Married at First Sight UK Double standards

Apparently, women only liking men of a certain height is simply a "Preference" and shaming her for her preference is "Misogyny"

But a man only liking women below a certain weight threshold? well! that's not a "Preference" its flat out misogyny and is based upon men wanting to control women's bodies!

You know.. despite the fact that a man's genetics dictate how tall he will get, yet while there are glandular issues and other things which affect a woman's weight..
MOST people can control their weight through diet and exercise..

A man can't simply work out at the gym and go from being 5'7 to 6'4 by putting in effort..

The other double standard here is, if a man lies about his height on a dating app, its used as a "Red Flag"
But if a woman lies about her weight? Men are expected to ignore the lie and simply accept her as she is..

Its a frankly disgusting double standard to be sure.

Reality tv is gynocentric shite.

All dating shows are centred around the XX's demands.

It fills me with disgust when they try and demonized men for being attracted to healthy women. It's disgusting. Vile. Hypocritical, moronic nonsense as usual by these brain dead imbicilces

These shows pander to women's feeling because no self-respecting guy would waste their time watching mafs.

realistically a fat women can get some more attractive guy to have sex with her and/or have some real chance of dating a guy like that, meanwhile a short guy most likely wouldn't have the chance of dating a significantly more attractive women than him, its not impossible, but the odds of a fat woman dating a kind of attractive chubby chaser man are significantly higher than a short man dating an attractive, say taller woman.

so it is a double standard for sure, but its also kind of how things go in reality, its a reflection of it.

Comparing "slim/healthy" to height is also a false equivalence. In almost all cases, you can control your weight through diet and exercise but you can't really do anything about height.

Based on my own evidence, a lot of the attractiveness standards I see for men are generally not in their control: height, face, broad shoulders, hair on the head. Nobody actually cares that much about your bodyfat, musculature, proportions, skin, bodyhair etc. (unless you're too overweight or underweight) except for maybe primarily gay and bisexual men.

That said in real life, I've seen that as a man what you do and what your status is more important on how others perceive. As someone who is quite fit and generally considered good looking, attractiveness definitely does play a role with strangers, especially women, treating me much better. However, your status is still much more important.

I can imagine those melted porkers playing hard to get with jack reacher (Alan Ritchson) looking types. Their delusions of grandeur is that bad.

marriage shouldn't exist (except within a religion but never as a law). marriages or the equivalent should take many years of dating first. I was a thin vegan before psychiatric malpractice made me gain 100 pounds. When I was thin it was normal to date thin girls. Now that I'm fat I've dated a diabetic woman. If a woman has a physical preference like tall or 6 pack abs, men can have their preferences too.

So they were saying that it's ok for men to have preferences as long as the preference is for "curvy" women. If the preference is for thin/healthy women, then the men can't have a preference. I understand the situation.

C'est mort, je suis pas alterophile sexuel

Elle peut être plus grande que moi mais pas plus grosse ou plus musclé mais elle peut être plus forte que moi sans aucun problème, c'est au delà de mes goûts Chacun fait ce qu'il veut de sa vie mais on ne m'obligera pas à changer mes goûts 🤣
