Brian, I still don't think that I should pay more than you for luggage because the weight of my luggage and myself is less than your overall weight. I'm not judging by fat, thin, muscular, etc. I'm judging by overall weight. that is the main issue with baggage; it should also be the same with people. I'm really tired of people turning something that simple into an issue of fit vs. obese because that's not the issue at all. I'm not here to talk about body-image sensitivity.
I don't like being seated next to the fat, smelly person either. I'm 5'2", size 4, and I bathe on a regular basis. I also try to look presentable because I hate being caught by surprise with some random meet-and-greet or dinner.
