You sound like you're in deep denial. For my spouse, those 30lbs make him cross over into the obesity category. And medically speaking, it is in fact a disorder. The fact that physical appearance is a major factor for women and men in terms of sexual desire isn't a crazy idea. It's how humans have worked since time immemorial. |
I didn’t read the whole thread but I think to be honest there’s some truth to feeling in the mood when you feel good about yourself. I feel in the mood when my husband seems genuinely attracted to me and makes comments about how I look nice even when we are obviously not going to have sex (like I am walking out the door and the kids are right there). I feel dramatically less like having sex when I feel reduced to “person who has a vagina” which is how I feel if he whines or “jokes” about not having as much sex as he wants.
I am genuinely curious if men think saying “I’m horny” or “it’s been x long since we had sex” is initiating? |
Please feel free to not have sex with me. ![]() |
In a sense, maybe, but the ideals of beauty have changed, radically, over the years, and politics and fashion have always gone hand-in-hand. Acting like "fat is ugly because biology" is a truth is actually quite backwards. Fat mates had ample access to food, which would indicate good hunting and likely adequate access to resources for potential offspring. So while, yes, the idea that we're culturally-conditioned to think certain body types are sexy has been a thing since "time immemorial", what that has actually meant over the years isn't the balloon boob, ozempic-thin, Kardashian-assed standard people think of today. Smarter people recognize this conditioning, and can actually decondition and learn how to expand their sexual palate. Sorry you're not one of them. Sucks to be your spouse. |
. You can’t undo 300,000+ years of evolution. Delusional. Your rant about fake people now is irrelevant and you’re really stretching to somehow add to your non argument that health ≠ beauty somehow. |
Stop 10 random people on the street and ask them if they’d rather have sex with Gisele vs Lizzo. |
DP. Is this meant to undermine PP’s point because you think people will pick Gisele? It doesn’t undermine the point and misses it entirely. |
Do you think the Kate Moss waif look was sexually attractive in eons past? |
The #1 mistake men make is after sex. This is the time for cuddling, telling her how great it was, how wet it was, etc. But unfortunately that's when a lot men just become completely disengage and just want to get up and leave. If you are that man, fix your post sex attitude and your wife will want you more. When women enjoy sex with you, they are very generous. |
Assuming the false dichotomy that we must think Kate Moss is perfect because I am not sexually attracted to my obese spouse is beyond stupid. Try again. |
By itself - No. Along with other things like complimenting your wife etc during non-sexual times - Yes |
Very few men, if any expect their wives to look like a model or resemble the so called beautiful women from hollywood or tv. Most men don’t look like professional athletes. So it would be stupid for them to have very high standards. We just want our spouses to be h/w proportionate. |
No problem, I'm not a fatty fscker / chubby chaser / pork pounder / whale wrangler. |
Google rubenesque and get back to me, clownshoes. What you consider "beautiful" may be unhealthy af (I was "gorgeous" and anorexic at the same time). And what you consider ugly might be perfectly healthy (I've been "overweight" and even "obese" with perfect labwork and better health than thinner versions of me). Just admit that your kink is fatshaming. You don't need to try to rope 300,000+ years of evolution into it. Just own what you're into. |
And I don't fsck little boys with basic tatebetch mentality, so we're good. |
