My pleasure.

Not heroin chicks, not bodybuilder chicks, and no fatties.
Just healthy hot chicks.

Yeah, let’s all pretend that being a fat slob with no self-control or self-discipline is healthy and empowering. I mean, we pretend that Biden got 81 million votes, that men can be women and women can be men, that 8-10% inflation is good for the middle class, that all whites are racists but no BIPOC people are.

We live in an age of lies, sadly made possible by the greatest vehicle for sharing knowledge ever created: the Internet.

Big Pharma loves fat people—and they want more of them!

In my past feminist life I would have raged at your post, but the reality is that the women you posted are beautiful. The one at A&F looks ludicrous. I feel sorry for her because she obviously is delusional in thinking she’s hot. Reality seems to have bypassed a large chunk of the population.

I had to do a double take. At first I thought the poor woman’s head was on backwards!

Ayn Rand wrote a little read masterpiece that explains what is happening with current culture.

https://www.amazon.com/Romantic-Manifesto-Philosophy-Literature-Shakespeare/dp/0451149165

One of her insights (both obvious and brilliant at the same time) was that art was “a selective recreation of reality” that reflected the values of the artist.

Advertising is a form of art—and choosing to portray overweight people in ads is choosing the value of sickness and misery.

Ayn Rand argued that evil people hate good because it is good.

They hate beauty because it is beautiful.

I’ve never seen anything like it frankly some demographic groups are so friggin fat

Black women some black men certain Latinos and lower class whites

And some higher income whites

Fat as hell

It’s gotten to where being just 2030 pounds overweight is thin

It starts young you see it just go to Walmart or Dollar General and a suburban or rural area and it’s all over the Country except in high altitude places where they have the advantage of higher metabolism and it’s even spread to Europe but not as bad as here

Serial illegitimacy and obesity are like twin sisters

Lower income white people do not Mary anymore not much anyhow and alienated fat white girls with blue hair who would’ve been a target for black guys 20 years ago now become lesbian and nonbinary

It’s gonna take heavy lifting to put Jeannie back in the bottle folks

They’re fit and healthy. (at least externally)
Guys should be similar, not looking like those women, but fit and healthy.
Those pushing the “Dad bod” need some TRT and time in the gym.

A&F can no longer sell clothes to skinny teenagers because skinny teenagers are in short supply compared to 20 years ago.

Hell, teens who are only a tad overweight are in short supply these days.

I can’t tell you how many times I have passed clothes in Walmart and similar “variety” stores (because I haven’t been to a mall in ages—too much crime) and saw some eye catching things, only to find they only come in plus sizes.

My ideal weight is 115. Right now, I am 119 and I am not happy about that. At my worst, I was about 132 and was disgusted with how I looked. But I had things going on during the times when I was heavy— foot injury, a big cyst, and/or taking anti=depressants, which I quickly saw were doing me no good and so I decided to do rational emotive therapy on myself. The foot healed and i could take walks again and the cyst was removed and my digestive system flow freely again.

This girl is not attractive. Her thighs are thicker than my waist. No one’s thighs should be thicker than any adult’s waist, not even a tall, muscular big-boned woman compared to a small frame petite woman. That is just unhealthy.

“You don’t happen to be of Polynesian descent do you?”

If gas and groceries get any higher, I may have to do some cultural appropriating of my own.

BBQ sauce, anyone?

I was never diabetic, thankfully. My immune system destroyed the filters (glomeruli) of my kidneys which created a huge domino effect throughout the rest of me. My body is still a big cascading failure, but my brother gave me a kidney in 2014. It’s a miracle that it’s still working, honestly.

With any luck, I won’t be sitting next to another dialysis machine any time soon. I wouldn’t wish hemo on my worst enemy.

I also love how my phone tried to auto-correct that to, “enema.” Thanks Google, you sickos.
