The Fat Girls Guide to People Watching

A Fat Girls night out is complete with a trip to a large public place such as a bus station, airport, or central booking for any metropolitan police department.

Why?

Simple. Fat Girls love to people watch. The best things in life are free, and that includes snooping.

A true Fat Girl takes people watching to the next level. It's not enough to look at them; we must grade them.

Thus.

The Fat Girls guide to People Watching

1: The elusive 1 rating means you need an AMAZING sense of humor and all of George Clooney's charm just to make it through a day, and sex is probably out of the picture. Because of beer, these people do not exist.

2: Still sad, but not a 1, so they at least have that going for them.

3: This is rough, but they can have fulfilling lives. A LOT of people fall into this category. When you really start looking, it's startling.

4: Alright, now we're getting somewhere. A 4 has experienced a great deal of trauma from being made fun of, they may not be rocket scientists, but they are very nice people. Except the one's who think they are 10s when they're really 4s. Those people are just bitches.

5: You're normal. Average. No one is going to point you out in the crowd for being amazing or shield their children from your DNA. The trademark of a 5 is one or two excellent attributes (such as a really great ass or amazing hair) that, when combined with everything else, makes you think, "man, that ass is as as out of place as Paris Hilton in church."

6: Just above average. Overall, you're good. When in a group someone will notice your physical appearance and suggest, without alcohol, that they would, "do you".

7: This is where most people aspire to land. You're a good looking person and, even if you're overwheight or struggling with a physical ailment (such as acne or an oddly placed birthmark) people will still describe you as attractive. Jobs are a little easier to get, but you still had better be smart.

8: You always dreamed of moving to Los Angeles/New York/Las Vegas/Miami to break into acting/theatre/dancing/modeling. You could probably make a career out of it, but you need to lose 10 lbs, start smoking, and don't ever admit to those pictures you took "for your boyfriend". Or you could just live on reality tv.

9: Wow. You're a celebrity. You may not be on People's List every year, but you've made it. If somehow you did not make it to Hollywood, you are probably living in a nice home, driving a nice SUV, and you're a member of an elite church. Most people hate you, and you probably hate yourself. Eating disorders are a common side effect.

10: Reserved for George Clooney, Angelina Jolie's lips, and that one woman you saw topless on a trip to Jamaica/Bali/French Rivera when you were in college.

With that scale in mind, it is important to recognize dating protocol to maintain balance in your relationships:

1s - 5s should only date 2 steps above or below them. For example: a 4 can date a 2 or a 6. A 5 could go from a 3 all the way up to a 7 . 1's should just buy stock in beer companies.

6's can only date 4-7. 8s are just a little too ambitious.

7s can only date 6-8. Let's face it, 9s are out of their league.

8s can only date 7 -9. Their low-level careers are delicately balanced and cannot afford an ugly partner, and their precarious position could damage someone too high.

9s can date an 8 (but only with a great personality) or a 10.

10s can date a 9 (to show other 10s they can keep it real) or another 10.

Keep these scales in mind when sitting in the park/looking for a date/checking out match.com.

Fat Girls Guide to Small Dick Syndrome

A phenomenon many Fat Girls will encounter in their lifetimes is one I refer to as "Small Dick Syndrome". This typically is an issue with men although it can afflict women.

Small Dick Syndrome (SDS) is a disease that causes an individual to belittle or otherwise demene another person in order to make themselves feel superior. It can also result in the purchase of crotch rockets, sports cars, hair implants, cosmetic surgery, and/or steroids.

When confronted with SDS, a true Fat Girl usually cannot keep her mouth shut for long. While respectful and able to eat a great deal of shit in order to keep the peace (Fat Girls always try to keep the peace), eventually the need to put someone in their place will overwhelm their senses.

Commonly used phrases to sink an SDS ship include:

"Is there a small dick in here or is it just you?"

"I don't care how fast your car is, it ain't gonna make your dick grow."

and everyone's favorite:

"You're not fooling anyone with that fake ass hair, you dickless wonder."


When confronting a female exhibiting the signs of SDS, a Fat Girl has to get creative.

"Honey, I don't know who confused you, but your dick isn't small, it just doesn't exist."

or

"Excuse me, did you forget you vagina today, sweetheart?"


Bear in mind, all Fat Girls will eventually say something about SDS. It may come out to the individual or it may come out during a one-upmanship of storytelling during a girls night out event at a local bar, but it will come out.

A Fat Girl will never be quiet for long.

The Fat Girls Guide to Post-Break-Up

Let's face it. Fat Girls tend to be a handful. We're mouthy, outrageous, and quite frankly, intimidating.

With that in mind, it's important that we recognize the rules of post-break-up.

1. According to a recent fat-girl-to-fat-girl conversation, once you break up you should give the relationship a set period of time before you officially move on (i.e. change your myspace page).
This time frame can be established using Fat Girls Math:

x= Length of relationship (converted into hours)
y=time it takes to finish off a gallon of ice cream
z= how long you wait
x + y * .10 / 3 = z
For Example:
1(365X24) year + 2 hours * .10 / 3 = 292 hours
z= 12 days
2. Beware of rebound relationships. Rebound relationships are usually where people get Herpes.
3. Unless you are a hipster or a preteen/teen, do not use your myspace page as the place to "get back" at your ex.
4. Don't wait on someone who doesn't want to change the way things were. You broke up for a reason. If someone can't handle a Fat Girl, you gotta move on.
5. Do not destroy any of your ex's personal property. This can be considered destruction of property. Prison doesn't make jumpsuits big enough for a Fat Girl.

Fat Girls Guide: Why We Hate Domestic Violence, part 1

Fat Girls always believe in speaking their mind. They often do so with a sprinking of swear words and follow it up with excessive ice cream.

Alec Baldwin is NOT a Fat Girl.

While we may all love Alec on 30 Rock, the following is an example of his abusive behavior.

Those who abuse want control. They decide the time, the place, and what will happen. When anyone gets in the way of that, they have lost control and will do what they feel is necessary to regain the power.

Alec Baldwin left this message for his DAUGHTER. Not his wife, which while still completely abusive and inappropriate would still be between adults. No, this is left for his pre-teen daughter.

You see, people, Fat Girls hate domestic violence. We abhor anyone trying to take away someone's power and make them afraid. Fat Girls hate fear.

Fat Girls empower.

Of course, more will come on domestic violence in the Fat Girls Guide, but this is such a blatant example that it was a good way to introduce the uninformed to the issue of domestic violence.

Below is the message transcript:



"Hey I wanna tell you something, okay? and I want to leave a message for you right now cause again it's 10:30 here in New York on a Wednesday and once again I've made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone to call you at a specific time. When the time comes for me to make the phone call, I stop whatever I'm doing and I go and I make that phone call at 11 o'clock at morning in New York and, if you don't pick up the phone, at 10 o'clock at night and you don't even have the god damned phone turned on. I want you to know something, okay? I'm tired of playing this game with you. I'm leaving this message with you to tell you, you have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old or 11 years old or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone. And when I come out there next week, I'm gonna fly out there for the day just to straighten you out on this issue. I'm going to let you know just how disappointed in you I am and how angry I am with you that you've done this to me again. You've made mefeel like shit and you've made me feel like a fool over and over and over again and this crap you pull on me with this god damned phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother, and you do it to me constantly and over and over again. I'm going to get on a plane, and I'm going to come out there for the day and I'm going to straighten your ass out when I see you, do you understand me? I'm going to really make sure you get it, then I'm going to get on a plane, turn around and come home. So you better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me so I can let you know just how I feel about what a rotten little pig you really are. You are a rude, thoughtless little pig, okay?"

What the Hell? A Fat Girl's Guide to the Fat Girls Guide

Welcome to the Fat Girls Guide!

Once the shock and awe of the very idea of a Fat Girls Guide has worn off, let me explain to you just what The Fat Girls Guide is.

Fat Girls do things differently. It's just the way things are. Their way isn't better or worse, although it is usually funnier, louder, and sweatier.

I believe that more people should do things the Fat Girls way, and so I'm writing a blog to help people understand just how to bring out their inner (or outer!) Fat Girl.


Before we go any further, I should define a fat girl.

Fat /fat/ Girl /girl/: n. 1. A female human who's weight and attitude is considered larger than the norm (currently considered over a size 2). 2. A female human having experienced emotional torment during prepubescent development (regardless of size), 3. Some small-waisted women with a bitchy attitude, 4. Some men, 5. Anyone who compulsively eats Ice Cream.


Understand?

No?

Here's a few tips for spotting the not-so-elusive Fat Girl:

* Need to "put you in your place" when you make a dumbass comment
* Unnecessary to excessive use of foul/off color language
* Strong opinions
* Righteous indignation
* Desire to stand out in a crowd
* Lack of concern over exposure of flesh normally covered by clothing
* Above average intelligence
* Razor sharp whit
* Excellence in bed
* Low number of previous romantic relationships due to high intimidation factor
* Excessive need for ice cream


Fat Girls are everywhere. They tend to be in charge, and they tend to keep you in your place.

Ever wonder how to do something? Let The Fat Girls Guide tell you how it's done.
