Something I have noticed. - GoFuckYourself.com

Having attended a fairly wide assortment of shows I have really come to notice that there really is not that many really fat people that attend who are also webmasters. I have met a good deal of webmasters who even post here and most are from average to fairly built. So really what is behind this general stereotype?

I am guessing it is just an easy argument word for the uninformed akin to the McDonald's one. Oddly most stereotypes fit because it is typically indeed the average, but in this case damn people are way off.

I know damn well there are some overweight webmasters, there always is going to be some overweight people in any profession though. So please leave your saved GFY picture folder alone and leave the minority out of this.

Now could someone tell me is it because often assorted webmasters have access to and like food and speak about it or is it because we truly are dealing with a shitload more newb nobodies than I thought who just like to latch onto possible self projections of themselves?

Oh and to those that indeed tease themselves more power to you. This is just about the general stereotype.

Obviously there are a ton of n00bs that think they can make a name for themselves by attempting to put down those more successful, experienced and better looking than they will ever be.

I guess the number is just much larger than I figured.
Oh and I would be one of the first to say I am way uglier than most will ever be, aside from my eyes maybe.
Not everything comes with success, well I guess it could if one wanted to go under the knife but fuck that. I would rather be deformed looking.

yeap ... stereotypes make my balls itch........but I have to agree with the thoughts posted so far........being fat is not an average look for webmasters.....

maybe the fat webmasters are too lazy(or too fat) and stay at home and eat instead...that would make sense

That does not match up with the known webmasters on even GFY who do attend. Seriously a large number of the known or even made fun of webmasters attend these shows and the stats just do not justify the remarks.

Chalk 1 more up to same reasons. Though I know nobody is going to admit self projection.
