LOL! Thanks grmps. Normally I would troll a bitch if she’s gonna be a snob and thinks I’m beneath her, done it plenty of times. It’s different with this chick. We’re actually good friends and she’s a cool chick, I just thought why not, I’ll give it a whirl and hit on her, lets see how she reacts.
Sorry to beat a dead horse but how is it different with her if she hits you with the same bullshit line she would give a cripple in a wheelchair? She can’t be that cool or that good of a friend if she doesn’t think enough of you to give you an honest reply.
Sorry. I think I’m taking this harder than you did. YOU JUST CAN’T LET HER GET AWAY WITH SOME SHIT LIKE THAT!! [mad] That stupid bitch!!! she ruined our fucking lives!!! lol
alright, I’m better now [;)]
All the best to you![:p]

Beautiful people don’t get sacked Unless it’s for a raise (Badoom Chee) They will find a reason to fire an ugly person. Hell they’ll make up rules just to fire ugly people.
“ClapClap Everybody gather 'round. I’ve got an announcement!! effective immediately, new office rules, you’re no longer able to be this percentage over your BMI cause you’re a health risk and we don’t want to have our image tarnished by hiring people that live unhealthy life styles… Um, Fat girl with bad haircut and stink problem… Yeah, I’m gonna need to see you in my office.”
You don’t know how right you are. Her “ugly” co-worker (whom I had the pleasure of meeting and wasn’t really even that fat or that ugly - just a bit chubby and plain) got the sack when they merged two offices into one. No other reason than “oh we’re down grading. yeah sorry about that. good luck with your job hunting”.
It pisses me off to think bitches like my ex find getting through life so easy. Minimal effort. People fall over themselves to help her because she is tanned and blonde, works out and looks great in a tight office skirt. She’d find a new (better) job tomorrow if she lost her current one today.
And she will shit over any one she likes and everybody else in the room will always side with her.
It’s not BMI discrimination - a body builder has a high BMI, despite having little body fat.
I can certainly see the fat discrimination happening in a gym, retail sales, and in a court room where image sells because physically attractive people are perceived by others to be more intelligent and friendlier than average to non-attractive people.
I’m average looking, average weight (not plus size). I have a large rack and long, dark hair. My sister is blonde and athletically thin. She started dying her hair dark because people were more respectful to her.
You are right; for the most part, I would not notice such things at work because almost everyone I have contact with has a technical discipline masters or Ph.D. degree (math, science, or engineering). The vast majority were hired because of what they know/their leadership skills and not solely due to what they look like.
However, I had a former manager in Houston who hired a chick because he needed some eye candy. She was given advancement opportunities that others were not, despite her attempts to fill in the crossword puzzle every day at work instead of working. She knew she was hot, she knew she could get by with minimal effort and still get paid, and she banged every guy she could. She would also tease the boss with stories of her various adventures at the local strip club with her hot friend and make him guess how many people she had banged.
Well, I gave a silly example but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s getting to that point. I would see that shit go on all around me when I worked at fast food joints. The worst offender being In N Out burger. The next one was when I was a lifeguard/Supervisor for the now defunct Lake Dolores. Then I had it even more cemented in certain sociology classes when they talked about/showed some specific Social tests that were run based on beauty and smart.
It was comical cause the majority of my professors kept wanting to talk about injustice with racism and shit like that and I would always bring up how beautiful people get perks no matter what color they are. But nobody wanted to talk about that. Racism is for hicks living in the past. The beauty standard is where the new discrimination standard is at now. Beauty and wealth are leading the way for injustice.

My nose has literally been running like a faucet for the past 24 hours.
Benadryl and Advil with pseudoephedrine are like placebos. They do absolutely nothing. I’m just sitting around the house with Kleenax shoved up my nostrils, changing them out every few minutes when they got soaked with mucus.

Michigan! Who knew meritocracy was alive and well in that place?

Hardly. The golden children still get ahead regardless. There’s just a dearth of hotties where I work - engineering. Now go over to the building where the marketing and sales folks are, that’s the land of hotties.[/reply]
Oh! Sorry to hear that.
I bought this obscure jazz record just because I thought the cover was badass. It’s hanging on my office wall between Laibach’s “Life Is Life” 12" and Man or Astroman’s “Project Infinity” album.
