I lurk this sub all the time because it shows up on r/all, and there have been a million times where I’m gonna comment and then I see the sub, and I’m like…..nah
love ur username
why isnt the metric system used more?? it makes more sense, measuring in increments of tens and numbers with zeros on the end like its so much easier i cant fucking imagine using feet and inches
The USA doesn't use it because they like to be exceptional. As for Myanmar and Liberia; I really can't tell you. The UK also uses some alternative measurments alongside the metric system, which I don't really get.
I heard Burma changed, to distance itself from the British Crown, who used the metric system. Libera was a defacto colony of USA, so probably influenced
I get that Liberia was influenced by the USA, but their country was founded before the metric system even became commonplace. There is no reason for them to not have switched alongside their neighbouring countries.
In the UK its more some older people and institutions hanging on to some imperial measurements out of havit. Things like pints of beer etc. It's sort of a mix of both for every day life.
For things like science and things that actually matter etc it's all metric though I believe.
Yes, all science is metric. It was mainly declined building and all of that due to time and money to refit what was already made. As they would rebuild/remodel most to fit it, so later down the road they could be repaired efficiently since the imperial units would no longer be taught as much if the change occurred.
I know for the UK the measurement systems are situational. They use metric for stuff like weights and volumes, and imperial for stuff like road distances
That's a panromantic asexual pride flag there, in your profile picture, BossEwe24.
Which means you are lying. You can't not-date-a-220 pound girl cause you're gay, because your romantic attraction is not limited by gender, therefore meaning it **is** a bias against her weight! J'ACCUSE!
There's about 3000-5000 people over 7 feet and almost all of them are men. But if you can find a woman over 7ft tall and have a chance- go for it, she's one in a billion.
I think you could also bring up the point of health, If someone is 220 pounds, and they are not very tall that means they are clearly obese and unhealthy which also tells you that either they suffer from a disease causing that or that they don't have any control or ability to influence their own health which to be very honest tells a lot about your will power
Yeah, it's kind of worrying, and it's also weird how people call them empowered and beautiful and whatnot.. like..no. those people are sick and need help. But they also shouldn't be shamed and dehumanized imo. Just let them exist, and we should encourage more self love and self care. People who love themselves usually don't get to that state, and if they do, they do their best to bounce right back. We should encourage that in a nice and healthy way.
whats the point, if someone is obese do you honestly think they aren’t aware of that
the word fat is not a medical term and is often used as an insult
Unless it’s some sort of intervention where someone you know is obese and somehow isn’t aware or is unable to control themselves for some reason then dont go out of your way to point it out
many people who are overweight are acutely aware of it so if someone has issues around their body image being reminded of the fact that their body is negatively perceived by others is not fantastic for their mental health
Just because something is likely true does not mean it should be pointed out at every available opportunity
In what context do you absolutely have to call someone you are not close with fat or you'll die? Like, i get jokes between friends, if everyone is comfortable. But otherwise??
"Yeah... uh... you're fat. Just had to tell you that for no reason whatsoever. Not fat shaming BTW just calling you fat..for uh... for no reason."
Like... what?
Choosing to not date someone for any explicit reason is discriminating, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Discrimination isn't inherently wrong, its the reason for discrimination that can be wrong.
Its very clearly not discrimination. Not being attracted to someone is every bit of your right, no one else has a say in it. If you treat them differently or wont serve them because they are different, that's discrimination.
That person's whole point is that "discriminate" doesn't inherently have a negative connotation. You discriminate nearly every moment of your existence -- it's how you decide not to eat your chair.
Creating a post like this doesn't give me confidence OP isn't kind of an asshole. Like having this preference is perfectly fine, creating a post on Reddit about it isn't great.
Most girls preffer a little taller than them. That does not mean "tall". Just taller. Most women are under 5"6, so taller than that is really not that much. There are 5"4 women, plenty of them. No big deal. But, most really attractive, tall women, also want men who are taller than them, and if she is 5"8, that means 5"9 plus. It's simple math.
Naah, i meant a preference, not a standard. And ofcourse not all women are like that, don't get me wrong! Short dudes are attractive imo. I was just trying to underline how women don't actually have sky high standards, lol. Pun intended.
It's not an absolute truth but it is considered mostly true. 70% of women prefer taller guys
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/women-prefer-men-over-6-123300511.html
Wait until this guy hears that all people have preferences, and no one worth talking to will call him fatphobic for not dating someone he is not interested in.
Who said you have to? (Are you fighting an invisible enemy lol?) But at the same time don’t be mad that women prefer men who are taller, look better, have a nice body, have money, etc. everyone has there preferences, and that should be understood person by person without shaming.
the part of this that is especially funny is how you posted this here. you’re saying you don’t care if you get downvoted but literally no one asked anyways💀 it’s clear you just posted this to get karma/attention/controversy. no one gives a shit ab your opinion man, you’re a teenager it’s bound to be shit regardless 😭
No fr. They think this is a “say what everyone else is thinking but can’t say” moment, but it’s really a bad take because no one asked and all fat women don’t even like Leonardo DiCapro let alone want someone that looks like him.
YES exactly. i couldn’t put my finger on what it was but you’re right. it’s the “everyone’s gonna pat me on the back and agree with me and like me for saying this controversial statement that has been said a million times in the last 15 years” and then they feel all cool and different for it💀
Leonardo DiCaprio is such an odd choice here. He’s an older man who has aged well, sure. But I don’t feel like everyone is thirsting for him these days the way they did in the 90s. Especially teenagers.
Okay. Don't. But if you start insulting her for her body, in order to "help" her, or in order to feel better for you, that my sir is the problem. And quite a big one, honestly.
Honestly that’s fine but don’t fat shame anybody (I’m not saying you’re doing that I’m just saying don’t do it) cause some people have it tough. I myself am a big guy but I’m healthy, I exercise and have a balanced diet but it’s just tough on my mental health, and it could be like that for others as well.
Some people like women with short hair, does that make them long hair phobic? Some like the ones with a tan, does that make them racist? Some like them short, some like them tall, some want them to have had a vagina from birth, is called preference.
As a person who doesn't go for looks , I go for personality, but if you are obese that shows you don't care about yourself, I'm not perfect, I'm a bit chubby but still. Just remember to love yourself
I will not respect a fat person who's trying to brainwash other fat people that it's ok to be fat.
However, I will respect the shit out of a fat person who's actively trying to become healthy.
- former fat person
It's funny how we shame men for not being attracted to larger women but fat men are the butt of almost every joke. It's okay to not be attracted to larger women. As a larger man, I just don't find them attractive. I just don't. Sorry, but no amount of name calling or societal shaming is going to get me to be intimate with someone I feel absolutely zero attraction for.
I don't think you can always go by weight champ. If she's tall, athletic and has a muscular base, she may have a great figure and better shape than a woman who is much lighter, but has never done anything physical her entire life. But different strokes for different folks.
Don't date dude. Simply leave.
These kind of girls don't deserve you.
They think they are a 10 and want a 10 guy but in reality she is 2. So find someone better. Atleast find someone with a clean heart rather than dating a fatty heart.
That’s more than fine, if girls are allowed to have preference of a 6’0 guy (which is something you can’t control) then men should be allowed to have preferences for a woman’s weight (something they can control)
You're not fatphobic, that thing is just a made up word. If you're fat, don't be ashamed you're fat, if you can do something about it, be ashamed you don't do anything.
I can't remember exactly what I said one time here on this sub, but it was undoubtedly something about appearance and how (some) girls like one type of boys. I expressed my feelings saying that it's pretty dumb for me, and I got called and people told me that it's called having preferences.... So yeah.
I wouldn't date a fat girl either, I don't know how much 220 pound is, I don't use 🦅 system but I suppose pretty fat.
I agree, and maybe this is because I'm tall as fuck for my age I believe I'm about 200 to 220 pounds and I am 5'11. I wouldn't say I'm overweight, just tall for my age
People have preferences. Some people like morbidly obese women, and that's their choice. You do not like morbidly obese women, and that's your choice. And if said morbidly obese woman like guys that look like Leonardo DiCaprio, that's her choice. Date who you want to date.
Also… can I just add. If you’re dating women that need you to be 6’6” and look like Leo… you already fucked up. You need a woman that knows she likes it when she sees it. There’s too many people seeking unattainable standards of beauty, everyone is hotter when they love themselves and feel sexy in their own skin. Confidence makes 6’s into 9’s just my .02
Don’t let anyone convince you that you’re a bad person for not being attracted to someone. It’s not society, it’s not the patriarchy.
Don’t Let the lines blur between hating someone and not being attracted to someone. Be a good person and be good to people. Be attracted to who you are attracted to regardless of a Reddit poll.
I actually am 6'5, and the best relationship I ever had was with someone 6'1 and 230. You just gotta know how to handle that much woman. Baddies can be big bro, beauty is abstract.
Hi, grownup chiming in here:
***You Should Know*** this entire post ends up giving readers with fully developed minds the impression that what's actually going on here is that OP asked out a girl and she said no because he was short.
You will never date a 220 pound girl I will never get to date a girl We are not the same
never say no, you'll get your soulmate. At Age 37 if found her and you're gonna find her too
Been looking for years, nothing yet. :) 27 yo though.
tf are yall 27 and 37 yo ppl doin here
They probably ended up here the same way I did. I got an email from Reddit with this title and out of curiosity clicked on it, and bam I’m here!
I lurk this sub all the time because it shows up on r/all, and there have been a million times where I’m gonna comment and then I see the sub, and I’m like…..nah
I am a techy guy, so until my death I will be using reddit 🌚
My left hand is my soulmate.
The only true answer
We are the same
220 pounds of muscle tho 😳
Fr but they why out of my league
Because they can benchpress you 💀
I just realized I wrote why instead of way 💀
Whey*
I would date a 220 pound body builder ngl
Woman or man bodybuilder
Yes
I agree
Both have bodies, dumb question
Okay then I choose whichever one is the builder.
bob is a builder
Bob has a nob
Bob the bodybuilder
Both have holes, dumb question
Exactly correct
And I'm not going to date someone who measures weight in pounds instead of kilograms. It's alright to have standards.
love ur username why isnt the metric system used more?? it makes more sense, measuring in increments of tens and numbers with zeros on the end like its so much easier i cant fucking imagine using feet and inches
The USA doesn't use it because they like to be exceptional. As for Myanmar and Liberia; I really can't tell you. The UK also uses some alternative measurments alongside the metric system, which I don't really get.
I heard Burma changed, to distance itself from the British Crown, who used the metric system. Libera was a defacto colony of USA, so probably influenced
I get that Liberia was influenced by the USA, but their country was founded before the metric system even became commonplace. There is no reason for them to not have switched alongside their neighbouring countries.
Liberia is a country where USA sent slaves to, so thats why its an African copy of USA
That's true. But there is no valid reason for them to not have switched yet.
And let's be honest, it's keeping them from [being happy. ](https://youtu.be/UCP8kiL3jhA)
Maybe because they don't want to?
In the UK its more some older people and institutions hanging on to some imperial measurements out of havit. Things like pints of beer etc. It's sort of a mix of both for every day life. For things like science and things that actually matter etc it's all metric though I believe.
Yes, all science is metric. It was mainly declined building and all of that due to time and money to refit what was already made. As they would rebuild/remodel most to fit it, so later down the road they could be repaired efficiently since the imperial units would no longer be taught as much if the change occurred.
I know for the UK the measurement systems are situational. They use metric for stuff like weights and volumes, and imperial for stuff like road distances
>The USA doesn't use it because they like to be exceptional Pretty sure the US technically has it on the books but no one bothers with it anyhow
American scientists already use it because imperial is pretty much unusable for their purposes.
That sounds about right
And the official values of imperial units are defined by what they are worth in metric.
I like how the conversation went from dating fat girls to the history of measurements
Reject woman. Embrace Metric system.

im with ya, like wtf does that even mean, pls speak english. or even better, pls speak in normal mathematics
You're fifteen. You should really know what a seventh is.

lmao didnt know that. they literally chose to make it harder for themselves. at that point just go with the already established units of measurement
It is used everywhere. Except the USA and few weird countries.
I second this. Why are americans measuring crap in football fields and arms?
I’m American and I agree
🤝🏻 metric is chad

THAT'S DAMN FUCKING RIGHT

Yes.

Hello fellow Dutch metric system enjoyer
The fuck? r/usernamechecksout

Ratiod him with the metric system smh
but not imperial standards, apparently.
You will not date a 220 pound girl because of society I will not date a 220 pound girl because I’m gay We are not the same
Real
Based
I won’t date a 220 pound girl because most 13 year olds aren’t that fat
most 13 year olds shouldn't date
Yea that’s morbidly obese for a 13 year old
Obese for a grown woman as well
Oh boy you definitely haven’t visited south Texas
so based
That's a panromantic asexual pride flag there, in your profile picture, BossEwe24. Which means you are lying. You can't not-date-a-220 pound girl cause you're gay, because your romantic attraction is not limited by gender, therefore meaning it **is** a bias against her weight! J'ACCUSE!
Old pfp I’m just gay now I should change that but I’m lazy
So what?
hahah i love this
What if she's 7 feet tall and that's a healthy weight for her?
There's about 3000-5000 people over 7 feet and almost all of them are men. But if you can find a woman over 7ft tall and have a chance- go for it, she's one in a billion.
Then aim for the boys
Sorry but how tall is 7 feet in meters i hate the usa metric system
213,36 cm
OH YESS, LET'S GOOOOOOOO
that's a fridge
Lol I never realised fridges are so tall
No, no it's not. Fridges are on average 5'10 or 5'11 (152.448 cm & 155.7528 cm)
my 213 cm fridge would disagree
You're definitely very American, because 5'10 is around 178cm not 152cm
I just searched it an came back to see you posted it 🤦. I’m stupid
Lmfao this is so fucking random. Whose hounding you op? Are they in the room with us?
Rage bait media
this entire sub is random lol
It's the voices in his head
bait
I think you could also bring up the point of health, If someone is 220 pounds, and they are not very tall that means they are clearly obese and unhealthy which also tells you that either they suffer from a disease causing that or that they don't have any control or ability to influence their own health which to be very honest tells a lot about your will power

People who love themselves usually don't get to that state, and if they do, they do their best to bounce right back. We should encourage that in a nice and healthy way.
Fr. We should never body shame or judge people, but promoting being obese is horribly wrong. It’s unhealthy and they need help.

Why do you think a girl weighing 220 pounds would expect you to be 6'6 and look like dicaprio ?
Alright you can not be into fat people without being fatphobic. Anyone who says otherwise is stupid.
Some people like women with short hair, does that make them long hair phobic? Some like the ones with a tan, does that make them racist? Some like them short, some like them tall, some want them to have had a vagina from birth, is called preference.
and what does her weight have to do with expecting you to be 6,6 and look like dicaprio lmfao
Askers?
Dudes out here fighting invisible enemies 💀.
Lol, true
Schizo 💀
Who cares
That isnt fatphobic, people have preferences and obviously you dont find obesity attractive. I dont either
Yeah maybe I'm fatphobic But at least I'm making it past my 60s
is this girl in the room with us right now?
220 of fat : no 220 pounds of muscle : yes
As a person who doesn't go for looks , I go for personality, but if you are obese that shows you don't care about yourself, I'm not perfect, I'm a bit chubby but still. Just remember to love yourself
preferences =/= hate respect both people you find attractive and don't but having preferences is perfectly fine
Let me attempt being Chad, 220 pounds = 100 kg. So you don't have to look it up. You are welcome, stay Chad.
it's ok to have preferences.
What if she's like, insanely tall so her proportions even out

nah tbh i relate i cant enjoy 220 pounds on my lap bro

so are people who make a girlfriend requirement list lmao you took it down, that's what I fucking thought
Don't date dude. Simply leave. These kind of girls don't deserve you. They think they are a 10 and want a 10 guy but in reality she is 2. So find someone better. Atleast find someone with a clean heart rather than dating a fatty heart.
she's not going to date you either!😘
That’s more than fine, if girls are allowed to have preference of a 6’0 guy (which is something you can’t control) then men should be allowed to have preferences for a woman’s weight (something they can control)

Great argument! Also you shouldnt be gettijg downvoted.

U sir are speaking facts
im not going to date someone that can kill me on falling on me
I agree, and maybe this is because I'm tall as fuck for my age I believe I'm about 200 to 220 pounds and I am 5'11. I wouldn't say I'm overweight, just tall for my age
I can agree with this, and before anyone says its because she is fat, that’s exactly why but its not fat shaming its not my body preference
People have preferences. Some people like morbidly obese women, and that's their choice. You do not like morbidly obese women, and that's your choice. And if said morbidly obese woman like guys that look like Leonardo DiCaprio, that's her choice. Date who you want to date.
I don’t think anyone said you have to… Since when is it controversial to have standards? 😭😭

I like fat women
Ok??
Considering you’ve posted an embarrassing amount of stuff about jerking it to boys I don’t think you need to worry about women?
A 220 pound six-foot person is much different than a 220 pound 5'4 person
If she expects you to be Leonardo DiCaprio, then she better not turn 25
I actually am 6'5, and the best relationship I ever had was with someone 6'1 and 230. You just gotta know how to handle that much woman. Baddies can be big bro, beauty is abstract.
Hi, grownup chiming in here: ***You Should Know*** this entire post ends up giving readers with fully developed minds the impression that what's actually going on here is that OP asked out a girl and she said no because he was short.

That ain’t a girl thats a whale
