Bumble bans fatphobic messages and body shaming
My account was just deleted. What the hell does "fatphobic" even mean? Are any of you scared of "fat" women? Am I not allowed to have a preference anymore?

Were you swiping fat chicks just to then call them fat?
I put in my bio that I'm not looking to be with a "big" woman
That’s it???
Fatties would rather find 100 things to blame than take accountability and have some discipline I swear to god
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭bro just don’t swipe on the fat ones then
hahaha I've always wanted to do that. I don't see how that's any different than girls saying "swipe left if you're short" or "swipe left if you don't want to dEfUnD tHe PoLiCe"
Having that in your bio just makes you lose out on potential matches with actually hot girls who are looking for a decent human being.
They gotta IPO soon so they’re gonna be even more PC
Smfh. Might as well try grinder at this point...
how does bumble know you were fatphobic? did you mention anything about fat or skinny in your profile or any messages you sent?
My bio. I stated something along the lines of not wanting to be with "big" women
bingo - there it is. Bumble is run by women, with features intentionally made to suit women.
Dating companies have learned, if you have women, then the men will come...so they will always be skewed to favor women's issues.
90% of paid features in the dating apps are only paid by men
lesson learned...don't do it again
What's crazy to me is how they say nothing about women who have height preferences and etc on their bios. Its only ever a problem if men have preferences.
Where have you been the last 10 years? Gender double standards are hardly new. Bumble is a dating app made by a woman who left Tinder because it was toxic. How surprising is it honestly that they have a pretty clear bias?
Made worse by the fact that height is not something one can realistically change. Anyone can lose weight with even basic effort and self awareness.
Stop lying. You have an obvious irrational fear of fat women!
I'm scared they might eat me... Yes.
Not really, because when they try to chase me, I can usually run a lot faster than them.
A brisk walk should keep you a good distance away.
Nah fat chicks love hiking
They can run?
Despite their massive bulk, hippos can run faster than humans -- up to 30 miles per hour!
Pretty incredible that at the time of my posting there has not been a single monkey shit thrown in this thread
just like how homophobia is irrational disdain for homosexuals, fatphobia is irrational disdain for fat people. is it so hard to understand that the root "phobia" doesn't always mean "fear of"?
it's also unclear to me why you need to express disdain for fat women in your profile by saying you're not into large women. you can express this desire simply by swiping left on them - it's really that easy! including an explicit line about disliking fat women only serves to make fat women who see your profile feel bad about themselves, and they get shamed enough for that as it is.
alternatively: consider leaving your fatphobia out of your profile because many skinny women who are conventionally attractive would swipe left on you because they think you're an asshole
Edit: can't say im surprised at the overwhelming negative response to "treat fat women kindly" - classic WSO! i suspect trying to have a nuanced discussion of the causes of obesity, fatphobia, and sexism is impossible here. all i can say is: therapy can really help you unpack and confront your personal shortcomings!
Not sure what you mean by irrational. They seem overweight in a rational manner - they ate more than they exercised. This is just pure science. People have the option of choosing their SO by certain standards. Because they are fat, does that mean I will not treat them with respect and as a Christian? I will absolutely treat them with respect. But, I can choose not to date them. This is not fat shaming. This is survival of the fittest. Biology calls it 'fitness'. Look it up.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitness_(biology)
"The term "Darwinian fitness" can be used to make clear the distinction with physical fitness.1 Fitness does not include a measure of survival or life-span; Herbert Spencer's well-known phrase "survival of the fittest" should be interpreted as: "Survival of the form (phenotypic or genotypic) that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations."
i'm sure you have plenty of rational reasons for choosing not to date fat people, my guy. clearly, you're an honest man of science and christianity, and i would not dare impeach your rationality.
however, i would make the distinction that the act of putting "no fat women" in a dating profile is fat shaming. nobody's forcing you to swipe right on fat women, but stating that explicit preference doesn't do much besides making fat women feel bad for being fat.
Did you really just equate not liking fat girls with bigotry?
You also can’t rely on swiping since a lot of fatties use pics that are straight up lies or from before their metabolisms caught up with them.
Straight up. And these same women wonder why no one wants to date/hang out after one meet. Well if you didn’t lie to me from the get go, we could have at least been friends but you can’t even accept it yourself that you’re overweight.
not once in my comment did i bring up bigotry lol
but since you did - whether or not disliking fat women is bigotry is irrelevant to the fact that putting a statement like that on your profile is disrespectful and rude.
it's funny people lie about their appearances precisely because they encounter fatphobia. if we didn't treat fat people like shit, maybe they'd be inclined to use more accurate photos.
Phobia literally means fear, you disingenuous bastard. Don't try to change the meaning to "disdain." Someone slam him with MS. I ran out of mine.
roger
oh look! someone who doesn't understand the nuances of english language
illiteracy is a disease to which i say get well soon, and maybe try reading a book while you're at it
The gays have buttsex and do interior design. Who cares. The fats waste resources, speed up global warming, burden our healthcare system, complain how cold the office is, and use beach umbrellas on busy sidewalks in the rain.
As others have said, there is no reason to put your dislikes in your profile. Put only positive things. I'm sure you'd be fine with "looking for someone active who wants to get outdoors and run" or whatever. Dislikes only suggest that you are a disagreeable person.
There is also no reason to say negative things about a woman's body on dating apps. I also don't want to date fat chicks, but you can just leave them alone, swipe left or unmatch. What do you gain by being mean to someone else?
How is your wife's boyfriend doing?
he is impressed w/ my diamond hands
Yeah, I basically agree with this statement. It's in poor form to comment on a person's body--it makes you look like a jackass.
I also agree with what others are saying that women have a long, long, long, long--and did I mention long?--list of dislikes in men that they are more than comfortable putting up on dating websites, from straight-up saying they won't date men of a specific political persuasion to dismissing 40+% of the male population for an immutable quality like height. Also, a study from OKCupid found that white women were the most racist dating group in America.
I totally agree - and I don't know about you, but I find it very offputting when a woman has a long list of dislikes in her bio. I imagine women feel the same. I'm not saying you should date fat chicks - I don't. I'm saying you should just ignore them and not feel the need to be overt about it, as that isn't going to benefit you in any way.
If you are under 50 and over a certain bodyfat % you should be deported. Change my mind as to why this wouldn't make america the greatest country on earth
It would also render it the emptiest...
LMFAO what the actual fuck? I wasn't expecting it to take such a left turn there 😂
What if a certain BF had to go to labor camps - lol - actual labor camps for fitness. Haha this has to happen. Even senators would be required to go. It would make sense - for cardiovascular health.
I’ve been banned from one of the apps for something less bad than saying “I don’t like big girls”. Just have to be more cautious
What is worse though, checking if a girl is overweight by seeing her Tinder where she's fit, and seeing on Insta she has been packing.......... I always check Insta for recent pics................. I am often disappointed...............
I have a "minimum 3 photos rule" - in order to tell if a girl is hot or not or fat or not. She needs to have at least 3 different photos on her dating profile, preferably in 3 different settings. Never fails.
I've met and dated for a while 2 intensely hot girls off of dating apps. Both looked mediocre, at best, in their profile pics. After we started dating I never asked them about it, but I do wonder if they purposely made themselves less hot in their profile pics. I think it may at least be plausible that some next-level girls are just sick of being bombarded.
True, I know a few girls that decided to roll back or almost fully remove their social media profiles and don't update them really, to tired of creepy dm's and just wanted to find something substantial. However most hot or semi hot girls seem to love the attention lol
Any hot girl on a dating app is a serious red flag. Any chick can land over 90% of eligible guys. What does that say about her if she needs to seek outside of her social network for dates/relationships? If she needs a dating app to meet people she’s fucked up, plain and simple. Woman literally get 1000s of matches and they’ll use you for your money. If you’re looking to get laid just stick with hookers-less effort and cheaper in the long run.
If you want a relationship meet girls in person. Yoga, gym, Barnes and Noble, pharmacy, grocery store, every day places, etc.
But.. But... daddy government says its illegal and immoral to pay off prostitutes
They’ve been some of the most honest transactions I’ve had-much more honest than the majority of dates. Just wear a rubber King.

Eh I have old coworkers/friends in PE and big law and they are on apps. For girls that go out all of the time though I’d agree
Liberals can run from reality as much as they want. Nature will fat shame the fuck out of obese liberal women, straight into the grave and they have only themselves to blame for. Not ''society beauty standards''. Men want someone who's healthy, because it's an indication of being able to take care of herself (and potentially kids). Being fat means you are lazy and lack discipline. Who wants to date any of that?
And as a reminder, this is the world that liberals want.
I rebuke.
Agree about SJWs but Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Tiffany Trump exist too
Fair point. Though at least Trump had replaced her with Kayleigh McEnany. Hope Hicks is a beauty as well.
I once had this pig sit on my lap and she shattered my femur. I've been scared of these whales since
It’s fine for women to have physical preferences, but if you do, you’re a sexist pig.
