Every now and then, things make me angry, as with anyone, and my chosen method of dealing with anger is to rant.
Today, one of my SEMO friends joined a group on Facebook called #1 Rule: No Fat Chicks!!! I'm not just going to go with the obvious rant about how demeaning and horrible that is, how superficial it is to judge someone by their appearance, on how hurtful and pointless it is to do so on Facebook. No, I'm going to be a little bit more mean than that, because I know over half of the guys in this group, and I'm going to tell you just why these guys don't need to be complaining about "fat" girls.
First of all, no guy needs to be complaining about that. You know what, we all look different. We were made that way, and we should be proud. Girls that are not a size 2 have a hard enough time being okay with the way they look, without guys doing things like this. It's too hard for them to appreciate what is uniquely beautiful about their body types - like some of them being taller, others actually having curves, a lot of gorgeous faces, and the fact that a lot of guys are attracted to bigger girls - when they're constantly being put down about it. I'm one of those - I'm not fat, nor am I skinny by any means, but I do have pretty decent curves. Our lovely Danni is tall, gorgeous, and not fat by any reasonable definition. We have another friend, Kristen, that is an absolute unquestioned drop-dead beauty - more beautiful than anyone that any of these guys will ever have. But is she a size two? No, she's not. My bestie Rachel, my little sister, my roommate Lori...you want a list of beautiful women who aren't skinny, I could go on and on...
Second, I'm mad enough to come right out and say it - a few of these guys are pretty fat themselves. I mean, if you'd met them, you'd know...talk about hypocritical. What if we made a group against fat guys? You'd be whining like little babies. You know what, drop a pound or fifty, and then...wait, you'll still be a jerk, won't you? Well, then, I guess eat some more Twinkies, and merry Christmas to you too.
Third, almost to a person, in this group, these are the types of guys to sit around all day on their computers, in front of their video game systems, and otherwise indoors with their eyes glued to some kind of a screen. What, have you been indoors in your own house for so long that you've forgotten what girls actually look like? Real girls don't all look the same. Beautiful isn't one specific look. Get used to it.
And lest you think that this group only applies to girls who weigh over 400 pounds or something(which is STILL not okay - you never know when it's a medical condition or something, and you shouldn't be judging by that anyway. There are beautiful women who weigh a considerable amount - Queen Latifah comes to mind), let me clarify: The admin of this group has himself called me fat before. Now, again, I am not by any means skinny, but I don't weigh 400 pounds or anything close to it. I'm not fat - or at least, my boyfriend doesn't seem to think so...
Well, I'm kinda running out of steam, so I'm gonna wrap things up here. I'm not normally such an angry person, really. Some guys just need to grow up.
