I didn't finish the list because I hate those kind where each number is it's own page. I mean come on, don't the people that design those read Cracked?
Anyway, I can see a few of them working, but mostly these are just terrible. I could see my brother doing most of them, though. I hope that when I have a girlfriend, we are able to have open discussion with each other without tiptoeing around subjects like this. Then again, I have terrible personal hygene, and it'll probably be her telling me I'm fat.

I think I have feminist blood in my veins, I'll look into it.
The guy who wrote that plainly doesn't get any. According to this, anything bigger than a size 8 is fat. Why the hell would you be with someone so shallow? People's appearances may change, but they're still the same person. If you're concerned for their health, that's lovely, but if it's because they're no longer a trophy wife, you're a dick.
Successful troll s successful. He will end up getting stabbed if he carries on like that.

#'s 6 and 3 on that list doesn't seem THAT asshole-ish, especially #6. The other ones, I'd be very, very careful with. Women aren't stupid and they WILL know what's going on.
Anyways, I'm a very blunt person in general, so I'd come outright and say what's on my mind. I do my best to stay in shape too (#6 if you are too lazy to click the OP link), and that's usually motivation enough. I guess you could say I stay fit for her, so she'd probably do the same for me. If not, whatever. Not meaning to offend the ladies on this site or elsewhere, but as long as my girlfriend weighs about 50lbs less than me (I'm 200lbs), that's cool with me. Just a personal preference. If you aren't my girlfriend, weigh whatever you'd like. All ladies are beautiful regardless.

I agree with you on some of these points, the guy (or amaebous internet life form) who writes these lists is a total jerk (especially that social leper list). Just be careful what solid objects you apply your face to.Monkfish Acc. said:
No. Even the seemingly benign yet manipulative "go on a diet/exercise plan yourself" tips will be seen through in an instant by any woman with half a brain. If you have a relationship issue the best trick is just to discuss it openly. However if fat really is a relationship issue for you, you might want to do some introspection before opening your gob in front of your partner.SonicKoala said:

LOL at Ctrl+Alt+Del white-knighting in typically lead-balloon fashion. Pfft.
I've used number 8 and number 3. Actually worked too 
And I got some extra exercise out of the deal as well, so EVERYbody wins!! XD

When I first clicked on this article I was going to call you an arsehole for making such an insensitive post. After reading I agree with you. That website is about as misogynistic as it gets.
I'm going to get flamed for this but fuck it.
A few years back I had a very slim, very sexy ex who got kind of fat while we were together yet I always told her she was still gorgeous... in the end I didn't know if I was doing her a favour or a dis-service because she got so fat it was bad for her health, and I had done nothing to encourage her to get healthy again.
All the time she was piling on the pounds, snoring loudly next to me every night I thought to myself:
'Am I not worth making the effort for?' 'Am I not worth looking good for, but all the guys before me were?' 'Don't you care that you're physically unattractive for me?' 'Do you not care about your health?'
And girls, before you accuse me of being sexist, think about this. If you have a gorgeous, fit boyfriend who was always that way until he met you and suddenly balooned out, would you not be
a) less physically attracted to him than you had been
b) a bit offended? Wouldn't you think 'oh shit I must have something to do with this...'
There are of course exceptions, some people gain weight because they're unhappy and so on, but if someone turns from a hottie into into a greedy, lazy fat slob stuffing thier face with chips, that is not attractive. That is not an opinion, or a sexist remark, it's bloody animal instinct.
The problem is there is no polite way to express this to your partner. If you tell them they're fat you will be resented. End of.
See, we can't win! Should I have have told her she was getting fat? Maybe, but she'd have hated me for it.
Disclaimer: Please don't take this post too seriously, I am aware every situation is different and that's just my personal experience with things.
Also, the article was pretty funny but very stupid. Most girls would see through those kind of 'hints'.

I can't believe this is an article. If you're with your girlfriend, you're with her for who she is, not what she looks like.
Some people are happy being larger, some are happy being smaller, so why change the person you fell in love with, just because you'd prefer them one way or the other?

I totally agree. It's not even funny tbh. If it was a list of funny stuff that no one would actually ever do I could laugh, but this is the kind of thing men do to be controlling. I've been in a mentally abusive relationship like this it's not amusing.Machiavellian007 said:
Don't get me wrong I can laugh about most stuff other people would find offensive but this is manipulative and awful.
I think the article was generally awful. It was absolutely disgusting and filled with such shallow ideas. If the girl you're with gains weight, why the hell should you care? If she gains a lot of weight, then just inform her. Why act like a complete jerk and manipulate her? She's human too!
Actually, i agree with the set out on your own weight loss plan. Not only will she lose weight through shame, you will lose it, and she can join you later as a paired activity.
