As kind of a friendly roast of sorts would you let either a friend or your partner call you fat jokingly? as in you'd just laugh or still be friends with them and/or stay with your partner? you wouldn't get upset or mad about it.Include a caption for your imagInclude a caption for your image…
Yeah its just a friendly jab, no harm done
I'd be ok with a friend doing that but not my partner
I'd be ok with my partner doing that but not my friend
No i would not let anyone get away with calling me fat as a joke
I mean I know I'm fat, so they'd just be telling me the truth...🤣
Kidding aside, I bust my butt working out almost every single day to look and be in shape, so if someone, even a close friend said that? They're going to get a fat lip.
Or better still, I'm going to call them fat too and see how they like it! LOL. That's not petty, that's called fighting fire with fire!
Absolutely not. It’s one thing to put someone down for their size. It’s completely another when it’s someone my partner knows. Not okay. Why is big fat such a bad thing anything? What if people want to be 300lbs living their best life? It should never be about weight.
Well, I don’t know about “let” its not as if they would ask for permission. But calling anyone “fat” is a horrible thing to do, regardless of their weight! I mean, I’m sure that there is a lot more to a person than merely their body size. Maybe find. Something about that person which is special? Perhaps they have a beautiful singing voice, maybe they are a talented artist, or play a musical instrument beautifully? Just maybe they are kind, caring, and generous with their time as a friend, and would do anything for someone they cared about? Their is just SO much that adds to the complexity and beauty of human beings. If their body size is the only thing a person can see… maybe they are just not looking hard enough? Maybe the person with the problem, is the one calling the other FAT? Also, I was under the impression that body-shaming was something that we just don’t tolerate anymore? Either way, my answer is no! Neither would I call someone fat, nor tolerate someone doing it to me, or anyone else in my presence!
It would be a joke to me since I don't believe I am fat. 50% of the time someone says they are joking, they actually mean it. Tbh a joke is only a joke if it's not true. Like what were they joking about? It's all too easy to insult others by disguising it as a joke. And if you don't take it as a joke then you're sensitive and don't have a sense of humor. It's dumb and only serves to hurt their feelings. Makes you an ass in my book.
Yeah, I am not fat, but my friends and partners, family... have called me things just to be funny, to tease and even to mock. I consider this a very normal thing to do. It doesn't bother me.
Some other people have done it thinking they could offend me, but I still don't mind it.
No!. Why? I wouldn't accept a joke about my physical look whatsoever. I am actually short, if I put it this way, and he joked it in front of my partner, then I will want to break his nose. Jokes like that intend to fuck up our self esteem. And doing it in front of their friend who is my partner is a real direct offense to me.
Depends on how they say it. Most of the times when someone makes a joke I don't like I just act like I didn't hear it and continue. But if they're constantly doing it, or doing in social settings or making very hurtful ones; I'll first tell them to stop and if they don't I walk away.

Yes, I totally loved the fat jokes other kids threw at me as a kid, as long as they were creative and funny. I knew I was fat so simply calling me that wasn't much of an insult to me, it was pointing out a fact. But I always loved a witty joke, even if it was at my expense. I just happened to be the easiest target (no pun intended lol). I'm not fat anymore but I still use many of the nicknames I received back then.
Yeah, me and my friends like roasting each other :D But partner, I don't know. I heard women like to say stuff they mean through jokes, when it's smth not very nice. So I'd figure she really means it.
No I wouldn't put up with it, be constructive not destructive with your words,& if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all, it's not rocket science ✌️
I have no problem with someone calling me fat. Truth is, I work out several hours a week and there is very little fat on me. Oh and I can also take a joke.
If you clearly aren’t fat then there’s no harm in being called fat only an anorexic person would take that to heart. I’m literally an athlete and I get called fat all the time it doesn’t matter
I am not fat at all so shrugs. Also if i was i wouldn't take this as insult, more a wake up call to make myself not anymore and just thank them for there honesty.
All my friends and co-workers brave enough give me jabs about being overweight, being the oldest in the group, and generally being an outsider not from New England. All good fun because I get them back, each in their unique way.
