Answers:
really well there properly just jealous, im a guy and i like skinny girls, and i hate fat cows
i dont kno i gues its better to be skinny then fat
being a fat *** is never good
I think they are about the same, I don't feel comfortable talking about anyone's size. But I don't have that problem because I'm not fat or skinny. I'm sorry for you.
Yes lol I hate it, that's why I'm trying to bulk up like crazy this summer.
u cant call a person fat the proper term is fluffy
Since when is it okay to tell someone they look like an anorexic aids patient?
Because ur so skinny you have no body. u look like aboy!
i do.. my friends used to always say i was skinny and stuff and i'd eat so much junk food i didn't understand how i could stay skinny lol, i personally think it's rude to say someones skinny or fat... i mean shouldn't it not matter?
i dont care of someone calls me fat. I know that i am just hard for me to loose weight because i have thyroid problems and PCOS. but if someone calls u skinny call them fat. if it hurts their feelings tell them that them calling u skinny hurts urs they should stop.
You should ask whoever is telling you this to see how they feel if they called them too fat or don't have an hourglass shape or anyhting like that.
I agree that it shouldn't be okay to say that. I will say though, that considering the amount of abuse that fat people go through, it's not surprising there's a little of the opposite happening. It's only life balancing itself.
i think someday it'll be ok to call someone fat. We just need to get over ourselves and call each other what we are. It's not that big of deal i don't know why people make it that way. One day calling someone fat will be acceptable as calling them skinny.
It is annoying to have people always commenting on ur body. I have the same problem. I guess people would rather be super skinny than fat.
because America doesn't make fun of skinny people. America want Americans to believe the skinny is best. Fat people on the other hand, have you ever heard of a skinny person looked over for a promotion or turned down for a job all together? Think about it.
Maybe they think they're paying you a complement since skinny is considered pretty in much of the world. It never bugged me to be called skinny.

One of my classmates is from Nepal and she told me that when she first came to the US she tried to pay a professor a compliment by telling him he's really fat and asking if his family is all fat like him.
are you kidding me i have that same problem. everyone always thinks i am way to skinny and always says. oh your way to skinny. but yah being called skinny is rude to though. even though i would rather be skinny then fat. even though i think i am fat but everyone tells me i am NOT FAT.
people are weak they can't take it.
well to u question how come its ok to call people too skinny but its not ok to call people fat??
im guessing the answer to this now is that society and media have been obsessing over being skinny and everybody wants to be skinny so by saying ur skinny is like a "compliment" while calling someone fat is like an "insult" and can make some peope feel horrible about them selves even if they look like they're close to bei anorexic.
its just people's mentality, i know you're annoyed when people tell you your skinny, but most of the time its considered a compliment to them. its more likely that they are jealous of the fact that YOU ARE skinny. afterall today's society sees thin as the "in" thing.
Because in general, people who are too skinny can't help it, but people who are too fat can help it.
i guess it because people rater be skinny than fat.
same problem...

my sister is skinny and im the chubby one. we have both realized that it is not cool or okay to call one another skinny or toothpick or cow or fatty. both suck.
i know in most asian cultures, it's an insult to be called skinny, as if you're saying they aren't well. it's just backwards in this country. in other cultures--being big or fat is a sign of wealth--( because you can afford to fatten yourself up.)
i've always had a problem gaining weight so i totally get what you're saying. people who say that to you have no idea how frustrating it can be to eat and eat and not gaing weight when you need and want to! i started telling people it was the brain power that was eating it all up and keeping me thin. ha
Number one it is not OK for someone to tell someone else they are to skinny. Just as it is not OK to tell someone they are to fat. Both are an insult. Please people let us be just a little kinder to one another. It is not what a person looks like on the outside, but what is in the inside that counts.
I used to have that same problem when I was younger. I know, it can get really annoying. I'm also kind of short, so for awhile I couldn't fit into adult clothes even and had to shop in the kids section. It was kind of frustrating. Also, even if people say you're too skinny, don't worry about gaining weight (unless like your doctor tells you to or something), what most people don't realize is that too skinny people have a lot of the same problems/issues as overwieght people (hard to find clothes that fit right, getting teased/made fun of, etc...). However, there's more overwieght people than skinny people, so society is usually nicer to and more aware of them. Plus, sometimes when people sya things like that theyre just jealous, becase a lot of people want to lose weight and be skinnier, and not that many want to gain wieght.
Better tell them that you are not comfortable when they say you are skinny. I have this friend that got angry also when she was told she was skinny probably because has parasites in her tummy. May be you feel that same way too. Tell then afront.
being too skinny can be a compliment, being fat is an insult to their greed
I have the same problem. I can eat and eat but I stay super skinny. I am 5'5 and weigh 100 lbs. I hate how everyone is like skinny people are all anorexic, it is annoying. I know my metabolism is fast, but I would also like to gain like 10 lbs. Im glad someone else feels the same way I do.
Fat people get really jealous of skinny people and they try to do and say nasty things to hurt your feelings. They know it's wrong. They just don't care. They don't even care about their own bodies, ou can't expect them to care about your feelings. Just ignore them; they're miserable.
It's our society and Political correctness. The P.C. has become out of control.
