I'm not a fan of "heavy set" or "rotund" rhinos but I do agree with you that they covertly wanted to insult the overweight girl which is absolutely cruel to do so at a social gathering. It shows how boring and vapid their own lives are.

And she should have gone home and cried why? I understand totally what Gym Rat said, because there are a lot of people who share his opinion in regards to dating overweight-full figured-voluptuous-big beautiful (did I cover all the bases there?) men and women...but there are a LOT of those people who are attractive, their size notwithstanding, but they get pigeonholed into the 'Nope---won't date'cha!' category because of it (size, that is)

The Facilitator was wrong, because I'm still wondering what gave him the cojones to go up to that woman and repeat Gym Rat's words verbatim...the woman, in my eyes anyway, was well within her rights to say what she said...

For the record, I am a good-sized guy (about 270-275 pounds) who happens to like big beautiful voluptuous women (heck, I married one LOL)...does this mean that I have some built-in dislike for slender/slim/fit women? Are you kidding? I am a man, with good to decent eyesight...if I find a woman attractive, no matter WHAT size she may be, then I will tell her...my own dating preference, however, is for voluptous women...always has been...

I think the thing here, was that Gym Rat shares a rather obnoxious trait with a lot of other people...that is, he believes he can say something like that to that woman, and because of her size, she's supposed to just fold up and cry and run away, and not have any pride or self esteem? He's just lucky he didn't run into my wife, or any of her friends, or some of my female relatives (of ALL shapes and sizes, mind you)...had he said that to THEM, he'd be looking in the phone book for a good dentist, because he and his teeth would have been forcibly separated...

Moral? You can't say just anything to anybody, and because of societal stereotypes, expect them not to respond...just because she was large, doesn't mean she shouldn't have an opinion, or pride in herself
i guess i see ur point but it was my OPINION (<---- key word there) and it was a JOKE maybe not the funniest or most kind but i wasnt being serious and btw on ur "dating preference" i thought u stated that u were married?

Yeah, I don't get your type of jokes but whatever. Karma has a way of kicking you in the azz so who knows what will happen in your life.

I don't get people like you that think it's ok to laugh at someone's discomfort or think it's funny to cruelly joke with people.

My buddy that was playing as the facilitator never mentioned to our buddy that the gal was very full figured. He does not like FF women. He's a true gym rat. Hell, he only ordered salad and a plain chicken breast and water,anyway....

He(gym rat) told my buddy(the facilitator) that there would be no chance in a romantic connection due in part to her size. The facilitator.........went and told the gal EXACTLY what our buddy said.

The gals reply was: "what's the problem, he can't handle a real women?"

Question: Is there a direct correlation between being full figured and being more of a women than non full figured women? I've heard full figured women say that before. Is that a self esteem issue?
No, the problem was that the facilitator was an idiot for telling the woman EXACTLY what your buddy said. There was no reason him to explain why your friend wasn't interested. Imagine if some woman came up to you and said her friend isn't attracted to you because she thinks you're fat and ugly. Wouldn't that offend you? Her "real woman" response was obviously meant to knock him down a few pegs. I'll never understand why people can't reject others and still leave them with a little dignity. I would never tell a FF woman that I rejected her because of her weight, even if it were true.

This type of mentality is an insecurity within itself.

Yes, I'm married...happily at that...and one thing I DON'T do is lie...I made that remark about preference to make a point in the conversation, to wit, I prefer to date and/or marry voluptuous women, with no disrespect intended toward their slender sisters...fair enough?

Also---'those who pity themselves really deserve the comments that are made'? You're kidding, right?

Because when those that are 'commented on' decide to fight back (i.e. cuss out the 'commentor' or worse) then the folks who are making the comments try to feign innocence, and go 'what did I say?'...then it should sink in---you can say just about anything you want to someone, but be fully prepared for that person's reaction if they don't like what you said
