It's tough to stay thin enough to fit through a scuttle for 20 years.

But it's a bad idea in the long run as the not-fat market will become a smaller and smaller niche and eventually be devoured entirely by the fat market.

Im chill with fat ladies but i dont understand why i have to want to gently caress em? if you wanna feel sexy and stuff go ahead. I dunno i read that tumblr post "10 reasons why you must find me loving attractive" and she said she gets triggered when men arent turned on by her supergenius superfat transethnic multiple systems headmatestuff. But then i think that hey, some people are turned on by fats too, so whats the problem? and if im drunk enough id have sex with a fatty anyway. but of course i would romantically disregard a fat bae for a thinner one which is probably pretty bad, but at the same time i was pretty fat myself and no girl would touch me. some would talk to me and even worse, some women would feel good about themselves when they talked to me, like they gave me some time of day and that would make me happy. I dont go around screaming that women are shallow because they wouldnt gently caress me when i was fat, i was fat, and i was terrible at taking care of myself, i didnt eat properly or wash properly or anything.

but i dont like fat shaming either, because that leads to stuff like eating disorders among women (and men), which is like a billion times worse than being fat. being unhealthy isnt good. but you shouldnt be ridiculed for it. fat women are women too, but i dont think excess fat is attractive, so i wont like treat you worse i just wont flirt or be attracted i guess? whats the problemo?

I know it's not the same, but a sense of humour, for example, is seen as important in a man, but do I really think it would benefit me - as a man of average comedy ability - to criticise professional comedians for setting unrealistic standards of comedy, and to then record a bunch of lovely, cringe-worthy jokes in protest? Wouldn't that just get more people to judge me according to my unfunniness?

Yep. I find it fascinating that since "equality" has become such a huge issue these people feel like they have a safe platform with which to complain and seek validation for things they either have no control over or can change themselves. It's almost like they're creating excuses so that they may continue being fat and gross.

Yeah really, imagine just doing your goon job when some fatass rolls in, says "Oh so you think only you can do your job!?" Then puts on your clothes and rub themselves all over your monitors and poo poo and then rolls back out.

I actually think the suits were good choices for all the body types. No one was falling out anywhere, and the big girls weren't in string bikinis. Nope they aren't models (the gal with just her back to us is cute) but the suits are appropriate.

Certain women look good with a little chub because of fat ratio across their body. Some guys do too. However, fat people are gross and stop trying to force me to find you attractive with Jedi mind tricks and skinny shaming blogs.

I can understand the logic of a stunt like this - that women are disproportionately judged according to their appearance rather than any other personal qualities, and that this isn't okay - ]

why is this not ok? am I allowed to judge someone on how they act, or is that not ok? or how smart they are? you have very little say in how literally smart you are yet its used a metric every single day to make or break decisions about someone. if im not allowed to say that the fat person in a swimsuit is less attractive than the model in the same swimsuit i think you need to check yoself

Honestly that's pretty flattering on her.

I was gonna say maybe she should stand with her legs farther apart so as not to have that weird flesh press but then I realized she's already doing that.

It's rare for advertising to call women names either. For both genders marketing tends to show an image of an attractive person wearing the company's clothes, with no attached message beyond our clothes look attractive on this person, you're unlikely to see anything that actually says if you don't look like this person you look like poo poo. That message is something that is perceived and that is where the gender difference lies, alongside differences in generalised anxiety, body anxiety, and sensitivity to perceived conformity pressures. The source of those internal differences is up for debate, but not on the internet where debating it will get you straight lynched.

Fierce is a good word to start using to describe physical appearance because it implies aggression, like their appearance is an assault.
