This really happened to me today [FB]

"On average, you both seem about right"

gringobachatero · 4 months

You should have said "everything's relative" when looking at the skinny one.

lordhumunguss · 4 months

in cases like that, you say either "I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole" or, better yet, "my attorneys have advised me against answering that line of questioning".

Next time, just call them on their bullshit. I fucking hate it when people, not just women, do this sort of shit.

As an old guy, I can tell you the best thing to do when a female asks you anything about her (or someone else) looking fat, being fat, or does this make anyone look fat: Become deaf, you never heard the question. No answer is the best answer.

tripinbalz · 4 months

Man I wish that happened to me. I'm a personal trainer, could have scored a client or two. "Fat is such a nasty word, but I think you are beyond the healthy weight range. Easily fixable though, you obviously have a lovely bone structure and after a few months of training with me I think you'd look incredible. Is this time every week good for you?

peetah74 · 4 months

It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is if you're happy with the way you are.

boon420 · 4 months

Being polite to a stranger = being an asshole?

Their sample size is bad and they should feel bad.

BolshevikMuppet · 4 months

The problem with all of the "OMG, I can't win" is that different women react different ways to even the same thing.

Sure, some girls would freak out if you actually said "well, yes". But maybe she was looking for honesty. Generalizing about "that gender" isn't any more valid than her generalization about "all men."

Nurger · 4 months

Remain calm and say in a steady voice: "this is a trap, and you should be ashamed.". The do the ಠ_ಠ.

kleinbl00 · 4 months

Crazy knows no bounds, gender or otherwise.

cvwilson · 4 months

I'm seeing a lot of generalization here, which is super lame. Those women were wrong for tricking you and for claiming you represent all men. But you're also in the wrong for claiming they represent all women. Assholes exist everywhere. Period.

davy_crockett · 4 months

Why couldn't you just copy the text from your own Facebook post and make a self post here? Oh..

scamperly · 4 months

The correct answer is: "Do you?"

[deleted] · 4 months

Well to be fair, you did lie. In all seriousness I have been confronted with a similar situation in a bar and I told the truth without hesitation and without being cruel or mean. She never came back in and I got flak for it. But the bottom line in my world is, if you cannot handle the truth... don't fucking ask. People need to understand that and get over it.

ZombieBroad · 4 months

It has nothing to do with her gender. She's just a crazy person.

Good_Guy_Graig · 4 months

I'm not falling for this. Yes she is fat. That is indeed why you two are at the gym, right?

CopyX · 4 months

Here's how you handle it:

Put your headphones back in.
Go back to lifting.

You can't win with a loaded question. The only way to win is to not play the game. Refuse to play their game.

sceptreofnarwhal · 4 months

Of corse you were on shock.

VelAwesomeRaptor · 4 months

Yup. All women act exactly the same way. Everywhere, in the whole world.

Edit: The above statement contains sarcasm. Proceed accordingly.

theweslawson · 4 months

You can't win with assholes. Don't lump all women together like that just because you ran into two female assholes.

AhhhClem · 4 months

At the gym? Be real and suggest what exercise would work on her particular physique. She is there for a reason.

haltingpoint · 4 months

Alternate responses:

"Why would you ask someone you don't know something like that?" (protip, introduce yourself after saying that and start chatting up the cute one)

Or, the dodge "You're interrupting my workout."

Or the nice honesty "I wouldn't say fat, but she is overweight. But I really don't see why that matters to you."

SnallTrippin · 4 months

"I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me."

missbarajaja · 4 months

it's a trap! girls like that know what kind of response they're gonna get when they ask you that. if you said yes, you're an insensitive asshole. If you say no, you're a lying scumbag. honestly girls are stupid for even asking that question.

Darkstrategy · 4 months

"Somewhat, but you have a pretty face," and then continue on with what you were doing. It's polite, honest, and encouraging all at once.

HaHaBoom92 · 4 months

I don't understand how being honest here would have hurt you. I mean you're in a gym; a place where people generally are going for self improvement. Frankly, trying to fill this girls mind with false information is a worse crime than damaging her pride. Honesty is a premium, don't let fear of offending someone stop you from telling the truth.

genderfucker · 4 months

So when you encounter a man saying something stupid, do you say the same thing about their entire gender?

Azozel · 4 months

I can't believe all the liars here. The correct answer is "Yes." The end. Trust me, as someone who has been overweight I want to be told the truth.

Edit: I'm still overweight, but I recently lost 34lbs from my heaviest weight

chemkitten · 4 months

willmakavelli · 4 months

why post your own facebook status instead of just posting a text link?

GoodbyeDoggy · 4 months

Louis C.K said it best: “Here’s the difference, to me, between boys and girls: Boys fuck things up; Girls are fucked up. That’s the difference. Boys just do damage to your house that you can measure in dollars, like a hurricane. Girls, like, leave scars in your psyche that you find later, like a genocide or an atrocity… That’s the difference between boys and girls. And it becomes the difference between men and women, really. A man will, like, steal your car or burn your house down or beat the shit out of you, but a woman will ruin your fuckin’ life. Do you see the difference? Like, a man will cut your arm off and throw it in a river, but he’ll leave you as a human being intact. He won’t fuck with who you are. Women are nonviolent, but they will shit inside of your heart.”

aogadbois · 4 months

Tell the truth dude.

Mharbles · 4 months

First you ask if they want you to be honest or be nice, then you are blameless.

bamboleo · 4 months

So the fat girl knows the skinny girl thinks she's fat, and the skinny girl acknowledges that the fat girl is fat.

DaVincitheReptile · 4 months

I would have told her yeah, she's fat, but at least she's at the gym working on it.

CravingSunshine · 4 months

Ok...look. I'm far from a crazy rage face feminist but the gender comment did irk me a bit. It probably irked me as much as the all men are liars comment irked him.

mariokartmaster64 · 4 months

Coral Springs!!

Digitel · 4 months

you should have said.. you mean like how much fatter is she than you? or just in general compared to the population?

either way she is fat, But dont smile.. and make it seem like you are the expert that they thought you were when they decided to come ask you such a question. Point out where she holds most of her weight and suggest surgeries since you know by her current physical and mental condition that diet and exercise are not enough for such a project like her friend.

Oh and never talk the over weight girl directly only to the one that asked the question

Phuzzums · 4 months

"Yeah, you are overweight, but your friend is a bitch. You can fix weight problems, you can't fix bitch."

MesioticRambles · 4 months

No you can't win. I would tell them outright the situation is "Hey, if I say yes you're gonna be offended, if I say no you're gonna call me a liar and then be offended. No matter what I answer with you're going to hear yes so I am not going to answer that question"

fusihunter · 4 months

Try this next time.

"I only lied so you didn't kill yourself you fat bitch"

Then you'll get the "all men are assholes", but women dig that, so it's not so bad.

acharmedmatrix · 4 months

whatsasnozberry · 4 months

So you're stereotyping a gender because a couple members of that gender stereotyped you?

Classy.

copy paste that shit into a self post, fb screenshots are terrible. hell i can't go to a public place without overhearing what some asshole saw on facebook.

Why the fuck do men have to tiptoe around a woman's weight like it's a minefield but women get to mock a husband who had his penis cut off by his wife?

IonOtter · 4 months

Girl: "Is she fat?"

Me: "I'm afraid so, yes."

Girl: "Wow. An honest guy! Say, are you doing anything Friday night?"

Me: "Yes. My boyfriend."

starcraftlolz · 4 months

Quit being so damn nice. That's the problem with fat people nowadays. All of their friends and family tell them that they don't need to lose weight that they look beautiful the way they are. NO. You're not healthy simple as that.

ursa_major13 · 4 months

It's her own damn fault for being a fat-ass bitch. I would in no way call myself skinny, I weigh 170 lbs, but even I'm not idiotic enough to ask a guy if I am fat and then bitch to him about how he is an asshole. Seriously, I apologize for my gender.

PhilipScrewdriver · 4 months

You don't know the bitch, say yes.

juicedoobie · 4 months

Bitches be crazy.

Esgobarr · 4 months

This is why honesty is important, should have told her she is fat and that she needs to figure out a plan for losing that fat. BOO YA!!!

rosebud_ep_sc · 4 months

tldr; she's fat AND a bitch

morgysmitty · 4 months

Should've been honest.

"Yes she's fat. No reason to sugarcoat it because she'd probably eat that too."

[deleted] · 4 months

I dunno. I would have to see her naked first.

mycatspajamas · 4 months

Sorry kiddo... ain't no winning with those two. You were caught in a trap no matter what you said. Some girls live for that shit, and that's what those two were looking for. Its trolling in the shrewdest way. Brush it off, homie.

In all honesty, I would have replied "Well, I wouldn't use that word, but she is certainly overweight."
