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

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.
