The other night an evening created on the mere existence of a loser pompous man, led to the most glorious taco experience ever; and THAT my Disaboom friends, is the BEST consolation prize that can ever be conceived when you find yourself in such a shitty predicament.
Being the good girlfriend I try to be, I attended a comedy show produced by a guy my friend was interested in. She met him on Craigslist. He enthusiastically invited her to his Monday night video show, and so my friend invited me along as company (as it wasn't an official date). The WHOLE night was weird, and worst of all, it was the guy's entire fault. He was fat, uglier than John Candy, and ignored her the entire night, except at the end, just to say a meager, muuuuch too late to make up for being an ass, "Hello."
What the hell in wrong with some guys? Does anyone know? I felt so bad for her. She's cute, stylish, artsy, interesting, well-educated, CAN COOK, loves sports and going out and having a good time....and the *only* thing about her that might not be in her favor, is her weight. She's about 40lbs overweight. Tell me guys, is that really a make or break deal? She's 29 and PERFECT.
So anyways, after the lame comedy gig, we went to Little Tijuana's (T's), Minneapolis' "it-place" for punk rockers with late night Mexican cravings. It's greasy, cheap, and fantastic. And even though I've resided in this town for over 10 yrs, I've NEVER heard of it. Seriously...am I that out of the loop?. So there we sat, grubbing over perfectly fried flour hard shell beef tacos and chicken quesadillas with loads of fresh guac. All of this was much better (including the bubbly root beer we split) than that pompous guy we left back at the club.
I told her she could do WAY better than that fugly creep, and we soon forgot about him.

Fat and ugly doesn't bother me, but rudeness? Gimmee a taco any day!
Agreed with deafmom! And, is she letting her weight hold her back from going for great guys, thinking she can only get old fat pompous jerks? If so, that's more her problem than the weight itself. I know lots of very fat women who have very happy loving boyfriends/husbands. It's not a make or break unless you make it one.
i think her self-esteem isnt the best. her husband of 6 yrs cheated on her in '04 and they divorced quickly thereafter. he was her HS sweetheart.
T, you can't have it both ways. Your blog illustrates your own prejudices against fat men. What makes fat people think they should be given a pass anyway? Because "it's not their fault"? Whose fault is it? And who do they look to for companionship? Other fatties? No, of course not. They don't want someone who looks disgusting either but they ain't willing to do the work themselves. They know it takes discipline and a sense of personal responsibility to get in and stay in shape. Fat people wear their emotional problems for all to see. Your friend only has to lose forty pounds? It won't happen in a week however it easily can in twelve. She has to grow up and make the commitment for it to happen, but that's the real crux of the matter isn't it?. Sorry to be so blunt but the solution is pretty obvious. The Emperor has no clothes.
