just that really. i have a partner and he is very vocal about his disgust for overweight people and women in particular. he says that hes sure they are nice people but he cant help but judge them for being overweight. i always pull him up on it but it really bothers me.

Leave the bastard. Make sure you put a copy of 'Shallow Hal' on the table as you leave.

pictish · 25/08/2012 23:48

Why is he more venomous about the women in particular?

WorraLiberty · 25/08/2012 23:49

Does he actually hate them or does he just judge them?

There's a big difference

Why women in particular? Confused

AKissIsNotAContract · 25/08/2012 23:49

He sounds pretty shallow. I'd always worry with a man like that - what would happen if your appearance changed in any other way due to illness or accident?

LadySybildeChocolate · 25/08/2012 23:50

Or pregnancy, AKiss. Sad

NurseRatched · 25/08/2012 23:51

Am rubbish at advice OP. He sounds like a Prima facie bleeper - but you may need to provide more info. x

grips · 25/08/2012 23:52

he says if i put on weight he wouldnt be attracted to me anymore but hed always want to be friends Confused hate is the wrong word. he is very judgemental indeed

He's compensating for some insecurity. Does he come from a fat family, was he a fat kid?

Is he just a rude wanker?

carernotasaint · 25/08/2012 23:53

If he is showing more vitriol towards the women in particular then he is a mysogynist.
What will he be like if you put on weight due to pregnancy illness or medication.
Id be out of there like spit through a trumpet or he would!

ThymeLord · 25/08/2012 23:53

Why is it that he hates fat WOMEN? Are fat blokes OK? What if he breaks a leg and gains 3 stone through lack of exercise? What if you decide to eat cake for a year because you want to? I assume he is a greek god with a cock the size of an aubergine?

carernotasaint · 25/08/2012 23:53

he says if i put on weight he wouldnt be attracted to me anymore but hed always want to be friends hate is the wrong word. he is very judgemental indeed

So hes a patronizing cunt as well!

squoosh · 25/08/2012 23:53

Oh he's giving you a warning, how ummm, kind of him. Hmm

LadySybildeChocolate · 25/08/2012 23:53

"he says if i put on weight he wouldnt be attracted to me anymore but hed always want to be friends" Um...so what happens if you ever find out you're pregnant?? Seriously, why would you want to be with someone like this when there's so many lovely men out there?

ThymeLord · 25/08/2012 23:54

Tell him that you have been kind and supportive given that his cock is the size of a button mushroom in a freezer and his face looks like he has come out of the wrong end of a fight with a bacon crusted frying pan but sadly your moving on.

BarredfromhavingStella · 25/08/2012 23:54

FFS, we all have 'tastes' if he doesn't like fat birds then he doesn't like them-are you one, is that the issue???

I am very shallow & don't do skinny or fat (think rugby player, Mmmmmm) or ugly, does that make me a twat? maybe so but I don't give a fuck-well not to the skinny, fat or ugly ones anyway Hmm

AgentZigzag · 25/08/2012 23:55

DH saying something like that (which he wouldn't) would prompt me to reach for the Doritos so I could sit there chomping on them whilst staring at him - just so he knew what I thought.

thenightsky · 25/08/2012 23:56

God. Bloody men with their agendas designed to keep wimmin on their toes Angry

Wowserz129 · 25/08/2012 23:56

Sounds like a horrible judgemental idiot if you ask me!!

squoosh · 25/08/2012 23:56

Barred why be such a cunt?

AgentZigzag · 25/08/2012 23:56

'fat birds' Barred? Is that anything to do with the game angry birds?

Flojo1979 · 25/08/2012 23:57

YABU

ThymeLord · 25/08/2012 23:57

BarredfromhavingStella - Why not have another Stella and say hello to Madame Palm and her 5 beautiful daughters?

AgentZigzag · 25/08/2012 23:57

Good question squoosh.

Nicely phrased.

carernotasaint · 25/08/2012 23:57

This attitude from men is just another way of keeping women in their place.

grips · 25/08/2012 23:57

he doesnt come from a fat family. he is athletic build and works out often. he just doesnt undertsand why people do it to themselves. he thinks they should stay out of the fridge and he is very vocal about this. we had dinner out last night and the waitress came over and took our order. she was overweight. this registered with me only because i just knew he would say something and when she walked away i looked at him and he laughed and said ' im saying nothing because nothing needs to be said ' and laughed.

he dislikes fat men too and judges them as well
