Chubby Haters

I know no harm was intended, but I wanted to ensure that no harm actually happened.

Your job as a (brilliant in my opinion) moderator

And yes, I am aware that different people are attracted to different body types. It's simple, plain fact. It's when people start generalising their personal preferences to 'all men' or 'real men' (or women, for that matter) that it starts hurting people.

...that's why I specified that I don't know about "real men" - I stated my opinion.

Not the best way to get tips.

Think that's bad, just check the comments. Ugh.

Thank you.

<goes back and checks>

Oops, you're right. The only person who made a 'generalisation' comment was the one providing an idea for rebuttal. My apologies.

Just stating the evident.

Just don't mention the crunchy stripy stuff so we can eat them in peace. (and without hoofmarks)

Well, I think we all know that the Consumerist tends to have a lot more judgemental jerks and would-be comedians than, say, the originating site, PassiveAgressiveNotes.com, whose commenting userbase appears to be much more in line with the crew over here.

I think you were being too kind by calling him a douche. It got me thinking, "I wonder if this was for that ABC news show 'What would YOU Do?' "

[Pixilated]

What a self-righteous asshole. I would've laid out to him this (Courtesy of Orson Wells)" I can lose weight, you'll still be a jerk".

I was trying to remember this line but tropicsgoddess beat me to it. It gets my vote: it's short, sharp and doesn't include any obscenities (which I believe shows the jerk they have successfully yanked your chain.) Include the sarcastically sweet smile or the sharklike baring-of-the-teeth for additional effect.

It's nobody's damn business what anyone else eats. I never look at what other people are buying (unless I see some guy with a ton of booze and 10 packages of ribs and I think, "That's going to be some party!").

When I was pregnant I gained almost 70 pounds. One day this old lady customer at the bookstore commented that she'd noticed I had gained a lot of weight in the past few months and I probably wanted to watch that. I stepped out from behind the counter so she could see my cetacean form and said, "I'm pregnant and you're rude." I haven't seen her since.

Side note, when I was pregnant I ate rainbow sherbet like it was going out of style. Now even the sight of it makes me ill. So weird.

I think (not sure) but Winston Chruchill said something similiar to a "high society" lady back in the day. the conversation went something like this
HS : Mr Prime Minister you are quite drunk
WS: That is true but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

Churchill is full of great quotes.

"One can always trust the United States to do the right thing, once every possible alternative has been exhausted."

Candied pork slices, of course. We dasn't S. A. Y. the B-word.

Dear OP,

I'm a large man myself. I'm happy being large too.
coughcoughbaconcoughcough
I've been teased enough throughout my life about it. I just don't listen anymore.
Bacon.
What I find humorous is that my mother gives me hell about my weight and no one else does anymore.
This is a subliminal message. You want bacon.
Don't get me wrong, I love my mother and wish her well. Here are my problems with this:
1) Bacon.
1) I'm 31 years old.
2) She's a hypocrite, being large herself.
3) She constantly tries to get me to eat food every time I'm there.
4) Said food is DEFINITELY not healthy.
5) When I refuse said food, she acts hurt and tries to make me feel guilty.
6) And MORE BACON!
Anyways, that's my conflict and I deal with it like I should. I need not bore you with further details.
(OMG BACON BACON BACON)
I guess what the bottom line of all of this is... is don't let the haters get to you. They're not worth your time, emotion, or blood pressure.
