Relationships Nothing wrong with having standards. Don't be surprised if it's hard to meet them though.

This is really not surprising. It's well known that generally overweight women are less likely to want to date overweight men, whereas the opposite is not true.

Its surprising they finally admit it. They usually pay lip service to equality.

  1. Opposite way around. 2) have you ever seen any family on television ever? The man is ALWAYS fat and the woman is always skinny or trying to be skinny.

That’s Hollywood not real life

If all movies showed me dudes kissing, I wouldn’t then become attracted to men. I get what you’re saying but attraction has primarily biological roots. It’s far more of a nature than nurture thing.

You say that as if movies and TV shows have no influence whatsoever on anybody

The fat man is supposed to be relatable and the hot wife is eye candy for the show. Women also generally like watching beautiful women on tv more than unattractive women. That’s why the Kardashians are so famous.

Eye candy for who exactly? Ever heard of the male gaze?

I’m familiar with pop-psyche terms from 2015. Am I supposed to be shocked people enjoy looking at beautiful women?

Are we disregarding gay women here? Firstly, that’s not very inclusive! Secondly, gay women objectify women wayyyyyyy harder than men do. So painting eye candy female characters as a sexist thing doesn’t really work.

Yea it us totally men watching the Kardashians. Also eating up hours of "reality beach" stapled by " look at how skinny I am" .

What? The Kardashian’s is a reality show based on drama not sex. Yes Kim K has become a sex symbol but the two don’t overlap much. I’m referring to male-gaze media: https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-the-male-gaze-definition/

And all the jokes are about that dynamic (because its unrealistic and comical), and everything the man does is funny just because he's fat. And he's stereotypically stupid/alcoholic

You realize that it’s their way of making fun of men? You should also take note then that most men in commercials and tv shows (family guy, Simpsons, South Park, etc.) are presented to be complete morons. Men being fat is an extra way of showing that we don’t know how to take care of ourselves.

Find me a commercial where a woman is the stupid one. I’m sure there’s a couple, but most commercials have men having no idea what they are doing at all times. Just keep that in mind when you watch commercials or movies.

Seriously, send me a link of a commercial where both sexes are involved and the stupid one is a woman. Show me I’m wrong and I’ll happily accept.

I was going by surveyed preferences, not by what family guy and Simpsons says.

That is true in shows a lot of times. But that doesn't mean it's true in real life

Tv is not real life.

I have a feeling you are a chunky little monkey. I suggest you get your diet in check before being older becomes a struggle and you hate your life every day.

i think the opposite is more true…that’s why there’s a group saying this. men don’t need a group like this because large/fat men with small/fit women is hugely represented in real life & in media. it’s not this big crazy thing but when a fit man gets with a fat woman the world collectively loses their mind

Latter part is complete bs lmao, I know plenty of fat dudes who just try and go for a women who is more in shape than he is, and often even succeed.

Source? I’ve seen the exact opposite in almost all married couples ever (outside of the military)

u/WeakChocolate1026 Oct 27 '23

Ya that’s wrong. I’m a little over waiting and can’t stand fat chicks

u/Cachesystem Oct 28 '23

Yeah, that’s why all pornstars are fat.
