Are you prejudiced against fat people?

Im def not a chubby chaser, but I really think the old school 40/50s style-body, is hot, even though most guys nowadays think that type of body is "fat".

Like this one time when I worked at Burger King, I was on the drive thru and this HUGE guy in a little pick up truck pulled up to the window. I don't know how that dude could steer cause his gut was hanging all over the steering wheel. We had a good laugh after he pulled out.

Al,

I don't think that's it, because I have held the belief that fat girls can be extremely pretty for a long time. However it may just be so unconscious of me to associate fat with ugly that I still get surprised by this.

El D,

Mandy Moore is a great example. This isn't the best picture of her, but it illustrates my point perfectly. You can't tell from this picture how fat she is, but even if she were I would still find her extremely cute.

I think it's in the dimples and the chipmunk cheeks, I guess I am just very attracted to them. So I suppose that if those fat chicks lost weight they would still have cute faces, but they would lose that "fat-chick glow" that many fat girls have, which I believe is also part of their cuteness.

I form opinions about everything and everyone. The moment my eyes see something, my brain forms a judgment based on my life's experiences.

I do form lots of opinions specific to overweight people. IMO, this is not a prejudice, this is an educated guess; if I see a man dressed in baggy cloths, talking like he's from the 'hood, with tattoos all over his face, I will form a different opinion of him than I would of a bombshell milf who works at the library.

So here is my "prejudice" of fat ppl;
They lack confidence, they are shy (female)
They have a slightly distinct voice
They have soft skin
They are kind
They watch their health only in certain ways, ie not all aspects are addressed.
Some are lazy, however this is case by case.

The point is you have no idea what the *meaning* of his being fat is, by merely looking at him, and therefore are making an error in assessing his moral character based on scant information.

That's why they call it a "prejudice".

Also

I'd say I only have a prejudice against the truly massive. My parents are both obese, as is my grandfather (as in, all > 40 lbs overweight), so it's been around my whole life. People who pant walking to the fridge are gross, and should do something about it. If you can operate a normal life that includes the occasional stairs without panting, I have no problem with you.

ElD,

It's okay to hate fat people. I do.

[turnipmonster]

I am this way as well (except for the jewish part lol). I've always had a sort of inherent kind of disrespect for fat people.

AA people suck? So, you hate people with a disease. And you still hate them if they are trying to control their disease?

Do you hate people born with Diabetes? Even if they monitor their blood-sugar to control it?

Why is it ok to say people who drink too much have a disease but people who eat too much do not? What makes this distinction?
