Hola mate

Here is your answer -

The number one, “you have such a pretty face, if only you would lose that weight”……,,…. to women that is the ultimate insult!!!! I remember in high school (I am small now but close to thin then) when two of the football jocks came up to me and one said “you know if you gained ten pounds you would be perfect” and they walked off laughing their heads off. I was devastated, I was involved in gymnastics and dance so I was actually muscular and weighed more than It appeared. But to a teenage girl to be criticized in front of my friends was so humiliating. I know how bad it hurts both ways and would never make a comment about someones’ size No one is perfect in everyone’s eyes and there are many reasons we are all the size we are. That’s like making a comment to a guy that we need him for a certain job because we need a short person who can fit in a certain space. What a backhanded comment. We know he feels self-conscious about his height but to point it out in front of a group of his peers is just rude. Some people just never think before opening their mouth and could care less. I had a boss many years ago who in today’s time would have so many charges of sexual misconduct against him, he loved making lewd and inappropriate comments about the women in our office. Luckily I was never one of his targets but so many were. The odd part is how protective he was of our staff, if anyone else had made those comments he would have lost it. But those rules didn’t apply to him. I have yet to figure that one out!!!! Those are my pet peeves. I just don’t understand the pleasure people get out of hurting a persons feelings.
