As have I, and to say some peoples character changes may well be accurate, but to say everyones character would change is a massive and inaccurate genralisation.

This stereotype of "physically unattractive people having to develop their personalities more then an attractive person as they cannot rely on their looks" is complete and utter nonsense and has no scientific backup behind it whatsoever

You cannot dismiss an argument as its based on an assumption and then make your own assumption to back up your own point

He's backed off now as he realises everything he says is contridicting itself.

Making digs at someones weight is WRONG

FACT.

Taking every point literally is a bit daft. I am at work, I writing on a forum... I obviously can't dedicate as much time as you seem to have on your hands making sure the literalists don't jump all over me.

Josie is fat because she overeats and does not exercise. She has no one to blame but herself. If she was THAT bothered, she'd do something about it and she'd feel better about herself. If she list weight she would feel better about herself and we wouldn't all have to creep around say "oh actually she looks great for a big girl" incase we upset you.

I'm at work also, and you don't need to dedicate time to an issue to discover logic. Nobody is jumping all over you, but your argument that a change in her physical appearance would lead to a change in her character is simply flawed and I think you know it too.
