The oppression of men by fat women continues apace. Reports are coming in that some of these fat women want to date “normal” sized men, while “normal” sized women are all dating hunky Chads and are thus unavailable and unattainable by their male looks matches.
“Obesity has absolutely nuked the chance to go on a date with even regular women,” complains Tripleawge in the PurplePillDebate subreddit.
The biggest casualty of the obesity epidemic is men who are not obese and specifically trying to date women who are neither big nor obese…
From dating apps to real life to even fat models there’s clearly a lot more bigger women than ever before and naturally this has lead to the normal weight woman being as rare as ever to find, in turn leading to their value skyrocketing.
Well, if you hate fat women, I guess that could be the case.
But before we continue this most enlightening discussion, I feel it necessary to point out that while obesity is increasing, it is increasing just as fast for men as it is for women. Indeed, the percentage of American men who are obese and severely obese is slightly higher (43%) than the percentage of American women who are (41.9%). So presumably the “value” of “normal weight men” must be “skyrocketing” as well.
But it isn’t just “normal-weight men” who are being oppressed. Also on the “woke” chopping block are men who hate fat women.
Not to mention the fact that any guy who talks about this in public spaces instantly gets shut down with the “fat-phobic” slander…
It is indeed terrible that fatphobic men are being called fatphobic.
These days it has become much tougher to wow normal sized women without being extremely fit and as a Gen Z I can 100% attest to a lot of guys my age and younger who are now using dangerous SARMS and steroids in order to get “more plates for more dates”
Huh. Or maybe they’re having trouble “wowing” women because they’re the sort of guys who refer to women as “plates.” [EDIT: I’m told that in this context “plates” refers to the weights you put on barbells.]
Or am I just tripping and this really isn’t that big of a deal…
Edit: I forgot to add there’s a lot of people who say that there must be a lot of fit women out there and while there clearly are the majority of women who are social, fit, and attractive are already in relationships and so clearly off limits. This has also (not saying it’s a complete negative but statistically speaking) contributed to the scarcity of fit women around.
Again, there is pretty much the exact same number of non-fat men as there are non-fat women, so I’m thinking maybe your sexual marketplace calculations might be off a tad.
Luckily for Tripleawge, very few of those in the PurplePillDebate are willing to spend the ten seconds it takes to Google the percentages of obese men and women, so there are plenty of commenters on his side.
In the comments, it emerges that his problems with dating apps may stem from the fact that he’s the world’s worst texter.
“Where I live I can get matches,” he admits.
But every conversation with any girl remotely beautiful tends to end after hey beautiful, how’s your week (or year) going so far. It’s lead to me to believe that there’s something else at play other than just looking good or being interested.
Yeah, your terrible text game. Who in their right mind is going to respond to an exceedingly generic and low-effort come-on like “hey beautiful, how’s your week?” I mean, Jesus Christ, just ask her about something in her profile to show that you bothered to read it. You don’t have to be Cyrano de Bergerac to figure that out.
But I guess it’s easier to post s fatphobic conspiracy theory on Reddit than it is to actually read some women’s profiles before sending them a note.

Let me see if I have understand these guys correctly:
When a man approaches a woman and she turns him down because she does not find him attractive, this is women oppressing men.
When a woman approaches a man and he turns her down because he does not find her attractive, this is also women oppressing men.
Fascinating.
@he-who-speaks
dang, guess my good job providing for my wife and daughter is worthless compared to basically any man. thank you for teaching me about my value. guess we should get divorced and find men.
@Allandrel – For them, repression is anything less than every boy being issued a supermodel when he turns 16. They can fantasize all they want about turning down women they don’t find attractive, since it’s highly unlikely that any women of any appearance are approaching them.
The projection is strong with these types. The self-reflection not so much.
The evopsych pretenses at rationality don’t do them any favors either. If you already buy into that, of course everything you see will confirm it. It’s why science has so many factors to account for and counteract the biases the observer brings to the table.
High time to call attention to mid-century pinup artist Duane Bryers’ vivacious plus-sized hillbilly wood nymph, Hilda—along with feminist blogger and activist Amy Pence-Brown’s cosplay thereof:

@Full Metal Ox: Huh. I swear I’ve seen a few of those pinups before, but I have no idea where.
Probably here, where they tend to get recirculated every couple of years or so.
Victorious parasol
Mrs Pargeter sounds a lot like Mrs Larkins. Voluptuous, lascivious, laughing, but her husband is alive , well and vigorously enjoying the plentiful meals and noisy, joyful rumpy-pumpy as often as possible. (ABC is currently showing in Oz the latest reruns of the Larkins cheery lawlessness and family chaos.)
@Full Metal Ox
Oh that is absolutely goals.
@oncewasmagnificent
They probably both owe a certain debt to Chaucer’s Wife of Bath, though Mrs. Pargeter only had the one husband. (She would point out that she had other lovers before Mr. Pargeter, but her late husband was her favorite.)
I’ve just had occasion to check out screenwriting software; so I’ve been comparing features. Thought people might find this one interesting.
It doesn’t just keep tabs on numbers of characters; it shows things like line count and screentime. No quite smart enough to do Bechdel Test yet though.
I have gone for this one as it has my favourite feature. It’s free.
ooh, I dig it, Alan!
Header image looks a bit like a plus-size model/influencer named Kenna Sharp, who is quite lovely (albeit without such fanciful hair).
@John:

She also looks quite a bit like Rose Quartz from Steven Universe (who turned out to be a marvelously tragic, messy, and complicated character, whose issues included The Colonizer’s Burden, the difficulties of allyship, Privileged Savior Syndrome, and emotional cowardice—but never a real or perceived inability to attract lovers; in fact, she was regarded in-story as a paragon of beauty and charisma:

@ crip dyke
In other news, a cafe I like has redecorated their loo. So have some brain bleach.
(From today’s court listings)
About time. Sherwood Forest was becoming a no-go area…
@Alan, is this almost certainly someone using a Mickey Mouse name (as it were) or is it actually possible that there really is a defendant so wonderfully, perfectly, ideally well-suited to the court???? (if so, I kind of feel they should acquit just because. When will such an opportunity arise again?)
@ opposablethumbs
Well they do use your legal name in criminal proceedings; but of course you can legally change your name here without any necessary formalities; so who knows?
It would be appropriate though in any event. One theory for the Robin Hood legend is that Robin Hood was a generic name for unidentified defendants; sort of John Doe and Jane Roe thing.
@opposablethumbs
I can see someone with the last name Hood living in Nottingham deciding it would be cute to name their kid Robin.
Turns out this article is kinda confusing if you misread “hunky Chads” as “husky Chads”.
@ the stop sign on the corner
Damn. Wish I had not missed this thread. So cool to torment that fucking troll. Yeah. I think it’s ok to shame misogynistic cishet men about their unattractive bodies. Others people, no. Wrong and cruel. Jerk cishet men, they deserve it. No use for you if you’re not hot.
@Allandrel –
These guys would also be big upset if these fat women bypassed them entirely and were happily living their lives unaffected by their opinion.
I had a conversation lately where I told a red-pill repeating guy that there were lots of guys who found bigger ladies attractive, but they don’t dare admit it because they’re afraid they’ll get shit from their friends for it. He couldn’t accept that there were men like that, or for that matter, women who like dadbods. What we’re attracted to is a funny thing like that. I think for most of us it’s a matter of “I know it when I see it”, and a lot of people are willing to see past looks and focus on a good personality, which is the one thing most if not all of the MRA crowd are missing. Well, that and hygiene. And social skills.
