Why do a lot of yall equate their number on the scale to attractiveness? For context i had an ex who was a bigger gal, me myself a bigger person, i had said that yeah we are both big people and she told me that it was like i was directly calling her ugly,

So I don’t but all our lives we’ve been fed media about how skinny is best, how being small is the best thing. Eating a little and exercising so much you drop is healthy. Especially now with body positivity moving backwards (the constant Ozempic ads, larger clothing being taken away, the focus on being healthy etc). It’s really difficult to be positive in your body. So some women view the scale as a measure of not just attractiveness, but worth.

I don’t think you meant ill about it. But a lot of people are fed content that being fit, skinny, in a “slim thick” way is the most attractive way to be. Even though you’re not the epitome of what social media considers attractive either as a muscle-y jock. It’s an insecurity in herself when acknowledged for how she is. It’s nothing really towards you you can’t fix how she feels. Social media is the problem here and building how anyone outside of a specific image is ugly

She likely thought you were calling her ugly bc you mentioned her size specifically when usually when ppl mention attractiveness on the size scale it’s always “skinny is attractive. Anything else is not”

I don’t think she was seeing that way she probably just took it internally and ran with it
