Just been called a fat bitch for no reason

I was walking to collect DS from school and whilst on my way some ‘man’ for absolutely no reason at all, decided to shout “fat bitch” at me out of his car window. What’s hurt me the most is that I’ve recently lost a bit of weight and am continuing doing so, which has sparked a little bit of confidence back in me. I’ve started making more of an effort with my hair and makeup and have bought myself some new clothes. How can I not let this arsehole get to me and make me not want to carry on losing weight😔 I don’t understand why you would do that to somebody!?

What a prick! I bet you any money that he would've shouted it to any woman. Unfirtunately it just happened to be you.

It's not about you, it's him - a stupid pathetic man who gets a kick out of being horrible. I note that he did it from inside the protection of his car, what a coward.

Maireas · 17/06/2022 16:34

It's not about your weight. It's about humiliating women, giving him power and control.
You're upset, but just try to put it out of your mind. He's an ignorant, misogynistic prick.
I bet you look great! Flowers

Toughtimesagain · 17/06/2022 16:35

Weirdly this exact thing happened to me last night. However, I put it aside in my head that he’s a shit man in a shit car who can only feel good by putting other people down. What a tragic way to live your life.
Honestly, he’s the one who should be feeling rubbish right now.
Well done on your weight loss. As the MN saying goes, you can carry on losing weight but he will always be an arsehole.

ComDummings · 17/06/2022 16:38

He’s a massive prick. It’s not about your weight it’s about wanting to hurt someone - men know the easiest way to hurt a woman verbally whether she’s fat or thin is to call her fat. It says so much about him but nothing about you. I know it’s hard not to take it personally but please don’t let such a wank stain bring you down. Keep making an effort with your makeup and stuff if that makes you happy. Keep going with your weight loss for yourself.

HSKAT · 17/06/2022 16:39

Agree it's not you.
It's him wanting to show power, show off infront of someone.

JennetHumfrye · 17/06/2022 16:39

This has happened to me recently, and like you I have actually lost a bit of weight and was starting to feel a bit better about myself.

Don't let it knock you. Think about how pathetic he must be to get his kicks out of shouting abuse at strangers. He deserved none of your headspace. Misogynistic prick! I would rather be overweight than a rude and pathetic cretin.

LondonQueen · 17/06/2022 16:39

He is an arse OP, he would have most likely shouted it at any passing women. I had a lovely couple shout "fat whore" at me when I was going into the gym, I'm a perfectly healthy weight, but it did make me feel a little insecure.

RaspberryChouxBuns · 17/06/2022 16:39

Cos he's a dickhead with no respect. Hope he bursts into flames.

Thalatta · 17/06/2022 16:39

I’ve been called a fat bitch by a stranger on Twitter before- my picture is just a close up of my eye so no idea what he was basing the “fat” on. I think some men just use it as a standard insult to all women.

What a prick.

SummerHouse · 17/06/2022 16:40

You are beautiful.

He is a very sad, ugly idiot.

You probably have a lovely life with lots of people who love you. Him? Not so much. What an utter arsehole.

HoofWankingSpangleCunt · 17/06/2022 16:40

What you do is you brush off that Teflon shield and put out of your mind the twattish behaviour of some no mark wanker.

This says EVERYTHING about him and NOTHING about you.

Well done with losing weight. Feeling healthier is a great confidence booster. Ignore this wanker, seriously he’s not worth any of your energy.

KitKattaktik · 17/06/2022 16:42

Think how sad his life must be for him to try to bring other people down to make himself feel better.

He's the saddo with problems.

Onwards and upwards! You can do this! Put that pathetic slime out of your mind, he hasn't paid rent so he can't stay there!

BingeBitch · 17/06/2022 16:43

Unfortunately cunts are going to cunt.
I get shouted at a lot. I’m enormous. It goes over my head now but sometimes I do this:
“hmm?”
They repeat
“sorry what?”
They repeat again and on and on until the dumb shits realise I’m just making them repeat themselves like a parrot. Then I walk away laughing. They really don’t like it. I really don’t care.

Mammma91 · 17/06/2022 16:43

What a knob! I bet you look fab OP. Continue what your doing and you should be proud of your progress. Who raises these people?!

VastQuantities · 17/06/2022 16:46

Has happened to me. It's horrible. But it's not personal. It's just some moronic arsehole that thinks he's big, "showing off" to some equally moronic arsehole friend in the car. Showing off his ignorance and lack of intellect, that is.
Really- it wasn't personal to you. You just happened to be there.

BingeBitch · 17/06/2022 16:46

P.S it’s usually tiny knob syndrome that causes this behaviour, when a man feels inadequate due to a teeny weeny trouser snake they abuse and belittle women to feel better about themselves. Poor little willy boys.

RooRem2 · 17/06/2022 16:47

Thanks everyone🙂 I know I shouldn’t let people like him bother me but I guess I can’t help it. He must live a shit life if he goes around doing this! I shall carry on losing my weight and think “fuck you” 😁

You could have looked like anything and he would have shouted. He's a dickhead. Don't let the loser win and ruin your day and diet. Guys like him always find something to say because they're just out to hurt. They hate women and feel angry at us for all sorts of reasons. It's truly not you, it's him. He's a tosser.

Pastaa · 17/06/2022 16:50

You know they shout at teenagers, at school girls, at children, at mums with babies. They don't care how you'll feel beyond hoping it will make you upset. Don't let him be right.

BringBackCoffeeCreams · 17/06/2022 16:51

Take comfort from the fact that he's a very, very unhappy man.

Advanceofthetrifle · 17/06/2022 16:52

You WERE called it for a reason. That reason was simply that a damaged man decided to verbally punch down. All about him and not you 😘

PresidentByeThen · 17/06/2022 16:54

I was called a 'Prostitute!' by a random dicksplash in a van whilst I was walking to work.

To be fair, I was asking for it, in my yellow raincoat, walking boots and jeans.

Men who do things like this are pitiful, it says nothing about the women they are abusing and everything about them and their lack of self esteem.

Afterfire · 17/06/2022 16:54

That is just dreadful. Poor you! Such an arsehole!!

Stuff like that makes me so angry. I am overweight myself and going through all sorts of health issues which haven’t helped, I’d be so upset if someone said that to me - but like others say it’s totally his issue.

People can be such dicks!

catwomando · 17/06/2022 16:55

Yeah and I bet he's george fecking clooney.

He's an ugly fucker who probably has a tiny willy and can't get laid.

You on the other hand are a wonderful woman with a fabulous body, and good manners.

I know who I'd prefer to spend time with Smile

Tryhard40 · 17/06/2022 16:56

EWWWWW...what an absolute wanker!

Men like this deserve to be hung upside down by their pubes for all eternity whilst having their balls gnawed by mangey ferrets.

I always wonder with people like this what kind of upbringing they must have had to find this ok? He must have a very sad life.
