Why do skinny people think they re fat?
As a culture, we equate thin with beautiful and fat with ugly. I think its easier to say, I look fat instead of man I just look ugly today. Besides celebrities and a select few lucky folks, the demand of our forty hour + work weeks and commutes and everything else leaves everybody with little time to do much about the way they look. So the easiest route to go with is ugly, its accepted as a bad thing universally, so it covers everything from panty lines, dark circles under the eyes to too many beers on the weekend. If everyone had time for hair and makeup, sleep, or what ever the extra oomph to look better would be, I doubt anyone would be worried about looking “fat.” It sucks that fat is the word, cause its a different thing all together.
