What negative things do you associate with being thin? What positives do you associate with being fat?

Fat, first of all is a negative term in itself, really. But i'd say that being "wealthy" is associated with being big. It's just assumed that you are well fed and aren't living hand to mouth because you can afford to eat when you are hungry. To eat a lot, you need some kind of money. So that's why wealth is associated in many cultured with being big.

But i wonder, why do you need only negative things about being thin and only positive things about being fat? Why not a little of both. Your teacher is only pepetuating really biased views on different body types. Some of these assignments i keep hearing around here from various teachers i find really questionable, and this is one of those times.

From my experience, the negatives of being skinny are:

- Can't find clothes that fit

- People assume you don't eat

- The 'real women have curves' thing- I do have curves, they're just small ones! Just because I'm skinny, that doesn't mean I'm not a woman.

- Late puberty if you're really little

The positives of being fat, well, I can't ever say that I know because I've always been a small person. I'm sure they exist- I have a friend who is a big guy but also very strong.

Nothing negative really about being thin as long as you're healthy weight, um being fat have a lot of health problems.

Thin - unhealthy and not muscular

Fat - muscular underneath the fat (from carrying all the extra weight)

negative things bout bein skinny chic is that they prob so worried about gettin fat they starve themselves and that can lead to anerexia or bulimic neverosa.

Positives things about being fat you can beat the skinny b1@tch down for call u fat.. thats about it.

case in point. Skinny chicks are hot.. fat chicks are not.
