Mother fucker. This weekend while drinking with friends, a guy started flirting with me. First off, I was not interested but didn’t directly say it. I just kept nodding my head and keeping it cool. I dropped my keys, bend over to pick them up and here it comes. “Wow, I didn’t realize you had such a fat ass” Thank you, you fucking asshole. I am quite sensitive about my weight. Especially since my ass size has been brought up many times throughout my life. I don’t like being reminded that I’m a fatass. Keep your fucking comments to yourself. I have a mirror in my room shithole! You think I fail to use it? I look at myself and get disgusted, pull myself up by my bootstraps and go on with my day. I could do something about the way I look. But I don’t. I choose not to. You had no right to say that to me. Yes you did piss me off and thats why I drove to the Circle K parking lot and cried while my boyfriend tried to console me. I get made fun of already because my boyfriend is tinier than me. I KNOW WE FUCKING LOOK SILLY. But I love him and he loves me. Keep your fucking comments to yourself. Goddammit. I kept my mouth shut in front of you because I didn’t want to stoop to your level. Also because your tweaker friends would have said started some shit. I’ve had one bad tweaker experience and that was enough for a life time. But you know what ,“redwood”? The reason no girl has slept with you in over 2 years is because you’re a piece of pathetic dog vomit. You wear filthy clothes. Your hair is a grease pit. You spend your money on crank, and complain about not having money to eat. Everyone treats you like shit because you are shit. Fuck You. Go fucking jerk off with a belt sander! GRRR!! ---

Anyone who makes a comment like that is unworthy of your attentions. Anyone who is that focused on physical attributes is not likely to be deeper than the mudpuddles outside your local wastewater-treatment plant. Or any more appetizing. Plenty of men find rubinesque women very attractive. You won’t have to look far to find one who is also decent, courteous, and not rude. Then there are the type of puslicking wildboar-felching squickwads you ran into. Fuck 'em. Or rather, don’t. Let’em keep jerking off to pictures of anorexics with asses like the little boys they really want. b. ---

Yup. You’ll find of plenty of people who are wild about your shapely ass and love you all the more for it. That prick, however, will never find someone who is particularly charmed by his lack of manners and who will love him more for that trait. Ha. (I have a fat, flabby, cottage-cheese-like ass, and I don’t dare pick up anything dropped in front of my husband lest I get dragged off to the bedroom. Don’t ask me why he loves it so much, but he does and it’s not such a rare thing in a guy) ---

Don’t sweat it baby, my wife’s rear is “shapely” too, it’s what attracted me to her in the first place. Hmmm, maybe I should change my name to “Assman.” Pay no attention to that dickhead. ---

> [@](#): > > Go fucking jerk off with a belt sander! GRRR!! Just thinking about that makes me cringe. You just have to ignore people like this, it’s hard to do but it is possible. Too often we judge our own self worth on what other people think and way too often what they think is based on what they see. This guy sounds like an ugly human being and that kind of ugly goes right to the bone. ---

So maybe he doesn’t like fat, juicey asses. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions. But damn, what an insensitive, rude and puerile menstrual cramp of a guy. Don’t let the crackcrusts get you down **spidergirl** ---

> [@](#): > > I have a mirror in my room shithole! You think I fail to use it? I look at myself and get disgusted, pull myself up by my bootstraps and go on with my day [Charlie Brown cry of exasperation]AAAGHHH![/CBCoE] **Arachnidlove** , you are a WOMAN, and you are SUPPOSED to have a “fat ass.” That is the way nature designed women to be, not skinny, boyish creatures. You have more body fat than men because you are supposed to support you and an embryo with the extra stored energy. Please cease to buy into the magazine propaganda that women are supposed to starve themselves to look like boys, because that’s a load of manure. Go to an art gallery and check out pictures of women. Until the 20th century, the full-figured look was the epitome of desirability and charm. The ONLY questions you need to worry about are 1)are you fit, and 2) do you eat right? Can you lift 25 lbs? Can you walk up a flight or two of stairs and not feel winded? Can you walk for a mile and feel fine? If so, good. If not, then that’s an area to work on, NOT your freakin’ appearance! Form follows function in physiology as in everything else. If you’re fit and healthy, then your looks and spirits will improve, as well. Don’t let ANYONE make you feel bad about yourself. You cannot let your self-image be held hostage to the moronic comments of negative little twerps. Besides, you said in the OP that you have a boyfriend, so he must think you got it goin’ on. I haven’t noticed that having a big butt has hurt J. Lo any. 😃 ---

A possible response if you encounter another such jerk: > [@](#): > > Jerk-o’-the-day: I didn’t realize your ass is so fat. > > You: First, you don’t seem so fat to me. Second, you’re not mine. Those who understand the response will surely laugh at the Jer-o’-the-day as he/it/whatever slinks off and you will possibly get a standing ovation. Those who don’t understand it aren’t worth your time. Another response: > [@](#): > > I don’t have a problem with my ass. If you have a problem with it, keep your fucking problems to yourself. I like the first one better, though. ---

That’s right up there with someone asking when your baby is due (and you’re not pregnant). People (and I’m being generous to this guy) say stupid, stupid things that hurt more than they have any right to. I, too, am working on loving my body just the way it is, extra flab and all, and ignoring any media messages to the contrary. We’re all going to get old and ugly some day; if we base our opinions of ourselves on our looks, we’re going to be in for a rough time once the heavy hand of Time has his way with us. Keep up the good work chosing to love yourself the way you are. And try to ignore the assholes (although they make it so difficult sometimes). ---

arachnidlove, is it possible that he realized he was getting nowhere with you and, since he wasn’t going to get your interest, decided to zing you? If so, it worked since you are still thinking about it. I have to admit, shamefully, that I’ve done the same thing myself when the woman you are talking to you is obviously and rudely not seeming to be interested in you. Realize he found you attractive since he approached you. He was just trying to bring you down a notch since you were not interested in him and showed it. Blink ---
