Just keep telling yourself that you are empathy-challenged. Or you can just make us happy and call yourself rude.
Really. What difference does it make what fat people want to call it?
I mean, thin people like to call themselves "skinny" but others call them "bones" or skeletor.

As a rule of thumb for evaluating the use of "thick", look for basic feminine proportions to be maintained. There are quite hefty females who still have the hourglass shape. I had an old partner from Belize by way of South Side Chicago who loved "thick" women. He put it this way---crudely, but clearly: "I don't @#$% wit nothin that's bigger in the middle than it is on the top and bottom".

i dont care what they call themselves, the part that bothers me is the fact that they try to hide their eating problems. you cant get fat unless you eat a lot of food, simple as that. its like they dont care, then again many use it as a drug to cope with depression and other things. its gross to me because they dont even try, they are weak, mentally and physically and they know it, yet they feel the need to do NOTHING about it

It's part of the fat acceptance movement.

For the record, I'm not taking a shot at fat women. I have no issues at all but being in denial about your health is not good.

Blame it on the "thirsty" dudes out here. So many desperate men out here that are willing to tell a woman anything she wants to hear to get some sex. These men pump up these ladies heads calling them thick when they know that these ladies are overweight.

These guys should be ashamed of themselves.

You get fat when you don't exercise. Has very little if anything to do with eating too much.

Exercising is to get in shape/fit. It's their diet that makes people 'thick'.

You can exercise all you want, but no matter how hard you try, it is almost impossible to out-exercise a bad diet.

She has to have a waist to be thick. Imo. Concave curves, not convex.

You clearly know nothing at all about the basics of weight maintenance/loss.
