What’s crazy to me is that most people think I’m “skinny,” but until a few months ago, I was actually a few pounds overweight, and I could still stand to lose a few pounds because I’m right at the border between normal and overweight for most BMI calculators at 24.5-ish (haven’t done an actual medical BMI/body fat calculation though). I’m tall w/ a 34" waist, which is near the lower end of the pants sizes when I go to the store.
So when you go out looking at people, just understand that the “normal” ones may also be overweight.
Just because OOP is American doesn’t mean that “most people” are Americans… The US is about 4% of the global population. “Most people” is always global since you’re referring to everyone on the planet, you could say “most people there get fat” though.
I don’t think there’s a lot of, say, people in India posting this about a woman named Ashley. I think assuming someone called Ashley is American is a pretty safe bet. Not a guarantee, but a safe bet.
And its not like most European countries aren’t getting fatter, just not as fast as the US.
Pregnancy and childbirth are quite hard on the body, it’s one of the reasons it should be her choice whether to endure it. Of course, strict religions often don’t allow her to choose anything else. Apparently her husband chose to default on his vows, though.
Raising an infant into a child and then an adolescent and hopefully an adult is also quite hard and ages a person considerably. It puts a strain on finances, especially as a single parent, such that cheap carbs are often chosen over more expensive fresh vegetables.
And probably not truth. I’m guessing Ashley is actually relatively normal shaped, but anon is so bitter that he will focus on flaws. Ashley could also be happily married, but just not showing pictures of her hubby on her socials (I don’t post pictures of my SO, and my SO doesn’t post pictures of me, out of mutual respect for privacy).
Got fat, 2 kids, no husband does sound like a doozy. It’s not a direction many would like their life to go I’d imagine and it has to make dating a real bitch.
yea a lot of people have kids and get fat
About 40% of Americans (which I assume OOP is) are obese, so yeah, most people get fat.
Wouldn’t most need to be over 50%?
“obese” doesn’t include the ones who are only overweight. If you add those up, it’s over 70%

Yup, it could be the UK, but statistically, the US would be the better bet, just based on population differences.

Maybe he died. OOP doesn’t seem like the type for nuance

Good news, it’s probably not true, Ashley probably has two kids, is fit, and has a happy marriage.
This. And even if she did gain weight it’s not a bad thing. For him, gaining 5 pounds on a woman probably equates to 200.
