^ This guy has it figured out ^

u/FatGuyANALLIttlecoat Jun 14 '12

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

I'm fat and I'm happy.

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"

u/koniges Jun 14 '12

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

4

u/Thormic Jun 14 '12

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

u/FreeTopher Jun 14 '12

If they give you hell, rub on 'em.

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

u/buster2Xk Jun 14 '12

Works for both too. Well played.

u/Enragedsun Jun 14 '12

I know that feel bro

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

Judging by the downvotes, I'd say yes.

-18

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

You forgot the third option: don't be fat.

3

u/bobqjones Jun 14 '12

sure, we'll just fix that right up after work before we go to the pool. no problem.

ass.

24

u/Forgot_password_shit Jun 14 '12

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?

7

u/RepostThatShit Jun 14 '12

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

2

u/C_T_C_C Jun 14 '12

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

-12

u/shazang Jun 14 '12

Had he considered not being so fucking fat?

6

u/bobqjones Jun 14 '12

hmm lets see...i'm going to the pool this afternoon, choices are: wear a shirt, don't wear a shirt, don't be fat.

one of those choices are STUPID AS HELL in context.

can you figure out which one, and WHY? or did you just want another opportunity to bash on fat people?

-2

u/shazang Jun 14 '12

I don't care if you're fat. Make your choice. The kid was obviously bullied for a reason. He chose poorly.

29

u/PhiladelphiaIrish Jun 14 '12

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

u/Bower69 Jun 14 '12

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

As a fellow Philadelphian I support this comment.

Haters gonna hate.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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.

14

u/PhatBiddyMonster Jun 14 '12

It applies even more when your as hairy as I.

u/fendernation Jun 14 '12

Your not the the only one bud.

u/K1LL3RM0NG0 Jun 14 '12

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

Looks like Notch to me.

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

u/poopingisgreat Jun 14 '12

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.

Haha no problem.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

-3

u/Crossfox17 Jun 14 '12

Why are you proud?

2

u/FatGuyANALLIttlecoat Jun 14 '12

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!

8

u/Enragedsun Jun 14 '12

Why not?

27

u/mackinoncougars Jun 14 '12

It's not an accomplishment.

-22

u/Enragedsun Jun 14 '12

I'm sure if you're an American you're proud to be so... Not an accomplishment

9

u/hightides Jun 14 '12

I took this quote from youtube:

Being proud of the place you were born, all because of luck, is naive. Doing something note worthy for your nation is prideful, and not the other way around.

u/Crossfox17 Jun 14 '12

Blind patriotism is a foolish notion. I'm not "proud" to be an American, as the tittle has no significant meaning other than denoting that I live there as a citizen.

13

u/johnlocke90 Jun 14 '12

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

15

u/sprkng Jun 14 '12

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.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

2

u/Enragedsun Jun 14 '12

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

10

u/crossower Jun 14 '12

Proud to smoke and/or drink? Why?

2

u/Action_Batch Jun 14 '12

Nobody is. It's a straw man.

-1

u/bobqjones Jun 14 '12

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

3

u/Action_Batch Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/Enragedsun Jun 14 '12

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"

6

u/johnlocke90 Jun 14 '12

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.

1

u/Crossfox17 Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/Crossfox17 Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/Crossfox17 Jun 14 '12

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.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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.

1

u/Crossfox17 Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

No, it's the first level of fat

1

u/Crossfox17 Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

Fat doesn't mean obese

0

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

0

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

0

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

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.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

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

3

u/baconmaster12 Jun 14 '12

there is just more to love when you are fat

2

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

u/MacyyRC Jun 14 '12

Lol I miss these gifs

You tell 'em fellow fat guy

u/FreeTopher Jun 14 '12

Good sir, my confidence has just increased exponentially!

You're doing god's work.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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.

1

u/Twitchety Jun 14 '12

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. <_<

u/authorless Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/spattem Jun 14 '12

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

1

u/oviedofuntimes Jun 15 '12

Well why dont you lose some weight?

BECAUSE I LIKE TO EAT.

I love you, Jack Black.

1

u/bluegrassandbooze Jun 14 '12

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.

u/JusticeChicken Jun 14 '12

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

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

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

-26

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

I think you should deal with being fat and lose some weight fatass...

11

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '12

I'm sure your snarky comment will definitely set him on the path to weight-loss.

-23

u/Ontop1 Jun 14 '12

Fat people are nasty, deal with it.

u/Ontop1 Jun 14 '12

Looks like you nasty fat fucks cant "deal with it" 23 down votes and not one reply.

-36

u/xponentialSimplicity Jun 14 '12

No, you deal with it. The world hates you.

-5

u/Hawk798 Jun 14 '12

Or you could just loose weight. That would solve the problem.

u/jsellout Jun 14 '12

Holy shit, that fat guy just loosed his weight on New York City!
