Why do people have such a problem with "fat" people?

Question

I admit I always had issues with my weight. But now I'm losing it and keeping off which is great. But while being big was not for me, I do see a lot of women who I do find very beautiful, but they are bigger and okay with it. But every time I hear someone claimed the fact that they're fat and okay with it, they are always so many people who make awful and rude comments to these women; none of which are helpful. It's almost like most people HATE fat people, well actually more like fat WOMEN. None of these reasons are why I lost weight, in fact I did not get a lot comments about it. I just do not understand why people won't let a big girl have any self-esteem. Care to shed light on this?
Please- no stupid and ignorant comments.

Tяιиа: No, actually you didn't answer my question at all.

Answer 1

Well, I know a curvy cutie that is 5'5" 180lbs size 10 and she's hot! I think chunky is funky! Ooh baby that just means there's more to cuddle and snuggle with a chunky bear! =<)

Answer 2

People are insecure of themselves so by calling anyone who is heavier than them fat it makes them feel good and every woman feels fat nowadays because you can't open up a magazine or turn on the tv without seeing stick skinny models who are supposedly beautiful. I personally always felt like i was overwieght I was 5"4 and 125lbs before (im preggo now lol) ... far from what obese is but i always thought I could lose a few pounds. In society if your skinny and in shape people automatically presume you neat and orderly and you work out. However If your overwieght people see you as a lazy slob... I don't get it either. Congrats on losing weight!!!

Answer 3

First of all congratulations! It is always good to hear someone taking positive action to improve themselves and even better for someone who does it for themselves and not to impress others! Now about people making fun of others usually stems from their own fears. It is a reflection on how they may see themselves. Fear comes in many disguises. Hate is a strong word and perhaps used in replace of the word fear. There are allot of health issues too being fat as also being too thin. And the list goes on. You yourself should be proud of doing what you know is right for you and perhaps encourage others to take positive steps to improve their lives too. Some may be happy with how they feel about themselves but you did not! That is the difference. Do what you need to do to have others see you happy and set an example! God Bless

Answer 4

well, it depends on HOW overweight your talking.
As an American living in Italy I just cant believe how fat America is. I'm a size 7-8 and I am considered FAT here. (Ive gained since last summer, I was a 5-6)
I used to be a big girl, but I lost that weight and now I go up and down. Regardless, its not healthy to be overweight.
The problem with people seriously overweight is it effects other people. Like, my mother is an R.N. and she has pulled HER back out and had to get surgery herself because she had to lift an overweight person.

Imagine if there was an emergency and everyone needed to RUN, overweight and out of shape people will slow everyone else down behind them.

Being big is one thing, but overeating is another.
Its frustrating to me how people can look in the mirror naked and accept that. I never felt this way until I moved to Europe. I was so used to big people in America it was normal to see overweight people, ESP. older people.

Its an American thing. I think Americans need to CHILL on the portion sizes and stop eating 'past full'.
Exercise. Italians walk and ride their bikes everywhere.

I mean, its not healthy for their heart, their blood, their entire body to be overweight and not giving a crap what you look or feel like is the problem.

I dont really know what else to say about it besides is an American thing and its UNHEALTHY for everyone. Nix the soda, french fries, ranch dressing, eating past 6 oclock at night.

Answer 5

Congrats on losing weight! And keeping it off! Thats a hard thing to do...

Well, some of the fatter people are fat because they eat alot, they can chose to lose weight, but they dont. Thats probably why people laugh.

Some people are just born like that, they can't help it. They are just big boned. They shouldn't be laughed at, but then again, NOBODY should be laughed at.

If you are just big boned, you should have nothing to worry about. Atleast your not one of those freaky anorexic person who could die any minute, you can actually survive, cause women aren't supposed to be super skinney, they should have some meat on their bones.

Hope I answered your question!!!

Answer 6

There are a lot of men who love women with some meat on their bones. Personally I love women like this. These women have beautiful voluptous figures and they are so much fun to be with.

People like Camryn Manheim, Queen Latifah. These women are so cute and adorable.

My problem is all of the fat women have boyfriends or they are married. The big girls are always getting the guys.

The bottom line is I love Big Girls.

Answer 7

The only thing I can think of is the way society veiws it. TV makes commercials with scrawny gals in them draped all over the guys. No matter the size of the guys belly he has a small girl draped on him.
Then the media tries to tell people what is and isn't sexy. Supermodels so to speak might eat a carrot stick a day to keep their small figure to me that looks disgusting but society says its sexy. People want what others have so they attack the easiest target they can find. They want others to miserable so they want feel so bad about themselves....
We are programmed to think that way through the media,commercials and yes even barbie dolls. Every girl has a problem with one body part or another it seems, but thats what makes them attractive to me not being the main stream medias form of sexy.
People are also just rude to each other in general.

Answer 8

The truth is simple and to the point. Alot of people feel insecure,so they try to pick on anybodies visible flaws,to make themselves feel better. My Mom told me about this. When sombody is that nasty (even all the thousands of people that do say mean things about girls weight),they aren't happy people. I believe big girls are just as good as anybody else. And to anybody that has ever had a comment on their weight,you are beautiful,and dont let anybody keep you down! I hope I helped.

Answer 9

That is one of the best questions i've ever heard unlike some other dumb one's...Anyways...I think that people have problems with "fat" people because they preffer skinny people because they look hotter or because they can do more popular stuff.But truly that isnt true.
A fat person can do just the same as skinny people..Dont you think..To tell you the truth i am really slim..But i'd rather be fat..My bones show and i just hate it!!!
Personally im rooting 4 the "fat" people..They rock!!!
And besides mostly all the friendliest people i have met r fat people.Some skinny people think they are all that and tease people...That is MY opinion.

Answer 10

those who criticize those who are fat may be insecure of themselves. they have nothing better to do or think too. that's very unfortunate.
those who are big but beautiful can carry the way they look regardless of their weight. they love themselves the way they are. everyone should be that way. those who criticize them do not love themselves and others for their rude manners/comments. we are all beautiful.
