Fats will scatter like cockroaches if I workout near them, so I think you're on to something. I have also noted that my friend who has been growing in size since 2013 has been avoiding me more and more. I once asked her to join me at the beach and she claimed she was busy. Turned out being busy was going out to eat with the cast and crew from SeaWorld. She works with tons of chinners, fucking elephant-sized, some even with their own gravitational pull. The result of this is she continues to pork up, but I'm certain she doesn't realize it because she's still the 'smaller fat.' It's getting to the point where I'm not going to be able to hang out with her anymore, because I'm feeling very uncomfortable and grossed out by her ever-increasing fat percentage and dimensions. I find it hard to make eye contact at this point as she transitions from a her to an it.
