On Fit Men & Fat Women

I'm a fat woman. I'm very open about it. No catfishing. I may not post a lot of body pics (because I hate my body), but I never portray myself as anything I am not.

But I'm gonna be honest....the majority of men who make passes at me are fit men. Like, I'm talking muscular, spend-every-spare-moment-at-the-gym types. Even my own bf is a very fit guy who regularly works out and runs long distance.

This has always confused me. 😕 Society has drilled it into the minds of women that they have to look like one of these 3 body types or they're hideous and undesirable:

So naturally I'm baffled af when a fit dude is into me. What is this about?? What is the appeal for these dudes who spend their lives trying to be shredded, to want to be with women who have the physical measurements of the Stay Puft marshmallow man? 🤔

Well among many things thats wrong with society, objectification is one of the worst things society has done.

I am not sure who got this idea of putting a unrealistic idea into head of a woman and then let them beat themselves up for it whole life.

Your outers are not you thats just flesh and bones. What makes you true self is what kind of person you are.

Eyes are to appreciate the beauty not to judge them. Every construction of nature is amazing
