The more you eat the higher the demand for food, which raises prices. I'm not blaming the higher food prices on fat people, but they sure don't help. Besides, more money spent on healthcare means less money available to fight pollution, which means more climate change, which means higher food prices.


By the way, when you find your (hopefully) human brain, put it back where it belongs and don't eat it.
I'll bet you would NOT repeat this to my face if you were standing in front of me. May I also add though I'm overweight not all my mass is fat and I'm also 6'5?

I would not be surprise if I hear about you on the news going on a shooting rampage targeting fat people when you could've just gotten over it.
Look, if you can't make a valid argument you can shut up. Making assumptions is pathetic.

^^This^^. You have to decide if you can live with it or not. Most likely she will gain more weight over time. So make your decision now. If you break up with her, you should be honest about the reason.

You're missing the point. The point is, you can't change her. You can address this from a point of concern. But if she's not on board, the time to bail is now.

Here's the thing. There are 5 aspects to chemistry that make for a good relationship. You have to have ALL 5 if you want to have a good relationship. Those 5 aspects of chemistry are:

Comfort
Safety
Fun
Passion
Mutual Respect

If she doesn't currently have a passing grade in ALL 5 for you, do her and yourself a favor. MOVE ON QUICKLY! BTW, a passing grade doesn't mean a "10" in every category. But be honest with yourself about whether she passes in all 5. If she fails in the passion category because of her weight, then she fails. Be honeset with yourself about it.

Here is the book those 5 qualities are based on. Written for women but most of it is equally applicable to men:

Is He Mr. Right?

Amazon.com: Is He Mr. Right?: Everything You Need to Know Before You Commit: Mira Kirshenbaum: Books

I'm just trying to help you out bruh, no reason to get butthurt. And just as you are free to express your hatred to fat people, I'm free to voice my opinion of you. If you put out hatred this is what you get back. Besides don't you have something better to do then to be angry at fat people. Get over yourself.

Again, ad hominems are pathetic. If you can't tackle the argument, don't attack the person who made it.

Well what would you like to see happen, do you honestly believe fat people are going to change just because some nut job on the internet hates them? It's pretty clear I'm getting to you because you keep responding.

I tried to teach her how to eat better and once again lead by example. Nope. That was insulting to her as it implied she was fat. So then I offer to go to the gym with her. Nope. She said I was once again calling her fat. I never did so and was very positive so as to not hurt her feelings.

In the end no matter what I tried, no matter how I tried to support her or keep it positive, she had an excuse and was pissed I thought she needed to lose weight at all. Once she gained the weight we were doomed. I couldn't acknowledge it at all. But I am fit and work hard for it. I expect the same of them. According to her, being fat was something I was just going to have to get used to. Wrong.
