There are unhealthy beauty standards set to both genders. They're just geared differently. Women are suppose to be prizes and men are suppose to be warriors. Tate is the result of decades of masculine marketing and the exact thing the movie Fight Club warned about.
Look at what they did to Luke Skywalker toys over time.
And the real tell is that the warrior ideal combined with super broad chest and shoulders are meant to denote strength, but the strongest men tend to be thick through the middle and lack the bodybuilder v-taper they give these toys. Not that bodybuilders aren't stronger than most people by far, but when you look at the people who hold records for lifting the most weight they're nothing like those toys. It's just as shallow and dumb as a lot of women's beauty standards.
Its highly ironic that both genders are failing at what they are supposed to be though. Women are not prices and men are not warriors. We know this. No?
Its just marketing. :)
If anything, the gender wars have shown how women can be just as awful as men. No gender is a price or warrior. We are just... People.
We are? I can attest that I most certainly am not allowed to be fat and get derogatory comments about it sporadically. I'm not even that heavy, I just got a growing beer gut and like 4kg overweight. Humans get shit for their looks, it isn't compartmentalized across genders.
Oh man I feel you. I look good and still have hair, I just get shit for looking tired and fat. But society's general aversion to baldness is very fucked up, and the girl power movement complaining about unfair ideals are all guilty of being just as bigoted against male issues like that one.
It's as if we should all collectively be nicer and more tolerant towards one another regardless of sex, culture, color of skin or whatever, not just be upset when whatever particular demographic you happen to belong to gets shit. There are very valid positions to hold for, as example in case, feminism, but there is also a shitload of people who just proclaim themselves to be feminist and spew some sort of moral indignation while doing the exact same shit toward others.
It's infuriating. Thanks for coming to my unsolicited rant. Try the crab salad.
I think it's even worse than the double standard. Saying that people shouldn't get married because some decades later your spouse might not be hot is infuriating to me. You're with someone for decades - if the only reason you're with them is because they were smoking hot at 25, you're immensely shallow and immature. People get old. Age happens.
If someone is with someone for decades because their partner was smoking hot at 25 either their partner is still smoking hot or there's something else going on, because most people don't stay the same level of smoking hot for decades. People who are with someone only for looks won't stick around for decades.
His wife is still very attractive, but what if she wasn't? It wouldn't mean a goddamn thing, would it?
Beauty may be the reason why you are attracted to a person in the first place, but it's not at the top of the list of reasons why you stay with a person.
It's hard for me to even imagine being that shallow.
Which makes you wonder why people even pick partners based on beauty. It would make more sense to pick them based on personality.
That being said, I value very much that my girlfriend takes care of herself even with many years in a relationship. She could easily become fat but she exercises and stays fit, and I do the same. For us its important, but its not the main reason we are together.
Demisexuals are likely more common among men than you realize but face intense social stigma if they date women who are fat or ugly. This is known to negatively impact men who prefer fat women for example and likely impacts demisexual men as well.
Well, to be fair, she must be a very special woman. That is the reason why he loves her so much. My takeaway is actually that women should strive to be like that.
Either way, they seem like a fantastic match for eachother.
I bet you she looks as beautiful to him now as she did then if not more so. What with having kids, my wife’s body has changed over the years and I found her gorgeous in every stage.
I might be wrong but so many times I hear people talk about how big breast are desirable, how a big ass is desirable, how curves are great.
And then seemingly the same idiot look at women like that and talk shit... I am wondering if it is cope because they are jealous because everything else is insane.
They've both put on a bit of weight over the years but only one gets criticised here.
I'm sure he appreciates the bigger fun bags as a bonus. And after 25 years of marriage I don't think either of them is staying for the other's body anyway.
Oh man, what would I ever do if I met someone who I enjoyed spending time with so much that 25 years in I still wanted them living in the same house I do and going to special events with me? I might fuck around and find out I’ve become happy.
My wife has a beautiful, round face. It's the kind of face that all the most wonderful grandmothers had when they were her age. I look at her, and I can't wait to grow old alongside her.
Oh noes, a woman gained weight while her husband, over half of whose extremely lucrative career is literally staying maximally attractive and fit, did not.
Clearly this situation teaches a lesson that applies to all of us. Clearly.
Toxic billionaire mentality. As the meaninglessness of this life style sucks into their bone marrows, they search satisfaction in more and more perverted things like molesting children in islands or sending women across the globe their sperm samples to get themselves impregnated with.
My brother here is doing it quite well. This coming from someone that has only been married to the same person for 16 years (been together 20).
Regardless of the external expectations of society (which can properly fuck right off).
To spend that amount of time growing together and separately as well. Some stay together, others grow apart. Some grow together and part later on. Others stay together and blossom as a unit while each developing a unique set of roots.
I mean I don't think most epstein listers are pedophiles in the sense that they are only attracted to children, my guess would be that it is mostly either a kink for the power dynamic or the taboo. There are prob some exceptions tho
