When women do it, it's cattiness and competitiveness. And just sheer meanness, of course. But at least women don't act like the fatness of other women is affecting them so negatively as the men who complain do.

Mainly because they are tired of going out and seeing 80% overweight women. I think it kinda freaks them out that the pool of potential dating partners is decreasing at a rapid pace.

But bashing isnt right no matter what the reason.

Hi Ameribull,

Its simple logic with two inputs.

1. Women are more forgiving of weight and look for personality and status. Men don't need to display cues of health nearly so much.

2. Men look for basic cues of health which are either masked or impacted by weight gain.

Thus as the society gains weight, the squeeze is put on men on what they consider eligible mates much more so than women.

I get bashed and insulted for being not fat. When I walk through a store with a dress, fat people talk bad about me. Fat women. The stare at me, hate me, talk about me, sometimes so loud, that I HAVE TO hear it. I don't care how big people are. But please dress appropriate. It seems to me, the bigger people are, the less clothes they put on and really rub it in your face and it is disgusting to see the belly with stretchmarks hanging out of wayyyyy toooo short tank shirts. And wearing hot pants where the thighs rub at each other - REALLY??? I do not want to see that. The funny thing is, I barely see women in hot pants who can afford it - they mostly wear long pants.

Since most men chase after a target exhibiting the most cues of attraction, there is a shortage. When those women are not available, men become unhappy at their choices of women they find less than ideal.

You asked why, not about the scales of justice.
So it's single men making the complaints?

Some ones on here are married and still making the complaints (about women in general, not their wives).

I don't think there is a shortage of thin women.

I am married but my husband and I go out frequently. Last time we went out was Dec. 26. The place was really crowded. I barely saw any women who could be categorized as even "chubby." I only saw one woman who was very overweight!

Perhaps there is a shortage of thin women that find the complaining men attractive?

Where do you go out? My husband and I go out frequently (compared to many married people) and rarely see any fat women. I just went and stood outside my office building for 15 minutes and consciously looked to see any fat women walking by. I didn't see any. This is Manhattan also ... lots and lots of pedestrians going by!

Go to Virginia, they LOVE BIG WOMEN there. Somebody asked me disgusted, why the hell I go to gym and not eat a burger instead. The guy was in very good shape and good looking. Black though.
