it would seem as if that means that she likes black men...


p.s., Joie, since I am genetically programmed to like big girls, I am requesting that you drop out of the beach body contest, and gain 500 lbs so that I will find you attractive enough to date. you look disgusting now.

You stated anecdotes, not facts.

6/27/2010 6:27:26 PM

anecdotes?

i am pretty sure "black guys like fat women" is not so much an anecdote as much as it is an opinion (which oepii believes to be fact)

6/27/2010 6:59:26 PM

wtf, just bump this when she dies, not when you realize months later that the kids she had with her black husband are

*gasp*

half black

6/27/2010 7:05:51 PM

it is an 'opinion'? how can i have an opinion about it? learn the definition of opinion. yes, i could definitely have an opinion about why that's the case (if it is the case), but how can i opine whether it is true in the first place or not?

so i guess when many black (american, brits, and native africans) guys have told me that they dig fat chicks, i hypnotized them to parrot my 'opinion'?

I am saying that you have no way of proving that ALL black men like fat chicks, or have some genetic disposition to liking them. I don't care that you have talked to black people and asked them if they dig fat chicks. I have talked to black people too, and some of them don't like fat chicks.

Either way, I was just making fun of the guy who doesn't know what the fuck an anecdote is.

6/27/2010 7:23:38 PM

yeah i don't know what an anecdote is... at least i can read!

Motherfucker, you didn't use the word anecdote, I wasn't talking about you.

I still maintain that you cannot prove that there is a disproportionate difference in the number of black guys who dig fat chick as opposed to everyone else. As i believe that it is something that at the very least has not been proven, I called it a fucking opinion.

AND I EVEN CLARIFIED WHY I WAS CALLING IT AN OPINION WHEN I STATED THAT YOU BELIEVED IT TO BE FACT.

6/27/2010 7:34:53 PM

I think moron meant to say anecdotal evidence, and it's a pretty small error on his part.

And I think 0EPII1 be crazy.

There are some parts of the world where being overweight is considered appealing, but it has nothing to do with race, and it still certainly has its limits. If food is scarce, sure, you want a mate who is sturdy enough to survive a drought, but you don't want somebody who is gonna eat up all the grub while you sleep or who can't walk three miles for water...

I think size preference in the US is a fascinating topic, but again, it doesn't have anything to do with race (it can't...race isn't even a real thing). It probably has a lot to do with class again. But more interestingly, it's an act of rebellion: defying what the TV tells you is supposed to be attractive because you don't fit in or don't want to fit in. This could be normal (preferring people on the "thick" side or having little preference at all) or very unusual (exclusively seeking out morbidly obese people as mates) or even secretive (these are the people who aren't gonna confess to 0EPII1 that they like fat asses).

Really fascinating to me are the guys who fully admit they prefer their women to be unreasonably thin: "My wife's neurotic calorie counting and occasional bouts of bulimia are clearly making her unhappy, but she looks good to me!"

6/27/2010 8:06:01 PM

i still maintain you need to learn the definition of opinion.

that is my hypothesis/theory, NOT opinion, moron (i.e., mawle, not the user moron). opinions are about subjective things (beef is yum, ford is yuck, etc).

Where are these men who like bulimic women?

6/27/2010 8:10:48 PM

For fucks sake, will someone just google it and argue about the validity of the studies, or whatever you fucking wanks want to do

Here, I'll start: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1077/is_n9_v49/ai_15518312/

Quote :

" Interestingly, say researchers, fewer Black men than White men view a thin body as the ultimate--or only--standard of beauty. "Though the average Black and Hispanic man prefers a thin woman, research indicates that Black and Hispanic men are more tolerant, more accepting, of larger-size women than White and Asian men," says Dr. David Allison of the Obesity Research Center at Saint Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York. In fact, in his recent study on the ethnic differences in men's preferences for women's body shapes, Dr. Allison found a small but statistically significant difference between ethnicity and preference. "When we analyzed the |personal advertisements' [for romantic partners] men placed in a number of newspapers and magazines, Black and Hispanic men were more likely to request fat women than were White and Asian men," says Dr. Allison. What's more, says Dr. Allison, "Black men more frequently said that weight did not matter." Similarly, in her recent study on the weight-related attitudes of Black women, Dr. Shiriki Kumanyika, an associate professor with the Center for Biostatistics and Epidemiology at Pennsylvania State University's College of Medicine, found a higher tolerance for larger-size figures among both African-American men and women. Specifically, Dr. Kumanyika found that: * Only about half of the overweight Black women in her study who had ever tried to lose weight reported that their boyfriend or husband liked the idea. * Only about one-third--36 percent--of severely overweight women said that their husband or boyfriend even thought they were very overweight. * Although nearly all the overweight women perceived themselves to be so, a substantial number--40 percent--considered their figures to be attractive. "Our findings suggest that the social environment of Black women is less negative about obesity than might be commonly assumed based on data for White women, and that being overweight is not necessarily synonymous with being unattractive," says Dr. Kumanyika, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Bottom line: "Being thin isn't as central to the self-esteem of Black women as it is to White women," says Dr. Kumanyika."

racist studies ---> racist society

6/27/2010 8:26:30 PM

^^^They don't "like" the bulimia, but they prefer a body type where subclinical eating disorders are an eventuality.

^^That doesn't show a genetic predisposition though. There's no study in the world that could prove 0EPII1's "hypothesis" because his theory is based on the false notion of some "black or white/brown predisposition."

In other words, that study has more to do with things tied to our notion of race, not race itself.

6/27/2010 8:29:32 PM

While I agree about the racism thing....
...please don't tell me that you're suggesting the all-too-often heard, "OMG!! There exists at least some men that like bulimic or anorexic women!! Therefore, fat women should be considered attractive. Men must either be attracted to fatties, or they're bulimic/anorexic enablers."

6/27/2010 8:50:11 PM

^No, I didn't mean to imply or suggest any of that. I also wasn't aware that's an "all-too-often heard" thing.

6/27/2010 8:54:40 PM

It has just come to my attention that in the context of this thread, I have the ability to greatly insult females by simply hitting on them.

6/27/2010 8:58:30 PM

^^^^^^

That has way more to do with culture than race. Indy, you're looking for racism where none was intended.

I wonder if the same goes for how likely black women are to be accepting of overweight/obese men. Anecdotally, I see far fewer fat black men than black women. Hell, i'd argue that the number of fat black men is about equal to the number of thin black women I see.

All I know is that when someone suggests that one implies the other, that's racism.
There are cultures that are historically, or predominantly, (or both) made up of individuals with a particular skin pigmentation,
but to suggest that those cultures have anything intrinsically to do with a particular skin pigmentation,
is 100% racist.
Agree?

It's also asinine to ignore the fact that people of the same race more often than not choose to associate primarily with their own race. There are certainly a lot of exceptions, I'm certainly one of them.

1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.

2.a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.




So which of the above doesn't fit my take on what you said qualifies as?

Okay, so it's your opinion. Good talk, bro.
