Time Text
Is weight really that big a deal?
Pull the ejection lever.
Weight is absolutely a huge deal for men.
Sorry, that's a woman who's saying, is weight really that big a deal?
Weight is an absolutely huge deal for men.
Yeah, if there's one thing that a man would want, absent all other things, it would be weight.
This is the one thing that men want more than anything else, is...
For a woman to not be obese.
I mean, tell me if I'm wrong.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
Because women can control that.
She can't control her facial structure.
She can't control some of the more details of fat distribution and so on.
She can't control her height.
You know, she can do a little bit to make her hair more attractive, but only so much.
But she can absolutely control.
Her weight and obesity is the single biggest turnoff for men, right?
Which is why the fat positivity thing is just part of the general depopulation agenda, right?
Is to make women as unattractive as possible.
So, weight is the single biggest factor in a woman being attractive or unattractive, and there isn't even really a close.
Second, right?
The obesity thing is like right at the top and somewhere, you know, like significantly down is some other factor, right?
But it is obesity.
No question, no real second, no debate whatsoever.
Now, of course, why would a man not be attracted to An obese woman.
And listen, I have sympathy with the obesity.
You know, of course, you could have grown up with your parents overfeeding you.
You might have grown up in a dangerous neighborhood where it was tough to walk and you couldn't get access to a gym.
It might have been a rough school where you had to run away because, right, it was dangerous, the bullies and so on, right?
So, this is not any condemnation, not any particular criticism because there's lots of reasons why someone, in this case, woman, Might be obese, and I say this with great and deep sympathy, but facts are facts, right?
A man is not going to be attracted in general to an obese woman for a variety of reasons.
One, it's harder for her to get pregnant.
It's harder for her to bring a baby to term.
It's harder for her to have a successful and healthy baby.
And it's harder for her to clean her body, depending on the level of obesity.
She is going to be more at risk of dying in childbirth.
She's going to be more at risk of dying in general.
She's going to have joint issues.
She's going to have hip issues.
She's going to have, you know, chronic pain is a big thing.
And diabetes is a big thing.
Early death is a big thing.
So it's just, it's a really, really bad deal for men to get with obese women.
And of course, it is a weight, you know, tons of exceptions.
The higher the weight, on average, the lower the IQ. And so, lower IQ is more likely to be difficult, volatile, obstructive, to act out, no particular third eye, no particular sense of external morality, and so on.
So, lower IQ is harder to negotiate with, it's harder to have a productive and healthy relationship with, and so on, right?
So, it's a bad deal for men.
It's a bad deal for men.
And, of course, a woman who is obese is, and I talk about this in peaceful parenting, is much more likely to give birth to obese children and have the children more likely to be obese.
So, it's bad.
It's bad all around.
It's just bad all around.
And of course, if you have, let's say you have an obese daughter, then your obese daughter is less likely to be able to attract a wealthy, which means your children are going to have fewer resources.
So it's just, it's just bad.
It's just bad as a whole.
And of course, since 1960, the average weight of men and women in the U.S. rose nearly 20%.
It's crazy.
And some of that's going to be aging, for sure.
It's just an aging population and so on.
But it's really bad all around.
Although, even when you age segregated, it's still higher, right?
So, men between the ages of 40 and 49 were nearly 27 pounds heavier on average in 2002 compared with 1960. Men between the ages of 50 and 59 were nearly 28 pounds heavier on average in 2002 compared to 1960. Men between the ages of 60 and 74 were almost 33 pounds heavier on average.
That's rough, man.
That is really rough on the joints and rough on the heart and so on, right?
And men have gained a little bit less weight than women have gained.
So, percentage-wise, not in terms of absolute terms.
But, yeah, it's really bad.
