Why Slim People Don't Like Fat People

I necessarly don't hate fat people yes i think they are lazy but some of them can not help the fact that they are fat. Now that i have researched the facts on why some people are fat it doesn't bother me as much anymore why some people are fat!!!
-Sticking up for those who can't help it!

This is easy.

The reason why slim people hate fat people is because they are jealous. It doesn't have to make sense to be a valid emotion. Only a portion of slim people hate fat people because those particular slim people are clinically obsessed with how people view them and obsessed with their bodies. These slim people lead miserable and militant lives, and they hate ANYONE who's not as "approval seeking" and as hut, two, three, four, as they are. They fit the "misery loves company" line to a tee.

See, a lot of people confuse the fat with people whom are happy and free. When it appears to the OCD slim that they (the fat) are included in society, it pisses of this subset of the slim even more!

And it's only this subset of the slim that are angry at the fat. Other slim people don't care and judge people by the individual and NOT by the group the belong to.

Their anger is irrational and conveniently lumps individuals into certain groups. Just that alone speaks more of the intolerant than those who overeat twinkies and breath heavily. Those that tie fat people to "being lazy" either don't get out enough or are not very observant people.

I can't believe you think all fat people are mean. I am a fat woman and i always do my best to be kind to others.
I have a wonderful husband who loves me. Please look on the inside of people.

I think thin people are the ones who hurt fat people. They make us feel less than they are because we are overweight. I never judge a person if they are thin I do think they are pretty. I am not jelious of them. I would like to be their friend . Poppy

why don't we just kill all over weight people i smoke and i listen to rich ass holes tell me how how bad this is well ok if we say you can't smoke why not kill all over weight people hey they don't want to pay taxs all should be killed there wifes fucked in there ass hole

Basically, my problem with "fat" people is that whenever I watch what I eat they comment. I have people telling me I'm lucky to be slim but I work my arse off to achieve it. I watch what I eat because I know I'll end up large again and I dont want that, yet I'm made to feel guilty about it. One of my friends is very large and jokes about how much he loves his food, yet if I want to joke about how much I love healthy food I get judged. I HATE the fact that its an insult to call someone fat but not to call someone skinny. My "fat" friends say I'm too skinny but heavens forbid that I call them too fat. I'm healthy, I eat 3 meals a day and exercise regularly, surely my "fat" friends should worry about their health not mine? I dont necessarily hate fat people but I hate the whole double standards thing.

Some of my favorite people are fat. I had this girlfriend who made fun of one of my fat friends, and I dumped her a$$... not immediately, but that incident was always in the back of my mind and made a clear picture of her character. Human beings are brains trapped in bodies. We should love one another... there are some interesting new studies regarding GI microbiota and obesity. Turns out, fat people may just need probiotics... they may be overeating to compensate for a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

Yes, I agree that prejudice is a learned behavior, one that is learned by being around fat people who fit the stereotype so incredibly well. I have personally known people who are fat and it IS their own doing, and then they take it out on everyone around them who did not cause themselves to get fat just like they did. When you go out to eat fast food every couple of days and justify it by claiming it's cheaper than making meals at home (which is a lie), don't expect to stay thin. But I've been around people who have made themselves fat by doing just that. Then they rage hard at people who would prefer to stay home and eat healthy because those people will not become fat with them and become miserable jerks just like them. I have seen people wolf down packages of chips and snack cakes because god forbid someone else in the same house eat them too! Some fat people are only fat because they are incredibly selfish when it comes to food. And about them complaining about having to buy food that's not fast food, maybe cooking at home would be cheaper if they would make an effort to eat actual portion sizes and not the entire box of something. Yeah, it does get expensive when you buy a $3 box of elbow macaronis and eat it all in one sitting, but a thin person can fill up on a mere cup of macaroni and make that box go a long way so the meals essentially are very cheap. Also, there are plenty of people who do not exercise because oh no they might have to sweat and breathe hard for a short amount of time. Then they take it out on people who actually make the effort to run/walk/do other exercise rather than dealing with their jealousy like adults and actually getting off their large arses and doing something.

I'm so sick of people claiming that ALL fat people need sympathy and did not make themselves fat. This is simply untrue. SOME fat people are selfish pigs.

I've been overweight or obese all my life. At a younger age, I was plainly discriminated against in hiring. Now in my 50s (and still overweight) I am in high demand in my industry (banking) due to a lack of qualified candidates. I hold an MBA and earn over $100k annually, reporting directly to top management. No one in my firm would ever make a comment to me about my weight, due to my high job performance and respect held by executive management regarding my abilities.

well, it bothers me alot about fat people but not like you say, i can still talk to them and be friends with them and watever but it makes me feel that i need to help them or that i never want to be like that so i start obessing over being healthy n stuff because of it and i kind of use it to make me feel better which i know is silly but its just how i seem to think.

I am African American and very thin and I am having trouble understanding fat people. How could someone allow themselves to get 100 lbs overwieght. Fat is nasty and I personally get sick when I see a fat person eating or even when they simply walk pass me.Once I worked in a deli and I realized that fat people will naw your head off about thier food. I believe that this study may be correct because fat people make me want to vomit.

Most fat people hold learned prejudices against thin people, from the years of emotional abuse and prejudice they've received from them.

So it can go both ways. I find it ridiculous when thin people whine about being discriminated against fat people. Most of us fat people feel thin people wouldn't last a day, dealing with the seemingly unending prejudice towards fat people.

So, it's simple, thin people should be taught to respect all people, even fat people. They only have themselves to blame, for any prejudice that comes towards them from fat people. All they have to do is watch the media, or the news for a day, and notice how many stories are demeaning towards fat people.

I found this article because I was looking for an answer to why I simply and actually don't like overweight people. I am not bias and this is not a social behavior I was taught. But I have a really strong dislike of people when they are overweight. And if the same person lost or looses the weight, I'd suddenly like this person. I think that there is something to this theory.

I think this is more of a scientific phenomenon in some cases, and is not about what is right or wrong or why it happens. I wish I did not feel this way, I am ashamed to tell my friends that I simply don't like overweight people. But there is no way for me to escape the way I actually feel. So I just don't say anything and I miss out on getting to know people who I KNOW are good people, just because I cannot force myself to like them if they are currently overweight.

Okay you guys know what why is it that i know plenty of skinnie who eat unhealty and dont gaine no weigth or exercise and i know plenty of people who are fat and thick like myself and the eat healty but gaine wieght can some one answerthis question then

Skinny and thin people should not make fun of overweight people. It could come back to haunt them. Their was this one girl I knew. she always worked out and was in great shape. She had a perfect body and loved to show it off. She would wear belly shirts so everyone could see her toned abs, and tight pants to show off her perfect firm butt. She also went braless often to show off how perky her big boobs were. anyways, she always made fun of overweight people. She was constently making fun of these three overweight girls at our work. well they got there revenge. What they did was they got some weight gain powder form GNC, and put it in her water everyday. That stuff is like 6,000 calories. they also crushed some sleeping pills in the water so she would feel to tired to go to the gym after work. And finally, they switched her protien bars with the ones wreselars use when they want to go up in a weight class (For some reason her protien bars were always out of the rapper in her lunch bag, so it was easy to switch without her knowing). Needless to say, all those extra calories took its toll on this poor girls body. In a few short months, she blew up like a balloon. they totaly ruined her perfect body. her flat toned stomach became a huge pot belly. Her butt tripled in size and became all jiggly instead of being tight. Her pretty face puffed up and formed a double chin. Her breasts got really big and became saggy. I guess her original weigth was around 120, but now she is pushing 300. She never knew what hit her, and the others girls eventually told her after they had their revenge. So this should be fair warning to all you skinny girls who make fun of overweight people, because you may end up like my friend. I will try and find some pics to show the transformation and post them later

Why do you call it "prejudice?"

Fat people are unethical. They waste resources, in terms of fuel and food, and they steal other people's money. Let me explain that one...

A recent study showed that obese people cost the health care system on average 1,400 dollars more that a thin person. We all pay for health insurance in some form, direct or indirect, and our premiums are higher because of the total cost of care that fat people are inflating. In essence, each fat person steals 1,400 dollars a year from the rest of us.

So tell me, how is feeling aversion "prejudice?" We don't call it prejudice when we feel aversion towards criminal acts such as theft...
