I can understand both sides. On one hand we have folks that are just way too sensitive these days and that's not cool, but on the other hand if one persons feelings actually got hurt because of this that's not cool either. We can confirm there is one person that truly got offended. Not like someone getting offended at the possibility of this offending someone else, but they were directly offended. That's a point that is kinda hard to write off.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm rarely think about the person on the other side of this screen when I post. So it would of be safe for me to say that you're all not real to me. Because you're not here in person, in front of me. I can't see your reaction to what I post, but the truth is, you all are real people with real feelings and I just went real gay
I think it's interesting that most women get pissed when men admit they don't think fat is attractive… they take it personal, (WHY is this? In some way they instantly feel they don't measure up? or that THEY are overweight) and then jump on this "fat shaming" bullshit bandwagon. I think it would be much healthier if we just laid shit on the table. I'd guess not many of us RIU'ers have anywhere near perfect shapes.
The difference is that men laugh off their shape (or lack of) and just ACCEPT or CHANGE it and move on. Women get so bent about it and want to change billions of years of biology. And don't tell me it's because men have "set it up that way" in our culture or (God help me) it's "all over the media…" Gimme a break.
I can pass on to you the wisdom of my years and tell you that women hold the power here, not men. Men are not as nit picky as women. They deal with what IS. Not a whole bunch of stupid little implied meanings or perceived slights.
When women stop giving a shit what men think and be more concerned about what THEY themselves think, life gets a whole lot easier and fun. YOu don't see men whining about women who don't like short dicks, or short men, or fat men or WHATEVER, and they sure as shit don't blame women for having those opinions.
Are you fat? Fine. If you want to get shapely get your ass to the gym, if not, love yourself and FUCK what superficial guys say. Not all men HAVE to be attracted to all shapes. Move on until you find one who likes your shape instead of blogging, posting on FB or bitching about those assholes.
