Would YOU have said something?

[Tooz]

I take a stats class currently at a community college. I'd just finished my test, and I was outside the classroom looking through my bag for my cell phone when I overheard three guys talking about high school. One said his graduating class was small, and there were only eight females. Six were lesbians, and then other two were "fat". The two guys he was talking to groaned.

I didn't say anything. I really regret it.


Would YOU have said something? What would you have said?

[Raqui]

Well I might or might not have. People are allowed there opinons. But If i was a man and decided to say something I would have said Take me to your school i want the Fat Ones!

If they laughed I would have said Hey I like them Chubby Chicks they got big big booties. I am the Big Girl Lover!

I notice that many men will then agree and say OH YEAH or something like
DAMN GO GET THAT!


Men are starting to acknoledge the desire of other guys and realize that they might not a certain package but another man might.



Now if your a woman then I would have said something like. Dont diss the big girls just cause you dont like them. A lot of men do!

[Littleghost]

I probably would've said something along the lines of "Sounds like the girls couldn't wait to get the hell out of that place!" And then waited for them to think it through.

[Renaissance Woman]

"Just because they all turned you down for prom doesn't mean they were ugly or lesbians."

And then I would have walked away while they looked confused for a few seconds.

[D_A_Bunny]

I probably would not have said anything, but if I was feeling sassy I might have said, well, statistics state that one out of three guys actually prefers a larger woman. So which one of you is lying?

I actually do not know of that being a real number, but it would have brought the attention back to them.

[lipmixgirl]

you know... knowing me - i may have rushed them... you know how i rush up to people... and then pounced on them with... i don't know... something like...

"HOW FAT WERE THEY!??!?! can you describe the fat??? fat as me? perhaps smaller??? did you see cellulite??? really, i must insist that you describe the fatties in great detail..."

yeah... i am an a$$...

LOL this made me laugh quite hard. Can I just hire you to follow me around all day?

[Dr. Feelgood]

As a guy, I might have trouble pulling this off, but a woman could just sort of look the guy up and down, shake her head, and say, "I'm surprised they weren't all lesbians."

You know, at least they werent' all excited about lesbians making out and three-somes? Also, people are stupid. Though, it would be priceless if they used air quotes, when they said fat. Next time, kick 'em in the shins or something. Or, ignoring peope also works. Maybe one of them groaned because he likes fat chicks, but god forbid he reveal that (highly unlikely, but I resorted to that technique in high school once or twice).

Well, that's enough posting for the month of June, see you all in July.

Tooz, Was the test your final? If it was not, I have an idea for class. Come up with a statistics problem. Depending on your "nerve" or "teacher's good humor" either pass it around the room before class or read it as a problem in class. My motto is revenge is a dish best served cold. Below is a sample problem. Of course, you will need to be prepared for some critical discussion, some of the answers might not be 100% to your liking, but I guarantee they won't all be to his liking either.

__________________________________________________ _____________

Billy was graduating from high school. His class contained eight girls. Billy has asked all of them out on dates but none of them would go out with Billy for some reason (loser). To save his damaged ego, Billy decides that six of the girls are lesbians. What percentage of Billy's female class has he classified as lesbians? What are the errors in his conclusion? What are his biases?

Billy also states that the other two girls in his class are fat chicks. Billy uses the Olsen twins for a model of a healthy young woman. What percentage of Billy's female class has he classified as fat chicks? What are the errors in his conclusion? What are his biases?

Hahahaha. Well, it wasn't my final, but the guys weren't in my class. That would be funny, though.

[Green Eyed Fairy]

Nah....I most likely wouldn't have.

"Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience."

[olwen]

I would have just rolled my eyes and walked away. Not the kind of comment to waste my time on I guess. Especially if I don't have to deal with them. Now if they were in my class I'd have said something like "Nothing wrong with that? What does it matter if you wouldn't date them anyway? My question is - how many of the guys were loosers?"

Perfection is hard to come by. In my opinion, that statement is perfection.

I probably would not have said something either. I don't think it's worth much effort at all, because you probably would just be pissing into the wind. However, with the above statement and "Just because they all turned you down for prom doesn't mean they were ugly or lesbians." (courtesy of Renaissance Woman), I think you might have done some very, very minor / minuscule damage. Not that you were looking to do [too much] damage..

[Suze]

not worth saying anything, imo. well...something sarcastic would probably be fun.

[moore2me]

Still tho, if the kid was in my stats class, I couldn't resist pointing out that the statistical significance of having 6 out of 8 girls being lesbians in a high school class of girls is highly improbable and the reasoning that lead to this conclusion is obviously flawed. This is what college is all about. Learning why such thinking is not logical. The kid needs to learn this stuff.

Would YOU have said something? What would you have said?

hmm i would have probably inquired as to whether the lesbians were also fat!! lol
hmm..its just another example of taste i guess and i suppose no different were he to have said "all my classmates were male"..
Though i know why you would have been pissed off..its like they were groaning cause ..they couldnt "get" the lesbians and might not "fancy" the fat chicks.. though i suspect they were dicks that no women of any size would want to be with anyway.. so they can go groan away to themselves as they clutch thier lonely pillow at night!!

Good one!!

But, my answer is I probably would not have said anything. I'm afraid of confrontation and can't get my words out when I have to confront someone..so If I was trying to say, for instance "I'm surprised they weren't all lesbians." It would probably come out something like " Hi"...and that's it haha

[Ruffie]

I save my biting tongue for incidents when I or someone else are being directly victimized. As Green Eyed Fairy so eloquently pointed out stupid is hard to fix.

[PrettyKitty]

I'm thinking that at least two of those guys likes the large ladies, just wanted to play it off.
