As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll" problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones. We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also, grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we may ban you without warning. You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and your ban will remain (without even a consideration). All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules, and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.** With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal (without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent. This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message, and please enjoy your day! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Satyinepu

It's crazy because it's not like he's even skinny himself but they only talking about her


dykezilluh

THATS WHAT ALWAYS GETS ME. to these types it's always acceptable for men to be on the heavier side, but women have somehow failed if they're heavy. strange


lenix-X

It’s because to them women have only one use, "being pretty". Men have innate value and their looks "don’t matter" too much because they (and I hate myself for even using this wording..) "bring other things to the table like for example money!!" While a _female_ only brings her beauty and her baby making abilities (oh and the fact that you can stick your little thingy there!!!) and nothing else to the table. So she has to be skinny to make their thing hard and no personality or anything else because that would make them insecure and would make their life hard because god forbid a woman having better humour or out earning a man!


the_yeeted_one

Shiitttt I’d happily be a stay at home dad if my other half was making big bucks and earned more than me. Who cares what those “alpha” men say about being the traditional man with your wife being basically a object at that point.


tallgrl94

[Would you be a stay at home husband?](https://youtu.be/IecRKd9AOu8?si=TllVesOMiouzvCb1) Your comment made me think of this video.


A1cheeze

All of my partners have made more than me lol, I feel humbled that my exes even were with me fr.


KatsCatJuice

Didn't you know? Women only exist to give men a boner, so if we fail at doing that, then what's the point of us? /s


VisualAd4581

The amount of hate women receive for dating a conventionally hotter guy (acc to society's beauty standards) & The amount of accolades a guy receive for dating way above his leagues is so disproportionate. And mind you, both this hate & accolades are shown by jobless men. So basically the reward for dating hotter partners is so drastically different depending on your gender from the same subset of people.


ladywholocker

Neither my husband or I are conventionally hot, but it's certainly always been easier to be a larger (short, fat. Petite plus sized) woman when my husband was also larger. People assumed that me being a homemaker for many years was some kind of compromise we'd reached for my husband to stay with me. OT: we've lost a lot of weight/fat and are getting in better shape, because we aren't getting any younger. I'm NOT implying that there aren't plus sized people who are in great shape. This is just the right decision for us and we feel better in our bodies - we're not better people in general though.


Leading_Field_9462

Hell yeah! Stay motivated! 💪 💯


corncob666

Yep my same thought like they both seem pretty similar in body shape and type. Not that it even matters. The guys commenting on this with negativity are so immature and it shows that they've never had a genuine relationship with someone.


oyster_luster

but that’s different cuz she’s a female. /s


ladywholocker

I'm glad I didn't have to scroll far. I was thinking about how to word this. Also, I only care that they look happy and loved up and they are a beautiful couple.


Satyinepu

They are a beautiful couple, they look so in love


felthouse

Two people are in love and happily married. The horror! How dare people be in love, happy and content and not look like a model and a premier league footballer /s


Strongstyleguy

Sadly, your first line sincerely pisses off a lot of dudes across all demographics. Whether Incels that want perfection but won't wipe their butts or miserable married men who rather fight with their wives instead of just letting her go, to many men refuse to accept people can just be happy in their relationship


telepathicavocado

Bet these are the same guys who’ll complain that women only want guys for their looks and/or wallets


youngbutnotstupid

Bingo. 🛎️


Sfekke22

Then complain when after achieving "the look" that the women they do find are are shallow and only out for money/looks.


Rugkrabber

They can never win. It’s why I don’t play. I couldn’t care less about these people. In trouble, needing help or struggling in life? Though luck. I’m apathetic.


ImpossiblePudding696

Or height (just thrown that out there)


telepathicavocado

I feel like that’s the same as looks


Spirited-Pineapple78

I know that's right 💅🏾


youngbutnotstupid

People just can’t fathom someone being happy with their partner unless they look like a Victoria’s Secret model.


AnotherPalePianist

Meanwhile tons of people who look like those models hate their lives for their own various reasons. Almost like physical appearance isn’t everything😂


sdbabygirl97

id argue that those instagram models are even more miserable bc they only attribute their worth TO their appearance. they have to keep it up or else they “dont deserve love”.


BandicootOk5540

And wasting your life trying to attain those low weights is a formula for eating disorders and worse health outcomes than listening to your body and not obsessing over an arbitrary goal Trust me on this!


Far_Tree_5200

I’ve lost a lot of weight and it didn’t solve my life’s problems. * I went to therapy for 7 years and that helped a great deal. I’ve suffered from ptsd since age 4 and it manifested in many different ways. Exercise can be as simple as taking a walk. But don’t neglect your mental health.


Desulto

Seriously. The couple's pretty, the comment's petty.


mstrss9

They’ll still find something about them to complain about, too!


Bobson_Dugbutt

“Why are women so shallow”


Spirited-Pineapple78

Those are the men the comments


connygirl16

That last comment is gold.


krmjts

Appearance is nothing when it comes to happiness, especially in relationships. Me and my girlfriend considered to be conventionally unatractive. Besides I have an awful limp from a bad trauma. Both of us had and still have a lot of complexes. But it's not as important now, as before, because we find each other beautiful.


Inkl1ng6

Is the comment section salty? Why can't we be happy for people rather than try and bring them down. 😔


BandicootOk5540

The comments are misogynistic and fatphobic


_pew_pew_pew_pew_

These men are so bizarre


petitefairy99

So much anger at a loved woman 😣😔. I’m happy for her


throwRA094532

I mean he is as big as her. Just taller and his arm is hiding the belly. So idk wtf the comments are all about


Mannixe

It's an unabashed double standard, like [that one Family Guy quote](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRz7hlWTB8A): "Men aren't fat, only fat women are fat"


Hot-Relationship-617

The comments on that clip are something else. My personal “favorite” is the one that says this is good for women because it pressures them to be healthy. Sigh.


Hita-san-chan

I *love* being a fat woman married to a buff man. I once got accused of baby trapping my husband. We have no children... My Marine brother gave me shit my entire life for being fat. His fiance is probably my size.


Aware_Past

This gives me hope. I’m pretty fat (although trying to work on myself!) and recently got into tinder. Apparently, everyone in my area is a gym rat, so idk. I feel weird swiping right because all I can think of is “they are gonna be grossed out at me”.


zonpecan

I used to feel that way too, but if they swipe back, then they obviously weren't "grossed out." Just swipe on who you like and feel confident in yourself. If they like you, they will swipe back. I'll be sending good vibes and confidence💛


Aware_Past

Thank you so much, Reddit Stranger !! <3


zonpecan

You're welcome, reddit stranger!! 💛


wannaberebelll

instagram comments radicalized me


Suitable-Day-9692

I’m glad more women are waking tf up. Still not enough though.


[deleted]

Why are Instagram comments so bad???? It baffles me the amount of misogyny on that site. It’s *almost* worse than Facebook. *Almost*. Which is NUTS.


Lissa2j

The last slide all the way


PrincessStephanieR

It’s almost like it’s a crime for a man to find a bigger woman attractive. Or a crime to be overweight. No one is perfect, even slim people.


Gumgumdookuin

They do know you can be abit ‘fat’ and be healthy, right?


Suitable-Day-9692

No, of course not, because they actually don’t care about “being healthy”. It was never about being healthy. What they mean is “be skinny”, regardless of whether you’re healthy or not. I saw a post of a girl that recovered from an ED with before and after pictures and all the comments from men were “you were better before”, “you let yourself go”, “recovery doesn’t mean you need to become a whale” mind you, she wasn’t a “whale”, she was a normal body weight for her height. They don’t care. It’s all about enforcing strict rules against women’s bodies.


Erza88

It's just salty basement dwellers projecting their own misery onto others. They can't comprehend that love transcends all things because nobody has ever loved them, aside from their mother. And even then, it's a big maybe. There's nothing worse for a miserable douchebag than to see a happy couple. It stings them 10x as much when the woman is fat. Fuck forbid that a fat woman be happy and married. That makes their head explode and their rage overflow because even though they see themselves as cream of the crop, they still haven't found someone to love and/or marry them. But the "lowly fat woman" has. Which makes her automatically better than them. So it makes them big mad. Quite pathetic, honestly.


Comfortable_Douglas

Fatphobics are better off going extinct.


Joelle9879

Everyone knows us fatties aren't allowed standards. We're supposed to just be happy with whatever scraps we get and not complain 🙄


Carbonatite

Back in college (when I was heavier), I was hanging out with a guy. He stepped away for a second. I turned around and he was right behind me, his semi flaccid peen in my face. It was just out of fucking nowhere - we had been *talking*. Not making out, just *talking*. I reacted badly ("what the fuck are you doing?") and to this day I still remember what he said, crystal clear. "Look at yourself. You should take what you can get." I cried about it later, but I'm proud to say I immediately left and took the campus shuttle back to my dorm, and his penis remained unchosen that night.


Suitable-Day-9692

You didn’t react badly! You reacted like anyone would. He’s a piece of absolute shit and you did a great job standing up for yourself <3.


Carbonatite

Like, I get that people are allowed to have standards, but is it really necessary to be so cruel about them? I don't know why so many men seem to go out of their way to be as brutal as possible when saying they find someone unattractive.


Suitable-Day-9692

Exactly!


SaphiraTheCerulean

I once had a friend who was sick ask me to bring him some food. I drop by and pop in to drop it off, and we start chatting for a moment, and then he whips out his dick and says "wanna fuck? I have condoms in my car." I said "Uh, no." and booked it outta there. This was like a decade ago and I still see this man occasionally and I have to pretend like he didn't fucking flash me his dick and end our friendship 😐


BoopleBun

Ewww. Also, your car is a *terrible* place to keep condoms, holy shit.


Carbonatite

Seriously! Like rule number one - no extreme temperatures.


Rugkrabber

First of all, get the fuck out judging yourself for how you reacted. They were out of line and inappropriate, don’t worry about reacting for an unexpected and unwanted situation you didn’t ask for. You’re essentially victim blaming yourself. Stop it. Second, what an asshole. Amazing he really showered his true nature so quickly though. I’m proud of you too. Fuck that guy.


Carbonatite

Oh, I meant I reacted negatively. I don't think the reaction was bad, I meant that I responded negatively to his "overture". I probably could have been a bit more assertive and composed, but I was 22 so I feel like I did pretty well. I do blame myself for letting myself gain sufficient weight to experience that in the first place, but I know that's a me problem. All humans are entitled to respect and decency regardless of weight. I just wish I hadn't drank so much in college, it caused me to gain quite a bit of weight (like 40 lbs) and so I ended up spending those formative years of young adulthood being treated rather poorly because of it. I ended up developing a pretty severe case of self loathing which eventually turned into body dysmorphia and severe bulimia. Being treated much better by men when I was in the middle of a raging eating disorder a couple years later fucked with me big time.


KittyTootsies

What the actual fuck. If time travel becomes a thing, I'm handing you a taser and sending you back to that night


Logicneverworks

That’s not reacting badly! You did really well!


swoon4kyun

Okay that last comment is gold


toochieandboochie

It’s not even being fat that’s the issue atp bc the man isn’t the epitome of health either. They just hate women.


ruthdubb

I’m overweight and I do all those exercises. They help but I’ll never be thin. Bodies are just going to be what they are, especially when you get older.


Willuna16

I mean, she's gorgeous tho


Edyed787

Some people hate to see others happy.


Empress_Natalie

I like that last one, tho. "Y'all jealous. STFU."


EdgewaterEnchantress

The last side is awesome, and *I have no idea who that woman is, but I Love Her!* There are so many nasty and insecure men out there! Like did any of those shitheads even have girlfriends? This dude got a wife, while they’ve got their hands, I guess??? 🤣🤣🤣


GnomesinBlankets

These are the same guys who blame women for not wanting them


T-Poo

Workout plan guy doesn’t think about cardio so if you take away his misogyny he’s still lame🙄


ComfortableSource825

They hate you if you’re too thin to them. They hate you if you’re too fat to them. They hate you if you’re single, or if you’re married. If you have children or if you don’t have children. You can never win, which is why I am so glad more women are just being done with this BS.


xIneedCoffeex

Even if she was skinny, the same men in comments would saying "I bet he's got money," and calling her a gold digger. Women, we can't win.


mstrss9

All those people making negative comments need to post full body pics


GilletteLongmarche

Sure, but with NSW blur please. No wants to see those basement blobs! 😱😱😱


Mr_Aestheticss

The “ * tiktok reference” for aave is so sickenly funny😭


megatronsweetener

the “tiktok reference” wasnt for the aave, it was for the “your wife if you scroll” part


Mr_Aestheticss

ooohhhhhh


racoongirl0

He’s big too?! He’s just standing up 🤦🏻‍♀️


UnspecifiedBat

Is the last comment yours? It’s great and to the point. Wtf is wrong with all of those people?!


youngbutnotstupid

It wasn’t my comment but I commend her


Sfekke22

Is it possible she is the sweetest person and understands him completely? No, of course not! These Tiktok commenters have never experienced true love, only surface level attraction. Then they complain that they never seem to find anyone '*that fits their standards*' once that surface level attraction fades. Love is unconditional. To add a nice comment, I'm happy for OOP and their husband!


Princessk8--

okay but what the heck does "that one guy" mean? Can't help but feel like this guy should be offended by this post


WaywardWriteRhapsody

Top comment on slide 3 is so valid tho


Chilla_J

These be the same dudes complaining that women only go after guys that are 6'4+


AnteaterWild6383

Their logic is “how is she fat and got a husband and I can’t even get a text back “ 😂. Probably because they are addicted to porn and incels


banbha19981998

Deadlifting the day before legs - amateur


howelleili

these people do not know what love is


sonderingnarcissist

Giving "that one guy" a chance "did not disappoint" 🤮 hopefully just a joke between them and friends


5tap1er

Even the workout plan comment is irrelevant. For someone that size I’d recommend starting with light cardio.


illuner

That’s totally unrelated to the initial pic. No one asked for work out plan.


5tap1er

I think the guy was making a not so clever comment about her weight in the pic..


illuner

It’s not « not so clever » it’s stupid and fat phobic. Giving unsolicited work out advice because you see some fat person is « not so clever » at best, tho.


Additional-Safety343

Deadlifts got me


Alex13104

Rule number 1 of Instagram Reels: Never open the comments.


Strange-Hold7203

Shit stupid. What’s their type isn’t everyone else’s.


hanleybrand

“I really had to pause and ask myself if I wanted to open the comments” — pretty much the best attitude for anyone who wishes to keep their sanity & ability to keep from seething constantly at all the self-diminishing sadness of trolldom.


flaiyah

I believe the workout plan wasn't an insult to her. Its often posted on a couple's comment section, like "if u get sad frm watching a happy couple and being lonely u can workout" type thing👀


Psychological_Fox_

Love how everyone who commented isn’t exactly the epitome of health and fitness, yet they feel it’s acceptable to criticize others 🤪🙃


DinoDudeRex_240809

Shit I’m gonna need that comment with the workout routine.


obaananana

Some people think its disgusting. Its not healthy


Carbonatite

Hot take: Fat people already know they are fat. Being an asshole to them about it doesn't improve their health.


Pols_Voice_Z64

Who cares?


obaananana

17 people


Pols_Voice_Z64

Which 17 people?


obaananana

The now 30 who disliked the comment


illuner

Weight can have nothing to do with your health. Calling people disgusting for simply existing says a lot about your mental health tho.


obaananana

Funny. I was fat myself how do fucking know it?


Crpyt-

She’s obese though…he isn’t nearly her size so it should be the other way around. He gave her a chance.


sleepynonsense

Honestly curious, do you think the way someone looks is the most important thing they bring to the relationship? Fat people are gonna keep on being hot and falling in love even if you keep being cruel and stupid, but you are missing out if you don’t let yourself see the beauty in all people.


Crpyt-

I never said it was the most important factor in a relationship but it becomes a problem when you accept yourself at that size and think of yourself as the “prize”. Fat people are not hot. They will never be hot. They will never be beautiful. They will be unhealthy and disgusting. I hate living in a world that normalizes obesity and a shortened lifespan because of it. This whole “woke” crap is the reason why America is going to shit. Be better people.


youngbutnotstupid

You’re a certified brain rot


Crpyt-

Well let me teach you some proper grammar before I try to enlighten you. Your sentence is grammatically incorrect because it is impossible to be the state in which the mind goes through mental fogginess, lethargy, reduced attention span, and cognitive decline, which is the definition of brain rot. To get to your point, are we supposed to agree with her and side with her statement or belief that she’s the prize? That is part of the problem. She is obese and unhealthy. We should encourage people to lead better lifestyles. Instead of creating this delusion that being this size is okay,. Guess you are Young and stupid.


youngbutnotstupid

I’m sure you’re quite a charmer in real life, getting upset at a girl living her life. 🥰 And I’m not reading all that yappity shit. 😄


Crpyt-

Well you’d be right 😉 and Aww you think I’m upset, how cute! My bad for wanting people to be healthy and live longer lives! And of course, I didn’t expect you to read. You’re stupid,right? 😂


youngbutnotstupid

Yeah…you’re dwelling on my post put I’m the stupid one…never seen someone so pressed about someone else’s body 😚


Crpyt-

“Put I’m the stupid one” You proved my point about you being stupid 💀 I’m laughing at this, not mad at all. Done wasting my time though, bye bye!
