A shallow man will only date a model, but at least he's honest. A **** will date anyone, but only make the models feel beautiful. A decent guy will date an average girl, say he doesn't look at size, but his actions say otherwise. A nice guy will date a fat girl, but marry a skinny one. A good guy will marry a fat girl, but wish, every day, that she was thinner-- and she will always know. A rare guy will date a fat girl and not realize that she's fat. She will feel beautiful and think she's a model. But he's a minority, and non-model girls are a majority. There's a solution: Starve until the fat disappears. Until every guy that has ever preferred a skinny girl over you; over a girl that looks like you -- or worse -- is even smaller than you, but not small enough, would finally consider you worthy. Starve. But don't get too thin. Guys complain about that too. Now you're not pretty enough, again. Starve until you're just right -- they'll tell you how great you look; ask how you did it. You'll lie, yet again, to maintain the facade. They'll think you're disciplined -- but they don't know just how much. You can starve so they're happy; put on a smile to make them think you are too. Because you never will be -- they've destroyed your mind with their standards; you've destroyed it with striving to live up to them. You'll marry a guy who tells you you're beautiful, but your eyes are broken; an ugly, obese girl relentlessly stares back. She tells you your husband lies. She tells you food is bad, purging is good. She tells you he prefers someone skinnier, someone better. You'll never be enough -- all because some teenage boy hung up a poster of a photoshopped model on his wall -- decided that she is the ultimate goal, and, thus, your destiny emerged.

2020: yeah. I’m just really gay. That’s all. Hope you let out a good chuckle or one of those nose air puffs that indicate something was amusing.
