>Someone brings up women having unrealistic body standards
>Someone tries to counteract it with "b-b-but men!"

That thought is combated by the fact that you also see fat and nerdy guys find success. Characters don't need to have washboard abs to get the girl. Look at any number of sitcoms where the lead is a fat middle aged guy or a nerd yet he has a hot wife/gf. Since you see multiple types of guys successful in every way, a chiseled body doesn't register as a necessary attribute.

Women don't really get both sides. Female love interests are almost always good looking throughout all forms of media. Examples of a woman being desirable due to her skills regardless of physical appearance are almost non-existent. It stands to reason that seeing this one-sided presentation of success trains women to recognize physical beauty as a necessary attribute and care more about appearance.

It doesn't matter what men are told, if what they are told is out of sync with reality.

The only way ugly men get pretty women is if one or more of the following applies:

1. The man is rich
2. The woman has daddy issues
3. Did I mention if the man was rich yet?
4. The woman is a chubby chaser
5. Seriously, the man needs to be rich
6. The woman has suffered from some sort of severe trauma that puts her off of reasonably attractive men
7. Seriously, the man needs to be loaded if he hopes to get anywhere.

here's the deal. You need to accept a few facts before you start trying to change shit

1. Gamers are predominantly male and have been for a long time. That 50/50 statistic is bullshit. It uses statistics from pretty much anything that is considered a game. ie: phones, ipads, ect. So, when you're grabbing muhsoggyknee female tropes from AAA games, you're doing shit wrong because the AAA demographic is predominantly male. Accept it.
2. People want to look at attractive things. It's what we like. The guys are ripped, the women are ripped. There are very few games with intentionally ugly characters. Hell, even max fucking payne looks pretty good and he's drunk as shit and bald.
3. Comedy is not the same as drama. When you play video games, the story is almost always drama. When you throw around "LOOK AT SITCOMS", you're trying to compare apples to oranges. Fat fucks with pretty wives is fucking hilarious BECAUSE WHY WOULD THAT EVER HAPPEN? It's absurd, so you laugh. Games are not working with this idea. Games are working with "what makes this dramatic/interesting", and as we see from point one, it's interesting and way more plausible that beautiful people are with beautiful people


So, with those in mind, you're basically complaining that women are too pretty in games. Sure, maybe they are. But you, specifically, are attacking the point that there are lots of ugly men in video games, and that is simply not true.

> Examples of a woman being desirable due to her skills regardless of physical appearance are almost non-existent.
this harkens back to my 3 main facts. This statement is also true: Examples of a man being desirable due to his skills regardless of physical appearance are almost non-existent.

Let's be fair here. That mostly arose as an antithesis to the earliest sitcoms where the dad/male lead was basically the ultimate font of wisdom(e.g. The Andy Griffith show). It was subversive.

>The point is that men are told that they can be successful no matter what they look like, while women are told that they can only be successful if they're physically attractive.

Whereas the reality is that men can't be successful in dating without being attractive or rich, and women do need to be physically attractive to find a mate and physical beauty matters more to their worth. You're arguing in favor of lying more which seems retarded. The solution isn't "have more fat ugly women", it's "have less fat slob dads".

The only reason it's even set up that way in SITCOMS and not VIDEO GAMES by the way, is the relatability that children have to the image. Meaning that as they get older, many children will have fat dads and moms that still look kind of normal. While it's not to the extreme displayed on TV, it's something that many middle class white americans can relate to.

Pretty sure most of the guys on websites like Return of Kings don't get punched in the face on a regular basis.

Well, actually, it is the freedom to be an asshole. It's just not freedom to have other people associate with you after you're an asshole. They have free will too.

Men carry fat differently to women.
When a woman gets fat it just piles onto the already fat bits, so it really just enhances their curves, to a certain point. Obese women are just as disgusting as fat men, but a big of chub on a woman only serves to enhance.

When a man gets fat it just hangs messily off of everything, making him look floppy and gross. Men are supposed to be lean and flat, women are supposed to be thick and curvy.

or maybe it's simply that you haven't yet taken the time to notice that men such as you and I share rather iconic speech patterns. There are a few common tells that can illuminate you to the fact that you're not dealing with yet another of the simpleminded throngs. I leave it up to you to uncover them!
>>
>>285461105
also keep in mind that the fat dad on sitcoms is harmful to men as well. He's always a lazy, drunk, dumb bastard and the woman is allowed to make fun of him

Just look at social media. Women are allowed to claim superiority in something over men. Men are not allowed to claim superiority (not without backlash). It happens all the time. Women are allowed to call men stupid, or call them ugly, or basically say anything they want about a man.

Men cannot do this to women. We were brought up to treat them with respect, and part of this is sitcoms. The man almost always treats the woman right, unless he's cracking a joke which he always reconciles for if he goes too far.

The woman in the sitcom is not accountable AT ALL. she does what she wants when she wants.

These examples are what our children are looking at and its destructive.

so (not you specifically) fuck off with this "men can achieve anything no matter what they look like" bullshit, that is not the problem
