To me tight isn’t the problem, ill-fighting can be sometimes. Dress the size you are and be proud (I heart Nadia Aboulhosn for example). Don’t dress the size you think (or you feel society thinks) you ought to be. Of course if the well-fitting stuff isn’t in your budget or available, that’s another matter.
Co-sign. And if my husband could do something like not piss people off by his gross appearance (read: too sick to fucking care :smack:), I’m sure he’d hobble around more on the feet that he can’t walk on to make that happen. I’ll tell him to get right on that, so no one’s delicate sensibilities are offended.
Oh. :smack: Never heard of that. I’ve never been to 4chan and have paid zero attention to Bieber all this time. You can miss a lot that way. I was ribbing you because, having never heard of the phrase, it looked like one of those ridiculous predictive text typos that started appearing all over the place here once everybody was posting from their telephones, inadvertently posting a completely different word from what was intended. Since B is next to N on the keyboard, I guessed you’d intended to type N for North, but accidentally hit B, and your phone took it from there.
Hey that’s great. Its a great excuse for 350lb people to neglect their bodies even more. Of course, by your own words, if a woman is extremely thin, she is ‘anorexic’ and liable to ‘break a hip if they fall out of pose’. Me, I prefer people who respect their bodies, and you know what they say, its what’s inside that counts!
That question’s true regardless of fat or thin; I see grown people who should otherwise know better routinely wearing the most absurd looking clothing- ugly-ass nerd ensembles, hillbilly camo outfits, rapper wannabees, women who are 45 going on 13 based on their clothes, and yes, fat people wearing ill-fitting stuff.
All that tells me is two things- there’s no accounting for taste, and a whole LOT of people have very little self-awareness. I mean, the too-thin 45 year old woman with old-lady neck and a lined face has no business buying clothes at Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch, even if she can fit into them. By the same token, the 40 year old man wearing the gold rope, backward hat, wifebeater and super-baggy shorts hanging off his ass should get a clue as well. Those looks aren’t age appropriate and are equally as odious as some fat person wearing clothes that don’t fit.
However, with the fat person clothes situation, even well fitting clothes will show that you’re fat- the only way to prevent that is to wear super baggy clothes, which to me screams that the person has no self esteem.
So ultimately, it seems that the argument comes down to whether fat people are acceptable to be seen as fat people, or whether they should cover up in shame.
There’s a fundamental breakdown here and it’s that while a fat person may be abdicating responsibility for what goes in their mouth, you’ve abdicated responsibility for what comes out of yours.
If this thread continues for a few more days, I expect Incubus to call for internment camps for fat people. You know, to keep them out of sight and force them to “take care of themselves.”
Has anyone pitted Incubus? It’s well deserved. If he isn’t spewing venom at fat people or some other group he looks down on, he is bragging about his hot Mexican wife. And isn’t this dude a bus driver??? Not to be a snob, but not exactly the top of the heap when it comes to status.
Why is it any better to look down upon someone for being a bus driver vs. someone who is overweight? You are being a snob, pure and simple; for example, replace the word bus driver with the word black, and then try to say you are not racist.
Having self-awareness and choosing to dress in a way that fits your version of what people ought to wear are two different things. What’s it to you if someone with wrinkles wears an Abercrombie sweater or some old dude’s hat is backwards? Other people are just living their lives, not parading by in costumes hoping to win your approval.
I know what you mean! One of the most common “mistakes” I see around here is girls wearing the little spandex dresses that are hardly long enough to cover their butt cheeks. They don’t look bad, exactly, they just look a bit miserable constantly pulling at their hems and trying to keep their stomachs sucked in.
Yeah, yeah. I am not a snob and I don’t look down on bus drivers or anyone who makes an honest living. But it’s a fact that many people do in fact look down on bus drivers or other service type workers. For him to be in that position and to be so critical of other people is rather telling.
See, that’s fine if people look down on me because of my blue collar job. It doesn’t bother me, and I’m not going to get defensive about it and whine to people on the internet that society doesn’t value my existence.
It’s just interesting that since you are in a “class” that some look down on you would be so vocal against another group that is also looked down on (fat folks).
I’m assuming they don’t have enough $$ to buy new clothes, or don’t realize how tight they are, perhaps. Maybe they feel thinner wearing fitted clothes? Maybe they don’t care. It’s not always the nicest thing to see, but their reason is probably none of my business.
His posts come off like he’s one of those people that hates their shitty life so much that they have to make fun of other people to feel better about their shitty life.
