    To add to this: pretty much nobody thinks skinny people are attracted. It’s a constructed ideal that many want to achieve, but few want to see in a potential partner.

    Source: used to be skinny and bullied for it

    Btw it also feels like shit. You’re tired all the time, you’re cold all the time, when you sit on something solid, like wood, it hurts because there’s no fat between your pelvis and the chair, and that’ll give you back pain.

    Just thought this was relevant because ‘it’s unhealthy’ is sometimes too abstract for people to care









  • Nothing I said could even be reasonably misconstrued to indicate that I do.

    I’m asking people to examine their potential biases when they are ok with the symptoms of the marginalisation of certain groups of people.

    The people who use what society reduces them to to their benefit in the few instances that they can arent to blame in the slightest btw. I just hope they’ll get past this without trauma, unlike every woman I know that dated an older man very shortly after becoming a legal adult.



  • Dating women who are just old enough to be legal but only while they look youthful. While being in a societal position where your life is public and you can do whatever you want, the latter of which many look up to. This normalizes dating women for looks, namely for looking young, instead of for having things in common. This doesn’t exactly improve how women are viewed. Youngness isn’t a woman’s biggest asset and we shouldn’t encourage the normalization of the view that it is. The fact that some women are complicit in this doesn’t change it.
