What's funny to me: I was on the metro once and two guys were talking about women. One said, I don't like big girls. I don't date them. When he stood to exit the train, his tie was sitting on his huge belly. WTH, WTF!!! Dude, really!!
The way I see it, I don't have room to complain if the woman is no fatter than me. Of course, if she is fatter than me it's not like I'm going to bring it up, but I may not find her physically attractive, either.
Black men tend not to be big complainers about women's weight. Cultural thing I guess (at least in the USA).
LOL!! I think thats because black men are afraid of what black women would do to them if they said ANYTHING about their weight.
If the woman is like Mo'nique, Shirley (from Whats Happening), Della Reece (Vera in Harlem Nights), Queen Latifah or Aretha Franklin, its best that their men just keep their mouths shut when it comes to their weight.

That's what I thought too. Like I said, another C-D poster told me this one on a different thread.
Well I can say that even over the last 10 - 15 years that I have noticed a large increase of obese women when I go out. (men too but to a lesser extent) And thats ok. But years ago when five girls walk in maybe one was overweight. Now its 3 out of 5.
But abusing someone due to the way they look is wrong and a sign of a weak character.
Believe me, I try to ingnore fat women as much as I can, but there's such a preponderance of them in this country that it sometimes becomes a tad difficult. I try to only feast my eyes on attractive things, including people. Yeah, I knwn, I know, I'm a superfluous jerk. So be it: we all have our character flaws, and I'm very content with this one.
Maybe its the only group u notice getting hammered
I actually got ripped to shreds for having the audacity to like chubby women. Some boys I used to work with, mainly white guys, thought I was absolutely insane and constantly laughed at me for my taste in women - whom they deemed fat. At the time, being the only black male working there, I was fighting a losing battle against those bastards, lol.
There have been many posts where male members trash overweight women JUST ON A GENERAL BASIS ... trashing perfect strangers who have nothing to do with their own lives at all.
Please explain:
-- How does the weight of women out there in general affect YOUR LIFE so negatively that you must trash them if they are overweight?
-- Why is the size of someone else's body, especially perfect strangers, so important to you that you must trash them if they are overweight?
-- How is the size of someone else's body, especially perfect strangers, your business to the point that you must trash them if they are overweight?
It is really ridiculous to me how far some of you are going. I personally do not focus on ridiculing the shortcomings of men I am not attracted to and making a big deal of it. For instance, if I were out in the dating world, I would just IGNORE (if they were ignoring me) or politely decline advances (if they expressed interest in me) from those I am not attracted to, not make it my mission to rake them over the coals for the characteristics I personally am not attracted to! So, men, please shed some light on this rude habit many of you seem to have! TIA!
I would imagine the people who trash "overweight" women are just projecting.
