![It's wild how most fitness websites push unhealthy mindsets [CW: Sexism. Unhealthy body image.]](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/59fc54eb-b1e5-46b8-b9a4-270aca6b7b6d.jpeg){kind=link}
“I’m an incredibly cruel and shallow asshole that demands that everyone conforms to my beauty standards and my love for a woman will only ever be skin deep and transactional. Why can’t I keep a gf?”
Gad damn, even the dudes on that site that have girlfriends are miserable and hate their perfect waifu the moment they change slightly physically (or don’t change enough if the dude suddenly decided he likes a different aesthetic). They’ll complain that women only date muscular men, then complain when women don’t date muscular men. They’ll complain about “ugly” women but at the same time complain that they themselves aren’t attractive enough to get girls. They’re incredibly shallow while complaining that every woman they date is shallow. The lengths they go to avoid self-reflection must be wild.
The misunderstanding of The Substance in particular made me laugh. The film is critiquing the exact shallow obsessions these dorks chase, and instead of taking a step back and asking themselves “Are we the baddies?” They just whine about how it’s not a film about how hard it is for men to go through rejection. As if their isn’t already a million things like that in media, and as if it’s only men that go though embarrassing dating troubles.
Anyway here’s a link to the site if you hate yourself: https://inshapetoday.com/
I feel like every single individual post on that site would give a psychologist enough work to write a dissertation. What a fucked up group of people. I guess when you think “working out and building muscle will magically fix all my problems” and it doesn’t, it leaves you sad empty, angry guy. This is probably why fascists work out so much, it isn’t to be tough, it’s to be hateful. The only thing I’m surprised about on this site is that there aren’t more fascist dogwhistles.
Also what is this meal? (CW Meat):
Maybe this is why they are so angry? Spices and herbs add like practically 0 calories to a meal guys. You can eat stuff other than plain white rice and boiled chicken and still lose weight/put on muscle. I’d be pissed off too if I had to eat stuff like that all the time. And I’m the sort of guy who will just eat a can of chickpeas straight and cold, like they’re baked beans.
Plain boiled chicken and rice by the looks of it.
Depressing cracker food
It’s so gross. I can’t help but feel this was a guy whose wife divorced him and he’s never bothered to learn how to cook, so he thinks the only options are fast food or…this.
You could solve this with such simple things too, a splash of soy sauce or some salt and pepper isn’t gonna elevate this to fine dining but at least you won’t be miserable eating this. Also, no veggies? He’s probably also miserable because he takes 4 hours to pass a turd.
Gotta work out those glutes somehow!
This is the famous 白人饭 .
I’m getting better! I tried my best to read it and got the “White People” part but didn’t recognise the last part.
Context clues were doing most of the work for me though.
“White People Food” is the reaction from Chinese people discovering what Americans were making for themselves and eating, and started to go viral 2 years ago. You basically take a few raw or basic ingredients, steam or boil them, and put them next to each other. Voilà, the Lunch of Sadness.
Ah, I probably recognised it from 小红书 then, not from actually memorising characters properly. Damn. I should probably try and find a bit more time to study every day.
You probably did indeed process two of the 100 most recognizable characters. I had to look up the term myself to post it, because I didn’t have the third one committed to memory either.
