Comment of the Week
I know it's only Tuesday, but it's a holiday week, so this counts, right? Anonymous says:
"[W]hat is so terrible about saying that being overweight is not a good thing? It is not natural, it is not healthy, and I'm sorry, but it is not attractive. There is a reason other countries laugh at Americans; in fact, when I was in Germany, the first thing Germans (mostly thin people) would say when they heard I am American was "Fett!" (Fat!) Is that what you want people to think of you?... Before you start attacking me, just think about this: whom do you find more attractive, Brad Pitt or John Candy? Jennifer Aniston or Roseanne? Be honest.
Feel free to respond here. As for me, I am definitely not attracted to Roseanne, but I'd totally make out with Dawn French.

It's not a good thing when people make the leap from "fat" to "out-of-control neurotic greedy lard-ass" in a fraction of a second. It is unhealthy, unattractive, etc. but it doesn't make you a bad person. I don't personally know any fat people who are completely free from shame about it. Granted, that's their problem, but if you exercise your right to be a completely insensitive prick then I'll exercise mine to judge you for it.
But that's the truth...I'm from Poland and it's really common here that people from America are perceived as a fat or at least with big..overweigt..but it's equal with being fat
Honestly, John Candy. I find ample men very attractive and gym addicts don't do anything for me at all. As far as other countries perceiving Americans as fat, I am sure part of that is just stereotyping. Not all Americans are fat and certainly not all Europeans are thin. And some countries resent us. Without getting into those politics, labeling us all fat is just part of the way they express what they don't like about America.
I would like make a comment and I know I will upset some but this has been my expirence dating an obese woman for the last 22 months.
When I first began meeting her friends, they would comment,"have you lost weight." This would provide assurance that an effort was being made to weight management. However in 22 months there has been a steady gain. About ten months ago, when the comment was last made in my presents she answered in a low rebuff that she had infact gained.
Her doctor, who is also very overweight is not helping. She experiences regurgatation problems and she has resigned herself to a life of medication to manage what clearly is caused by fat compressing the stomach.
Anyway, I broke up with her tonight. She was a fat woman when we met but she is unattractively obese now, and no end in sight. I don't feel right about ending it for that reason but what do you do. I can't stay with someone who won't try.
Can there be a middle ground between John Candy and Brad Pitt? Over the two I'd still pick John Candy because he has a personality and appears to have better hygiene, but I'd rather someone Michael Chiklis's size if I can have my pick.
I am married to a fat woman, and I would take her over any thin woman. Nothing like putting your arms around a soft, sweet lady.
This is silly. Beauty of course in the eye of the beholder. I personally find John Goodman far more attractive than I find Brad Pitt. There is a difference between being unfit and fat and being healthy and fat. I am fat. I was a fat baby, a fat child, a fat teenager and now I am a fat adult. I am not unhealthy, eat better than most of the people I know and exercise regularly. I mean, seriously, with all of the things that are going on in this world and with all of the things that COULD be wrong with me, (blindness, paralysis, stupidity) being fat is very low on my list of true concerns. If someone doesn't find me attractive, that's fine. I'm not placed on this world to be adored and attractive to all people. There are persons whom I find attractive and persons whom I find attractive, those are the people I will date and who will date me. No amount of thinness makes anyone person better or worse than another, it just is, like anything else, a state of being.
