Say if you are in a restaurant and there is like a wildly fat person (not like just fat, but like a hippo with no signs of a chin/neck/jawline) sitting next to you, will it put you completely off your food and make you feel ill.

It does me

[King Gizzard]

not really, they just love their food, good on 'em

[Saph]

My brother used to work in a restaurant and they got told to be extra nice to fat people as they're more likely to buy more

[CharlieO]

Ok so it is just me then... :/

[Josy]

Nope, I don't like to judge.

I dont, but watched a prog this week where people had to be winched from buildings and were more of a splat than a person. Why would you do that to yourself? It is a mental health issue and more should be done to prevent them getting to that stage.

I don't think I am judging that person, I do not feel they should change themselves or anything (probably glandular anyway). But I just involuntarily feel ill.

Well I guess it is actually subconscious judgement. But I can't help it.

If that person has an illness that makes it difficult for them to maintain a healthy weight and they see you looking disgusted/ill because of them they will feel really bad about themselves.

I don't like to think badly of people's appearance anyway because I don't know anything about them.

I do not make it obvious, that is mean and like bullying. It offends me that you would insinuate me doing that in a direct way, but I can't easily help the way I feel so...

But anyone who says they don't judge people on appearance is lying. It is a natural thing to do and we cannot prevent it. We were given eyes so we could judge things.

Nope, I don't usually judge people by how they look/eat. o.o

[Kizzy]

i dont hate you because you're fat, you're fat because i hate you.

[King Gizzard]

And it offends me that you just called me a liar, I know for a fact I don't judge people on appearance, just because you do doesnt mean everyone else does, maybe you will grow out of it who knows

That's so good for you. I lost like 15kg of puppy weight over the last 4 months. But I think I am too skinny now.

Fat people don't, but people eating with their mouth open does.

Humans naturally form opinions based on the initial impression of someone, which is usually looks. I am not saying you let that impression over ride other positive features in a person. But is a natural response and no human can control it.

Oh and by the way Josy, for a moderator who warns me about baiting, you really do not set a good example.

[Josy]

I'm baiting because I have an opinion that differs from yours? why even bother making a thread like this if you get all defensive when someone disagrees with you?

I can control my judgement and I do not judge people by how they look, just because you judge people how they look, and probably had a look at wikipedia, it doesn't mean you can speak for other people.

Also, I think Josy has every right to question someone who calls her a liar.

[Kizzy]

To be fair it is natural to judge on appearance, everyone does it, it contributes to our first impression of a person.
