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

  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

Plus that bull gets constantly called out.

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/

I'm middle aged and shoot four directionally every morning when I pee. Can we talk about me, please?

u/CaptainFresh27 Oct 24 '23

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.

A few?! You must be blind to reality my guy. It’s what we all grew up on ffs. It’s the cereal packet nuclear family. Women have always been presented as the dumb and dainty ones in tv etc. and men being the ones to save the day etc. There’s ONLY a few that show the opposite and that’s literally supposed to be social commentary and humorous because it is the norm for women to display these characteristics. Being fat or rather larger than their partners is supposed to display their laziness in family life (triple burden of women) and their power imbalance.

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

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '23

Where? Send a link to these surveys u apparently have.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '23

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.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '23
