So, I'm somewhat active on NSFW Reddit, and I'm a big fan of the sub Reddit on my SFW account. Today I had an interesting experience. I was feeling some type of way and posted a personal ad. Obviously, you're not allowed to post pictures there. I describe myself as a curvy brunette. Maybe I should've used the word plus size. I'm about a size 16, and my size has never been an issue in real world dating.
However, just now I had a guy say that curves are fine, but I'm a bit chubbier than he's used to. Obviously, I know what I look like, and I don't have to be everyone's type. The thing that offended me the most was that instead of ending it there he said that we could still chat.
I asked him why he would want that if he didn't like me physically. He said that I could still "please" his mind and that was incredibly rare. I guess this is why we post full body pictures on dating apps. However, I can't help but wonder whether some of this is just internalized fat phobia like that it's not OK to like a plus size woman. I've had similar experiences with men who have expressed their attraction to me, but then they advised me to go to the gym or something like that.
Anyway, this experience has made me so much more empathetic to the issues that plus size women face in dating. I'm sure that men don't go out with me, because they don't see me as attractive. However, I've never experienced anything this blatant until I came to Reddit. Most guys are great, but ugh! It almost feels like your body is something that they are entitled to, and you must make it nice for them. Anyway, what do you guys think? Has anybody had any interesting experiences with online dating/NSFW fun?

Woman Can't Believe What's Inside Pack of Reese's, Then She Opens Four More
"I just wanted that hit of PB," she explained, "but they have all come up solid chocolate bricks. I despair a little bit."
I can sense the desperation growing with every bite in this picture," said one user.
"I bought a box of 48 tampons with no cotton once. That was fun lol," said another user.

I was at my aunts house with my whole family and I sat in a wooden rocking chair for not even 5 minutes and one of the rocking parts broke where there was a knot.
Apparently it was a chair found on the side of the road but I was so embarrassed and I can't stop thinking about it…
Edit: thank you everyone for the very kind words, it really has helped me feel better.
Thankfully only the rocker part broke with the knot in it and the rest stay intact, so I'm blaming the chair and moving on!

I actually do accept trans people, but you should have to expect to put into the effort to be hot instead of crying that it's unfair you aren't automatically considered it, fricking dumbass redditors.

The article in question
Evidence of discrimination against fat people is widespread. In Sweden and Mexico, where including a photograph with a cv is common, researchers manipulated images to make identical fictitious job applicants seem fatter or obese. They found that they were significantly less likely to be offered interviews. Petter Lundborg of Lund University and John Cawley of Cornell University have compared the wages of thin and fat women, adjusted for education, experience and other factors, in Europe and America respectively, and found that women with obese bmis earn around 10% less than their peers.
"Ozempic has won, body positivity has lost. And I want no part of it," lamented Rachel Pick, a writer, in the Guardian.
Holy fattie

All this is to say I realized some time ago that I would never, ever be thin: I am simply not built that way. This realization, plus everything we already know about the pitfalls of diet culture, had made any attempt to lose weight seem both futile and like a good way to make me hate myself. So until last year, I had never even tried. My weight crept up, and up, and up. Finally, after a physical in late 2021, my blood sugar came up right on the border of the prediabetic range. It was clear: I had been playing with house money up to this point, but now, at 34, youth was no longer on my side.
