If there is one virtual world in which all negativity seems to gather, it's facebook. Usually I just ignore angry fb rants, but something caught my eye the other day.
One of my BEST friends, who has suffered from obesity for most of her life, posted the following:
"I see those commercials about dancers (I'm assuming the flirty girl fitness commercials) and I personally think it's unattractive. I mean, I would want a REAL woman; not one who is fake and looking for attention. These women are just nasty. Even if I had the body for it, I wouldn't do it."
Yes, I was offended, but very much prepared to just brush it off. But I did mention to her over the phone that I didn't appreciate her comment.
She says, "I'm sorry, but you were much more beautiful before. If you have to take your clothes off for sleazy men to feel good about yourself, you have a problem."
.................REALLY?! She continues to rant and claim I'm a step away from being strung out and hooking.
I have friends and family who aren't fond of me dancing, but none of them have actually insulted me until now.
This is a girl who I've known since my childhood. She should know me better than to lump me into
the "stripper stereotype." Which, btw, is bullshit in itself, but that's another point entirely.
I could be wrong, because I do have a big ego, but it sounds like she's just a fat envious bitch who wishes she had the body to dance.
Still sucks though.

I find this is especially true with women and anything having to do with your body. People who "don't care about such petty matters like looks" always look down on those who put on a little makeup in the morning... they think they're "better" because they're not associated with tying any of their worth to looks... they just tie it all to being sanctimonious.
