That's real and it's stupid. Technically, the plurality of Americans live in suburbs. Roughly 1/3 Americans live in cities. Which is pretty important if anyone is going to talk about big city/small town values. You can combine the worst of both and house it in cheap, transient tract housing! boner confessor fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Feb 11, 2014 |

No, they're all huddled around Seattle and they resent leftist political dominance while still being hypocritically disdainful of flyover country. Really the only thing that dictates whether a state is red or blue is the comparative ratio of core urban population and surrounding suburban population.

Oh come on guys, she seems perfectly charming if not for her repugnant worldview (and we're talking about the conservative dating scene so hey, that's off the table to begin with). I mean more heavy-set Republican guys marry lithe young pharmaceutical lobbyists all the time. Are you telling me it doesn't work the other way around?

Being discriminated against because of racism is still wrong, but then they kinda knew what they were getting into and I have a hard time feeling bad for them when they choose to align themselves with the side that has a history of oppressing anyone who isn't a wealthy white male. Plus she's the female version of the slovenly goon who refuses to take care of himself but expects a supermodel because he's smart. Like I'm betting she has plenty of dating options she won't even consider because they don't meet the deluded standard of attractiveness she feels she deserves. It's less that she's fat and more that she's just kind of an all-around ugly person from her looks to her beliefs.

Then make fun of the opinions and weird superiority-visage she exerts and not the physical appearance that plenty of people with low self-esteem already have despite being the kind of person you post with all the time and enjoy talking to? Remember when you mock her appearance you're also hurting all the people who are the same size as her, plenty of which are the same minorities you're hating on this women for ignoring due to her arrogance.beatlegs posted:Also she's not caucasian, long blonde hair, slim w/ firm perky tits - the ideal female constantly served up by conservative media to it's captive male audience.

You're better than this. You can think she's a piece of poo poo, you can think she's unattractive, but posting the photo you did, which was entirely focusing on her weight, is lovely. You don't have to be attracted to fat people or chubby people or even 'filled-out' or 'meat-on-their-bones' people, but if you're claiming to not be the very dittohead who's the subject of this thread, you should at least try your hand at not judging people on their appearance at the slightest provocation. Chris Christie is fat, no-one good cares. This woman is fat, no-one good cares. Leave your judgements to your internal thought processes or get your arse into YLLS and make Shine proud.

/\/\/\/\ Her solution is sunglasses? It's not a flattering photo, but her opinions are worse than her looks could ever be so I guess there's that? It's silly to pretend that looks never enter into other people's perceptions unless they bring them up, but there's nothing like a stranger's photo on the internet to bring up lots of unfortunate invective that could probably gently caress with your head in a big way if you were sensitive to it.

Because she's a right-wing rear end in a top hat who doesn't even realise her own privileges in the current system. Frankly the idea of being interested in such a person is alien to me, but you're here, in this thread, acting like that despite those dealbreakers, the literal one reason she's undateable is due to her being over the average waistband. Are you going to pretend to me that you're dying to date Ann Coulter or S. E. Cupp or any of these right-wing peeps?

No, not interested, for obvious reasons, for purely superficial reasons. If we make the assumption that both body weight and political leanings are influenced by social exposures and societal pressure it stands to reason that either would have an element that is at least partially beyond our control without self recognition. So, if either state is a result of at least a margin of predisposition, what justifies judging one more harshly than the other? Also given that both traits, body weight and political leaning are completely within the control of the individual despite predispositions to either, what makes it ok to call someones opinions detestable but off limits to comment on their personal caretaking? Especially when one of the core tenets of the outspoken position of the individual in question is personal responsibility? SedanChair posted:Her solution is to dress in a manner tantamount to a balding man purchasing a Corvette. Palin doesn't have any political substance to fall back on, can you imagine how horrifying it must be to know your entire brand is built on your appearance and accent and to wake up in the morning with new wrinkles?

Is there an image macro contrasting all of the attractive Democrat men with all of the fuggo Republican men? Because it would be nice to see something countering their stupid bullshit and objectifying men at the same time.

The craziest Washingtonians I've run into have been Bremertonians ("gut the government, gently caress the poor, but don't you dare touch my vet benefits"). I got my undergraduate degree in Spokane, and while I met my fair share of fundies and Paulites there, they were at least less brazenly hypocritical.

Scarborough is less a host than the ringmaster of a terrible morning show circus. There are segments where they have seven or eight people on at once and it's just crosstalk with the occasional "aren't I just a card" dismissive comment toward Mika and lots of Starbucks product placement. Since nobody has apparently ever watched all three hours of Morning Joe, I should point out that many mornings, most of the 8:00-8:30 segment is just the 6:00-6:30 segment repeated. Not that they rehash those topics, it's replayed. The only difference is that the little "Live" graphic on the top banner is gone. If he runs, he'll probably end up on Fox News afterward. MSNBC will replace him with someone worse, somehow, because god forbid that a morning show actually discuss news in a serious, respectful manner.

If a by all account horrible human being (by virtue of posting on Breitbart, running CPAC etc.) is talking about dating and relationships of course her looks matter, no different than a fedora laden UberGoon wondering aloud why the ladies don't seem to want to come over to see his Magic Card collection or sponge on a stick. In spite of what Tumblr may tell you, looks do matter when it comes to mating so in this case a photo seems pretty germane. I will agree with you on one point though, no one good does care since she's self selecting Republican Men. skaboomizzy posted:

Good things might happen then. quote:The Census Bureau's urban areas represent densely developed territory and encompass residential, commercial, and other nonresidential urban land uses. The Census Bureau identifies two types of urban areas: “urbanized areas” of 50,000 or more people and “urban clusters” of at least 2,500 and less than 50,000 people. “Rural” encompasses all population, housing and territory not included within an urban area.
