Double standards much?

Why is being a fat women so socially shunned. But if you are a fat guy it's not so much of a big deal.

Women are judged far more by their appearance. Of course it’s a double standard.

@bijouxbroussard Yes it's true, but if he doesn't even want to boink you, then you definitely won't have a relationship.
@Gumba1000 But a man who “will shag anything that says ‘yes’” is not a good candidate for a relationship anyway.
Gumba1000 · M
@bijouxbroussard You wouldn't know, you aren't a man. If you have a bf or husband, I'm certain if he was answering truthfully he would tell you that there is a wide range of women he would shag if he had the chance. Obviously if he wasn't attached to you.

Because society saves most of its scorn for women. It always has. Women are expected to be fit and beautiful to attract a man in this society far more than a man is expected to be fit and handsome to attract a woman.

@SW-User agreed

I think it's much more a double standard as women age. Men are often considered distinguished looking when they begin to go gray. If a woman were to stop dying her hair and wearing make-up, I think a lot of us would look frumpy in society's eyes.

@Gumba1000, I do like to look my best, regardless of age. There is something to be said about feeling good about putting in the effort. I never thought age was a good excuse to not take care of myself. Yeh, I don't have much control over wrinkles and things like that, but I can do a lot with other things.

Thank-you! It's been my handle for a decade now. 😊

@bijouxbroussard uuugh...yeh...good point too.
Gumba1000 · M
@bijouxbroussard Rules and laws are a social construct. Western society and laws used to permit marriage and all the trimmings that go with it, from childhood. But the societies changed to become what we are now. Genetics doesn't follow social constructs.

Because fat guys know that it's better to be fit than fat but some fat women think it ok to be fat and take offense to being called what they are.

@IrishNutter 😂😂😂
Gumba1000 · M
@IrishNutter I agree totally.

I wouldn’t want a fat guy haha

@LadyGrace I’m more into dominant, fit and rough guys so I don’t think someone chubby would fit the bill lol
😂 That’s really great, if that’s what you like. The heavy ones seem so nice, and not arrogant or egotistic. I actually don’t trust the good looking ones. I think they know they’re cute and it goes to their head, and I don’t trust them. I think when they are tired of one lady, they go to the next. Not all, but some. I think all that attention goes to their head and they get tired of staying with just one person and so they move on to get even more of a rush from the compliments..Plus, the heavy ones are so cuddly.. Ha ha ha ha@SW-User

@LadyGrace I’d just prefer someone fit, not necessarily with extraordinary looks. And I don’t find a lot of guys good looking hahaha. I’m very picky

Honestly I have no idea I blame the media and their almost unachievable ideas of what a woman should look like
StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M
I don't tend to shun people unless they've done me wrong.
WanderLustChick · 31-35, F
@StevetheSleeve it's a good way to be
Because women are still primarily valued for their looks. That’s why older men generally speaking, have an easier time socially than older women.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard That's nothing new though...

Oddly a reverse of the animal kingdom in general 🤔
@Quizzical Of course it’s not new. But it’s still sadly, true.
We often use the excuse of being “animals” to justify behaviors that many animals aren’t guilty of.
Cowboybob · M
I’ve kinda gotten the dad-bod and I’m not happy about it
WanderLustChick · 31-35, F
@Cowboybob yeah but Dad bod is not bad 😊
Cowboybob · M
@WanderLustChick lol. Thanks

Because society is full of shallow people. Not all, ofc, but quite a few.
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
It's all that talk about being attracted to personality
SW-User
Who knows, I see no difference between the two.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
Hahahahahahaha!!!

Yeah, try being a fat guy for a while and THEN say it's not considered a big deal... 😒
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@WanderLustChick You're not even fat though! 🤔
WanderLustChick · 31-35, F
@Quizzical haha I am I'm about 60lbs overweight I just hold it well I think.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@WanderLustChick Exceptionally well it seems 😮

😳
Primnproper · 56-60, F
I'm not sure if you ask any large guys they would feel like that..they get penalised by women just as much..
Says who? Don’t agree with that assumption
WanderLustChick · 31-35, F
@Norms I'm just speaking from my own experiences.
@WanderLustChick all you can do. There are plenty of men and women who enjoy full figures
Gumba1000 · M
Girls are expected to want to attract a partner.
WanderLustChick · 31-35, F
@Gumba1000 right but aren't men supposed to be too?
Gumba1000 · M
@WanderLustChick A man will hunt for a girl that will accept him. Women just complain they aren't attracting what they want, instead of doing something about it.
USMCGUY · 46-50, M
Some people like the big girls. Different strokes!
WanderLustChick · 31-35, F
@USMCGUY haha alot of people don't like us big girls
SirEldridge · 31-35, M
Maybe more woman like the fatties
