Age gaps in relationships doesn't = pedophilia. Some people are attracted to milfs and dilfs.

there's plenty of other ways to make fun of this pudgey cunt with the brain of a vibrating dildo that doesn't have a full charge.

No one said it did. The meme simply says she's defending it. I really like how you corrected people then called her fat. Thanks for your contribution.

So you will defend gross age gaps but you are ok with fat shaming?

[–] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

The world needs more fat shaming. Have you seen what we look like now a days?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 28 points 3 weeks ago (13 children)

I think the issue is fat shaming doesn't actually make people fix their problems. I agree people are too fat generally. I just don't think insulting them helps. It's usually more effective to give encouragement and praise when possible.

There's a healthy medium. With the shame that is. We're probably not far off of it now.

The pendulum swung from too far one way to too far the other, we're correcting now, I feel.

tbf that's mostly because food producers put sugar into literally anything to sell more food, because it makes people addicted. no wonder people are obese.

[–] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fair point, but there must be some personal accountability. Yeah, processed food producers find ways to get us addicted with their delicious sugar but you don't have to eat everything in front of you. You don't have to clear your plate every time. You can sneak a walk in every now and then.

Very normal with Filipino women. I'm the only guy my wife's age, rest of her friends are 20+ years younger than their husbands.

That's just cultural patriarchy. Its the same system that has existed in almost every culture around the world.

The dowry mechanism has changed, but its still more or less rich old men using their wealth to get women.

I dont know about you, but I dont look at trophy wives and think "oh what a soul mates they must be". Im not looking at Melania Trump and thinking "oh it must be love".... no, that woman is bought and paid for (trafficked, likely) and thats the modern dowry.

The vast majority of women who are in relationships with wealthier older men are by no means being forced to be with them.

They choose to date those men because they want to. They have agency, they can make their own decisions. It's ironically quite misogynistic and infantilizing to claim that any woman who makes what you see as the wrong decision automatically must be a brainwashed slave of the man she's with, as if men can literally hypnotize women into dating them against their will by showing them a bank statement with enough zeroes in it.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

It isn't always a one way street. Many women realize that they prefer wealth to true love and willing seek out whomever has the fattest wallet as the person they want to be with. They tend to see relationships as transactional and don't want to settle for less than top payment. I had a couple university friends like that and they were very open about looking for the highest bidder, age wasn't a consideration.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Oh come on your giving no agency to women. Women can have kinks also some are into old guys sure. The majority I imagine do it for the money. And who cares if that's what they want let them.

Well yes... Sorry...

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 5 points 2 weeks ago

This comment would work so much better without the misogyny. Hating evil people because they're evil is so easy to do.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like something a 25 year old dating a 16 year old would say.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

there's plenty of other ways

What a weird gate to keep.

I can't believe she's 28. That's nuts. I thought she was much older than that. Like in her 50s and had some work done like the rest of them.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Oof that is a hard one. She was just starting kindergarten when he was finishing his third unrelated PHD?

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Imagine seeing a kid grow up until one day you are like "yeah, shes ready" and then dating them 🤮
