Today, I went on a blind date. We had agreed on meeting in front of a park. Thinking I was there first, I texted her "I'm already there, sitting next to the fat chick." I heard a beep. SHE was the "fat chick." FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went on a blind date, meeting up in a park. I got there first and sat down to wait for him. After a while, a guy sat down next to me. I wasn't sure if it was him, so I texted him, asking if he'd arrived. His response was, "I'm already here, sat to the left of the old woman dressed like a gypsy." FML

Today, my best friend set me up on a blind date with someone he said was very hot. I'm not exactly what you call fit, so I haven't been dating lately. As soon as I got to the restaurant, I spotted the girl. She looked me up and down, said, "You have GOT to be kidding me" and left. FML
Today, I went on a blind date that my friend set up at a coffee shop. I arrived early, feeling nervous but excited. As I sat waiting, I noticed a person waving at me from across the room.

Even if that wasn't her, did you think insulting somebody would make you look cool?

You're an ass. Even if she wasn't fat, she probably would have found that offensive. You should've just told her that you were there. If you weren't attracted to her, you aren't obligated to make a second date but you don't have to be rude.

Wow. You're dumb. Ever think that the girl could be your blind date?? And even if it wasn't her, I wouldn't even show up if I found out you were that rude and immature. Grow up, please.

I doubt that any of those that said that people that are "fat" are disgusting and whatnot will have the empathy or understanding to get what I'm saying, but I'll waste my time anyways. The fact that there is a dispute of whether calling someone fat is proper or not means it should not be used. Perhaps you mistakenly believe that being bigger makes you unattractive. What if you had to choose between someone who was toothless, old and completely bald against someone who had beautiful hair, teeth and was young, but was 30 pounds overweight? The fact is that we have been programmed to think that skinny is beautiful. Everywhere you look are skinny women on billboards, tvs, magazines, causing us to believe that skinny is the image of beauty. Not true. This phenomenon is purely based upon economics- it is actually only a recent occurrence that skinny is beauty. It used to be that the more pale, "rubenesque" women were beautiful (also due to economic reasons) because it was a sign that they did not have to work for a living, were not exposed to the sun by having to work in it, and had plenty to eat. In short, a sign of wealth. However, now that things have changed for us, so did our standards. The number of people who work outside is reduced thanks to industrialization, so class divisions were no longer so easy to see, so, there are now new ways to judge class divisions. It is always said that the cheaper food is also more fattening? I don't know, I haven't done the research, but it is something to consider. You can also see how beauty standards have changed even in the past century. Marilyn Monroe is still a widely acknowledged beauty, and she was by no means skinny. The "waif" as a supermodel began with a model named Twiggy, and gradually all designers adopted skinnier models, as it required less fabric to make clothes for them. Anyways, you can say "fat" is ugly. That just proves that you make generalizations as you can't judge in every case. And yes, I'm bigger and I don't mind. Judge me all you like :D

It depends how fat she was. I love the couple of people who wrote essays on how "fat" should not be hated. I don't mind fat people. I'd never date a fat girl. Arguing over the whole personality thing is bullshit. Girls look to guys for looks as much as guys look to girls for looks. If one or the other is fat, the mind processes it as ugly because why?: society's norms tell them to! Duh! This situation is just unfortunate, though.

Some of these comments are just downright offensive to women who have just a little extra weight. "More cusion for the pushin" and "built for comfort, not for speed"? Come on people, that's the type of stuff Douches say! What woman would like to hear that kind of thing said about her? Guys, lets be a little less vulgar and a little more respectful of the fairer sex? That's not too much to ask, is it?
