As a fellow who's discussed girls with fellow fellows in the privacy of social gatherings and elsewhere, one thing I dislike is how people's tastes are suddenly so subject to change all depending on context. It happens with other things, sure, but I find this particular phenomenon particularly irking because it insults actual people.

See, if what Dude A, Dude B and Dude C say in private is to be believed, then they have absolutely no problem with heavier women, and kind of like them. Dude C even says he used to have a thing for Adele ("used to" as in "before that one album where she was much thinner than usual"). Except, in Health class one day, when we were watching a documentary about (of all fucking things) eating disorders, A, B, and C felt inclined to (out loud) express how gross it was with "ugh" "ew" and other such grunts after plus-sized models were shown. (Most of which were ironically Adele-sized)

Now, I can understand that the Dudes may feel the need to hide their preferences, since liking big ladies isn't something guys normally do. But seriously? Do you really need to express your faux disgust at this, especially after a whole section on Anorexia that played out more like a horror movie than an educational film?

Now, there were girls in the room who could've heard that, (Two of which I know to be very insecure about their appearance) and had they not been quietly whispering in our back corner of the room, they could have done some serious damage. Hell, there were some girls there that were probably their type who would have considered them off the table, dating-wise, because obviously they think chubby is gross.

And for what, really? This is Wisconsin. In the [i]winter[/i]. In a high school with about 4 gay couples out and proud and another guy who'll be quick to add in that he's a lightcore masochist, and even an out-of-the-closet Brony,(And I mean [i]that[/i] kind of Brony) because why the hell not? Nobody gives them any honest-to-god shit about their sexualities, so don't they trust Dude D and Dude E to be bros about it? I mean, sure, they might get a little well-intentioned ribbing here and there, and they'd probably be okay with that, given that I've been harassing them in a tongue-in-cheek manner about everything for years now, and that's kinda their sense of humor anyway.

I dunno. I guess I can see why they'd still be kinda iffy about saying that, but honestly, I feel like they maybe wouldn't be so potentially hurtful to some people [i]and they maybe wouldn't have to complain every other day about not having a girlfriend[/i] if they let those walls come down. Sheesh.
