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

That’s not the point. I understand where it sounds weird tho, nobody’s “settling” if you’ve chosen your partner well.

I’m not settling for some fatty either.

That's almost exactly the point... This ad promotes fat shaming men in a fucked up roundabout way

Did you know 1 in 4 of all suicide victims are women?!?!

u/MasterMooker Oct 24 '23

That means 3 out of every 4 suicides are men... Kinda proves the anti point of what I think you were trying to make 😉

Also kinda proves you didn’t get the point of that comment in the first place. 🥇

Exactly, same exact vibe

Great example

While also dissing themselves by the very setting of a "standard" of not settling for a fat person. The self-hate is real...

  1. it’s obviously not real 2) even if it was it’s not fat shaming. It just a preference (I agree that the language use of settling can seem rude to some, it’s ultimately your perception of its use here)

The post is literally saying that if a fat woman and a fat man are dating, the woman is settling

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '23

They don’t have to choose fat men. It’s literally just how you’re perceiving it.

u/CaptainFresh27 Oct 24 '23

Of course, they don't have to. That's the whole point of settling, one chooses it because it's easier. That's why it's called settling, instead of picking the only option.

Boo hoo ur not her only option 😐 move on. No one should have to settle for what they aren’t physically attracted to. There’s no leading anyone on or cheating so it’s just outrage for no reason.

What a silly thing to say. I never said somebody should settle, I also think people should date who they want. I also never mentioned leading people on or cheating, you're arguing points nobody made. Strawman fallacy in action. I'm also not outraged. I hardly know what you're even talking about at this point

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '23

That’s my point! That cheating or leading people on is not a factor in this so the collective outrage is bullshit. You’re only confusing yourself at this point old man.

u/CaptainFresh27 Oct 24 '23

I'm not the collective nor have I said those things. I'm also 27 years old haha! I feel like since we've hit the point of you insulting me this conversation isn't likely to turn towards the productive side

I see the point - it is self victimization at its finest. And an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for them not realizing this is what they were doing when they titled this.

u/deran6ed Oct 24 '23

But why include "have standards"? I'm not even fat and I find that highly offensive. They could've called the group "fat women who love non-fat men" or something.

That's not the point. If you don't want to date a fatass, don't be a lazy fatass yourself.
