It is NEVER a compliment to someone when you say "That person would be so attractive IF...."
Think before you offer up a compliment to a fat person that has strings attached. Society already tells us we're worthless pieces of shit. If for some reason a person of size has healthy self esteem or self worth, please know that much of the time it is fragile. Why is it fragile? Because we airbrush size 8 models into oblivion. Fuck all of it.
To each his/her own in the aesthetics department - due respect given as we all have our preferences. But know that it is perhaps one of the most hurtful, disrespectful, backhanded compliments a person like me can receive. There are no "buts" in being beautiful unless you're talking about my fantastic XL ass.
I coined Miss Such a Pretty Face over 10 years ago, in my 20s when fat acceptance wasn't a thing.
Be kind, be genuine, be real - give feedback that matters.
Don't be an asshole.
Love - Miss Such a Pretty Face
