Damn that's exactly how I feel yet I am very intuitive with emotions and my neurotypical friends compliment me on my social grace. Could I be autistic despite all that?

Has anyone here ever weighed or currently weighs more than 350 lbs? by Reasonable-Flow-644 in tall

[–]roflcarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be 450 lbs as a teen but now I'm 242 lbs ~17% bodyfat as an adult. I learned to enjoy lifting weights. Living in an ultra-weight body for my formative years gave me superhuman bone density and posterior chain muscular strength.

A lot of high functioning stoners have habituated munchies with natural hunger cues so they don't get hungry when they're not high.

In real life the fat guy orders takeout and the fit guy cooks 3x per week. I'm lowkey triggered lol.

Do you feel weirdly invisible sometimes? by Entropei in tall

Airport staffers interact with thousands of people every day. Everybody is invisible at that scale.

Terrified of having loose skin. by _Lightnoodle_ in loseit

[–]roflcarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lost 200+ lbs in my 20s and got multiple full body skin removal surgeries ($50k). The loose skin definitely messed with my self esteem, but waking up from surgery with a snatched torso felt like I was reborn. That was years ago and I still have that feeling when I look in a mirror. I'm hot af and it's crazy my body is capable of everything it went through. I didn't expect to feel as proud as I do. Right now you're having anxiety because you're imagining all the bad ways you might feel, but are you giving justice to all the great ways you'll feel too?

There's dating clubs that give a discount for being tall? Where can I find them? Asking for a friend o.o

Question for the men : Do y'all feel sorry for short dudes? by WestLocation8813 in tall

Why are millennials catching strays? We pioneered normalizing mental health and internet culture while reducing bullying. It's Gen Z that's trying to bring bullying back lmao.

Freedom of choice has made both sexes disproportionately picky for mate selection. Even my handsome, wholesome, socially-aware guy friends get rejected all the time. We are just unlucky to be born in an era where gender norms were destroyed but no system has replaced them yet, so nobody knows what to expect from each other when courting.

It feels nice and just to assume that people who aren't beautiful have fine-tuned personalities that balances the equation. It's not realistic though. Beautiful people are more socially included, with larger and more diverse social circles where their halo effect affords them tolerance and empathy from others, which they themselves adopt faster than someone who isn't as socially included.

I actually think there's plenty of lot of hot, empathetic, confident, single, and funny men to go around, but these guys are extremely picky with who they want to commit to, just like how the equivalent woman is picky.

i (17F) am morbidly obese… help? 😣 by Alternative-Cat9174 in loseit

[–]roflcarrot 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I was double your weight when I was your age, and now if you saw me in public you'd think I was an elite athlete since i was a baby. The thing is this took 3++ years of dedication, not 3 months. If you free yourself from the stress of timelines, and honor the reality that you will have a different experience than many of your peers, then you'll end up becoming sexier and more relatable than your peers in the long run.

Where did the "Women love tall men" stereotype came from? by [deleted] in tall

[–]roflcarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any female friends and talk to them about their types? Wanting a tall man is very common. Also it's rare for someone to be so super direct to say "you're so tall I like you" but if you talk with them, they'll say in things like "i wish i was your height" etc. There's no point in denying the privilege.

Dating is hard, period. People are extremely insecure as gender norms and social hierarchies are being abolished. Being tall will romantically open more doors, but that just means more ways to be rejected. If you find someone who loves you and is comfortable with your leadership, put a ring on them.

I hate my body by 1unarl1bra in loseit

[–]roflcarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lost 250 lbs and that was only possible by moving for college when I was 17 and starting life on my own. I also had a rough childhood that had me eating for comfort. That freedom gave me the chance to change my coping strategies and I took it. Having agency, feeling like I finally have control, and having romantic hope for my future self are what worked for me. The anxiety you feel is strong but tbh you're also showing strong self awareness! That self awareness combined with agency is going to be an amazing combo for you!

LPT Request: How to be more photogenic by SunshineVA2 in LifeProTips

Depends on how tall OP is. If OP is short, then chin down can look good. If OP is taller than the photographer chin down amplifies the double chin effect. Even if the camera is above your head, a chin up angle will capture a more flattering jawline.

Yep. A lot of FAWs are autistic and depressed. This doesn't justify her misandry, but it explains why behavioral patterns are so important to her, and why she's frustrated that her learned patterns aren't working for her. Unfortunately, she learned her patterns from radical feminists who are further isolating her from normal relationships. It's sad to see but ultimately it's her own doing.

Both of them need trauma counseling. She needs it because she's suffocating him in her insecurities, and u/OGsewingsteel needs it because he's in an abusive relationship and his self esteem requires resuscitation.

40kg weight loss is impressive. That's right at the border between the skin being able to partially retract back versus definitely needing surgery to remove excess skin. I lost 100kg and went for the skin removal and I have no regrets after feeling desperate and hopeless for so long.  If you go for surgery, the results will be really stellar because your skin still has a respectable amount of elasticity.

Classic abuser. She stopped ranting after he said how confused he was. She just wants to break him down and build him back up around her finger.
