What would you think if You Overheard....

Your husband telling your son to never date any fat girls.

This is a hypothetical based on a conversation with someone who told me that he will definitely do this to his son and that I am only thinking that its bad because I am a woman.

@BlueVeins Ok but why is it wrong? I feel that it is wrong but he says that my feelings are just female emotions and not logical.

@REMsleep It's wrong because everyone's attracted to different stuff and the potential(?) father in question is just projecting his own preferences onto other people. It would be like if I told my kids never to eat blackberries because I don't like how they taste. Like excuse me, they can figure out what they enjoy on their own. 💅 It's just his illogical male emotions at work here.

Well im fat so that wouldnt happen lol anyway i think its weird and perverted to try to mold your childs preferences in that way

@DarlingSelah I'm only playing devil's advocate when I ask is it really that odd to try and mold your child's preferences when virtually everyone does it in some way

@REMsleep A responsible parent might warn their child away from [b]behavioral[/b] red flags that suggest a partner might be hiding a deceptive or abusive nature, but to mold their [b]physical[/b] preferences is rather invasive. To use another example, a woman telling her daughter not to date [b]short[/b] men. What does his height have to do with him being a good man ?

REMsleep · 41-45, F

@bijouxbroussard Yes, its true but lots of women instruct their daughter to admire tall guys. They usually don't tell them who not to date based on physical features but they do promote certain feature both men and women do this. And don't worry I think that how he feels about this is awful and disappointing so I am not standing up for him but I am objectively wondering if its really worse than what most people do really as he says.

I'm thinking it's bad because I don't believe in telling my children who to love.

I would think my husband is a douche

Fat people are unhealthy . Same as being told not to date a smoker or druggie.

I would think he was very superficial and trying to pass that quality onto his son, which wasn’t a good thing. And I would know that by emphasizing potential partners’ [b]looks[/b] rather than their qualities as women, he would be setting his son up for heartbreak and disaster.
I’d be curious to know what such a man would think if he heard a woman telling her daughter not to date a man unless he already was or was working towards being [b]wealthy[/b] ? 🙄
