No he's not, you're just superficial and pitiful...apparantly like 90% of this board and probably this sorry brainwashed nation.

*weeps for the future of mankind*

I stopped responding a while back because it was getting to the point where I was getting sick to my stomach reading the responses. Not joking, it honestly makes me physically ill how pitiful so many of you are. I have no idea how you can stand yourselves, or why anyone would ever associate with most of you.

Nothing has made me want to pray for mankinds salvation more than reading this forum, and I'm anti-religious.

Look, I don't agree with the jokes and ripping on her and the insensitive attitudes but if you're going to claim that a 300lb woman is just as attractive to you as a 120lb woman (assuming they are identical in all other aspects) then I'm going to flat out call you a liar.

No idea, I've never known a woman to go from 300 to 120 to compare her to hereself at various weights. I've known plenty of very attractive 200lb women, just like some very VERY ugly 120lb women. *shrug* weight really isn't much of a deciding factor to me in attractiveness. There are too many other qualities I'm biased about to let weight figure in. 😎

He's an idiot trying to be PC.. we are biologically wired to find certain traits more and less attractive. Pretty funny he's calling us "inhuman" and "shallow" while he casts away his *human* natural tendancies. What's even funnier is he can't seem to understand we think looks are just a small part of what makes someone and says that's all we care about. :roll:

I don't understand POW here - mostly pretty level headed about things - he must have a fat girlfriend and PO'ed about it in reality talking crap about her.. you know that animal instinct god gave us is seeping though.
 
I haven't read all 22 pages of posts here but I read enough to figure out what's going on (or what went on). IMHO, getting rid of a girl that gained a ton of weight fast - who wouldn't spend every waking hour trying to get rid of it - is a good thing. If she's wouldn't give the effort to fix it then her weight is the least of the issues. I would never have a relationship with someone that weak-minded and careless about life.

Being fat and unattractive and stupid is one thing. Being fat and unattractive or even attractive while having a straight and open and wanting-to-learn mind is another entirely.

Hehehe

Actually my current GF is probably the skinniest woman I've ever been with. In fact, for the first 6 years or so that I knew her I was completely turned off by her because I considered her anorexic. She's 5'8 and has gone between 120 and 140, depending on baby weight and activity level. At her lower weight there isn't an inch to pinch anywhere.

I just honestly do not consider weight a factor. Truly.

holy crap, 145lbs @ that height is FAT!. If NONE of it is muscle, then you're fat. To be considered not fat you'd have to be like muscular.

Not if it she's got big tits....



Big tits don't count when you're fat, that's like the one thing fat women have going for them.

Try Math, the universal language:

Her(huge) - you = her alone


how can she argue math?

lmao

this thread has me cracking up now.




One thing though, you said "She's gone"
So is it officially over now?
Did she move out of your apartment? Did you move out? What do you mean by what you said?
 
When they show a heavy girl on TV (slightly smaller than you girl) say something like " My god she's HUGE - she must be a size ##"

except replce ## with the size if your girl minus 4 i.e. ( she is size 22 minus 4 = 18 which is what you say)

Suggestions?

Edit: She went from Eva Longoria to Rosie O' Donnell

Edit2: I am not fat. I am athletic. and no preggers.

Update: She has turned down the offer to join me on my weekly runs.

Update2: I think its all over now. If she refuses to change then there's nothing i can do.

Update3: OMFG All the food is gone!!!!! I just came back to the apartment and all the food in the place has been cleaned out. WTF!!!!



Geesh Alkesh...

First off running is not for everybody. That might not even be the way to go about trying to help her if she does have a real weight problem.

Secondly, if you really have feelings for her or care about her, maybe you could show her more concern and affection and not put so much emphasis on the weight/body thing.

There are alot of reasons for sudden weight gain, hormonal, emotional, and a whole lot of other things we could list here. I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that she has become comfortable in your relationship and just "let herself go". Thats a bunch of crap. There are some women who deal with emotional stress differently and will avoid sexual intimacy by eating alot and gaining weight to keep their partner at bay, or others of the opposite sex from making sexual advances toward them. This is a known fact. Some women who are sexual abuse survivors do this late in life... and don't even realize they are doing it.

The hormonal issue can be Thyroid, pituitary, or Female hormones that are either lacking or too much of. Causing an increase in weight and hunger.

I think if you really care about her, you would take steps to listen to her and find out if there is something emotionally going on with her first. Suggest therapy, maybe you can go with her? Then suggest going to a doctor for some testing. This could demonstrate to her how much you care about her, and are concerned for her health and well being.

Just pushing her about her eating habits, trying to force her to do activities that you like, such as running... that just will cause her to feel even more self concious, and could possibly do harm to her self esteem.

And yea, I do think it is a bit Shallow of you to say some of things you have posted in this thread about her.

Maybe she is better off with out YOU! :disgust:
 
yeah old thread, just wanted to chime in and say he did the right thing

what's the difference between a giel who lets herself go and becomes bloated than a girl who starts doing drugs? they both lead to health problems and are self destructive. So just as I'd dump my GF if I found her doing drugs I'd dump her if she lets herself go and has no will to bring herself back into a healthy lifestlye. I dont want a family with a wife who's going to die of heart disease when my kids are 5 or 6 years old

I entirely agree.

Couldn't have said it better myself!
 
Man its her fault she wouldn't admit fault to what she is now and she will not take any responsibility or willing to change.....

The only way to convince her now is to make sure she realizes she is fat on her own without your intervention. Leave cluses that do not link back to you. (if she has co-workers, convince them to subtily suggest she is gaining weight.... etc.)

If this is a bar skank you were desparate enough to stay with, sure dump her. But if its someone you care about, you don't just dump them off because they are in a tough place; you help them get through it. If your relationship doesn't work out in the end because of this, at least you did your best to help them and probably truly helped them in the long run regardless of how you two turn out.

I know if my gf developed a weight, drug, or other serious problem, I would be at her side helping her. If you don't think your SO would do the same, maybe you should reconsider your relationship.
