Obese People Are Stupid

I dunno, I think it's bullshit. But who am I to say this.

I know so many over weight people that are so smart and could damn right outsmart any skinny bastard getting in their face. For me personally, knowing these people, I think your weight has nothing to do with how smart you are. I mean it could be that it's just a disease where you gain weight real quick, and it won't go off as fast. That's how some people get over weight. But... I dunno, about being smarter, I think that's crap.

Just my two cents on it.

Edit:

About the sex, I think that's not really true either. It's about who the person is, not what he looks like. Just 'cause most plastic girls go off saying EWWW about a guy that's over weight, doesn't mean he doesn't have a nice wife sitting at home who he has it going on with. x]

This is just people that are narrow minded that think that. ....And... Sex really isn't everything.

Once again. Just my opinion.

Amen, Kira. And just for the record I think this thread is bullshit and just another way for you to make fun of obese people as I've seen you do before. I'm inclined to delete it.
 
I don't think the implication here is that being fat makes you less attracted to someone. It's more that obesity decreases sexual drive in the centers of the brain that control that biological function. So you generally want to have sex less often because of internal reasons, not external.

That's not the first time I've heard that, and I think there's some validity to it. When Morgan Spurlock did Supersize Me, one of the side effects of his weight gain that he noted about himself was that he had less sexual drive.

Secondarily, this article does not say that an overweight individual at age 20 is any more or less intelligent than an individual in a healthy weight range at the same age. This article states that over time, the effects of being obese or overweight have a significant, stressing impact on the brain. So over the course of time, there is an effect on overall brain function.

Being overweight/obese is physically unhealthy on just about every part of the body. Why should the brain be immune from these effects?

The results, based on brain scans of 94 people in their 70s.

Tough to find overweight/obese people in their 70s. They tend not to live that long.

that's funny. if that's true, then i can't imagine my sexual drive if i lost 30 or 40 pounds. it'd be through the roof.
 
What an inconsiderate thread :mad: Obese people are still human beings. I think when i had my last check up, i was in danger of being obese. Does that make me some kind of sub-human or something? (sub-human...Fire Emblem xD) There is nothing wrong with fat people in general. Society is always trying to find ways to insult people for a number of reasons. Truly Bullshit, imho -_-
 
This study changes the way that I look at people who are overweight, however it's still not right to call anybody stupid. What is stupid anyway, do stupid and smart actually exist? It's hard to say. In my beliefs, smart just means that you make good choices, it has nothing to do with you actually being intelligent.

Though this article does make some sense, it still depends on the person, the individuality of the person, and the choices that the person makes. Many people who are obese, do have the brain power enough to make themselves into the person that they want to be someday. When I was 12 - 15 I was getting pretty chubby myself, but I turned that all around in high-school and slimmed myself down big time by working out and eating right, now I'm a perfectly weighed 21 year old.

I hope if anybody so called "Overweight" is reading this, than you wont be discouraged by the topic, I don't believe the TC was trying to offend anybody, just trying to post an interesting topic, in which I really enjoyed because I learned something new today. If you're overweight, there is always a way and a time to turn it all around.

You're absolutely right, there are way too many narrow minded people out there these days. Nobody on this site of course. But take this under consideration, you could be the ugliest, fattest, most disgusting guy on the planet, and still get the hottest girl friend, OR BOYFRIEND, ever. It's all about attitude. I'll admit at times I turned down a girl by the way she looked, which is horrible of me, because I'm always complaining about girls not giving me a chance, and I'm not a bad looking guy at all, I just have major personality issues with myself right now.
 
Because I feel like it.

I think there's room to debate that there are indeed standards such as "stupid" and "smart", but they are largely defined from person-to-person.

It's just a scientific article...if you want to blame someone, blame Yahoo or the scientists who performed the study. Especially given this thread's location, there's nothing to really get worked up about here.

Hopefully this will be my only serious post here. D:

Personally, I blame the jews, they own all the fast food companies and all off the entertainment industry. Then they can advertise all their products all the time. They use all the non-retained profit to finance the destruction Arabia and create a New World Order.
 
It's also been shown to reduce sexual activity.

Ahaha, no duh. Of course it reduces sexual activity. What's up with Yahoo always posting shite?

Like Ness said above, I blame Yahoo for the study.

haha you're right there, I was getting a bit too serrious there. I was just trying to go out with a bang since it was my first two posts lol.. Ok back on topic. I don't like to blame anybody for anything. It's always better to hear everybodies side of any sittuation, and to respect everyone elses oppinions.

Jewish people do own a large percent of the world, however it's not right to blame ALL Jewish people. I mean, look at Adam Sandler....he obviously doesn't have anything to do with that, but he's still a Jew right? Well I see what you're saying though.

Though, it's more right to say that the Jews own all of the banks in the world, than the fast food and entertainment companies.
