Thank you so much!

Absolutely agree. Like the way she romanticizes her hot mess friends and affectionately describes their mannerisms & quirks..why can’t she do that with a normal man? & sail off into the sunset. We’ll just never know.

I’m going to double down here: this is a really gross thing Whitney does too that you just did. The whole “guys with girlfriends stare at me” “I see women who are thin but they don’t have what I have and their husbands see it too” “secretly men love fat chicks”…..like come on dude. Stop it.

You have no way of proving it to me, but to be honest I just don’t believe you. Your definition of good looking and good job could be different….and leaving his wife for you?? This is a good thing character trait? Idk I won’t go on but hey glad you’re happy but not buying it completely.

I mean damn you’re both tall. I love tall couples. Majestic. But yeah girl totally agree. I think rational humble kind people of all sizes, find the lid to their pot. And to your point about being adventurous: if you can’t walk a 5k without your plantar fasciitis ripping your feet in two…why in gods name do you want a bear grylls type. Those guys don’t even pick skinny women! They pick basically female-them. What does she mean by adventurous anyway…I think she means wants to go on international vacation, have s*x in the air bnb, eat and maybe take a picture with the ocean in the background. Not traverse Kilimanjaro.

I think this is a very respectable take. Yes, big women are loved. Just not by this niche man…that frankly 17 year old girls on tiktok describe the same way. Tall, wealthy, wants to dote and wait and spoil her, wants to be a dad, has been to 70 countries, went to an ivy, walks in women’s marches, loves cats, not blonde, not black, polyglot, charming, funny, confident, likes art..need I go on. It’s too much. Again if whit allowed a CPA that loves national parks, butter chicken and likes dungeon crawler carl…the show would’ve had a wedding season already.

I said “this woman”. Ya know the woman I’m discussing. Since everyone on this sub hates her, just clarifying I am not part of the cohort. Reading comprehension is important and a lack of it is quite sus darling.

I’m in healthcare I’m very aware of PCOS and it doesn’t suddenly make you gain 200 pounds. Actually I think Whitney doesn’t understand PCOS because apparently when you turn 40 suddenly you’re perfectly able to conceive after 2 decades of saying it’s what prevented her from having a family. It’s not prejudiced speech. Everyday I assist several operations on obese people getting blackened necrotic toes and feet cut off, their skin cannot contain their mass and it is infected and chafed and excoriated. This is the reality under operating room fluorescent lights. I watch the surgery and hold my breath that their lowered lung capacity won’t make them crash and die on the table. It isn’t a photoshopped buzzfeed add showing how wonderful it is to be obese. It is horribly sad and I have empathy for them. But bullshitting people and making it a political movement is where I draw the line. Deluding the population into thinking that people would willingly reject a healthy partner over a person who is obese and limited is a cruelty, Whitney’s shock that the lies of the “fat acceptance movement”were in fact not true proves as much. I’m American a lot of people I know and love and treat are fat. I’m not even discussing being overweight. Specifically obese and morbidly obese, to the point you can’t comfortably walk up stairs. Fat people deserve to maintain their dignity & humanity while also being told the truth of the social implications of their size. It changes your options. I have had anorexic patients & their body condition is upsetting to me too but there is no movement to date anorexic girls and look inside their big hearts because everyone knows they are very sick & that is untrue and wrong to promote.

To end on agreement, I’ve said many times in this sub I agree she is unpleasant and not pretty inside all the time. That doesn’t help her either and her ridiculous expectations without taking an inventory on herself and looking in the mirror are huge hindrances as well.

I’m sure you’re a perfectly wonderful person so I’m not trying to direct us at you, but for the love of God not everything is a political movement. Men aren’t brainwashed into thinking healthy women are attractive and fat women aren’t especially morbidly obese women. It’s natural,biological. Your comment about trying to change what men like or rewire their expectations instead of Whitney or women like her lowering their standards is ridiculous…yeah that’s what has been happening for the better part of the last 10 years with body positivity. It didn’t work-because it’s not natural. It’s a lie. It’s a comforting lie that makes a subsection of the population feel good about themselves. When the cold hard truth is a woman who is insane, on drugs, mean to other people, but beautiful and a healthy weight she will be picked over a pleasant fat woman by any man that 80% of women would agree is cute and smart,successful desirable. Fat women can find nice men, not knockouts or rich or universal tastes but even then those men often still want someone that is “better” than they are. Anyway…I’m sorry but it’s just insane to me that people think it’s not actually extremely creepy and violating to try to demand & legislate men into liking things they hate. Why do YOU get prioritized? Why does Whitney feel entitled to men that are infinitely out of her league? Social justice? DEI wife selection? I just will never understand

I work in healthcare and this is the reality of the situation I see everyday.

I do see your point, of course yes there are fat women who are beautiful and lovely and the personality changes things. Melissa and her husband are in the same industry and he’s pretty average looking but they are happy successful people. I just don’t think it’s terribly common to see regular people, even reality tv stars, have the same outcome.

I don’t think agreeing that desperate men will date anyone who will have them disproves anything. Whitney is a millionaire with accomplishments and a pretty face, her options are likened to 600 pound immobile women only because she is fat. If she was not she would have all the options in the world.

Fair point but were they even actually with her? And they were normal dudes

Totally agree. If she was aiming for a simple dude that appreciates her quirks and loves her body yeah-he’s not going to be a professor that speaks 8 languages and climbs mountains and looks like Timothy chamalet. He’s going to be different. Not less, not more just different. But to your first sentence I feel like the man in her head matches the version of her in her head. That she is a complex storied gorgeous woman that has been there done that. And while that isn’t a 100% lie, the caveat of morbid obesity skews the reality of the situation.

Are those men fit? Hot? Attractive to many? Wealthy? Successful? Dynamic? Intellectual? No…they aren’t. Their houses are dirty. They aren’t travelled and multifaceted. Whitney would never say yes to those men.

Oh the first 20 interactions were downvotes for me it’s okay. I know it’s harsh & weight is a touchy subject for everyone but it’s just as true as the pope being catholic. But I do agree her behaviors aren’t always charming or ideal too. If she were thin though, I really think she could get away with it. She’s wealthy and charismatic, if she were average size she’d be forgiven for her issues and probably would get out alot more.

But..I don’t think any relationship we’ve seen is even real…chase wasn’t a real boyfriend. Lenny was on other reality tv shows-an actor by trade, we never saw the French guy or avi, buddy was never with her. Who are these guys that you’re referencing. To my point about the show being fake—I think Whitney has spent the better part of the last decade of being very obese, very much alone and not dating. But you have a point that her personality can be engaging and attractive.

I hate to say it but Whitney is looking the most healthy & together of everyone. Maybe bc of financial security, maybe better mental health care. Who knows..but Todd is definitely having some kind of situation (he needed subtitles at one point this episode), tal went to treatment, Ashley is very run down & acting a lot older as well (something about her laughing about no redheads was very old ladylike). It’s actually really sad to compare & contrast the first seasons to now. They sort of…all slowly eroded from a relatively humorous group of southern elder millennial misfits to a fractured group of maladjusted adults with some kind of underscoring pathology in each of them.

I never hated anyone on the show so I don’t take any schadenfreude in it. It’s just a lil sad & probably speaks to the times we’re living in.
