to respect those that can't even fit in society cause they can't fit in any of the dam exceptable clothes, Want reality watch Phat girlz, great movie and more people should recognize it's okay to eat, it's okay to have a round tummy, and by golly it's okay to like it!!!!! big hugs to you and many others who need some realness

For the same reason people disrespect anyone else who looks a little different. Society has to do a far better job of frowning on this kind of behavior. Besides at the rate obesity is increasing in this country, they will be on the receiving end of this treatment soon enough

1. They are different
2. People believe they have not exercised self control
3. People believe they are unhealthy and will be a burden on our tax system when they age and are broke
4. Most people that are obese are not as successful as people that are in shape, so there is a feeling that they are inferior
5. Not pleasing to the majority of people's eyes
6. Associated with being sweaty and smelly
7. Does not dress as nice because clothes are harder to find that fit and look good
8. I can go on
NOT SAYING I FEEL THIS WAY JUST ANSWERING A QUESTION

They are immature. I have friends that I consider overweight, but I do not make fun of them. Some overweight people do not have self control on what they eat, going out for a nice walk or jog, and some are afraid of what people will say about them.
My advise go out and talk to some of the overweight people, you might just learn something.

It's not disrespect but more so feeling sorry for that person who is over weight as they have let themselves get to that point and never tried to stop it. I am always happy to see when an over weight person wants to change their ways it will be so much better for them in the long run and it changes there life i have had a couple of friends like that. as its not what you look like but who you are inside and the main reason for people becomming over weight is sometimes the parents to blame as they might have feed the kids junk or if it starts as an adult it is because they get lazy.
But I dont disrespect over weight people but look at them and wonder how could you let yourself get like that?

i myself am overweight but it was a lot worse . i only eat 2 times per day first in morn 2nd is lunch i exercises 3 nites per week . so i try i see these skinny people that eat 1/2 pizza then go to bed never exerciser but never gain weight . they are lucky if they where able to get fat i am sure that they would not put forth the effort that i do to say at 235. they think all fat people never do anything to try to help themselves. some don't . but some do

They give the appearance that they don't take care of themselves. The receptionist at work is really overweight. She sits at the front desk and eats all day. She waddles around the office barefoot............she just reminds me of trailer trash!

because many people view overweight people as lazy- like they just sit around and eat all the time. new studies, however, are showing that overweightness can actually be caused by bacterial microbes! and it's genes too.

they need to grow up and check themselves, people can be soo mean... i am overweight and have been all my life, if someone is rude to me, i dismiss them with a look and walk away. i do not care what other people say to me or about me, i know i am a good person and a better friend to people that are real....they are not worth your time or being around you....
