"I Think You Need To Exercise More" ... "WHAT?"
I'M JOKING!!! RELAX!!!
That's right! Those jokes that you tell which don't really turn out to be as funny as you think, and leave you feeling like a piece of shit. "Sorry" sometimes just doesn't cut it.
I joke around a lot, and on many occasions I don't think about what I say before it comes out. I've heard about the "you're fat and need to go exercise" joke quite a few times, and yes, some girls don't take it very well and can possibly come chasing after you with a knife, but others take it lightly to the heart and laugh it off.
Has your SO (or friend I guess) ever made a joke that was obviously not funny, but they thought it was a good laugh until you gave them the death stare, or vice versa? How did it all go down in the end?

"Yeah, I see you cowarding because you knew I was ready to punch you in the face."
"Get your fat ass over here."
"Quit being a lazy bitch and get your ass down here and help me!" (as he was stuck under a truck because he was so set on fixing it himself on the side of the road instead of getting help.)
"Now you're just being pathetic."
"I pretty much can't do anything I like anymore because I gave it all up to be with you."
T_T <-- my face when I remember that most of these weren't jokes.
hahahh. my boyfriend has done that a few times.
i just give him the look like -_- and he knows he's in trouble.
guys can be so dumb sometimes..
@JaydenWolf@xanga - please tell me you are not still with this guy...
@wonderchica22@xanga - No way! These comments were actually from three separate exes. I really knew how to pick 'em back in the day!
Pretty much, the title of this post. Been there, done that, gotten the ill-advised t-shirt.
I just hate the double standard when women joke with their boyfriends, and then when the man retaliates with a witty remark, the woman gets angry and feels hurt and gives their man the silent treatment, and then makes some crappy excuse like "he should know how I feel about [whatever he joked about]." Wtf...
@KasumiCelesta@xanga - you make a good point.
@JaydenWolf@xanga - Those are not very nice at all!
Except for the last one..
@JaydenWolf@xanga - Well, THANK GOD the past is in the past. Geez, I was worried.
One time, I saw my roommate in the stairwell of the library and she practically yells to me, in front of all the friends she was with and the other ten people on the stairs, "Hey, it's Erin! And she's wearing the same clothes as yesterday!" First of all, it wasn't even true (it was just a similarly colored shirt) and secondly, even if it had been true, it was still incredibly rude to yell something like that in front of so many people - I was so embarrassed. I was pissed about it for days - even after she apologized. Oh well.
Well anyone who knows me -- knows that I'm a workout freak and I act like a drill sergeant all the time. So myself calling them "fat" is actually expected and is never taken seriously. ~_~
Hubby doesn't make jokes like that nor does he make comments that might offend me.
I've been with guys that called me fat and/or that my thighs didn't touch but they were still too close together. I was probably 30 lbs thinner than I am now. Unfortunately, they were serious and not joking.
Haha! My ex Pete has started calling me "Buddha Belly" and says "Tummy!" whenever he sees me. Then he either pokes it or plays with my belly button because I've put on a few pounds recently. I laugh, but after, say, 4 or 5 times, I usually poke him back or start talking about his man boobs and liver spots.
@anonymouslifestory@xanga - Uh, can you stop being scared and stand up for yourself? Please?
yeah he wasnt joking... when guys say they were, it just makes it worse..
lucky me the most important guy in my life always made me feel good about myself!! lol. :)
mm now back to the drawing board....
@JaydenWolf@xanga - Those really don't seem like jokes....
All of these that I've read all seem terrible. And like things my ex would say to me. There's a reason he's an ex. He was also good at thinking of the most hurtful thing he could during a fight, and saying it the first chance he got.
My current boyfriend would never do anything like that. He constantly tells me how I'm beautiful, irreplaceable, perfect to him. He would never make a 'joke' like these. He does everything he can to boost my confidence, not destroy it.
His kind of joking is telling me how lame I am for liking the Vashta Nerada episode of Doctor Who, more than the Weeping Angels episode.
And now that I know that's how a relationship should be - if this one ever ended - I would never tolerate it again, and I don't think anyone should. If someone claims to love you, and then their way of joking is tearing you apart - joke or not - I don't see much love there.
I'm overweight. I always have been, and so I've always been self-conscious about it. My first ex used to call me "Belly" and tease me about my weight. He didn't stop until after we broke up.
He was kind of a jerk. I still don't think he gets why it was such a mean thing to do.

my ex was really sensitive so when i used to joke about things to him, it would usually hurt his feelings instead.
my friends are nice to me. it is my own family whom criticizes my appearance and I am nowhere near fat and I don't think they were joking either. tough love is what they do best
mostly the older generation like my grandma calls me fat
lol compared to asian pop stars, I'm considered fat but my friends and people who I went to school with often said I looked too skinny.
haha, my guy friends used to joke about it with me all the time.. that is, until i told them i work out 28 hours a week. they went from :D to O_O
One time I was saying that I didn't get why girls dressed so slutty sometimes and my ex said "You would dress like that if you could." He didn't mean to sound like that, but it made me feel horribly ugly.
