wow
watch the fat guy version of this video—where it’s a skinny guy turned fat and the girls meet up with him. it goes SO DIFFERENT. they actually talk about things other than his weight, and he even gets kissed.
oh, society.
Reblogging because I hadn’t seen the fat guy version. Most of the women are shocked and a little put off at first, but not a single one bails, even when he says some things that they obviously dislike (he tells a woman who works with children that he can’t stand kids, and tells another that he hates dogs). They all give him a shot, even if they don’t feel a connection. The men don’t even stick around long enough to get the to know the woman, and instead focus completely on her appearance and the fact that they feel lied to.
“…and the fact that they feel lied to.”
They didn’t “feel” lied to, they were lied to. You have every right to bail on a date when someone is dishonest with you, and this bullshit “social experiment” where they prop up some pretty fit girl in a fat suit to make themselves feel better about “walking a mile in someone’s shoes” while completely representing larger women in a negative light by being completely underhanded with the test subjects rather than, you know, actually listening to the experiences of heavier women who get bailed on even when they’re honest or get ignored in real life on the daily, is fucked up. The reason women respond differently to the dude in the fat suit is because of the way women are socialized to be kind to men to not hurt their feelings even when they should, and now they have to sit there with this guy who lied to them and try to make conversation, and you know what? If they bailed too, they’d have every right. This is a shitty experiment. Stop reblogging this nonsense.
