do you judge others by their size?

I disagree. We can claim many things as reality but the truth is that the world does judge us on out tiniest flaw in order to have an edge on us. Even you admit that you tease your friend on their flaw of being smaller than you. One day that abuse will spring back at you and you will one friend less.

Beauty forms from the heart.Outer size or physical aspect should never matter in friendship...Only the SIZE of the heart and soul should only matter...

No, I rarely judge others by their personal appearances. I usually judge on their behavior and by what comes out of their mouth. Sometimes, though, I might be concerned about someone if they are struggling with health problems because of their size or diet.

It's not the size of a person's body that counts, it's what's inside it! Even the smallest person can have an enormous heart, so I agree that size doesn't matter. The body is but a mere shell, which houses the person within, my friend. Brightest Blessings.

I am sure you think you have good intentions toward your friend. Unfortunately I think you deceive yourself into thinking your not judging your friend. I hear judgment just in your statement that I quote "in spite of her being small, I still choose her to be my friend". Do you hear the I am better then you attitude in there? I feel so sure you don't mean to have that attitude but you still need to consider that maybe you do. I feel like I can speak to this because I was one of those people that had many jokers in my life in the name of love and acceptance. I would hear things like 'you know I am just kidding, you know I love you and wouldn't say these things if I meant them, I can say these things because I am your friend and you know I am just joking with you' and etc and etc. Will on days when I had been secretly hurting from sharp words or condescending jokes from others the only cut more to the core when a friend or family member offered up one of there jokes of the same type of words to comfort me or to reassure me I was okay the way I was. All your doing in your joking is reinforcing to her that she doesn’t really fit ,is unacceptably different just not as good as the rest. The truth is there is no room for joking when it comes to the sensitive and hurtful areas of a friend. A friend/families job is to give each other a safe place to be where they feel totally and completely accepted and not a place to have more reminders of their short comings as we all have short comings one way or another and no one needs their loved ones rubbing it in their face/heart. I really don’t mean to come of harsh. I only want to give you something to think about. It is all about all of us learning about our selves and becoming better human beings. Not sure we can arrive but we can all try. Right?

I agree with you i don't tease anybody who is smaller in size nor who is extra ordinarily big I respect all people. They are creation of God. You can see God through his creations so we should respect all of his creations.

I find any sort of judementalism and intolerance as a very bad thing! Some heaviness may be in a person's genes.. Another thing people don't realize is the great number of people who suffered abuse in their childhood, and how becoming a bigger person is a psychological response to that.. if you're bigger, perhaps you won't be so easily abused is the psyche of it.. Besides, as you've said, all of us have faults, some much more grievous than being overweight.. Yet this fault or flaw is easily seen.. Also it is often an economic thing.. whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits all cost more than say hot dogs and boxed macaroni and cheese, etc.

no, never... for me, big or small people are all God's creations and we shouldn't look down or insult each other... by doing so, we are indirectly insulting God, the Creator, and it is a sin... so i make friends with everybody regardless of their size, skin colour, religion, etc... i don't have a prejudice towards anybody...

Sure I do. I back off immediately if the person confronting me happen to be much bigger than me. LOL. If he is of smaller size, I would fight back. However, I do not select my friends based on the size. The bigger they are, it makes me appear a size smaller. If they are smaller, I would be proud to be the leader in the group.

no,i don't.my friend is a person,not a number. i'd never turn my back on somebody because they gained or lost weight,that's just ridiculous.

Definitely not. I believe judging a person by his or her size is rude and nasty. A person may be fat or too small but exudes a brilliant mind, have a golden heart. I believe we are not in the right position to judge them because as you said, we all have our imperfections. As they say, do not judge the book by its cover. =)

no. it's not in the appearance. for me, it does not matter if you're tall or petite, white, black, brown or yellow. more often than not, a good personality outshines any outer beauty. you can never gauge a person through her appearance or for her imperfections. imperfections can easily be covered by cosmetics but personality is hard to fake and hard to hide.

No i think the size is not important, i judge people because of their answer to certain questions.

hi,i agree wid u

of course not. why would i do that? and how can we tell a peson's personality by their size? of course that can't even tell them their eating habits are... i mean many suffer from weight problems too because of their health and not because of other things. it is really unfair to be judge by our appearance, that is only part of something in us that we are not even given a chance to choose.

I don't judge by size. I'm not a small person myself, in fact, but today's beauty standards, I'm sure many people would call me fat. Heck, sometimes I even consider myself fat, but I by no means hold the same standard to other people that society holds to me. I don't see what the big deal is. It's just a person that happens to be of a bigger body build than other people.

beauty is not only seen by the eyes but also felt by the heart. i have all kinds of friends from small and tall, fat and thin, and even lesbians and gays and i am happy to have them as friends. when i am at work and they are around i make of them but that okay for them because they know me.... they know its a joke they know me that much.

There is slight judgment by everyone for the most part, and for a few others they judge in higher degrees in this subject. We overcome this in our own ways, typically by getting to know the other people and removing the thin(or thick) layers of sophomoric and shallow perception. I also noticed this while reading the responses and seeing other discussions from the past, along with other experiences. People seem to judge on the physical less in friendships, but when it comes to relationships/potential-relationships it can be a different story (height requirements for example).

Hi I judge the others by their personalities not size and i think this is the suitable measure for anybody

of course not.everyone should be respected whatever their size is....
