FAT chicks...

I’m such a wanker.

I was just watching Today Tonight on Channel 7 when I realised how superficial I am. Research showed a fat lady (size 24) and a normal sized lady (size 12) performing everyday tasks. The normal sized lady is treated, well normally, whilst the fat person is discriminated against, bearing the brunt of cruel stares and people who plain ignore her. Especially men.

It's true that fat people are discriminated against. The scary thing is that nearly half of all Australians are obese. The way I see it, even the size 12 chick is obese. I don’t actually recall specifically ignoring/marginalising fat people or staring at them. Although I do acknowledge that I’m quite totally disgusted. My dad actually sniggers and laughs behind their back. I am ashamed that I see women in that light, but I don’t know how I can change. If men are wired that way, then it would require a hell of a lot of character to want to get to know any fat girl better. No, I’ve never taken the initiative to speak to someone fat, nor tried to know that person any better than on the surface. I just don’t see myself doing it. I can try, and have tried, but polite conversation is about as far as it goes.

I know most, if not ALL girls like to play each other up. When I ask about their friends, they always say their friend is “hot”. I’ve learnt not to trust women’s judgment in that aspect because most of the time, “hot” equals “shit”. I suppose women are jealous of each other as well. “Hot” might be a sarcastic term. Honestly, there are very few “hot” women around because “hot” is so subjective. But most of the “hot” girls I know are actually acquired tastes. “Hot”-ness isn’t dependant solely on physical appearance (that is termed “screwability”), but on the entire package. From the way she walks to the way she sips water. Yes, girls, you’ll be surprised at how close you’re being observed sometimes. That said, for a fat girl to obtain “hot” status is quite an impossibility. Conversely, a slightly above average looking girl has a significantly higher chance of achieving that “hot” status.

There is no fixed formula for me which determines how “hot” a girl is. Some girls just look better doing things than others. Different activities suit different chicks (e.g. the girly sort and the sporty sort), but they can all be “hot”. Over the years, I’ve come to realise the girls that blow you away at first glance are usually the “hottest” but then they lose their appeal very quickly. The best chicks are the ones who are nice to look at, but their personality and charisma elevates them above the “hot” status. And the good thing is that, the latter is more common and more easily attainable – I suppose.

My thoughts are rather jumbled. I guess the point I want to make is that fat women don’t tickle my fancy at all; highly unlikely, even in a 100 years. I may sound like a bastard, but ask yourself whether this is how you feel deep down.

Speaking of which, a “hot” chick is coming to visit me. Yup, Miko’s going to be here for a few days – till Saturday I think.

AND she’s a size 6.

I don't have anything against fat women, and I've found in fact that some of them (some, I emphasize) are very interesting people to talk to.

But I'll admit that I find it hard to imagine myself ever being interested in one.

I remember my dad wouldn't snigger at them, but he'd tell me (behind their backs) that they are a bit fat, very fat, and they should probably work towards losing it if they are to succeed.

Yes, it's sort of sad, but it's how we're wired. Of course, I'm sure there are some that are wired to like fat chicks, like Africans ;)

Think we'll get the chance to meet Miko?

den: Shirt and pants and DUNKS? Cannot la, my mum will kill me, and you'll all laugh at me anyway. I agree that the stigma applies to guys too.. but that's not so bad I think. Fat guys and fat girls, I think the girls have it tougher. nyak nyak.. too bad!! heh heh...

vins: Yes, interesting to talk to is probably about as far as it goes for me too. I'm not sure about fat african women though.. hahahaha!!! I was thinking that maybe men who ended up with fat partners liked them when they skinny? LOL.. how superficial does that sonud?!

Will try to bring Miko this Friday. :)

Hahaha.. I'm a fat dude.. I can empathize with them :D hahaa but for what its worth.. of course we cannot discredit that appearances do make a count- tho arguably how much it matters to us varies from person to person..

Jon Lai said...

its not so bad for guys i think.. hahaha :)

kenchin said...

But how do u measure gal's sizes anyway? hahaa if i was measured i'd have to put my size in index form.. u know like 5.6 x 10^8 or smth liddat :P

Jon Lai said...

hmm you don't measure girl's sizes.. they're already measured aren't they? Size 6 is the smallest (I think). Like guys would be size 28-34 for pants and maybe a 15-16 for shirts. No idea how they get the measurements though. I don't think it means my butt is 5 times as big as Miko!! LOL :p

kenchin said...

hmm i wonder if its a logarithmic or linear scale :P cos if its a linear scale, your butt is 5x bigger.. if its a logarithmic scale then your butt would be well.. 10^5x bigger.. well all i have to say is that i would believe that is more linear scale.. but well ur butt being 10^5x bigger.. well like the Fujitsu motto.. the possibilities are infinite.. well umm as in saying that ur friend is prolly very small sized :)
