"I'm an incredibly cruel and shallow asshole that demands that everyone conforms to my beauty standards and my love for a woman will only ever be skin deep and transactional. Why can't I keep a gf?"
Gad damn, even the dudes on that site that have girlfriends are miserable and hate their perfect waifu the moment they change slightly physically (or don't change enough if the dude suddenly decided he likes a different aesthetic). They'll complain that women only date muscular men, then complain when women don't date muscular men. They'll complain about "ugly" women but at the same time complain that they themselves aren't attractive enough to get girls. They're incredibly shallow while complaining that every woman they date is shallow. The lengths they go to avoid self-reflection must be wild.
The misunderstanding of The Substance in particular made me laugh. The film is critiquing the exact shallow obsessions these dorks chase, and instead of taking a step back and asking themselves "Are we the baddies?" They just whine about how it's not a film about how hard it is for men to go through rejection. As if their isn't already a million things like that in media, and as if it's only men that go though embarrassing dating troubles.
Anyway here's a link to the site if you hate yourself: https://inshapetoday.com/
True.
I was dealing with this a year+ ago, my partner gained a few kilos and was upset about it. I Googled how to support her and make her feel better, and everything on Reddit and Quora was "I don't love my wife now, how do I give her an eating disorder".
God I'm hella glad I don't date men.
At the risk of sounding patronizing; I'm glad there are people out there that support each other instead of tearing each other down. We need more of that in this world.
I want to say, when you have someone who's always been in your corner and always will, not nitpicking them over stupid shit and saying a few things to lift them up is the most uber selfish thing possible. I say this as a guy who's not always been the most perfect boyfriend in past relationships, being a dickhead comes back to bite you. Maybe some younger guy here will see it.
Don't worry male friendships can do that to you as well.
