Does anyone else get a little angry when they see a fat guy in a little coat and then think to themselves, "Damn, that guy wouldn't tear that coat if he was in shape"...or is it just me who thinks that sometimes? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oGWbt3DSje0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oGWbt3DSje0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Whenever I see that clip it makes me strangely nostalgic. Chris Farley was hilarious. . . .My favorite SNL cast member ever, for sure -- although I haven't really seen any pre-90's SNL.
Simple premises are not accepted by the overweight community. There's always 15 different reasons for being chubs.
I will make a bet that 10 of those 15 reasons are laziness and not getting some exercise. "I don't have time!", my ass... but you have time to visit Cici's all-you-can-eat buffet, huh?
Yesterday one of my friends asked, "Hey man, how are you losing all that weight"?? I told him I run around 5 miles every other day, do some weight training and a healthy nutrition. And he sais, "damn running? I work and I have all kinds of things going thru my head, with running I'll have more. I cant run". I was thinking in my head, wow what an excuse. Hey I got tired of being a fat ass. I wasnt a damn whale or anything but I was easily 40-45 lbs overweight. I told myself time to give up the lame excuses and start doing something about it. 3 and a half months later Ive lost around 35 pounds and just started p90x this Monday. Forget the excuses.
I get mad when I see fat guys in skinny jeans. I actually get mad every time I see a guy wearing skinny jeans, because they're so gay.
A fat guy simply is not in the same category as a fat chick, and never will be. Guys hang out with each other regardless of what 'shape' their friends are in. All they care about is whether or not they enjoy each others' company. We are definitely shallow about women, but not about other guys. Women, on the other hand, are incredibly conscious of their friends or whom they hang out with. If you have not already done so, try to notice groups of women who hang out or socialize together at the mall or at the club. Women are mostly concerned with how they are perceived, so they almost never hang out with someone they consider to be much hotter/cooler than themselves, because it is bad for their self esteem. I will take my sister in law, for example. She is not a looker, to say the least, but very successful and career oriented and is a good wife by all measures. However, I must have met about a million of her female friends (including her high school friends) and not a single one of them would be considered a 'looker'. I have noticed that when I brought a girlfriend along at times and we all went on double-dates, she would be visibly bothered, uncomfortable and sometimes outright disinterested if the girl I am out with is the turning heads type. However, when I have a more 'homey' looking girl, she would suddenly take interest in her and stay involved in the conversation. The above was also true of some of my female friends and colleagues. In almost any informal setting, the not so hot ones tend to get very insecure about hotter girls, especially if there is a male around. Moral of the story: guys may be shallow when it comes to women, but women are a thousand times more shallow and insecure when it comes to pretty much anyone, male or female.
This depends on confidence, also. I can tell you that 90% of my girl's friends (of a pool of roughly 10) are very attractive. Hell, I had people salivating over one of the girls she brought out with us on Sunday.
Not really. Being fat and wearing a little coat is a lifestyle choice for the most part that doesn't appeal to me, it does to others. If you're young and you've already let yourself go it's always going to be an uphill battle against coat sizes and elasticity. Either a coat works for you or it doesn't, you can't ask it to go against its size or try to stretch it into shape for your liking. One could present a valid argument that fat people are more complacent than people in shape, and Texans as a whole are less interested in coats that fit them and sizes than say girls from Europe which leads to them using coats that are too small as a crutch for an "inactive" mind.
I get offended when I see a fat dude lift up his dirty t-shirt to scratch his huge and nasty fat gut. Scratch over the shirt or wait till you get out of the public.
