I'm actually very tolerant. I don't have anything against fat people, just fat people without confidence...its annoying. It's like "God, why don't you stop dressing so badly, get a shave and smile!! You may be fat, but it doesn't mean you have to be depressing all the time...!!". Although Dan deserved it, he had money and bought me shtuffs...

I like fat people who are jolly all the time! They're so fun!

Anyway....The sad thing is, most overweight people are, as you said Jacob, "without confidence" because society treats them as if they are lesser people because they have a problem. Face it, we all have problems whether we carry them on the outside or not.

-oddguy yeah baby!

Shoot, this thread went through a bit of a disaster, I should have emphasised in the post the funniest thing not the best insults!

Fat people I rate pretty much the same as thin, they're no different apart from their physicality.

I feel for people with no confidence though.

Being fat, poor, a loser, paralysed and mentally disabled are my worse fears...

I dislike people with low confidence in general, especially when they try to make friends...its just like "Errr no...hush now"

I don't care what a person looks like. I don't base them off their physique, either. When I look at someone, I look at them emotionally - in the sense that I judge people on who they are.

People with low confidence however, I really don't tolerate that well. I'm more of a person to position myself with people who are confident, and are able to do things unhindered.

But, I've found that everyone has a fear. Like Josh

We're genetically programmed to go for attractive people. If you're attracted to someone you're not attracted to their emotionness...

On the first point i made it does bring up questions such as -

How the Hell do Townies breed!?

I do the same thing. That's the way it should be, but it's hard to find people like that these days. Like Jacob said, society is genetically programmed to go for attractive people.

I don't know why some people don't like you, Alcar. The more I get to know you, the more I find myself saying, "Hey, Alcar's cool!"

I used to be pretty fat. Not like, obese or anything, just past the point of being chubby.

I am 6'1 and weighed about 210 pounds. I am a broad shouldered guy and all...but I had a large gut and a fat ass. It was disgusting.

Then I stopped smoking marijuana, and stopped taking my paxil. This combined with the occasional cocaine/crack bender and lifting weights has left me with muscular arms and pecs, and a much lighter body. I now weigh 170. Unfortunately, because I am somewhat of an alcoholic, I have a small gut.

Luckily, it is so small that I can get away with not wearing a shirt and have a girls not become revolted.


Now, if I could only get a tan..

That may be true, and to me, people still appear attractive. But who is to say that what I find attractive is different to what you find attractive?

I'd much prefer a kind hearted person over some person without a 'heart'. Seriously, who really wants to be around people that constantly criticise you, and others?

Basically, I do find people attractive. From the picture you posted of yourself, I could easily see you were quite attractive. But your attitude, well, that's something else.

So, we're sorted on the whole "they actually have to be attractive" thing then? Townies seem to go for the lesser beings...which would prove the whole evolution thing. For example - you don't see a Peacock trying to breed with a Cockroach do you? Which leads me to believe that certain people are alot less evolved than others. For example - Townies are alot less evolved then, say, Alternatives or Trendy's. However, the argument of 'maybe-they-would-go-for-more-attractiver-people-if-they-could-but-they-can't-cos-they're-shit-ugly' comes into play. Which is true. I'm sure if a Townie had alot of money and dressed nicely and wasn't scum he'd rather sleep with a Trendy or Alternative then go for the 3rd rate, legs-akimbo machine Townie girls usually are.

But thats never going to happen. Although it did one time...a Townie won the Lottery...heh, 'The Independant' (a newspaper) was one of the many papers that covered the story, stating 'Stop scum from playing the Lottery'. And thats what we should do.

:

Heartless people tend to not care about others feelings, yet will put on a facade that makes you think they do. Dan used to critisize me quite abit towards the end of me using him. He used to be all "You're so easily manipulated, Chris. You're so shallow. You're so selfish." he even used to tell his group of friends i used to cry when he mentioned his "ex" (it has recently come to light he has never had a relationship before, heh, stupid c*nt). However, as i realised i wouldn't be able to use him anymore and one of my Bitchiest friends told me to cut the lines i did and told him that i had used him. Manipulated him. Slagged him off totally and, infact, was totally repulsed by him. It was when this happened that he realised he wasn't infallible and his entire group crumbled away. Now, the majority of his group hate him...its fun...he's in my Media and everything...and he's afraid i'll humiliate him infront of everyone...heheh.

That picture was quite bad aswell, but thanks for the compliment. And my attitude changes drasticly if i adore somebody who isn't as nasty as me...such as James...*Sighs happily*...So gorgeous...so nice...so hairy, blech.

True. People usually go for the people that share common interests with themselves. I'd like to ask a question however, what exactly is a townie? I've got a mental image of some total wanker, but was is it according to you? Because here in Australia we don't use the word 'townie' at all.

Of course heartless people don't care about others' feelings. That's why they're heartless, silly What I was saying was, that people like myself, don't prefer to be around people that are heartless. I prefer people who are friendly to talk with, and interesting.

Just don't ruin his social status as well if things go wrong, k?

Oh, a Townie is a nasty little person. They're scum. They break into cars, steal, beat people up. They're homophobic and racist. Usually sexist. Not academic and will sleep around. Usually have unprotected sex most of the time and are thus breeding grounds for STD's. Are not tolerant of others beliefs and would rather pound you into the ground rather than speak rationally. Also, they have really poor conversation skills...

James doesn't repulse me and he's gorgeous and his smile is lovely. The worst i could do is corrupt him so he'd become a malicious Bytch like me...
