Why is it common to see fat women with skinny men, but rare to see fat men with skinny women—yet men are told to stop judging women’s bodies?

It feels like there’s a double standard in how body size is viewed in relationships: fat women with skinny men are common and socially accepted, while fat men with skinny women are far rarer and often judged differently. At the same time, responsibility for ending body shaming is frequently placed on men, even though these expectations seem deeply rooted in wider social norms.

There’s a difference between judging someone’s value as a human being and not wanting to be with someone romantically. By the way, I’ve seen fit dudes have women overweight maybe not morbidly obese but even then maybe. Some men even like women on the chubbier side…

There is also men that are overweight that have skinner women. Look, people can pick for themselves who they choose to be in a relationship with. But when people go out of their way to judge other peoples relationships…. Based on stuff like that. They’re people very unhappy with their own lives. Because if they were happy with the life of their own…. They wouldn’t tear down others.

If it weren’t for double standards, women would have no standards at all.

In daily life I see waaaay more fat men married to skinny woman.. So this is no way a fact. You can date whoever he hell you want to date no one is forcing you to date fat people. But I don't believe anyone should shame people for their weight male or female but it seems online much more men judge and put down women for being fat even when the guy is ugly and fat himself. Saying things like but you are a woman, you depend on your looks, like they themselves have anything going for them lol.

I strongly suspect you’re a guy. Not that this makes your point totally invalid, but it’s annoying when someone trying to make a point hides themselves (very badly) as the opposite gender.

Yeah definitely a guy. Just read your response to the other pink anon.

If it's such a bad point then you should have no problem being able to prove it wrong

It's not at all uncommon. I see more attractive women out with slovenly men than the opposite.
