Upset by confident fat chick

[JabToucher]

I attended a pretty large concert tonight. It was pretty damn good too! Only an exceptionally large woman decided to stand right in front of me obscuring my view.

I let it go, as I could move a pace left or right. Wrong!

She's ever so confidentially dancing about without a care in the world, shifting left & right.

We had to completely change locations because of her.

For the record I am not talking about a BBW or a plump but still "ok enough" type chick. She was as wide as she was tall, and yet she was obviously having a great time! With no regard whatsoever about ruining other peoples views!

When you say a very large concert, what do you mean?

The best boy band of all time - Take That.

Only it was missing it two members. Still pretty good though!

Damn bro... damn.
I really always enjoy and support your posting, but this comes off poorly. Like a bigger girl was having fun, and you judged her and then had to move away before she beat your ass.
Fortunately, it seems like you were able to.

Actually, props to both of you since y’all’s went separate ways (you know, with her staying and you tucking tail and finding a new spot), but at least you two didn’t cause a stupid scene and ruin a pop concert for the kids it was intended for. So props to you, and mad props to the bigger girl making it work.

It's not as simple as it seems, what offends me that is.

You constantly see now this push for body confidence and loving your own skin etc!

I am not slim now, but I'm no where near as large as I used to be. It look a lot of hard work to lose weight.

What bothers me is, seeing massively overweight people have an enormous amount of confidence.

Ten odd years ago you were treated like absolute shit if you were overweight! None of this new mindset existed then.

I'd be lying if I said it doesn't grind my gears seeing obese people have this denial about the way they look! Like this whale acting like she was Britney Spears!

Oh, I know someone who will love your skin.
He loves all types of the flesh.
You've met him before, for he resides in you.

Shes doing way more damage to herself than she did to you. Let it go

 

[drstrangelov]

If you got there on time the fat lady wouldn’t have beaten you to the prime spot. For all your talk, she planned better than you and had a better time. You should get some advice from her on lifestyle choices, since hers are paying off more than yours.

Dude....

I went to the Bush, Alice in Chains, STP concert in Washington. My tickets were kind of close. Not too close. I had to sit RIGHT next to like, this 500 lb chick. I couldn't even put my arm down and had to squeeze tight. I said fuck this and kept checking the online ticketmaster seating, so I moved to a New row next to some hot skinny chicks. Ugh.

See, I see what you’re saying, but I can’t help but see her side of it. New age acceptance or not, you know she wakes up every morning wishing she was different from what she’s actually like. And now you’re irritated because she’s able to forget it for long enough to have fun at a concert. All while knowing full well that most likely she cries at least 3 nights a week wishing she could beat her demons for long enough to not be the way she is.
I’ve read your posts, and I know you’ve dealt with it, and I’m not sure if you’ve seen my posts in the “post your pic” thread, but it’s something I struggle with as well. Sometimes I get my shit together and get in solid shape, and sometimes I forget about it and end really fucking fat, and it’s not a good feeling. Do you really just want her to just go and stand in the corner knowing that she’ll wake up tomorrow wishing her life was different and hating herself? She was trying to have fun, she certainly wasn’t trying to ruin your evening. You really can’t give her that?

Ah fuck dude.

I'd be fucking furious too if i was shorter than some woman standing in front of me.

Good for her

Considering I'm 6'5 odd (obviously), she was a pretty big gal!

Ah, how do we phrase this on sherdog?
Oh yeah, “literally none of this happened”
Ha, sorry, had to

You've raised some pretty good points, which I'm appreciative of.

To be honest I've felt this way for a long time and after tonight I just needed to vent.

I am not happy with the way obesity is handled in today's society. If someone feels good about them self, great! But that isn't going to help them lose weight is it, just feeling confident.

I often think if what I went through was still about, it may change things for the better (long term).

And no, I don't really harbor any ill feelings to that chick, just it was an annoyance.

It bothers me when an obese person derives their confidence from their obesity. An example of that is plus size models. But in your case there is no indication that the woman's confidence was based on her physical condition. So you're being an asshole. Assuming she's self aware, her life is hard enough.

Fortunately as a non-manlet I never have to deal with this
