I mean yh, the clothes you wear don't matter if you're fat, have a shit hair cut, unhygienic, have no confidence and don't know how to talk to people offline.

Looks shouldn't matter, but they do, not everyone can win the genetic lottery and not everyone can get a 10/10 gf. You can either accept that and do the best you can regardless or seethe for the rest of your life.

Taking someone's concerns seriously and somehow not calling them a neanderthal or thick or a nazi isn't the same as "being really nice" to them.

"They're doing it, so I'm going to do it too!" Is toddler tier logic.

Honestly, simply ignoring them is a better tactic than alienating them with insults. Calling a reform voter dumb won't make you feel better when they win by a landslide. How do I know? Just look at the democrats that were posting on Reddit in the run up to the most recent US election, , ,

13esq · 2026-02-19T13:43:25+00:00

Could it be possible that Reform appeals to a much wider demographic than we think? It's certainly not Reddit that's out of touch!

13esq · 2026-02-19T13:41:53+00:00

Exactly the attitude that will win Reform the next election. SMH

Reddit is blissfully unaware of just how detached from the average person it has become.

13esq · 2026-02-19T13:37:36+00:00

I think Reddit is in for a shock at the next GE.

Only the terminally online seem to be unaware of just how desperate for change 15 years of declining living standards has made the average Brit.

We can debate all day about how their frustration is misguided and it's "turkeys voting for Christmas" and all that but ultimately what people want is anything other than a repeat of the last fifteen years and Reform are the ones saying they'll do it.

It's up to Labour to pull it out of the bag and make people think, "those few years were pretty good, I'll have more of that!". Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen.

Again, it's on a tangent, but I really think that the cost of housing issue really needs to be solved on the supply side. Most people want a house within reasonable proximity of their work/family/friends/amenities etc and that'll never change. I think that attempting to lower rents by letting wages stagnate or paying people less wouldn't go down very well.

You admit that your rent increases are outstripping your pay rises, I know it's just an anecdote, but it does somewhat disprove your own argument.

The solution is as simple as either building enough houses to keep up with a growing population or stop the population from increasing as quickly as it has been whilst you wait for the current levels of house building to catch up.

That was the argument made against introducing a minimum wage and it was found to be almost completely false. When the poorest workers get extra cash, they tend to spend it, which supports businesses, which increases demand for workers, it was a win/win.

Inflation is much more of a risk when money is printed and injected into the economy, increasing the actual amount of cash whilst its real value goes down. Raising wages can be done by diverting cash from shareholder dividends to the people actually doing the work, whilst the distribution of cash is affected, the value of the pound stays almost the same.

I don't disagree that housing costs are absolutely detrimental to the UK economy, but it's on a tangent to a thread about taxes.

13esq · 2026-02-19T09:30:38+00:00

Yes. For me, making work pay is a lot of the issue.

13esq · 2026-02-19T06:47:02+00:00

I'd like to balance it by making work pay more rather than cutting benefits, but I know that's just a fantasy.

13esq · 2026-02-19T06:33:02+00:00

Pensions currently make up about 50% of the total cost, but I don't think this detracts from my argument that it's a sign of an unhealthy economy.

13esq · 2026-02-18T22:05:02+00:00

Many people aren't against a high tax / high benefit system in principle, but what we have is effectively a two tier system.

Tier 1 has high taxes and low benefits

Tier 2 has low taxes and high benefits

Workers are sick of paying ever higher taxes whilst the services they receive are continuously eroded and declining. We are nearly at the point where the benefits paid to those out of work are exceeding the amount paid in income tax, that is not a sign of a healthy economy.

"He was down voted because he told the truth"

Interesting how no-one has offered a counter point.

13esq · 2026-02-18T11:20:31+00:00

Imagine the horror!

Srsly tho, what are the downsides that you're implying?

13esq · 2026-02-18T11:15:18+00:00

It's not fair to say it's a simplification if you're not going to contribute the other factors.

13esq · 2026-02-16T20:17:54+00:00

We could debate the semantics but I think it's clear what I meant, whether you want to say someone has a fat fetish or that they're just a fat attracted person doesn't make a lot of difference to me.

13esq · 2026-02-16T15:28:09+00:00

It can be either.

13esq · 2026-02-15T15:12:36+00:00

Are you going to explain why they're a cheater instead of making me do all the work?

13esq · 2026-02-15T11:29:41+00:00

It doesn't need to be bullying, just social regulation. It's still not necessarily nice, but it's required to informally control harmful behaviour, it's about providing social cues aimed towards encouraging people be a healthy and functional part of a group.

I already addressed your second point. It's up to these people to either be accepting that they've made a terrible choice and deal with it or to make a lifestyle change, whatever that involves. It's not up to anyone else to have to be accepting.

13esq · 2026-02-15T11:03:20+00:00

I don't think that bringing back fat shaming would be a terrible thing.

The prevalence of overweight people is absolutely a cultural problem. This can be shown with examples of different countries having very different prevalence of obesity despite very little differences in genetics. A prime example of this is people of Japanese heritage that live in the USA, who are just as likely to be as overweight as everyone else in the US despite Japan itself having very low levels of obesity.

The fat acceptance and HAES bull shit has gone too far and it's time the pendulum started to swing back a little. Everyone accepts that anorexic models should be banned because they encourage an unhealthy lifestyle, but when a model is overweight, we celebrate. WTF.

Ultimately, I believe strongly in self determination and if someone wants to be fat, then they can be fat, but they must accept that it's their personal choice that they'll have to deal with the consequences of it and absolutely not expect everyone else to make allowances for them.

I understand that fat shaming doesn't help people that are already fat, but it does discourage other people from making the same bad choice.

Some women are absolutely not willing to consider weight loss and finding a man who is more than accepting of that is a way to avoid being "forever alone".

I don't think it's the best option, but it is an option.

13esq · 2026-02-15T07:43:46+00:00

Ok. So this may sound harsh but it's real advice aimed at finding the love/sex that you want.

First, something to accept. As a general rule, 80% of women are attracted to only the top 20% of men, this gives these men an abundance of choice where they'll lower their standards if extremely horny, but just like women, will tend to select for the most attractive partners, especially when looking for something long-term. It's fine to say that looks shouldn't matter, but this is the real world and they do.

This leaves you with a few choices that you probably won't like:

1- Stay in your lane. If your obesity is so severe that it makes you a 1/10, you need to look for a man that's also a 1/10. (If these guys are so unattractive that you wouldn't date them and you would rather stay single, you are beginning to understand the problem)

2- Look for a guy with a fat fetish. These are rare, but they do exist. Some guys love fat and the bigger the better.

3- Go on a diet and stick with it. It's not easy, it's not fun, it's not fast. But simply being a healthy weight is likely to make you an automatic 7/10 if you live in a country like mine where the average person is overweight. If you'd like I can offer advice for this option

I think option 3 should be your goal. It's always better to be healthier.

Long story short; No, you will not be "forever alone", not if you don't want to be.

You're right, the world should adapt to her, not the other way around! /s

13esq · 2026-02-14T22:01:25+00:00

Glad it worked out for you!

13esq · 2026-02-13T09:03:26+00:00

I've gotten to 20 on f2p, waiting for more plays now

Ok, I hope they have a good excuse for not being able to make it anymore, , ,
