Does modern society really accept overweight people?

I'll let you know up front that this is going to be mostly my opinion and nothing written here is meant to offend any S-- or anyone in general. Being an overweight person I will sometimes have a slender person ask me if I feel overweight people are accepted in society these days. The people that know me that ask that question know that I have been different sizes like slender, cut, stocky and flatout grossly fat at different times in my life. The answer that I'll tell anyone is "YES and NO". The reason I give for this answer is because of more than one view point that I see. If you are going to be accepted in society being overweight it really depends on your sex, age, how overweight you are, how your body hold that weight, how nice your face is(I see this applying to women more so than men), how tough you are in a fight(this usually applies to men), how good your personality is and how much money you have(this usually aplies to men as well). To start things off, the first thing I said was about your s--. I notice from where I stand that women are the most accepted of all overweight people around. Alot more men have a thing for an overweight woman than women have a "fetish" for an overweight man from what I see. This is easy for me to see being an overweight man. I'll run into women with comparable size and looks to mine(in a sense) and they will do at least 5 times better at meeting people than I do. A friend of mine once told me the way I'm looking the only way I would get an attractive women is only if they had a flatout fat fetish, unfortunately I believe now he is right. Sometimes age can play a role in how well you do. I feel with the exception of up to elementary school once you hit social level like junior high,high school or even college with a little luck and personality people will give you a fair shot. Beyond a certain age though people are always less civil and the fatter you are the more so this is true. Depending on your build and how well you hold fat will also give you better odds of people accepting you too. Remember, some people hold weight better than others do. Having a nice face can really help as well with getting along with people. Alot of people like to look at nice eyes and a great smile, but then again not everyone can hold fat well on their face or have good natural facial features. A good thing to mention would be the part about personality. Personality really can do alot for you with getting along with others. But, to be straight to the point and blunt, the one thing personality by itself can not do is get you sex(I have yet to see that one). The last point I will mention is money. When you got money(at least these days and times) no one cares how ugly, fat or how bad of a person you may be, they will still deal with you regardless. This remark is not meant to offend women, but it will offend some anyhow. I see alot more women go for fat man with money than I do a man that goes for a fat woman just because they have money. My theory on this is because a man can not easily fake S-- like a woman can(then again I could be wrong).

I have to say I'm 50-50 on this issue. Yes it does seem there are more men ( large and slender as well) that realy dig the big girls, than there are large women wanting large men. I personally have been with guys of all sizes. Been attracted to slender guys, athletic guys, chubby guys, fat guys. The only type of man ( or woman) I'm not attracted to is people that are super skinny, or really, REALLY large ( or really muscular men or women, it scares me:shock:) . Not because I'm being judgemental, but to be honest, I don't want to be crushed during sex, nor have to lift up rolls to try to find the goodies. I may sound mean, but I'm just being honest.

Also you have to admit women have way more stress on them from eveywhere to be thin and fit to be considered beautiful. They're just now starting to really promote plus size models, etc. However, even online ( heck especially online) women get bashed way more for being chubby, fat, whatever than men do. Heck I've been bashed for my weight by guys that are my size or larger. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black ( or however that goes ) I'm sorry but its just ridiculous ( and I'm really not conceited or trying to seem so) when these men are larger or really unattractive and they have the nerve to bash you. Its like hey, you need to be looking in the reality mirror, not the bizzarro world mirror. I mean sure looks aren't everything, not even really that big a deal, but don't try to bash others, especially when you're not much to look at yourself.
