I know it sounds harsh, but honestly, I cannot sympathise with fat people who play victim when it's their own damn fault. Whether people want to change or not is none of my concern, but atleast take responsibility for your actions.
Men are pretty much universally more attracted to slim women, it's simply a fact.
Thanks to hale bopp for needlessly relying on stupid stereotypes to make a point, and let her own sexism shine through. Being fat doesn't make you smarter, and being muscular doesn't make you brainless. That makes no sense. I know alot of men who work out, who are very very smart, creative, ambitious, artistic. Everything from conservatory level jazz musicians, to phd students, who also happen to appreciate having a strong and healthy body.
A sound mind, is a sound body. Not taking care of your body doesn't make you smart.

Well said.
I've been way too scrawny (130lbs at age 21 w/a 35" chest). I began to dislike my look because women disliked my look. I was the guy that was either felt sorry for or mocked. I took responsibility.
I've been overweight - when I was 31-34 I was around 190lbs. IAgain, I took responsibility and didn't consider myself dateable at the time and so lost weight.
From what I've observed, It seems to me that men are almost universally better at taking responsibility when it comes to their weight.
While there's more overweight men in the USA than women. There are more overweight and obese women than men globally.
Are you The least bit.surprised?
Men also average more hours of exercise per week in many countries. Though I suspect the fact men still make up the bulk of labor jobs is part of the reason.
Young men. Are simply more active in my experience.
Teen boys ride, play sport, casually weightlift. Etc.
Teen girls...walk around the shopping mall? Maybe have a gym session once in a blue moon.
Teen boys are also more active at the same activity.
Young men have swimming races and wrestle in the water, young women just sunbathe for hours and read and socialize.
Every excuse in the book can be waved away with calories in, calories out.
Our ancestors managed to stay healthy weight for millennia.
We may have more access to food.than ever and less active jobs but that was no excuse for society to become just how pathetically lazy it is today on a single generation.
I'm all for personal responsibility but I still blame the food companies for intentionally designing addictive products. Who knows? They might even be encouraging the fat acceptance movement.
The trouble is, girls are having stuff like this marketed at them
Each one of these Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccinos contains three times the recommended daily allowance of sugar.
Girls may think they look cute drinking them but it won't make their waistline cute.

It's the bullying of men that are not attracted to slobs that annoys me the most.
Are women bullied for not liking short men? Height is not juxtapose to obesity as one is self-caused the other immutable. Maybe women know they can get away with it and abuse that female privilege simply because nobody dare call them out, especially not a male.
And high rates of female obesity aren't good in a social setting for males looking for dates. If your that thin and plain girl in a bar full of bigger ladies, your going to get the Lions share -- if not all-- of the male attention that night. Your the only Queen in the land of fat women. Such thin women will let it get to their heads and think no man is good enough for them simply because she's the one getting all the bulk of male attention. She's gonna think she's a gorgeous celebrity 10/10 even though she's just a plain thin woman working at a hair salon, gas station etc.
Maybe women want other women to stay fat by telling them they're "beautiful" or "lovely just the way you are"? As it reduces the competition for men whilst raising their own value. Kind of a clever sexual strategy and form of mate guarding if you think about it. If your best friend is a fat, she's less likely to take your hubby!

Yes. Too many unhealthy, processed snacks and fast food.
People use to eat healthier too because it was all they had. porridge, rice, vegetables, fruits, meats.
They're called 'staple food'. Cheap and easy, usually from farming (e.g. farmers ate their own produce).
Just look in any Coles/Woolworths catalogue, look in any store.
All I see is snack after snack after snack and Coca Cola ads people partying and the big bottles saying "Share with a mate!" In big letters.
These companies want a profit and will kill the nation of obesity to get it.
90% of people just eat whatever they feel like when they feel hungry, usually snacks overloaded with sugar, most people rarely exercise and a large portion of those that do have no consistent diet or fitness routine and just do Ransom's active sh*t whentheye feel like it, like the boys I knew in high school who ate fast food and energy drinks but would skateboard, surf, parkour, and the rare gym workout.
Whatever. They're still fitter than the average person and a healthy weight at least.

Actually out of the 3 people I’ve dated, 2 have been overweight, 2 have been unemployed, 2 haven’t had a car, none have had their own house, and 1 has been over six foot.
Also I’ve never met a muscle man who is a deep thinker or non superficial. Maybe I’ve just been unfortunate. Actually, I lie. I’ve met one.
Such a hypocrite.

Well, you and some other women here are hypocrites.
You keep telling the guys here not to judge women, and then you take the freedom to call all men who lift, brainless, which by the way makes no sense... in reality lifting weights is one of the best forms of exercise to increase your brain's plasticity.
It's a false stereotype created by people who need to put others down to feel better about themselves.
We want to feel the world is fair, so we create these false dichotomies in which good looking people ought to be stupid and smart people should be ugly.

Btw, believe it or not, I am on diet!
My last week's blood test showed I have a high LDL (134, while max must be 130) and low HDL (33, while must be 45)
I got freaked, high LDL + low HDL means a higher heart attack risk, my mother has the same combination so it may be genetic.
I weight 60 kg, 5'3 of height.
I changed my lifestyle instantly: I was neglecting cardio training in gym, now i am doing 50 mins of it daily; I dropped all fast food, unnatural sweets (except dark chocolate which is good), less red meat, more fish, more olive oil, more nuts, more vegetables. I cut all fried things, more grilled and baked things.

Diets suck right? I miss sweets I miss steak and potatoes oh potatoes, fried, baked fries so many kids of potatoes. Know what gets boring rice and chicken.
I’m going try your a day cardio 3 days a week and work towards 5 days a week.

Pretty sure I didn’t say anywhere that all muscle men are brainless, but whatever.
