Why all the hate on skinny girls?

[Anonymous]

I notice on GAG a lot of people mak fun of gals being skinny. Or in polls. People say that girl looks like a skeleton or real ladies are curvy. So you guys really think that someone isn't a real woman if she's skinny? Or that being skinny is ugly? I'm just confused. because I'm skinny and in real life I get a lot of attention and compliments about my body from people all the time. And I see people talk on here about how bigger girls are more attractive. It's just so weird how different this website is then real life.

Skinny girls are hot?

Skinny girls are gross?

To understand this question, you have to understand how the advertising model works in conjunction with modern capitalism, as it's actually what is driving this behaviour.

Capitalism needs people buying lots of products, all the time. Especially products they don't really need. And if the product is a consumable, that you have to buy over and over again, then it's perfect. Advertising is designed to convince you that you need to go and buy these non-essential products. And advertising is hyper-intelligent. It uses every psychological trick in the book to convince you that you want to buy the products. And one of the best ways to get you to buy consumable products is to make you feel unhappy with yourself. Particularly with your body. Unhappy people buy more, because they hope the 'stuff' will make them feel happy. People unhappy with their body buy the most.

In the first half of the 1900s, there were a couple big wars, times were tough, it could be challenging to eat 'healthy', so it was 'easy' to be skinny. It was a simple byproduct of malnutrition. So all of the ads were about how real women had curves and nobody wanted to look like a beanpole. It was unfeminine.

Second half of the 1900s were a time of relative prosperity. It became ridiculously easy to get easy calories. So it became easy, and cheap, to be 'not skinny'. Too easy. The obesity problems started kicking in. Suddenly, to make people feel bad about themselves, you couldn't tell them to 'no be thin'... instead you needed to tell them 'fat looks unhealthy... be skinny! Super thin is super hot!'... because now it was hard to be super skinny. Everything was full of excessive calories. Runway models started looking anorexic, like they were heroin junkies.

Now you are getting girls growing up more health conscious, so they are maintaining a better weight from an early age. So now they need it to be 'curves, but fit, but ass, but firm'. A Frankenstein combination that is hard to naturally achieve.

yanno, i find all bodies amazing. truthfully! i have a dear friend on another site and some tell her she is 'too skinny' and to 'eat something'. trust me, she does! she just naturally has a thin body. i find her amazingly beautiful. i am a 'body positive' type of person. every single person has attributes, physically and mentally, that make them beautiful. i don't use the term 'curvy' to describe MY body. i am FAT. i know i am FAT. but i think i'm a beautiful person, who is outgoing, in your face, and blunt. i get people saying SUCH negative things to me as well, asking HOW can you think you are SEXY, you are SO FAT. uhhh duhhh, it's OBVIOUS i am fat, but if i FEEL sexy, i am sexy. people judge too much on body type. but it's the way the media has shoved crap down our throats. one minute very thin is the mainstay of the bar society of beauty and other types are shunned, then someone will be 'pro fat' and then some will start shaming thinner people. guys are told that if you are tall and thin and not muscle bound, you aren't 'hot'. i'm fat and don't give a FUCK who likes it. it is what it is. i can't CHANGE the cards i was dealt, i just have to rock what i got.

[lumos]

People think that it's impossible to hate on people who are considered to look attractive by the media's standards. Thinness is one generally considered attractive feature. But that obviously doesn't mean that people aren't capable of being vicious towards thinner people. Some people don't realize this, because they think it's "funny", or they think that the kind of hate overweight people receive are worse. They think it's funny and ok to tell a thin person to eat a hamburger, but questionable to tell an overweight people to eat a salad (yes, I know that there are people who think that that's funny/ok too, obviously).
I've heard bigger people say that it's ok to bully thin people, because they're merely retaliating and giving back for all the bullying they've received. But that's not ok. You don't achieve anything by doing that. You only end up hurting people who don't deserve it, and in the end it doesn't solve the bigger picture. You just hurt more people.
People should learn how to accept all body types.

[Asker]

Yes! 10000x yes.

[bubble_tea]

If they want to retaliate, they should retaliate to people who bullied them, not the next people who physically resemble their bullies but seem too nice to fight back.

[lumos]

@bubble_tea no retaliating in any form should happen at all. :/ The bullies should be punished, yes, but not with their own medicine. Hate only breeds more hate. And we don't need more hate.

[CHARismatic110]

I'm a bigger person that has been bullied and I don't think it's ok to bully thinner girls. I don't feel like anyone should be ridiculed beavsue of their weight. I'm for body acceptance. And in my eyes that doesn't mean putting down one size to uplift another.

[lumos]

@CHARismatic110 100% agree. Backhanded compliments and putting someone down in a subtle way to lift someone else up is totally unnecessary. I can't stand people who don't even understand that they're doing it.

[lumos]

& lol I just realized how many grammatical errors I made in this post. I'm too tired :|

[CHARismatic110]

Lol it's ok. I have a few errors of my own in there.

[desidoll]

Because being skinny is the ideal standard of our society today, whether people want to admit it or not. Bigger girls are seen as unattractive and less accepted. So some people feel like it's okay to make fun or put down skinny girls just to make them feel as bad as the bigger girls.

I'm curvy but I have nothing against skinny girls. If they are healthy why do we need to bother?

This is just the same issuse like a lot of people think that it's okay to put down girls with big boobs to make the girls with small boobs feel better. Playing with someone's self-esteem isn't cool.

[AleDeEurope]

Because people think that skinny people can't be insecure, so they don't really care about the comments they tell them. I've been skinny/lean all my life, and I've always gotten comments about it, all of them coming from people that are either fat or out of shape.
People believe skinny people are 100% happy with their body and that no comment will hurt them, but it's not true. I wish I had more muscles, and I'm working on it, but just like it hurts a fat guy to make fun of their body, it also hurts a skinny guy.

This picture is a clear example. The fact that we glorify, or accept, fat, aka unhealthy, bodies, but criticize skinny, which is normally healthy, is a problem that we have.

[LilWeezey]

I'm skinny too the only skinny comments that bother me are when people call me anorexic or say they want to look like me.

People need to stop offending and stop being offended. Mostly the second

[AleDeEurope]

@LilWeezey It doesn't offend me, but it does bother me that they always have to comment about it. I mean, ok, I got it, I'm skinny, but dude, the joke gets old, I bet that if I tell you "Bro, you're soooo fat" you wouldn't be happy. What bothers me is the hypocrisy of thinking it's right to criticize skinny people, but can't do the same with fat ones.
It doesn't offend me, but it does offend many other people. But you're right, if people got less offended, there wouldn't be so many comments.

[LilWeezey]

The jokes do get old i agree.
I get skinny jokes and short jokes.
They get old fast... Really old

[Starrk]

When you say you are skinny, do you by any chance mean slim. Because there is a big difference between the two. When I think of skinny I think of a girl with no muscle or fat and is on the verge of anorexia. But slim sounds like the girl is lean with muscles/fat thus giving her a more pleasing and healthy look.

As for your question, what society view as beautiful has changed constantly over time. Hundred of years ago fat/obese girls were worshipped as beauty. Then it changed to slim girls, then it went to skinny girls, then it went to curvy girls, then it went back to slim and then again to skinny, and now its shifting back to what it was in the 50s which is thick/curvy girls like Marilyn Monroe was.

[front2back]

Because the Big Blubbery Women have an inferiority complex that makes them hate any girl of normal weight.

[Asker]

Hahaha! :'D

[rockaholic]

Real women :-D
People doesn't have a right to decide whether or not you're a real woman
Skinny is like fat
Both are not 100% healthy
So it's up for the guy...
Maybe he likes/hates skinny girls
That's all:-)

[laughterandfun]

I think that all girls are now being hated on, if you're skinny or if you're curvy. People say all women are beautiful but as soon as they see a skinny girl its like "shes too skinny" or if they see a curvy girl they go "shes too curvy or fat" and I think its really rude, if were happy with our figure why can't you because we could say something about yours but we don't so leave us alone. I think that all figures are beautiful and it shouldn't matter if someones skinny or curvy unless it affects their health.

[CHARismatic110]

The hate on female body types PERIOD is heavy on here. I've seen the bashing of all types. Not just skinny. I'm starting to think that it doesn't matter what your size is, someone will always hate you for it. And that's sad.

[Blue_Brady]

@CHARismatic110 for the money. This is too true.

[CHARismatic110]

And @asker you posted a question about skinny girl hate yet you're praising everyone on here who makes you feel good by putting other body sizes down. Pot, meet kettle. #icantstandahypocrite

[CHARismatic110]

@Blue_Brady thanks.

[Genie23]

It's all about everyone. Some like skinny girls, sone prefers curvy girls. Some lile chubby.

I get compliments me in real life. But some of my friends think I need to gain weight.
I tried to... but it's difficult. I'm naturally slim. I hated it, but now I'm okay with my body. Lol

[Genie23]

All about preferance*
damn. Lol

[Esplorare]

I honestly think it's just because skinner females have had an advantage for decades which can make some bigger girls genuinely bitter. It seems like it makes some bigger, more thick females feel better to tell themselves that skinner girls look "gross" or are not considered as attractive.

[LonelyLillie13]

no one has lived for decades to deserve to have revenge we are all here at this moment in time, there is no reason to put others down, men have their preferences and neither slim or curvy appeal to 100% of them so get over the hate and just be happy and supportive that is beauty.

[Esplorare]

@LonelyLillie13 Life isn't as simple and basic as you phrase it in that comment. You can't just negate from someone's personal experience and try and be dismissive of it by saying "men have their preferences". That's no true solution to the problem.

[LonelyLillie13]

and trashing slim women is?

[LonelyLillie13]

be healthy and your good enough is what i believe

[Esplorare]

@LonelyLillie13 I didn't say all that. You are being defensive and putting words in my mouth like you seem to be delivering a message to me that you should be giving to someone else.
I'm skinny with a little waist, thick muscular thighs, and bubbly ass at the same time so I have no reason to be bashing skinny girls. However, I still show empathy and don't dismiss the reason behind bigger girls may act the way they do.

[Esplorare]

While you may believe that, you have to understand that your ideas and beliefs haven't made the journeys for bigger women any less complicated.

[LonelyLillie13]

i have a bubbly ass too not sure why that is relevant here, but whatever. and great glad you understand.

[Esplorare]

@LonelyLillie13 It was relevant because your tone became highly defensive and slightly overly-sensitive as if I was a bigger girl who condones the bashing of skinner females. So I felt it was necessary to clarify that I am not and I have the best of both worlds therefore I have no reason to encourage bashing either group.

[Esplorare]

@LonelyLillie13 You should show more empathy and not try to relate everything back to your own personal perspectives and ideas on the topic.

[tenrec]

I've seen beautifull skinny girls, beautifull athtletic girls and beautifull fat girls. Its not one or the other.

I think they get some hate, because skinny grils are praised by the media a most guys jeje. So maybe this create insecurities and jealosy in other girls.

[TimesNewRoman]

Its because society is trying to push the "Fat is sexy" agenda because its getting to hard to be fit now.. and we should all just accept how are bodies are now blah blah blahhhhhh... Well not really to hard, but society is getting lazier and lazier, so it just feels much harder to get fit lol. Dont even worry about it.. People are mad at skinny people because they are fat. So what.. Rock your body, be happy.

[Xylem]

Skinny girls are hella hot!

"I'm curvy" means = "I'm a fatass but i still want you to like me"

[Asker]

Marry me, dude!

[Consultant]

strong upvote for strong truth

[muspelhem_5]

Maybe it's because the skinny ideal has been promoted for so long, and now that things are changing, people have turned on skinny women.

It's just a messed-up monoculture. Diversity is good :)

[Anonymous]

some people hate on fat girls, some people hate on full girls, some people hate on skinny girls, some people hate on girls with boobs, asses and tiny waists... everyone gets hate. you're not singled out. everybody gets shit for the way they look, the only difference is that you have the media catering to your self-esteem

[crystalt70]

And, all I see is people putting down bigger girls on this thread. I mean, y'all sure are being hateful. I think the body shaming in all areas needs to stop. We are all who we are. If you don't like the way someone looks, then don't look. This is why everyone is so insecure.

[RichardTX]

I NEVER will find a skinny girl attractive. The way I see it... Why would I pick the walking stick over the CURVY (Not FAT) girl with a well proportioned shape? It would make no sense to go with someone that has not body of any sort.

[RationalMale]

Lol, fat bitches be jealous of the girls who are getting the male attention.

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...145861c15c.jpg

lol strong upvote for strong truth

[LilWeezey]

Fat bitches jealous of skinny bitches
Skinny bitches jealous of fat bitches

Errryone be jealous

[bubble_tea]

They do? Doesn't everyone like @lumos and @girlseatgirls bodies?

[GirlsEatGirls]

Nope, definitely not.

[lumos]

Not at all. People constantly tell me that I'm too thin, that I should eat a burger, that I'm a skinny bitch and that it's gross how visible my bones are.

[bubble_tea]

@GirlsEatGirls :O I don't believe you. Your downvote won't change my mind xD

[hypno-trip]

I like their bodies well enough lol

[bubble_tea]

@lumos The fuck? You got tons of upvotes in that one body pic I saw you posting. Were they girls or guys who did that? If they were guys, they must be the same guys who hate 'feminist shit' and deemed you too feminist.

[lumos]

And tons of downvotes too. And people messaging me asking if I'm ok, or if I have anorexia.

[bubble_tea]

@lumos o_O I really think they're just jealous that they can never look like you or they can never get a girl that looks like you.

[lumos]

Does it matter why they do it? I still get hate for it and people still judge me harshly for it.

[GirlsEatGirls]

didn't downvote you :(

But yes, i always get told when at the table that i should eat more, it will only do good,

[bubble_tea]

@lumos I just said it in hope you don't take it to heart, because it stems from jealousy. Sometimes it softens the blow when you know the reason behind their actions. But I get that it's still hurtful.

[lumos]

For me it doesn't soften the blow at all, no. I'm not flattered by other people's jealousy, since jealousy is a vicious feeling :/

[bubble_tea]

@lumos Well, some people might feel flattered by other people's jealousy, but I only feel pity for them. Their hearts are so black that nobody can endure their presence long-term.

@GirlsEatGirls Hmmm, if it can make you feel a little better, getting told the opposite is not exactly nice either. I get backhanded 'compliments' like 'I've never seen a girl eat like you (pig)' or 'Half the girls I know don't even eat HALF as much as you (pig)' :/

[Watermelonoma]

ehh i haven't noticed this. most skinny girlss are praised

[thewanderingme]

you haven't been paying attention then. it's a daily thing.

[lumos]

There's this girl on instagram called kristineullebo. Go check out the comment section on every single one of her pics, then come back here and tell me what you think.

[Watermelonoma]

@thewanderingme

for every anti anti-skinny girl post on here, there's probably 2 to 3 pro-skinny girl/anti-fat girl posts.

@lumos

I thought we were just talking about gag?

[thewanderingme]

no there isn't.

[lumos]

Oh. I thought you meant in general for some reason, even tho asker said on gag. My bad :p

[Watermelonoma]

@thewanderingme

if you say so

@lumos

no worries =)

[bryon]

I don't agree , more people down "fat girls " here in my opinion than skinny girls

[Watermelonoma]

precisely

[Blue_Brady]

Strongly agree! I agree with all my might.

[iluvbunnies]

Many girls are self conscious about themselves and it makes them feel better to talk shit about girls they are jealous of, simple as that.
