My brother in Christ, you do not realize how down bad the 20-something girls with daddy issues are.
My best friend hooked an old guy without custody of his kids. They’re moving in together next week.
That’s what I’d be telling my fiancee as a joke because I know she’s a chubby chaser (in her own words).
About 16% in men have a fat fetish compared to <1% of women. Also about 36% of women prefer a partner heavier than them. Also, 97% want a man who’s taller than them while about 2 % of women want a man smaller than them.
Of all the people currently alive, about 7% are women aged 25-35. of those 1% like fat men, of those 2% want the man to be smaller. So you have 0.0014% of any given population who is female 25-35 and likes small fat men. About half of them are single, you you have 0.0007% of any population who will find you attractive.
In a city of 400,000 people that’s 3
3 is just too much for a lazy slob like me
Also about 36% of women prefer a partner heavier than them
Wait what? Men are naturally bigger with more muscle. Is the study implying most women prefer skinny marathon runners instead of bodybuilders?
Now this I want to know!
*is a skinny marathon runner*
I don’t get the reason for posting all these magic numbers with no source, especially since it is about preference of something that is considered a “taboo” and many will refuse to properly state them, under a completely unrelevant post. So even if there is a source for these, both if the poll is in person or online, they are very unreliable.
Not to deny the minority that are people that highly prefer a fat person/partner, especially since I am both one and prefer one. I am not here to conquer every single person that sees me even if I was the complete opposite and be jacked, because that is simply unrealistic.
I am myself, with my personality and a body I feel comfortable in.
Me neither, it implies that dating is just basic stats. Which no, because dating preferences aren’t independent variables. If you score low with a potential partner on a particular quality that doesn’t mean they’ve rejected you, unless that quality is a deal breaker. They are variable’s that are dependent to and from other variables, how are you with pets, are you pursuing a life goal you have set out for yourself, how are your relationships with others, ect.
Don’t do this, don’t give me hope
That’s depressing. But that’s what you get for expecting things of other humans.
Height was not stated. Also, if she doesn’t care about his marital status she probably doesn’t care about her own. Also also, it is stated that she is 25. Not going to do the math, so I will assume we are up to 1%
So you’re saying there’s a chance.
Go to a cheap supermarket on a Monday at 2pm and you’ll see those coincidences irl
This does assume that these are independent variables, which may not necessarily be the case.
Not bad tbh.
The existence of danny devito fucks these numbers all the way up.
Exceptions only confirm this
Exceptions TEST the rule
These magic numbers make my happy
Hey sweatpants can do some work. Are they grey?
Also 40s can be good-looking
And “fat” is pretty subjective; people with average bodytypes can be very successful with confidence
Well, at least the wife thinks highly of you.
fat
Not a deal breaker. The dad bod is in. I suspect other dad qualities are also in. Like sweatpants and socks with sandals.
!socks with sandals!<
Whoa! A little warning before dropping something that hot in here!
Do the dad qualities of already having a wife and children help? Lol
Doesn’t get more dad like than being a dad!
If you have enough money that your dad titles gets a sweet prefix
I prefer the gender-neutral glucose-guardian
White New Balances. Irrational obsession with turning off lights …which always left on for no apparent reason.
The dad bod is in
Among fat chicks. Healthy women want healthy men.
Nope. Reminding you of thid absolutely golden Twitter moment
The absolutely insane amount of cope the comment section starts spitting out is almost hilarious, implying that “women are lying” even.
I mean as a guy I think the dude looks easily 100x better in the “before” pic. I don’t know who this dude is at all, but that before pic is already a perfectly comfortable, healthy-looking body. Before looks approachable and friendly, while still healthy. After looks high-effort and very motivated; that’s a lot for some people. A lot of people want somebody they can relax on the couch with popcorn with, not somebody who is gonna wake up every 6am to go running.
Well yeah, I like having something to work with too. Skeletons be too spooky for me.
Oh bless your heart.
You realize that.a young woman who is even mildly attractive can pretty well have her pick of men her own age. She dont want no tubby dude 20 years older, wearing clothes from Costco and driving around in a Subaru crosstrek.
Once us guys hit our 40s we just disappear into the hedges like homer, just part of the background.
You’re forgetting the part where there are women your age.
Look, champ, I don’t even know where to start with that screed of yours; it’s like you veered across every social lane marker at once and somehow managed to cut off common decency in the process. People are out here trying to keep their traction in a world full of potholes; maybe set the cruise‑control of basic respect before you rear‑end reality, yeah?
How dare you talk shit about the Subaru Crosstrek. We’re dealing with a 220 mm ground‑clearance, symmetrical‑AWD, snow‑eating, gravel‑spitting, apocalypse‑commuter that will outlive three of your fashion cycles and still start on a minus‑five morning without a whimper.
It’s a five‑star‑safety‑rated go‑anywhere hatchback that gulps eight‑litres‑per‑hundred on the highway while your precious status wagons guzzle twice that idling at a café; it holds its resale value like a dragon sits on gold; throw a kayak on the roof, a mountain bike in the back, and go touch grass. The Crosstrek is the Swiss Army knife of daily drivers; slagging it off is like mocking duct tape - it only proves you’ve never fixed anything in your life.
Oh lovely, the Subaru Crosstrek. The automotive equivalent of a bearded man in hiking boots who’s never seen a mountain. Yes, yes—220mm of ground clearance, symmetrical all-wheel-drive, and a CVT that responds to throttle like a golden retriever responds to algebra.
You call it an apocalypse commuter? Please. The only thing this thing has ever survived is a steep mall parking ramp. It’s not a rugged off-roader—it’s a cosplay Jeep for people who think flannel is a personality. This car talks a big game about conquering snow and gravel, but starts hyperventilating the moment it sees a hill and a headwind at the same time.
And let’s talk about power—actually, let’s not, because there isn’t any. Merging on the motorway in a Crosstrek isn’t just dangerous, it’s spiritual. You put your foot down, say a quick prayer to the gearbox gods, and hope that the CVT decides to simulate a gear that moves you forward rather than just turning fuel into unpleasant noise. Resale value, Swiss Army knife, duct tape metaphors—fine. But at the end of the day, it’s a hatchback with hiking stickers, delusions of grandeur, and the acceleration of a depressed tortoise.
It’s not that the Crosstrek is bad. It’s just that it pretends so very hard to be brilliant—while delivering the dynamic excitement of a soggy oat biscuit.
Did you AI generate this entire response…?
Pretty obvious on account of all the em dashes lol.
Real people use em dashes — the models were trained on real human output after all — so this new crusade against em dashes as the Mark of Beast for AI has always been and continues to be silly.
I use em dashes…I think it’s sad that a proper grammatical construct is so thoroughly ignored by most people that now it’s a sign of inhumanity.
Sure, but it’s also in the tone, language and grammatical structure. After you know what you’re looking for, you can feel whether it’s AI written.
For what it’s worth, I’d be cautious about using em dashes; people basically associate it with AI without exception.
Even when I use a document editor, and it sometimes 'auto swaps" a dash for an em-dash, I’ll undo it. Just because I wouldn’t want to be perceived as copy/pasting something.
Older dudes can absolutely get younger girls. However, they are mostly going to fall into 2 categories. Serious emotional/psychological issues. Or looking for a sugar daddy without as much stigma.
If you are in great shape, have a good personality and a good job, then at 40 you can still pull girls in their 20s without to much trouble. If you let yourself go, and have nothing to show for your age then it will be a lot harder.
The better question is why would you want to? What would you even talk to them about?
“Did you see [X] video on TikTok?”
Me: Lowers newspaper while looking somewhat confused.
Can confirm. However, something happens in your mid 40s, I think the third growth stage of humans. In the space of about a year I went from beautiful 20 something women actively engaging with me, to suddenly something like primal visceral disgust instead.
Sort of like how they reacted when I was in my 20s. Which is why I was completely unprepared for that tiny window of opportunity.
Penis emerged unscathed.
She dont want no tubby dude 20 years older, wearing clothes from Costco and driving around in a Subaru crosstrek.
I asked this guy for an engagement ring and he let me pick out the one I wanted!
Ironic that you complain about men disappearing in their 40s when this happens so pervasively to women it’s called Invisible Woman Syndrome.
Aging out of societal relevance is hard for everyone. Let’s not pretend that this is a uniquely male thing, especially when women are pressured to conceal their aging to a far greater degree.
Honestly I don’t see them complaining nor are they pretending that it’s uniquely male. I just don’t see any words to support that. Do you think you might be reading a bit too much into it?
I’ll have you know I drive a Toyota minivan and shop at Sam’s Club because we don’t have a Costco. Much to my disappointment.
I switched from the Sam’s Club 30 minutes away because I was tired of getting Walmart grade crap to a Costco 50 minutes away. Prices are a little higher, quality seems not quite as much higher and when we do the math, the savings over just going to Target or whatever aren’t always there
I’m 40, and I am still getting plenty of play. How do you think I know dad bods are in rn? 🤷♂️
plenty of play from 25yo hot women?
The last girl I was with was 27 and pretty hot.
Hey! I wear clothes from Goodwill, get it right.
Salvation Army has coupons!! Don’t waste your money!
I’m 25 and several people have planned cross continent trips to have sex with me and you’re wrong.
25 year old girls don’t want 25 year old guys. women also prefer married men to single men.
Me: “I’ll do my best but you know how hard it is to resist this.” Gestures at dad bod
Wife: “Oh, I’m well aware.”
Me: 😘
Wife: 😏… 🍆👉👌
Narrator: And then they FUCKED!
This man wifes
spicy
wife in a healthy relationship, looking at her sweatpantsed husband: heavy breathing Oh my!
never underestimate the desire of some women for married man. I had a friend once tell me shw only dated married man because she knew he was good enough. No need to say the friendship didn’t last long
This is a real phenomenon. Men are more attractive when they’re already in a relationship.
There are similar psychological effects that exist elsewhere. A job applicant is more attractive if they currently have a job. A scholarship application is more attractive if you list your existing scholarships. The effect is basically: someone else found you desirable, and therefore I must also.
The effect is so strong that it encourages people to fake it to gain the benefits.
I must be ugly as sin. My wife and I have been married almost five years and I have yet to be in a situation where a woman is pursuing me and I can shout, “I don’t know you! You’re not my wife!” and run away.
You’re also more confident when you’re not looking for anything tbh
That’s especially great with salary negotiations. When you’ve already got a stable job there is nothing to lose from aiming high.
I can attest, got out of a long term relationship a while back and have had absolutely no interest in getting involved with anyone to any degree, and I have been getting way more attention than I’m used to. Having no interest, however, just leads to me awkwardly smiling, a moment of silence while they’re waiting for reciprocation, and then me saying, “Thanks. Well, you have yourself a good one!” and scurrying away to play Red Dead 2.
Also the reason for the rock star phenomenon.
A girl sees a guy with a girlfriend. Girl’s monkeybrain says “she thinks he’s a good bet, so he’s already been vetted, and he’s probably a good bet.”
Now a girl sees a guy at a party with two girls flirting with him. Now two other girls think he’s a good bet. He must be a good bet.
Now scale up. One guy is on stage playing the guitar. 3000 women are screaming that they love him. Our girl’s monkeybrain: “literally thousands of other girls are debasing themselves to be with him - he is the most desireable guy in the world. Quick, scream, get his attention! He’s your perfect soul mate, just make him notice you!”
Or how employers are more likely to hire you if you’ve already got a job.
Real, and even more cruel.
Exactly. Some people like things they can’t have. The thrill, the risk.
Same reason why rich people steal stuff for the thrill.
It’s like when children grab the toys of others. They don’t want to
playwithkeep the toy, the fact of the toy being possessed is what makes the toy desirable. The grass is always married on the other side of the fence.Edit: choice of wordS
In a sense of understanding the wife’s perspective, proximity is just as important as the other major factors that affect how likely a relationship is to begin. There was a cool study of college students who lived in an apartment style building that showed you were most likely to begin a relationship with the person who had a door immediately next to yours. The only exception to that was for the person who had a door immediately next to the mailboxes. Proximity matters because it lets another person see you enough to form opinions based on a lot of interactions, and we all know someone who ‘shines’ despite their physical looks.
Plot twist: new neighbor was wearing a shirt that read, “I <3 dad bods,” and was already flirting (asking for help moving boxes /eyeroll) with the guy in sweatpants.
asking for help moving boxes /eyeroll
Just as an aside, I would do this regardless of my interest. If I’m moving and there’s someone watching, I’m going to try to enlist help. They can say no and I won’t be offended in any way, but I’ll give it a shot, because moving sucks and it’s faster with more hands. I won’t gush about how strong the movers are or anything, but I will offer them beer/pizza afterwards.
Really sad that so many people are closed-minded about relationships with mailboxes.
You wouldn’t believe how many people go postal once they see my tramp stamp.
Yeah, some people think there should only be relationships between mailboxes and femailboxes.
“Oh, what the fuck?! There’s jizz on my mail again!”
That study seems kinda backwards. I lived next to my future wife in student apartments, but that’s because we liked each other and intentionally chose the arrangement.
The apartments were randomly assigned. Do you know many freshmen who got to choose their dorms? Once I was a sophomore+, I did, but that first year in university-run student housing I didn’t get to pick.
If someone has to tell their spouse not to break their martial vows, or even feels like they have to say it, that couple should go to therapy.
I would bet the entirety of my yearly pay that it was absolutely, 100% a joke and they have a perfectly healthy relationship.
Oh, definitely. My point still stands for anyone saying it for real.
Or you know they have a healthy relationship and joke a lot.
I agree, martial vows are sacred! It’s not worth the fighting.
MY DUMB LUCK: does it anyway somehow
ALSO MY DUMB LUCK: wife is into it
Isn’t that her daughter? I tell you there is some porn that I’ll never want to understand
That’s her clone.
Haven’t watched that show much, I was thinking that was her daughter from another dimension. Far less lines being crossed there haha
There is a Mad Max world version of Summer
Well, they fucked each other a few times before the husband figured it out. This is the scene where he gives them his blessing, then they have a 3-way (off camera)
What cartoon is this sorry? Looks vaguely family guy in its animation
its not a clone. its her from a different universe
Nope, she’s potentially the original, or a clone. https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Space_Beth
i cant believe i fucked up my rick and morty lore…
I haven’t watched the show, but it kinda looks like a clone of herself, they have the same face
She is a clone. It’s left ambiguous which is the original.
On the other hand, Jerry and his daughter Summer do share the same face.
Ah, that woud make much more understandable
As a bonus: it’s left ambiguous which one is the clone and which one is the original, they don’t even know
Yes that’s literally what the comment you’re replying to said
“You never told me not to!”
We usually say to each other…don’t bring home nasty STDs. Even though we both know…way to busy to fuck someone else.
Condoms are used
Yeah, I’m sure most people use oral condoms / dental dams when they’re going down on casual flicks.
Even condoms don’t stop some STDs. Best way is to just find a clean one early. Then stick with her or him.
No guarantees. I know what I’m working with here, babe.
if the wife even has to say that, how insecure is that lol
I assumed it was a joke
No, it was very serious. Big red flag. He should hit a lawyer, delete a gym, and social media up.
Without context we can’t know if it was serious, a joke, or completely made up.
This platform just doesn’t do jokes, does it?
Too many people take things too seriously. Without context you just can’t make those sort of judgements.
