Her best friend was very upset by this comment, and then her best friend wanted to know if being on the curvier side was why male models weren’t willing to take her out, despite swiping on her profile.
“I bluntly told her yes,” she said. “I reminded her that even as an overweight woman, she still turns her nose up at overweight men, so how could she expect someone who takes great care of themselves to want to date someone who doesn’t?”
When she said this, she really was coming from a place of the best of intentions, and she tried to break the news kindly.
She’s seen her best friend go through the process of chasing ridiculously attractive men for years with horrible results, and she doesn’t want to continue watching her best friend get her heart broken.
She also felt it was time to stop dancing around the issue and hit it head-on because her subtlety has gotten her nowhere.
“She could get the hot guys when she was a little overweight, but she put on a lot of weight during the last two years and refuses to accept any constructive criticism or believe she can’t get any man she wants,” she continued.
“I told her she needs to be more realistic and stop going for supermodels (and guys with kids, since she doesn’t want to be a stepmom, but still swipes right if the guy is “hot enough”).”
“She also had a blind date recently and the guy never texted her, despite swapping numbers at the end of the date. She showed me his picture and he was incredibly fit.”
“She couldn’t understand why he hadn’t texted her a week after the date. She refused to listen to any possible explanations and insisted on texting him for answers, to which he never responded.”
She did apologize to her best friend for offending her, and she’s seriously concerned she destroyed their relationship over all this.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
