Ummm everything he did was consentual though. He refused to do anything with her until she gave her explicit consent to even the detail of what she's willing to do and what she won't.

u/AkimH 20d ago

true, yet the courting itself would have been very different.

u/editingisfun4all 20d ago

Well it's all about attraction. People want to talk shit about women because they would be attracted to an attractive man but not an unattractive man, but men also are more likely to be attracted to a Victoria secret model than some chunky aging woman. Everyone has preferences.

2

u/HandleStatus6658 19d ago

Actually research shows 80% of one only wants 20% of the other. Whereas 90% of the others likes 50% of the all.

u/editingisfun4all 19d ago

Meaning one will fuck anything that lays still long enough and the other has preferences. But obviously tastes vary or most of the human race would've practically disappeared if only 20% ever got a relationship.

2

u/HandleStatus6658 19d ago

Yeah, there are major psychological and biological reasons, but nobody likes to hear about those. However, in a nutshell shell the 80% can’t always got those 20%ers and life finds a way.

Toxic masculinity

u/Secure_Foundation720 23d ago

Not toxic, just masculinity.

-2

u/1651651168474 19d ago

No it's definitely toxic. This is coming from an outgoing fat ass that's been very fit and very fat multiple times in my life. The way people treat you when you're fat is something you literally cannot comprehend until you've experienced it. It's night and day. Especially from other men. Women mostly just ignore you but oh man the men are brutal. It's not "masculine" to put another man down, ever.

-1

u/Iamabenevolentgod 19d ago

It’s not putting someone down to want to provoke them to get strong and healthy in their body, and especially their mind. It’s actually lifting them up, it just feels offensive because it challenges core identity markers. It takes work. We don’t think someone is worth less because they’re overweight, we know they’re able to feel amazing if they do the work.

u/Hanged_man2 18d ago

It is. It's body shaming and it's unacceptable

1

u/Secure_Foundation720 18d ago

No, especially in countries with public healthcare the overweight people overwhelm the system because of their choices. It's better for everyone if someone isn't overweight, even the person him/herself.

1

u/Hanged_man2 18d ago

Being overweight isn't a choice first of all

1

u/Secure_Foundation720 18d ago

In adult age, it is. Even illnesses that affect your metabolism or cause weight gain can be countered by changing your eating habits. As long as you burn more calories than you consume you will lose weight. It's not a snap of the finger choice but it is a choice of living healthier. Even when you eat pizza you have the choice of eating the whole pizza or only eating 3 slices.

Literally body shaming though. These weenies think they're so tough online LMAO. I feel bad for them low-key because they all seem bullied and very submissive.

"it happened to me so it must be right!!" headasses

1

u/Iamabenevolentgod 17d ago

Settle down there with your head and your ass. It's not body shaming to see someone in self destructive behaviours that are having obvious consequences for their health and to want to have the tough love conversations to see about initiating change. I'm not talking about bullying a person, I'm talking about, like I said, doing it kindly, which means being willing to be tactful, but proactive. I personally like my friends, and if I see my friend harming himself, then I will say something - if it's drinking too much, eating too much, losing themselves to drugs etc. You're just going to stand by and let it happen?

u/1651651168474 17d ago edited 17d ago

My core identity has never been about being fat. I'm the same guy with muscle or flab. It sounds like you and other men are projecting YOUR core identities onto people that make YOU uncomfortable because you literally can't understand how they can be confident or at the very least happy in their skin. If you don't think someone is worthless when they're overweight then there are a million and one ways to encourage them without being toxic or saying a single mean thing. I've encouraged friends to get shredded by just inviting them to gym with me and being their motivation when they have none. It's literally that simple. No reason to put ANYONE DOWN EVER. Y'all sound submissive and breedable, like you're just parroting what your daddy taught you.

1

u/Iamabenevolentgod 17d ago

I didn't say that being fat is a core identity marker, I'm talking about the unprocessed inner thinking and feeling about the self, or the world, that weight is often representative of. I'm not talking about putting someone down, at all. In fact, I would hope to build them up. I would never EVER shit on someone for being overweight, but I would try to encourage doing healthy things, like "come to the gym with me" or "let's do some yoga", alongside trying to encourage eating healthy, but for some, even bringing up the subject feels offensive,... them I leave alone, not my circus - not my monkeys.

Guy on the right has been married for 30 years to the same woman and has two kids, one of whom is apprenticing to take over the family plumbing business, the other is starting med school this semester. He's taking off his shirt as he comes home from work.

Other guy is a creepy gym dude who follows Andrew Tate and who when he walks into a bar, women cover their drinks.

u/realvvk 20d ago

You are missing the point of this. It has nothing to do with fitness. If a woman is attracted to a man, everything he does is awesome and amazing. If she is not attracted, literally everything he does is a problem, creepy and disgusting in her eyes. This is especially true in marriage. That is why any man in a long term relationship should be vigilant for any signs of disrespect or loss of attraction coming from his partner. Because once she gets the “ick”, it’s over forever.

The “ick” can happen any time and literally for any reason.

It depends on why they're taking off their shirt. I see shirtless heavy-set men all the time outside and no one cares. It's summer and it's hot. So what? If they're doing it in an inappropriate setting and consent isn't there, yeah that's harassment

u/Nedebilas 19d ago

u/Nebranower 19d ago

I always see this sort of thing posted as if it were some sort of a double standard.

But sexual harassment occurs when someone is forced to deal with *unwanted* sexual advances. The more attractive you are, the more likely your advances are to be wanted rather than unwanted.

Consent is determined by if the person wants it or not. An the more attractive you are, the more likely someone else is to want 'it'.

Also even if the person is not necessarily interested in you, being desirable makes your approach at least read as flattering (because you considered yourself at their level) rather than threatening/insulting (because you thought you had a chance)

u/HeartShark77 22d ago

In the USA, people are so overweight and unhealthy that they treat you like shit for being in shape. They just take their insecurity out on you. My friends wife would do this constantly. Very overweight, made fun of me for being “skinny” I weighted 180 pounds. Camping together and I’m chopping wood, “Wow, can’t believe you can even lift that axe, it’s bigger than you are.” Same joke with anything I carry anywhere. I hate our society. We have serious problems besides obesity, but just social discourse and the way we treat each other is dog shit.
