I know that this isn’t technically Men’s Rights per se, but with all the inequality that guys (and girls!) face, some positive, encouraging stuff on this sub might be nice :)

maluminse · 2018-04-18T01:50:50+00:00

That is nice.

I often say > 6' = > dd.

Somehow it's acceptable to ask, on dating site applications, your height.

A woman asked, her second question, how much I made. My response was whats your bra size. She didn't respond. Goal achieved.

mensmod · 2018-04-18T04:54:11+00:00

A more important message would be, "Its okay. You don't have to provide, you are allowed to have failings, you are allowed to rely on your partner for a change. You don't have to always be the rock."

Tom_Doniphan · 2018-04-18T05:51:17+00:00

Body positivity is a poor message if that message does not include healthy weight. Fat guys should work to lose weight, just like fat girls.

Paladin2903 · 2018-04-18T05:28:04+00:00

Nice message and all, but just more emotion-based virtue signaling. Kind of like the people that look at a burn victim (who had her entire face erased) and call her beautiful. She (sadly) clearly isn’t, anymore, but people just say it to be nice.

cloudbuster23 · 2018-04-18T07:05:44+00:00

This subreddit is sounding more and more like a feminist group for men. All this "body positivity", calling out "racism" and talking about "real feminism" as if the movement is really something we should strive to replicate.

I get that beauty standards/ideals for men are unfair and innate (height and endowment mainly). But saying your body is inherently "perfect" and "handsome", including acne, stretch marks and tummys isn't a good message. Especially as those things are not innate and mostly fixable. A lot of that is just objectively unattractive and you need to work hard to fix or compensate for. Nature of reality. This reminds me of the entitlement to be found attractive some feminists think all women have.

Moonvie · 2018-04-18T03:36:25+00:00

Words are wind.

There are also people who date others simply to virtue signal. Which is actually unfair to both parties. "Look at me! I'm SO not shallow!"

CynicalRage · 2018-04-18T05:08:24+00:00

That’s all true but earning the muscle/health will make you feel much better personally. No excuse to not achieve all you can. I pity the man who will never learn the strength his body can wield.

goodbeertimes · 2018-04-18T07:55:23+00:00

NOPE. Men don't buy this. Fat women that bought into this kind of messaging have become fatter, uglier, more entitled, crying harpies, unattractive and completely useless.

Men, dig your heels, work hard on your bodies/school/job and try to achieve great success. It's women that buy into shit like shortcut to fame overnight; for us, the road ahead is hard, long and difficult. Let's get to work.

SqishyRina · 2018-04-18T11:42:28+00:00

Unfortunately, just a short glance at this girl's twitter will show that this is all virtue signalling fluff that she likely doesn't even stand by.

I don't have a problem with people being shallow, but I find it really frustrating when they're not even honest about it.

deville05 · 2018-04-18T05:51:12+00:00

i dont want to love myself. im tired of loving myself. I love myself once a day. need someone else to love me. thats why im not eating what I want to eat and doing something I dont want to do and lifting weights when I'd rather not.

TheFoxxi · 2018-04-18T06:30:30+00:00

Bullshit. The world is vain as hell. Get in the fucking gym and be someone. Everyone respects the guy who clearly puts work in to better himself and his appearance. This type of thinking is cancerous to young men because they will learn the hard way that its not true.

chambertlo · 2018-04-18T06:43:50+00:00

Says the girl who probably wouldn't date a dude that was under 6', wasn't ripped and didn't have clear skin. It's one thing to say something like this, it's another thing to practice it.

Elvick · 2018-04-18T13:15:12+00:00

If everyone's handsome, no one is.

People need to stop with this crap. Same people say "looks don't matter!" but then turn around and do the "everyone is beautiful!" spiel. No.

Everyone is not beautiful. That's just reality. Not being beautiful doesn't mean you don't have worth or don't deserve love. These people are placing all our importance on being seen as attractive without realizing it.

FruityChapstick · 2018-04-18T07:09:38+00:00

Woman here. I've dated tall, short, fat, REALLY fat, and super skinny guys. Not one would be considered hot or in shape by most definitions. Confidence is always more attractive than anything physical, to me. Own what you got, while working towards what you want.

kantomasterspencer · 2018-04-18T06:32:10+00:00

She might be right though, maybe we could stand to be a little more positive about stuff sometimes.

Reunn · 2018-04-18T15:53:28+00:00

Empty platitudes to perpetuate unsustainable terrible lifestyles. It’s ok to be short or tall, these are attributes which are beyond our control. To insist that attributes under our control are perfect when they are objective indicators of being unhealthy or are universally unattractive (acne) is the height of delusion.

Fuck off with this safe space bullshit.

mwobuddy · 2018-04-18T03:23:23+00:00

Its like women who say "I want a nice guy", but always seem to date "assholes". Platitudes are nice. But if she's not putting her money where her mouth is, that's all it is.

Im not going to get all #feels over this post unless she shows she's willing to adhere to her stated values.

Gawernator · 2018-04-18T11:47:35+00:00

This is a nice gesture but reminds me too much of the fat acceptance movement and stuff like that

Original_Dankster · 2018-04-18T12:20:27+00:00

Nice sentiment, but it doesn't hold up to reality. Attractive tall and fit men earn more in the workforce, are trusted more, given breaks in life ugly guys don't get.

Simple truth. Adapt to this truth or adhere to a pleasant lie, it's your choice - one that will steer your outcomes in life.

Fighting stereotypes counts as men's rights in my opinion. As a short guy who struggled to build any muscle in high school stuff like this would have helped my depression quite a bit.

GrandpaTheBand · 2018-04-18T13:02:09+00:00

We know.

We've always known.

IceDeep · 2018-04-18T13:17:43+00:00

Fact is everyone gets to make choices in life, you get to make choices on how you accept your body, how you spend your time and what you find important. People also are attracted to certain body types and personalities. The only thing you can control in life is you, if your not happy with yourself change who you are and how your life is going change it. It's going to be hard work, but your happiness is worth it in the end and you will thank yourself.

But nobody is entitled to another's love, you have to earn it. Maybe that is through caring, affection and understanding or maybe it's looks or money or any number of other things.

But looks will always fade, money will come and go so it's best if you have something else that makes you feel love for your partner, and you are blessed if you are able to establish a bond that supercededs your bodies, looks and financial status. But if you are only attracted to very good looking people, or wealthy people and are not good looking or rich yourself sorry but your going to have a hard time finding acceptance with those groups. This goes for many traits in people from intelligence to looks or even deep thought. You have to be as accepting of other people as they are of you to have a real relationship be it friends or lovers for life or anything inbetween.

People tend to gravitate towards people they share realities with, and if your reality is being fat, out of shape, poor or whatever that's fine, but the person whose reality is spending time on their body is just as important or more important than their mind they will not in most circumstances feel the same way. Some do, but you can't expect that again nobody owes you anything in life.

And sorry but it's selfish to think anyone owes you anything in life, because being part of your life means they are losing out in other ways in their life as all our time on this planet is finite. The only one who owes you anything is you, and that's because you are the one who will be answering for the choices you make today, tomorrow and in the future. So just make the best choices you can, make a goal for who you want to be and work towards it. Every step forward is a step towards the person your future self will be and will thank you for.

pb568 · 2018-04-18T15:50:52+00:00

What a lovely girl. We should keep the same sentiment with girls. We should love them regardless of looks.

jebbyregi · 2018-04-18T04:33:07+00:00

Its not okay to be fat, which is part of what she is implying. That makes you content with being unhealthy.

theliyonkang · 2018-04-18T06:42:14+00:00

This tweet sounds so sarcastic and fake I don't know why it's here. Some people just wont love you or think you're 'handsome' simply for how you are.

fengpi · 2018-04-18T07:41:07+00:00

Of course she doesn't care about a man's looks. It's his income tax bracket which is way more important.

Zohso · 2018-04-18T10:49:20+00:00

But she’s only half right with this stuff. As an anti third wave feminist, this type of thinking is what have women in a bad way right now. This, “We’re all beautiful and handsome stuff.” NO WERE NOT. SOME of us are. Most of us are quite ordinary with a vast portion of us are quite hard to look at, frankly. AND THATS OKAY. We need to get away from the only acceptable state of being is beautiful or handsome. And just simply accept that we are not either one of those. This type of thinking is what leads to depression. Accept reality and be happy with it.

I can't wait until we get to the concept that there's a distinct line between connection and superficial appeal. That society will always find ways to manifest arbitrary distinctions that raise one group over another, and that that philosophy is what's flawed. This is universal post scarcity philosophy though. So there is a practical barrier. The necessity to reinforce arbitrary socially sanctioned distinctions is a part of everything from keeping your job to keeping your SO. Until we're post scarcity too few will have the latitude to make their own decisions and this meme will remain firmly motivated by user analytics.

VellR · 2018-04-18T16:18:23+00:00

This is the problem with the 21st century; you're perfect just the way you are. So what you'll probably die of heart disease because you're over weight? So what you'll probably get Alzheimer's because you don't exercise to circulate oxygen to your brain? Its okay that you don't feel attractive to yourself because you'll find someone who loves you just for breathing. Its lazy.

I grew up hearing this nonsense. I'm not saying you need to be ripped, but take care of your body guys. Care about yourself enough that you'll do what it takes to improve. Nobody is born perfect.

Zyklon_Bae · 2018-04-18T16:25:53+00:00

I think this is silly. I know this is stuff a lot of women worry about, but I feel like we have a lot more serious issues than physical appearance to deal with.

If you need your head patted and to be told you're beautiful, you need to get a better perspective on life and our society.

bambooskeleton · 2018-04-18T19:15:33+00:00

Well someone has to take the downvotes here.

These things are stupid for men or women. I don't need someone on twitter or in the media to tell me it's ok to be less attractive. There are more important things in life to care about. Evaluating yourself based on your looks entirely is just dumb.

Yeah, I was given genes that make me ugly. Who cares? what a boring thing to think about. And the people who say this stuff seem to want to think that it is always ok, that you are still attractive. I'm sorry, no you're (I'm) not. You are handsome "in UR own way" which is really a dodge.

We shouldn't be appealing to such superficial stuff anyway, but pretending it doesn't exist, that we don't have hardwired things in our heads is just dumb. I will never have certain opportunities that Ryan Gosling has, and that's because of how I look. Tell me I'm attractive in "my own way" if you want but that does me no good if I want wanted to be an A list hollywood actor, a model, or even if I want certain levels of dating success. This chick on twitter might be saying I'm handsome by some stretch of the imagination but I'll be damned if she finds me as dateable as the six-packed lawyer down the street.

This whole thing is dishonest, naive, and pandering.

Xyon_Peculiar · 2018-04-18T19:27:56+00:00

"U are all handsome in ur own way..." Yet I'm still alone. "...& u all deserve to love yourselves." That's what I've been doing! It'd be nice to get it from someone else for a change...

Oh, and if you're fat with stretch marks, no, you're not handsome.

goodbyehouse · 2018-04-18T19:41:45+00:00

On the other hand. If you eat well and exercise regularly you will feel and look better. You have no control over height but the least you can do is lose body fat and increase your quality of life.

Pseudonymble · 2018-04-18T20:26:41+00:00

Wow. I've seen tons of "All Female Forms are Fabulous" style messages, but none that were aimed at me (a male). It's really odd to see these positive messages aimed at ME. Because I suppose my privilege means I should be totally happy with my body image. Even though I'm not.

Hill-ry · 2018-04-18T20:34:00+00:00

Many of the replies here seem awfully similar to what feminists say: if you're male; you're worthless. You better be ready to work out and do a lot of other things to make yourself worthy of a woman. If you're not attractive to a woman you're worthless.

Even if the sentiment is from a questionable person, it's still a sentiment worth supporting. If you don't agree maybe you don't really care about men's issues after all.

Pensive_wolf · 2018-04-18T21:27:14+00:00

Too bad there's a discrepancy between what some women want and what they say they want.

You can, and should, work on things you can control like your eating habits. And muscles really help in self-defence. So if not for the girls, workout out for yourself.

EDIT: Some women

Mudfist · 2018-04-18T13:22:07+00:00

Yeah I really don't want to see these twisted ideas of body positivity creep into male culture. It's been extremely detrimental to women and women's health for the sake feeling better. I appreciate the sentiment but no thanks. It's okay to be attracted to someone who's overweight, really, but that individual needs to lose weight and get healthy. Dude has no muscle but you think he's cute? You sound like a great person already but he should seriously exercise for his long term fitness.

RedPillWizard · 2018-04-18T15:24:43+00:00

RoninUnderground · 2018-04-18T13:14:04+00:00

No, you don't have to be, but if you want more men and women to respect you or be attracted to you, platonically or otherwise, you owe it to yourself to take care of your body. Be comfortable in your skin, but have some self respect and make it a skin worthy of being comfortable in.
