q_q, calling Mishmaat a fat person trying to eat healthy is really not nice. So why don't you just relax, instead of nit-picking everyone's posts?
Lisa, calling a man fat is not like calling a woman fat.
And the way I said it was purely factual.
You may not know that calling a man "thin" could be just as insulting perhaps worse, than calling a man "fat". This is a man-man discussion you have run into and it's out of your depth.
And there is nothing for me to "chill" about since I am actually not angry with anything mishmaat has said.
q_q what the h*** are you talking about??? its out of Lisa's depth???
She's 100% right. I know many heavy(fat) people and they are UNBELIEVABLY self conscious about their weight. If you joke about or comment about their weight... they will take it EXTREMELY personal. Far more-so than someone who is thin.
you are thinking like a woman, anyhow,
this was not a pointless comment, like women make, on appearance.
it was more of a comment about his breakfast..
this was really in the context of a particular discussion (related to calories and sugar content) on an internet forum.
Any fat person is going to be alot less self conscious about their weight if they are hidden from view and behind a computer screen and using an anonymous nickname of their choosing.
When I said he sounds like a fat person trying to eat healthily. Given that he had only mentioned his breakfast and that is what I was quoting.. I had in mind that his breakfast suggests that he has a genetic disposition towards putting on weight, and he craves sugary foods. That doesn't mean he is currently fat.. I don't know what else he eats during the day but probably healthy enough to control his weight. Like an alcoholic, is still an alcoholic, just controlling it.. (though this weakess is worse 'cos you can't not eat)
I did say that the breakfast has unnecessarily unhealthy parts, and that was my point when I made that statement. It's a very important point, and one can focus on that rather than a point about appearance that I wasn't even making. His whole focus was on his breakfast.. It's not like a fat person is going about his daily business and somebody calls him fatso. This was an intelligent discussion about the contents of the invisible man's breakfast..
Most people in the west are a bit podgy, and can't even see their own muscles. That's why Bruce Lee's appearance shocked people.. And women are supposed to be fat, their fat is just strategically placed. By chinese standards, you're all fat.
