[Days of Broken Arrows]

In the idiotic UK paper the Daily Mail, a female writer suddenly discovered OKCupid and simply can't believe "The controversial U.S. dating site...lets you PAY to filter out fat and ugly people."

This article purports to be about both sexes, but it's really complaining that men are qualifying women based on tonnage. What's most telling is what she leaves out: OKCupid also has a height filter and it's common knowledge women filter out everyone under 5'10" -- and I'm probably being generous there. The same goes for Match.com.

A quote from the article: "All I can say is that you're pretty dumb and Z-list if you allow screening so prejudiced that some brainless body-fascist can screen out all plus-size suitors: goodbye Marilyn Monroe, Sophie Dahl, Lena Dunham, Gerard Depardieu, James Corden, Seth Rogen." Love how she threw a few men in at the end as if that's what she was worried about.

The best part is the comments section where a British guy called manabouttown had this to say: "If youre filtering all the fat people out of a dating site in the US then there will be noone left!!" Hahahaha.

@lena dunham being mentioned in the same breath as marilyn monroe.



She might as well be trying to compare John Goodman to Fred Astaire.

Why do all girls think Marilyn Monroe was fat, now?

Haven't you heard that only women can decide what men find sexy?

That being said, Monroe is your classic example of a plain girl tarted up with makeup and being far overvalued due to her celebrity. Her beauty was simply studio marketing, and her sexiness purely the fact she was signalling she was 'easy' in a time of moral prudishness.

WYB?

Yes, would bang marilyn monroe, but would definitely not bang lena dunham.

Because they want there to be an example of a fat woman who was considered 'sexy', and, as usual, feelings trump evidence and logic. Check out the debunking here:

Marilyn Monroe Wasn't Even Close To A Size 12-16

Because they're full of shit and like to lie? From a 2011 article:

"We should never again hear anyone declare that Marilyn Monroe was a size 12, a size 14 or any other stand-in for full-figured, zaftig or plump. Fifteen thousand people have now seen dramatic evidence to the contrary. Monroe was, in fact, teeny-tiny.

The 15,000 were the visitors who turned out over eight days to oooh and aaah at the preview exhibit for the June 18 auction of Debbie Reynolds’s extraordinary collection of Hollywood costumes, props and other memorabilia."

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-24...strel.html

We're talking about a group who have invented myths that we have a "rape culture," one in four women gets raped, women suffer more financially after divorce, violence is out of control on Super Bowl Sunday, etc. So it should come as no surprise they'd lie about Monroe.

Keep in mind that I consider female anger to be the weather vane of truth and wisdom. When a woman finally has a heart attack after reading something I’ve written, I’m going to start calling myself Buddha.

King Buddha.

That’s why no women are allowed to read this.

Women know themselves almost as well as I know them. They know they’re prone to emotion and anger, and they know they’re all whores. That’s why they get so goddamn upset when I say it. To a woman, calling attention to her innate prostitution is more true than anything else I could possibly say.

Marilyn Monroe posed nude in Playboy. She wasn't camouflaged in clothes, where they could use undergarments to smooth her out or hold her in. She wasn't anywhere near being fat. I can't stand how sloppy bitches refer to her to justify their own fat rolls. Marilyn was curvaceous, yes, but not fat. Fatties have co-opted "curvaceous" to be synonymous with fat. We aren't fooled...

Absolutey hilarious!!! I think some of it is for effect, but it was laugh out loud funny to see.

Also, that chick at the end was MORTIFIED by his treadmill comment. He's probably the first person in her life to point out the thing she hates most about herself. All fatties know it is repulsive, yet because nobody shames them like that, they develop an ability to reassure themselves not to take action.

In other news, men can filter out fat and ugly women in real life, absolutely free!

[aphelion]

Can you filter by height?

No doubt a free feature for women online, unlike men who have to pay to filter out fatties.

Meh, I'd pay the 5 bucks to filter out fatties and ugos in real life, if it's ever possible!

[haywire]

The way things are going, doesn't seem the day is too far when anyone with a thin and goodlooking girlfriend will get fired from his job using a twitter outrage.

[T and A Man]

You know what the fatties are essentially complaining about?

That they won't be on the receiving end of misguided attention.

Another 2Wycked narcissism post coming up me thinks.

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

Yet these feminist cows are outraged that women in Saudi Arabia are forced to marry unattractive 80-year olds.

Um... Not even going to bother

Seen that Dick Masterson vid before. The fat bitch goes from "YEAH; I'M CUTTING YOU DOWN MOTHERFUCKER," to just about breaking down in tears. Meanwhile, Dick is just smiling the whole time and laughing at her insolence.

So what size was Marilyn Monroe actually? Luckily, many of her dresses, carefully preserved, are still around to measure off of. Further, one of her dress makers also chimed in with exact measurements he took. Those measurements were 5 ft. 5.5 inches tall; 35 inch bust; 22 inch waist (approximately 2-3 inches less than the average American woman in the 1950s and 12 inches less than average today); and 35 inch hips, with a bra size of 36D. Her weight fluctuated a bit through her career, usually rising in times of depression and falling back to her normal thereafter, but her dressmaker listed her as 118 pounds and the Hollywood studios tended to list her between 115-120 lbs.
