Why is everyone obsessed with their weight?

Because in my opinion in America fat equals ugly. No one wants to be ugly.

Weight is not just a number. Personally I'm tired of 3/4 of Americans being fat and ugly, this diminishes my quality of life. But the answer to your question is because most everyone quit smoking.

The problem of todays world is that nobody is happy.

Girls want someone to tell them something positive. If you are a genius, nobody can see it. If yo are good at tennis, nobody can know it by just looking at you .

The easiest way to get positive attention is to be good looking in terms of looks, figure, clothes, car you drive, brand of clothes, etc.

That explains why girls dont dress respectably anymore, all competing with other girls for a mans attention.

First it was the skirts that were getting higher, now that they short enough to show a guy everything, the attention has moved to the girls top. Now designed to show as much cleavage as possible.

A girls looks are everything nowadays.She can be as stupid as a pot, but will get a guys attention cos of her looks.

My experience says this isn't a girl/guy thing (as others are indicating). In the states most people are overweight and other countries are quickly following suit. Truly more people *should* be concerned about it. Being obese leads to more serious and even less aesthetically appealing health problems. Shouldn't we be concerned about our health?

its called good marketing. have you seen the commercial for extenze the penis pill lol. capitalizing off of people's insecurities is good money. look at all the money they make off of blacks for their hair and weave products. plastic surgery for asian women that want white eyes. white women constantly getting face lifts all the time. people are evil and will basically do what they can to make a buck including destroying your soul and self image.

Apparently not, I mean, look at all of the fat nasty jelly roll people. they don't care..so ....i wouldn't want a nasty partner who is fat and can't see their privates without a mirror..whould you?

Why is everyone obsessed with themselves, is a better question.
