This might be sexist of me to say this (especially as a woman) but I feel like this is vastly more true to women. Women have so many ungodly pressures to be beautiful and perfect in every aspect (body, hair, makeup, clothing, shoes, purses, the "beauticians" at sephora keep telling me to try drawing on my eyebrows for crying out loud), the kind of woman that lets herself go has to be functionally retarded. But men? Men can be fat and still be successful and taken seriously, have good jobs, and given that statistically and historically men are more likely to let themselves go with age (beer bellies mostly), it's almost acceptable (gag).

Men don't really care about what purses or shoes you wear though, that's for other women.

But yes, fat men are disgusting.

But mayo fatties also have terrible personalities: they're usually entitled, aggressive, oblivious to their SO's needs, morbidly jealous, and often pack an erectile dysfunction to boot. I don't think they're more acceptable, but more accepted, mostly because our patriarchal society is taught to overlook male issues more than female ones.

This is a great exercise: look at how differently homosexual couples deal with everyday issues. If I ever arrive drunk at home and hit my partner, he'd probably kill me in my sleep. And yet, several women are beat up every day and they just put up with it.

Also, it's not sexist of you to state your experience, it'd only be sexist if you blamed it on being a woman itself.

This is sorta off topic, but re: your eyebrows, you shouldn't have to draw them on, merely fill them in. I have dark brown hair and I still fill mine in. Not like this which is a bit extreme and called 'power brows', but something that merely emphasizes your shape but is 'filled in' would probably be fine. I actually get a lot of compliments on mine when I do them vs not, though usually from women haha. Also if they're fat don't take their advice, obv. Fat women go for fatter brows, and it always looks bad.
