EXACTLY ^^ Delete it please. You may not see it the way I do, but I see it that way. Take a look through my eyes, the eyes of someone with an eating disorder. Is it still a harmless joke? You aren't me. You don't know. But it ISN'T.

actually i think of it as degrading (also) because I am self-concious etc. If this is for humor then why is it in Guys Minds with a title 'rules guys wish girls knew'...??

I'm sorry that the two of you are going through such a bad thing, I really am.
But you want me or Toxic to delete it? That is really selfish and unfair to those who "get it." First of all, it's not against the TOS to post that. Secondly, I can't delete it just because it offends two people. If I deleted it to suit you, I'd have to delete every single post on this board at the request of those who don't like something.
And if I deleted every post that offends somebody, this board would not exist. I mean, you just can't walk through life erasing every bad thing that happens, much like I cannot delete every post on here that hurts or offends somebody. If that were the case, these boards would not exist. Hell, the entire internet wouldn't exist.
I know I sound harsh and un-sympathetic, but I don't mean to come off that way. I understand where you're both coming from, whether you believe it or not. I just don't think it's fair for it to be deleted when he's done nothing wrong.
Because it's just for fun. There are no rules in life that anyone must follow (well, except for laws and things like that), and I really hope nobody believes that. I wish I could explain better what is meant by this thread, but I can't find a good way to put it. But seriously, it's not meant to be taken literally.
I will say this -- if this thread hurts you, why come in here? I know I keep directing posts towards you, so this will be my last one. After this, simply ignore this thread from now on. Nobody is forcing you to read it, after all. That's something you're choosing to do.

>>That post is like me saying (and speaking for all girls)
1. Guys only look good if they are skinny have short hair cuts,listen to me all the time and are honest.<<
I think that he's saying that it's annoying when girls complain that they are fat, especially when they are actually thin. Guys don't want to hear that. They like girls who have curves and actually look like women, and they get sick of hearing girls complain about the small amount of fat on their bodies. At least, this is what guys have told me.

Oh, and I might be wrong. But I believe it is against the TOS to post anything that's triggering or may be triggering. I'll go look to see and paste in the quote if it is in there.
Edit:
"You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate..." blah blah blah
False, is it perhaps false that the girls that ask if they're fat AREN'T fat. It says if they ask they probably are. FALSE. And those two others.
Also, I believe something about triggering posts should be added to the TOS.

I'm sorry you two are going through such a hard time, but I don't think that should be deleted. I don't think it was meant to be offensive. This was just a fun post, not meant to be debated/ taken seriously.

The first quote has been deleted to keep the peace around here. This thread was meant for fun and that's all. There is some truth in here though. Many times guys complain that when a girl asks if they are fat to the guy, no matter what he says, the girl is going to put the guy on the defensive. We love you in all shapes and sizes. There are guys that prefer anyone in a size 22 and above. The Victoria Secret model is not our ideal, no meat, too skinny. <<Guys don't want to hear that. They like girls who have curves and actually look like women, and they get sick of hearing girls complain about the small amount of fat on their bodies. At least, this is what guys have told me.>> Very true. We grade on the curve. As to the long hair, it's simply a preference. Just like you like when we wear wife-beater shirts and have our hair slightly messy with a three-day beard. Happy to oblige.

That's so cute! "21. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. " "28. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. " "31. Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out. " Those are the best!!

I thought some of it was funny, kind of made fun of how people are complaining how they don't understand the opposite gender.

MFAO! they're so cute.... ;D my bf always says that: your ex-boyfriend is an idiot...and so on...its soo cute. the shoes thing: i know they think its boring when we go shoe shopping...but isn't it boring when they go sneaker shopping? ugh...!! SO BORING. like unless you decide on a specific brand of cleats or something before you go there, don't drag us along. and yeah, the fat thing was kind of offensive, but i felt its all in good taste. besides, wouldn't we get annoyed if they asked "am i buff? am i buff?" all the time? if they're w/ you in the first place, obviously they think you're attractive. *~st. pobacious!

My boyfriend's not really like this (except for that he begs me not to get my hair cut), and neither am I, but it was cute. I have one pair of shoes. One. No dress shoes or anything. And that 'Your ex-boyfriend is an idiot'... hehe, my boyfriend says that about almost any guy that I say anything about. It's funny though. And this is off-topic, I know, but I don't get why people say they have a headache when they don't want to have sex. Girls, I mean. Sex would actually make a headache better, it's proven. When a girl climaxes and everything, there's a release of endorphins and pain-killer type stuff, so it actually makes the headache better. So when you don't want sex, having a headache is not a good excuse.

15. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it! Reminds me of this time a couple of friends and I had been reading a Cosmo article about "seducing your boyfriend", which listed a bunch of subtle hints. Everyone agreed that it was a pretty bad way to go about things.
Instead we suggested grabbing his cock. All guys polled agreed that this was an excellent way to for their girlfriends to indicate interest in sex. (I will leave the exact polling methods used to your imagination)
42. Beer is as exciting for us as handbags are for you. Note to men who claim they like beer: if I asked you to pick me up some "good beer", I did not mean that I wanted Schmirnoff Ice or a case of Coors. Bud in a bottle is only acceptable once, and then only if you were actually confused about the idea that I like the way beer tastes.
