We often hear that fat people are somehow “costing” society too much.

Leaving aside the fabricated numbers that often go with such claims, I would ask you this-

Do these people ever talk about the costs of misogyny or racism?

How much does it cost society that 3 women a day (in the US) are murdered by their male romantic partners? How much does it cost for the trials, the prison, the loss and grief surrounding the never ending violence against women?

Are these penny pinchers really concerned about costs?

Or are they just looking for a way to stigmatize fat people and bring the full weight of government sanction and interference into our lives to punish us for what we look like?

I think you know what the answer is.

I may be fat, but what about murders huh?

It killed off some fat cells by freezing them to death.

Worked well, although for a few days after I had massive hickeys.

Also crash diets only work temporarily

I used to take topiramate for chronic headaches/pain and it killed my appetite. Over two-three months I went from 250 pounds to 170ish because I could barely eat a handful of grapes per day. Kept all my flub even at 170 and when I had to stop taking the medicine I just gained that weight all back but my appetite is still pretty hosed.

I told my mom the other day that I rather be with a prostitute than to have a real GF
if you are a parent I will favor your input a lot more.

Anyways last weekend me and my mom were having a conversation about dating and relationships. Along the line I started telling her how I am not interested in dating women here in my area do to the fact that the majority of them turn me off and scare me do to their tendency of being immature, trifling, stuck up drama queens.

I told her how I wish America could one day be like Canada where prostitution is somewhat allowed. I then told her that if that was the case that I would of rather hire a escort to keep me company to save up from all the trouble that a GF or a friends with benefits would put me through.

This didn't really troubled or worried my mom but it sure did sparked up some skepticism in her. She replied that doing this as a living routine might one day turn into a vise and corrupt my ability to fall in love and start a real relationship with someone in the near future.

Now the connection between me and my mom isn't good so I was not surprise that my attitude did not worried her. But I'm really curious, I wonder how a real parent who wants the best for their children would react if they ever heard something like this coming from their. Would it worry them? Would it bother them? Would they maybe agree with him? Would they tried to show them a better way? And how?

but oh well thanx to the MGTOW movement I actually dont feel any drat guilt about this anymore. in fact I've learned through the MGTOW movement that I am not the only guy in the world that possess this mentality. I just knew I couldnt be going insane when I've been noticing since before I started puberty how stock-up, arrogant and self centered modern day women are by thinking that you owe them your whole entire life just because they've let you get between their legs just for one night

Yeah prostitution has been legal here since around 2003. Thankfully we were sane enough to reject the Swedish model which makes it legal for women to sell but illegal for men to buy which is about as sensible letting drug dealers peddle heroin while throwing the addicts in prison... guess you've got to expect that from the most pussy-whipped man-hating country in the world.

If they were really unique, they'd be wearing a shirt with one long sleeve and one short sleeve, and I would laugh because that's really stupid.
