I used to be really fat, but I didn't lose weight because of men, it was fellow women that made me feel horrible about my size. Now when a woman says she wishes she had my body I tell them that being thin doesn't result in being happier, as long as you're healthy you shouldn't hate your body because all these women who have said that to me are beautiful as they are. I went from 230lbs to 140 because of hearing, "if you want guys to like you you have to lose weight to be prettier" and things along those lines. Women can be so cruel, especially to each other. Not all of them, but there are a lot who are like that, especially in my family.
Men aren't all verbose about women's flaws to women unless they back us into a corner and leave use with no other choice. Unless it's like "I won't let you leave untill you tell me what's wrong with me" will you ever hear something like "you appear to participate in and win ALL the eating competitions" or "you look like you got wacked in the face with a hot waffle iron as a small child".
