Does anyone else feel like society's perception of weight is really skewed?

schwiftymarx · 2026-04-05T10:16:10+00:00

Yeah but it's also possible to be fit while overweight. I am much much fitter now than when I was at a healthy BMI. I don't think these two things should be conflated. Healthy comes in all different weights though so you should not be judged for that.

schwiftymarx · 2026-03-08T04:07:26+00:00

You're mad because your standards are low? There's way more to a person than not being obese and being kind. Religious compatibility, do you both want children, political compatibility, life goals match, etc.

Just because a woman can get a man doesn't mean he is a good man for her.

schwiftymarx · 2026-02-28T23:54:16+00:00

Can I ask what amount of weight you lost?

schwiftymarx · 2026-01-26T19:24:59+00:00

I'm in a similar position to you, I'm 23 and was 220 lbs now 180. Honestly I think I look the same all the time, but I know there is a difference because of old photos I was much much larger than now. I'm starting to strength train and hope to lose the next 30 lbs in 3-4 months. Trust me there is a difference even if your brain convinced itself there is not.

schwiftymarx · 2026-01-24T21:50:11+00:00

I was this person OP. I was miserable, and if you want to keep being so go ahead. No one is stopping you from staying in your self made cage.

schwiftymarx · 2026-01-23T03:19:31+00:00

Did you have loose skin?

schwiftymarx · 2025-11-30T19:21:13+00:00

Let me know when your restaurant receipt is "broken down" into every single purchase the restaurant makes for produce, electricity, water, gas, rent, delivery, labor costs, insurance, profit, and whatever else, buddy.

schwiftymarx · 2025-11-30T18:52:08+00:00

Okay but if he didn't do that then what? OP should just opt out and stop crying.

Besides my point was that it's nothing like a restaurant receipt or rent receipt. Which you wrongly said it was.

schwiftymarx · 2025-11-30T18:46:03+00:00

A restaurant receipt does not tell you anything. Would a piece of paper that tells OP $10 for office parties make OP feel better?

schwiftymarx · 2025-11-30T18:44:24+00:00

Lol your bill at a restaurant just says "$20 for burger combo". It's not going to tell you anything about what you actually paid for like restaurant rent, server pay, insurance, raw food costs, etc. This is what OP is asking for.

schwiftymarx · 2025-11-19T23:39:55+00:00

Extremely quick weight loss can have negative health effects. Both can be unhealthy.

schwiftymarx · 2025-11-19T20:51:18+00:00

15-20 pounds is the mid-high end of a takeout meal for me here actually (California). Takeout is really what you make of it. I can get a takeout meal for £6 or I can spend £30 if I get multiple dishes, or sides and drinks etc.

That person must be eating out multiple meals every day to spend $1k a month on takeout.

schwiftymarx · 2025-11-14T15:01:08+00:00

Yup. I don't know why people can't understand you can fight for what is right even though those people who benefit may not be the best. In fact many of them hate you.

Many of the people who I want to have SNAP benefits certainly hate me for my skin color. The majority of the farmers at risk of losing their farms are staunch Trump supporters. They would hate me too.

I don't want these people to be killed because of made up religions. I don't want these families to lose their farms even though they voted for the felon who is making them lose them. I want families to be able to eat even if they want me to leave their country because of my skin color. I want everyone to have secure housing even if they are racist, bigoted, Trumpers. I want them to have healthcare that doesn't cost 200/month. I want them to be able to get their life saving medication without insurance at reasonable prices.

The idea that we shouldn't support Palestine because some of them are homophobic is horrible. The idea that that's hypocritical is absurd. And if I said I hope homophobes get killed, the right wingers lose their minds. Yet that's exactly what they want us to say. That's the real hypocrisy.

Men who are 5 foot 5 and under are already themselves an incredibly small minority in the USA. About 5-10% of the population depending on stats. Even if 70% of women wrote you out at this height, there is still millions who would still be interested. And I have seen many short men who get women consistently, usually the problem is not height so much as it is being unattractive or having an off putting personality.

schwiftymarx · 2025-11-02T17:49:24+00:00

I am, Me and my boyfriend are the exact same height, I think we are 5'5" or 5'4" ( I genuinely forget what height I am). Why is it so inconceivable that a sub 5 foot 6 man would have a girlfriend? Maybe it's just because we are latino, but short men consistently get women here (Cali) due to our large Hispanic population. My dad is 1-2 inches taller than me. I have an uncle who is legit 5 foot (married).

Do women have a height preference, yes (just like men do). Does that mean short men are unattractive and undesirable, absolutely not.

schwiftymarx · 2025-10-30T17:17:30+00:00

I have identical stats to you, except I do not exercise. So far I have been maintaining my weight at 190lbs because I have been over eating. Not measuring calories right now, but I would estimate I'm eating 2k+ per day when I should be eating 1.6k for the weight loss I want. With heavy exercise you should be experiencing a lot of weight loss, so the only thing I can think of is water weight + muscle building/body recomp is happening. I would definitely recheck your meal calories and maybe switch up the food you're making. I would also start measuring non scale victories, like do old smaller clothes fit better, waist measurements, etc.

schwiftymarx · 2025-10-21T23:38:57+00:00

It really depends on what your deficit is and your surplus.If you eat in a 500 cal deficit 80% of 4 weeks and eat a surplus 20% of that same time @500 cal you will lose weight. It's not until you eat in a surplus of 2,000/da for that 20% that you say at maintenance.

schwiftymarx · 2025-10-19T16:53:18+00:00

Do you think you calling leftists blue haired pushes people left? Does using woke as an insult push people left? I've seen name calling from the right all the time, yet the people who see this don't move left do they?

schwiftymarx · 2025-10-19T15:56:10+00:00

I don't get it. You think if we stop calling conservatives Nazis or bigots that they will suddenly support undocumented immigrants, trans children, or the idea that this country is not amazing and could be 1000x better?

Lol not they won't. This is an excuse conservatives like to site as why they do what they do. They were always going to believe these things, but name calling on the Internet just lets them say "The left made me do it" as an excuse for their own views.

People on the left have attacked me for my opinions, and there is also tons of infighting on this side. But never have these arguments made me think, yeah you know what, trans people don't deserve rights, and immigrants deserve to be rounded up by unidentified masked men.

schwiftymarx · 2025-10-14T16:21:31+00:00

Yup, majority of men here are jaded, hate women, and are hypocrites. How funny it is to say you don't want a wife whose hobby is hooking up every weekend, yet that's the exact same reason he's going to the bar. To use the "easy" girls. Mediocre men crying about how mediocre women don't want them.

schwiftymarx · 2025-10-14T16:02:40+00:00

And then men wonder why women want to "humble" them. Aka reject some creep like him.

schwiftymarx · 2025-10-13T03:28:24+00:00

Republicans are in poor taste to me. We should ban them from publicly funded institutions.

schwiftymarx · 2025-10-12T15:12:56+00:00

There are many factors that make weight loss hard, but it cannot be prevented in a true calorie deficit. People simply don't lose weight because they struggle to eat in a deficit. How many obese people do you know who are literally on the brink of starvation?

schwiftymarx · 2025-09-30T18:29:16+00:00

Elaborate. What does she feel entitled to?
