I know this is not a new concept for overweight women, but either more men are being jerks to me or I just started to notice that they are being jerks.
What do you do when you get openly mocked/rejected or being overweight?
Just this week, I was out at a bar with two friends, both very thin, and we were all talking to a couple of guys. There was no flirting, I didn't even hint in any way that I was interested and I actually wasn't. But they were hitting on my friends, one of whom is a lesbian and the other married, and when they went to the bathroom, the guys started giggling with each other and then told me that they were gay together and they weren't interested in me, while one guy pulls out his phone with a background picture of a half-naked supermodel.
Then they started to basically openly mock me and trying to get me understand I had no chance because I was fat. I interrupted and said: "Let me make it clear that I am not interested in either of you anyway because while you don't necessarily come off as gay, whatever it is that you are doing to repel women is working beautifully." I then paid by tab and left, and had my friends follow me out. They laughed awkwardly at me as I left and I just said, "You have no class."
So while I think I actually dealt with it just fine outwardly, I can't help it that stuff like that gets to me. I have started to go out less and less because of people treating me like this. And I am honestly not even that big! It wouldn't excuse the behavior if I were, but people are honestly treating me like I'm 500 pounds.
It's really depressing...
