Does Fat Acceptance apply for Men, too?

@TheMasterMan1 lol well those are the ages you want anyway, the mid 20's & up 😂 trust me

@SkeetSkeet mom bods are hot 🥴 cant convince me otherwise 😂

@ChiefWalksWith40oz lol!

@SW-User You think people should be ashamed of their bodies?

@Lila15 No. That is not the point of this post. All I'm saying is that the "Body Positivity" movement is very one-sided with it's approach to the subject of, well.... body positivity/fat acceptance lol

@Lila15 blah, blah, blah, blah...blah

Blah

@assemblingaknob That's actually kind of sad. Financial stability is fine but if physical appearance or personality doesn't amount to much then ultimately a man's worth should be based on his earnings? That is pretty cruel considering a woman's worth is not based on her earnings but rather her physical appearance or personality. Complete 360. I don't find that fair in the slightest. It's fine to want financial stability in a relationship/marriage but to only date based off of one's earnings is quite shallow.

@TheMasterMan1 it's sad both ways, sir. Men want boobs, women want money.

@V00doo That could be interperated in so many ways.😰

@Matt85 😌

@Matt85 she likes em E X T R A T H I C C

@Lanie78 Couldn't have said it better myself. I think fat-shaming on both ends is just wrong. This post was mainly referring to the "Body Positivity" Movement tbh and how one-sided it is, but I agree with the fact that people should just be happy to be whatever weight they want to be. (Unless it puts their health in danger)

@Ducky It doesn't. There is no cultural movement to find fat men as attractive.

@TheMasterMan1 i am of mixed feelings. I have been attracted to many kinds of women some of them Quite Full Figured.
I also know women who's every Boyfriend was indeed a Much Larger man
somewhere between personal taste and cultural ideals

I think we need to be kind to those that lie outside the "standards" and give respect.
so I say to many
Do as you Like, but be ready for the haters

@SatyrService I actually have a preference for chubbier girls myself. I've dated both thin and fat to know what I like. Although personally, I'm more of a demisexual. So I understand how both genders have their own personal tastes or standards. All I'm saying is that the "Body Positivity" movement or "Fat Acceptance" is only geared towards Women, not Men.

@TheMasterMan1 I think many men are being more body and receiving positive iideals
I thin the deal with Women is SO MUCH of what they have heard [i]all their lives[/i] is
[quote]You got to look nice
be thin, make men want you[/quote] and nothing else they are or do matters.

they get tha message from the time hey are quite young. and not all thicker women get the respect.
even tho many of us like a well filled girl

but men, we have more outlets for self respect we are allowed work, service to others, friendships and effort to be a virtuous.
women need over come the fat bigotry, tat soaks thier lives, hence a movement about it

@Nadie As am I. I love women with a fuller face, thicker arms and legs, and a cute soft belly to play with. Yet it doesn't stop me from calling out double standards in Society, ya know? And this is coming from someone who is somewhat fit, not fat.

@TheMasterMan1 there are exceptions to everything.

@Nadie Tru dat.

@Torsten Oh, yeah I think that's just denial.

@Teirdalin its lazy people wanting to push that narrative instead of doing the work and get in shape

@Torsten I think that's simplistic, I don't see body positivity as saying 'fat is attractive' or that it's a positive thing. Like an ugly building isn't much to look at but it would still keep you dry if it rains! To me it's about not reducing someone to their appearance and 'because' they are fat/unhealthy/etc, they are worthless (or just worth less). I don't think that message is obvious or consistent and it might just be my personal take. Speaking as a fat person lol

@Ryannnnnn Stigma? How so?

@TheMasterMan1 Women have their value tied to attractiveness subconsciously, it's not true obviously but there's a lot of societal pressure to be skinny and perfect.

@Ryannnnnn I couldn't find a simple way to say that but it's exactly what I was thinking. Mens weight/appearance is held against them less. Not to say of course that it doesn't happen at all.

@LeopoldBloom Could you elaborate on how it's discussed?

@TheMasterMan1 I follow several fat-related subs on Reddit. There's plenty of discussion about fat men and women who are turned on by that, just as some men are turned on by fat women. I would agree that fat women have more visibility in the fat acceptance movement, but that's due to women being more sexualized and the fact that any depiction of women in the areas of fashion or physical form is far more prevalent than depiction of men. Pick up a fashion magazine at random and it's far more likely to be about women than men.

@TheMasterMan1 Duh, dates are lame. Dates and relationships are for people who are a thousand years old.

@Emosaur Swallowing my semen burns fat.

@DearAmbellina2113 Not everyone likes them, tbh although there are a good few who do. I'm talking about the "Body Positivity" movement in general tbh, not really what people's personal tastes or standards are.

@lumberjackslam They're only seen as grotesque once they pass 300 lbs from what I can tell. I see many women over 200 lbs walking on the streets with crop tops and stuff these days, belly hanging and everything.

@TheMasterMan1 fat with an attitude problem... nice

@lumberjackslam Gosh don't even get me started.... some of these women have no right to be giving the tantrums they be giving.

@empanadas Please don't. You'll start a whole war on boob envy. No woman wants to compete with a man in the breast department. Let us have that at least 🤣

@Lanie78 but we need a new store called victor's secret.
