You have something that she doesn't have, and it makes her jealous. People usually don't go after people like that unless jealousy is involved somehow. She is lacking in something....maybe you're in a relationship & she isn't, maybe you're in a better place financially, or maybe she is jealous of a certain personality trait that you have and she doesn't. Next time she makes a comment like this, don't give her the satisfaction of getting upset...but don't lower yourself and insult her back with juvenille digs. That is what she's expecting you to do, so you'll know she'll have plenty of combacks ready. Instead, I would just say, "Why don't you grow up. We're not in high school anymore." Saying something like this will make her feel extremely immature and stupid... If she keeps going, walk away and just laugh. You will come off as the bigger person, she'll look like a fool....which is exactly what she is.</p> This woman is obviously threatened by you.

I think attitude is tied to character. And most of the time you really don't change your attitude, you just decide to hide it, e.g. you're friendly to your boss even if you think he's an asshole.<br /><br />So Fish's snarky outburst leaves the impression of 'I don't like your character, Mel' and this deserves a forceful answer. But ok, I'm a male foreigner so what do I know about what US women may find insulting? Made this faux pas several times and still don't understand why women are so thin skinned about their weight...<br /><br />:)</p> “Why don’t you lose that attitude, Mel?”

And its only human to have your feelings hurt over something like that, it's bullshit. ::Sigh:: but you'll be alright, and if you ever feel the need to be mean and a little immature back, just say, "I may be heavier than you, but I could lose this weight and you'd still be ugly!" Ha!</p> The plain and simple truth is, people will say things they know run a risk of hurting you because that gives them the upper hand in the situation; and quite frankly, that’s a sad way of associating with people, but there will always be people like that.
