11/02 Gorgeous Isn’t Enough

Quote From: amani_santana

 Not to have an argument with you but i completely disagree with your statement about overweight people getting treated differently.---Although it may be true that at first glance we tend to look at the slimmer (Fit) person first, but if an overweight person comes in for an interview and has all the confidence and personality in the world, walking in like they know they are  gorgeous and any  one would be happy to be with them( and dress appropriately) i would be more drawn to the overweight person then the Fit Club.  I don't believe with our society the way it is that we put as much emphasis on weight so much as style how they carry themselves, how great they get along with other people. Now a lot of overweight people come into a building with a miserable look on their faces, and have the attitude of " you better not tell me anything about my weight" and want special treatment because they feel they don't get the same breaks as skinnier people and everyone owes them something. Now you know as well as i do NO BODY is going to want to be around someone who has a" I hate the world" attitude. Monique from the show The Parkers is a perfect example of what i am talking about. Any body can pull of being big, it just depends on how Gracefully you do it.
Not true. I have been normal weight and I have been very fat. It's a vicious circle, I got treated worse and worse as I gained weight and in turn I because less and less confident.

So I have personally seen it all. And I have heard it all. Fat people who are confident are often times chided behind their backs about how a "fat girl shouldn't act like that" and that sort of thing. How a fat girl shouldn't bother. And when fat women dress nice I have heard people call them "polished turds"...

So, I wish what you were saying is true, but it's not.

I agree!  I don't think being hired for certain jobs has anything with size.  It has everything to do with a good attitude,  self- image and presentation.  If you walk in for an interview and automatically think "They're going to hate me" then you more than likely won't get the job.  Even though you may not realize it people can read your body language and attitude.  However, if you walk in with your head held high then you'll get it unless you're just not "qualified."
