I have seen dozens of these threads on here and it is always about Women...the photos they put on are overweight women never men. No I have never been bullied for being overweight but I have been bullied for being poor as a child and having red hair. Every reason for bullying is wrong and just plain evil. Please don't tell me it is all equal between Men and Women on looks.
I wonder do people even begin to think what is it like to be the one who gains easy. Your friends all eat cake and donuts and you never touch them, you eat salad and get fat and they get steak and potatoes...this is how my friend lived her whole life and she was not lazy but always large. She never ate sweets, no coffee, no alcohol I spent 7 weeks with her traveling and she did all the hikes...why was she fat her whole life...in order not to be she would need one small meal a day or non stop exercise.
He was being shamed for his preference.

So if an overweight person doesn't attract you. Then they don't attract you. Don't beat yourself up over it.

All these heavy WOMEN insulters I would bet a million that every one of them would make a romantic date with Oprah or some large rich woman or famous person, even if she has rarely been under 200 lbs.
You rarely hear people insulting fat men, they are not expected to wear high heals and paint their face to be accepted by society either. So we can add a sexest point to the whole thing.

No he was being shamed for stating in a derogatory way, to a friend, that her friend was non desirable to him.
People care about their friends, why would anyone say something like that about your friend...all he had to do is say, no he was not interested in her even though he was clearly enjoying her company, he was not attracted physically.
Easy so EASY not to be cruel.

It has nothing to do with political correctness. It's fine that you aren't attracted to fat people. No one can help who they are attracted to. Your friend said you were being unkind, you were... you seem to be under the impression that you can be a jerk and everyone should accept that.

There is one thing I see fairly frequently is people mistaking calls for tactfulness as calls for being PC. This particular thread is a good example of that.
political correctness (PC), term used to refer to language that seems intended to give the least amount of offense
tactfulness, noun, the ability to deal with others in touchy situations without offending them
