His Girlfriend’s Friend Made A Rude Comment About His Weight, So He Clapped Back And Brought Up Her Poor Financial Situation, And He’s Refusing To Apologize For It
This 29-year-old man recently went to a music event with his girlfriend and their larger friend group. One of his girlfriend’s friends, a 25-year-old woman named Fiona, was there as well.
For some context, he is six feet tall and weighs about 230 pounds. According to him, he’s on the “heavy side,” which is especially noticeable in his midsection.
Fiona, on the other hand, is a very skinny woman who also has been struggling financially.
“A combination of family poverty and also she has [made] some bad decisions over the years,” he explained.
Anyway, while at the music event, he was drinking a couple of beers. Then, he and the rest of the group started to check out the food vendors.
While looking around, he noticed there was a stand selling sausages and bacon. At that point, he made a remark about how good the food looked and smelled and said he was considering purchasing some of the bacon.
Well, Fiona then turned, looked at him, and loudly body-shamed him in front of their entire group.
“If I looked like you, I would probably skip the bacon and have a salad or something,” she said.
This comment struck a chord with him, too, and he didn’t hesitate to clap back at Fiona – telling her, “At least I can afford to feed myself in contrary to your starving.”

Now, right after that, some people in his friend group started chuckling or even downright laughing. Fiona, on the other hand, became super quiet and proceeded to give him an attitude for the rest of the night.
The following day, his girlfriend also told him that Fiona was really hurt by his comment. So, she suggested that he apologize, given the fact that Fiona’s in a “fairly delicate personal situation.”
“But I refused and said that if she can’t take ‘offensive’ comments, then she should refrain from making them herself,” he vented.
Still, he can’t help but wonder if clapping back at his girlfriend’s friend and refusing to apologize for it really does make him a jerk.
Do you agree that Fiona shouldn’t dish out rude remarks if she can’t handle them herself? Did he have a right to stick up for himself? What would you have done in his shoes?
