Why is it that people that are super into working out have an adversion to overweight people?

Is it insecurity? I've had multiple guy friends make similar statements that they hate fat people or they're glad they don't live in the south cuz there's fat people everywhere haha or I'll just say something and their response is "are they fat?"
Fatphobic,probably project their own fears about their bodies onto others that look like what they might perceive themselves to be and all the negative connotations that come along. The only thing I dislike is feederism or profiting off of an addiction like many feeders feedees do. But I cant hate the feedees as there are usually complex emotional factors behind it. I hate those enabling it

Aversion? Hmmmmm....maybe it's because they haven't quite 'got it' that being of a 'healthy' weight means that they can do things that they want to, physically, and reduce their risk of illness and injury....

I've seen many people that have lost weight become kind of hateful to overweight people

Being healthy is a choice. Not all thin people are healthy.

Not all fat people are unhealthy.

But, the odds don’t lie.

I don’t hate lazy and unhealthy people.

But I don’t have sympathy for them either and I really don’t like sitting next to fat people on a bus, plane, etc

@JoeyFoxx why you don't like sitting next to them?

@SW-User because they crowd my personal space

@JoeyFoxx would be good if they need it to pay for two spaces or sits if nessesary so they would be comfortable and the other person as well
idk, maybe they just see it as being unhealthy.

If you live anywhere in the U.S you are surrounded by fat people, and may be one yourself (although I know you are not). Hard to argue with the data.

Probably because they see themselves as successful for putting in all the work... and fat people as the not successful people.

Because they are superior.
