As a fat guy who doesn't wear a shirt at the pool, I support this GIF.

[–]fastdub 30 points31 points ago

as a fat guy who doesnt give a flying fuck i support all fat guys not giving a flying fuck

[–]principe_di_reddit 1 point2 points ago

^ This guy has it figured out ^

[–]FatGuyANALLIttlecoat 2 points3 points ago

You and I shall be friends forever, forever, forever, forever.

I'm fat and I'm happy.

[–]testikron 94 points95 points ago

It goes like this:

Fat guy with shirt on in the pool: "What the hell, stop being a pussy and take your shirt off, no one gives a shit"

W/out shirt: "Eww nobody wants to see that. Have a little decency for the people that have to look at that"

[–]koniges 98 points99 points ago

Except that nobody really cares, and they'll know you're fat either way. If they do care, it's cannonball time.

[–]Thormic 1 point2 points ago

Exactly. Nobody cares what anyone else looks like. Well most people anyway. Those that do, don't deserve to not see you.

[–]FreeTopher 11 points12 points ago

If they give you hell, rub on 'em.

[–]deathmint 24 points25 points ago

Reply: "Youre fixin to see the full monte if you dont stfu."

[–]buster2Xk 1 point2 points ago

Works for both too. Well played.

[–]Enragedsun 14 points15 points ago

I know that feel bro

[–]JustForCancer 8 points9 points ago

The first response is what you've heard. The second response is what you're afraid you'll hear.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Has that second part actually happened to you outside of middle school?

[–]mistergookey 0 points1 point ago

Judging by the downvotes, I'd say yes.

[–]Forgot_password_shit 22 points23 points ago

The fuck? So it's suddenly a social norm that fat people wear a shirt when going swimming? Is it just me or does this actually sound completely retarded? The fuck is wrong with people?

[–]RepostThatShit 7 points8 points ago

No, it's just this one kid in school who did it because he was bullied and that became a news story.

[–]C_T_C_C 1 point2 points ago

Just like the kid who wore a bathing suit into the shower

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 26 points27 points ago

Didn't you hear? Some kid found the solution!

[–]Bower69 2 points3 points ago

Having a good personality? Yea, that doesn't work.

[–]BombedCarnivore -1 points0 points ago

As a fellow Philadelphian I support this comment.

[–]hex2600 7 points8 points ago

Haters gonna hate.

[–]Twitchety 4 points5 points ago

You are not alone.

[–]Brashdoodle 4 points5 points ago

That's the way to handle it. You can be awesome in any awkward situation by simply being awesome and not letting it affect you. Zero fucks given is the key.

[–]PhatBiddyMonster 11 points12 points ago

It applies even more when your as hairy as I.

[–]fendernation 2 points3 points ago

Your not the the only one bud.

[–]K1LL3RM0NG0 2 points3 points ago

room for one more? wait.....no touching though e.e

[–]seamus774 4 points5 points ago

It looks like he's shitting the words.

[–]JoinRedditTheySaid 9 points10 points ago

DEAL WITH IT

[–]herp-a-derp-a-gerp 3 points4 points ago

Looks like Notch to me.

[–]slackerman25 15 points16 points ago

It's just too much

[–]dedbet 2 points3 points ago

Being by the pool without my shirt on is my best Zoidberg impression.

[–]poopingisgreat 2 points3 points ago

YES. Being comfortable with your body is to be at peace. Even if you're a Fatty McFatterson. Naked = Human. Deal with it... k I'll get off my pedestal now.

[–]vivalababb 1 point2 points ago

hey.... That's SAGE FRANCIS

[–]jdmarshall 0 points1 point ago

TIL one of my favorite meme gifs features one of my favorite musicians. Thank you.

[–]vivalababb 0 points1 point ago

Haha no problem.

[–]cr0wbar 1 point2 points ago

First I thought it was going to say Brazzers.

[–]alien_alf 6 points7 points ago

I'm fat and I'm proud, almost started truffle shuffle club at school, but I was a signature short

[–]Crossfox17 -2 points-1 points ago

Why are you proud?

[–]FatGuyANALLIttlecoat 1 point2 points ago

Because I have the body I want. I'm happy with my life, relatively active, and I don't give a fuck what people think about me. BOOM!

[–]Crossfox17 -1 points0 points ago

Why are you happy with being fat? It is unhealthy, and it holds you back in many ways. There is no plus side.

[–]Enragedsun 6 points7 points ago

Why not?

[–]mackinoncougars 29 points30 points ago

It's not an accomplishment.

[–]johnlocke90 10 points11 points ago

Because being overweight is linked to a number of serious health issues.

[–]sprkng 16 points17 points ago

I think it's just a bad choice of word, since pride implies that it's good to be fat. However, I think all people have the right to be proud of themselves regardless of their weight. If a fat person goes around feeling ashamed of him/herself it's probably much more difficult to do something about the situation.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I'm Jewish and there's no way I'm gonna be the first to starve in a concentration camp!

[–]Enragedsun 1 point2 points ago

So is smoking and drinking, but there are plenty of people who are proud to do so.. I say let them be proud

[–]crossower 8 points9 points ago

Proud to smoke and/or drink? Why?

[–]Action_Batch 1 point2 points ago

Nobody is. It's a straw man.

[–]bobqjones -2 points-1 points ago

bullshit. you think a fratboy isn't proud of how much he can drink?

[–]Action_Batch 2 points3 points ago

No. I think it's an immature and misguided attempt at impressing people, not actual pride.

[–]Enragedsun 0 points1 point ago

Well I was at a bar with a few buddies and one of them smoked, it was a non smoking bar and I just pointed out that a lot of places don't allow smoking anymore. I suggested he quit, his reply was something like "I'm a proud smoker and I won't quit because of a little discrimination"

[–]johnlocke90 6 points7 points ago

They shouldn't be proud to do so. Its no different than being proud that you aren't educated or that you aren't physically active. Its pride in how you are hurting yourself.

[–]Crossfox17 0 points1 point ago

Drinking socially is not comparable to smoking or being obese. And being proud to be a smoker or an alcoholic is preposterous.

[–]Crossfox17 0 points1 point ago

Because it is unhealthy and detrimental in a multitude of ways.

[–]alien_alf 0 points1 point ago

Because I actually work out, a lot, and if this is the best shape I'll get, why not embrace it?

[–]Crossfox17 0 points1 point ago

Never settle. If there is something holding you back, like an injury, then I can understand. I destroyed my shoulders weightlifting, I messed up my right leg when I wrestled, and as a result I can no longer work out. I still don't think this means you should be satisfied. I am not. If you are truly fat, then you need to lose the weight. It isn't just a matter of image, it is a matter of health.

[–]alien_alf 0 points1 point ago

Like I said, I do work out, I do live a healthy life style, I just have that bit of extra fat that I can't get rid of, and when I say I'm fat I mean that I'm chubby, not overweight.

[–]Crossfox17 0 points1 point ago

There is a big difference between being fat and being chubby.

[–]alien_alf 0 points1 point ago

No, it's the first level of fat

[–]Crossfox17 0 points1 point ago

Medically speaking, there is a difference between being chubby and being obese.

[–]alien_alf 0 points1 point ago

Fat doesn't mean obese

[–]STXDakota -1 points0 points ago

ahaha no you are not proud. I've been really really fat, and I know several people that are / have been fat. No one is proud. Its nothing to be proud of. Everybody who is fat is ashamed, and you know it. Why try to fool people? You and every fat guy reading this knows that I'm right. It fucking sucks to be fat so please do something about it, don't try justifying it by just saying "hurr im fat n proud xD". Be better for yourself.

[–]alien_alf 2 points3 points ago

I work out and eat healthy, just somehow I can't lose my chubbiness, but I am proud cuz now I do those things because I like it, not because I'm trying to lose weight, and besides, I'm cuddly bitch

[–]STXDakota -1 points0 points ago

You can't lose it because you are not at a calorie deficit i.e you are eating as much or more calories than you use. I'm glad you are doing those things, but why are you proud of being fat, it still makes you look worse than you could and might cause problems for you health wise if you don't do anything about it. I'm not here to look down on fat people but I just gotta laugh when people say that they are proud BECAUSE of the fact that they are fat.

[–]alien_alf 2 points3 points ago

My doctor says I am healthy, no high cholesterol, diabetes, nothing, and I'm proud because being fat while having a healthy life style because I like it and not because I'm worried about my looks, and having a girlfriend that likes me for who I am proves to those that worried about their looks, that even a chubby guy can be just as happy and healthy

[–]STXDakota -1 points0 points ago

Look man, I'm not going to discuss this with you as you have clearly made up your mind and come to peace with the realities, but we both know that you would like to be thin and look better.

[–]alien_alf 2 points3 points ago

Like you said, I've made my peace with it

[–]baconmaster12 2 points3 points ago

there is just more to love when you are fat

[–]Cgraces 1 point2 points ago

Who actually gives two shits if fat people wear swim suits?

[–]internetguy789 0 points1 point ago

Don't know if this was originally a GIF but hey I'm fat too

[–]MacyyRC 0 points1 point ago

Lol I miss these gifs

[–]HoboTactics 0 points1 point ago

Shay Carl?

[–]IronChewbacca 0 points1 point ago

I'm surprised Notch hasn't commented on this yet

[–]spekter299 0 points1 point ago

You tell 'em fellow fat guy

[–]FreeTopher 0 points1 point ago

Good sir, my confidence has just increased exponentially!

You're doing god's work.

[–]Bletz 0 points1 point ago

My pasty body makes all the children run from the aquatic sea ghost.

I'm so pasty I need to wear a lead vest to avoid getting sunburnt.

I'm so pasty I've been mistaken for a dead body.

Indoor pool is my only recluse.

[–]Twitchety 0 points1 point ago

This. This makes me so happy every time I watch it.

And I'm not even fat.

Or a dude. So I mean, in my case it wouldn't just be deal with it, it'd be lawsuit for public nudity. <_<

[–]authorless 0 points1 point ago

I highly recommend a Speedo as well, sir. Also, big ladies: bikini.
*wiggle wiggle*
Also: pics!

[–]spattem 0 points1 point ago

If anything this feeling should motivate you to loose some weight.

[–]SarcasticLizard 0 points1 point ago

Meanwhile at Valve:

[–]oviedofuntimes 0 points1 point ago

Well why dont you lose some weight?

BECAUSE I LIKE TO EAT.

I love you, Jack Black.

[–]bluegrassandbooze 0 points1 point ago

Or you could hire an unemployed friend to help you dig a massive hole in your backyard, run your own plumbing, wrap the thing in steel rebar, have a company blast concrete on it and a pool company plaster it, thus creating your own pool.

[–]JusticeChicken -1 points0 points ago

Nobody would do that, and they sure as heck wouldn't post pictures of it if they did.

[–]nomnomchikhan 0 points1 point ago

If only the same thing worked for women. Double standard. :(

[–]danamos 0 points1 point ago

Notch?

[–]wortelcake 0 points1 point ago

Deal with my lack of control over my body and eating behaviour!
