Does Fat Acceptance apply for Men, too?

Just wondering since I only ever see Women talking about body positivity in regards to another female's body.. Not so much men

men in the US just ow,, are largely clueless, why else would a medically obese man thin he can just hit on all the girls and does not understand WHY they turn away?
but there are some folks for sure the prefer big bellies

@SatyrService lol it goes both ways tho. You got 200 lb women walking around in crop tops today as if they weigh 60 lbs less. Most people have grown accustomed to it or in other words, have accepted it while fat guys are still deemed disgusting, smelly, and undesirable. I just find the double standard highly hypocritical since Fat Women can also smell and look nasty, no matter how much makeup or perfume they put on.
@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
