    1. Appreciate the natural human body as-is. Reject perfection and curated beauty.
    2. To get you must be willing to give.
    3. Some of my friends are indeed very attractive. lol

        Obesity is a result of many things. It’s mostly hereditary whatever you are born with, so the comment you are answering is right.

        Just like other cases of “unhealthy”. Just like with them, though, it’s possible to find one’s optimum in food and sports and sleep to feel better, and a person who feels better is usually more attractive.

        But looking like models you can find in the interwebs is just not possible if you are not already like them.

        No one mentioned obesity except you.
        Stop projecting your own self-hatred into others.

        There a vast amount of space between unhealthy physique and the unrealistic beauty standards in media.

          I’ve met people far more beautiful than most you can see in mainstream media, let alone adult materials.

          (And in case one bitch with ASPD is stalking me, no, I don’t mean her ; that is, this is true for her too.)

          There is also a vast amount of space between a normal human body and the bodies that most Americans now have. That has nothing to do with the unrealistic beauty standards in media (which is also a thing)

          Obesity is bad, and it annoys me when people start defending it as being beautiful. It’s not, it will kill you in loads of unpleasant ways.

          Get healthy, exercise, eat less, eat less sugars

            Nobody in the thread above mentioned obesity. Nobody is saying you have to be attracted to obese people. Or disputing that it’s unhealthy.

            It remains true that there is a lot of space between this extreme and the extreme portrayed in media. Body weight is not the only standard, it’s one of many.
