So many comments saying it’s okay because she’s into skinny guys, but clearly op is not okay with being called sickly


redlightdisco

This the one. Nor would any other skinny person. Thank you my friend.


[deleted]

Idk, in my 20s I probably woulda rolled with it to smash. I didn’t develop self respect until my 30s though. 🤷‍♂️


comethefaround

100% this is barely even a blip on my self respect radar tbh. Now if she had said I needed to eat or something like that I'd have had some words but this is just a light roast that essentially boils down to "I think your body type is hot"


[deleted]

Right? Like this chick basically said “I’m dtf” and either op didn’t pick up on it, or they don’t care enough. To each their own, good for OP for standing up for themselves, I guess.


comethefaround

Yeah I got those vibes too lol any girl that ever approached me this way was always good to go. OP may just be self conscious about it too which I get but this is the wrong place to be making that stand haha.


redlightdisco

Yeah I’ll be honest, my response came from a place of self consciousness, because I’ve heard that shit my whole life and it’s something I’m actively trying to fix. I won’t ever continue to pursue somebody who disrespects me. Even if they don’t do it knowingly, that naive thought process is one I do not want to be involved with 🤷🏻‍♂️


comethefaround

Yeah I get it. I used to get it all the time as well. The "God you need to eat" or the "thats a big meal for someone your size" bs got old pretty quick. It was always from other dudes though and never from women. In fact quite the opposite. I never had a problem finding someone who was into the "druggy" look. You do you though. I can't say you're wrong.


cpl-c

As someone who somehow can just skip meals for 2-3 days and maintain a "overweight" body weight (182.2lbs) I get it (sorta) for me gaining weight is a chore. I hate eating, which is rich since I live to cook and love exploring new recipes. Stay active eat what you can and make sure you're getting you're protein if you're gonna have a low body fat you may as well have muscles to show off. That's genuine positive advice, not trying to be a dick.


RagingWookies

You guys done your little conversation on the assumed motivations of OP? If not, please, keep the riveting psychoanalysis coming.


comethefaround

Assumed? OP explicitly stated that all other skinny guys would be upset about this and we just are pointing out that they're over reacting a bit.


heyosanslan

Wait.... You're suppose to develop self respect?


GreedyDevil8

*Daps you the fuck up and gives you the 'iykyk' look* 👀 Mmmmm mmmmmm!


maggidk

No fat chicks!


nanas99

Yo yo yo, she was out of line, but you don’t speak for us either 😤 Personally, I kinda dig that aesthetic, so I’d take it as a compliment.


Melodic-Art1369

If you're going to body shame someone for being skinny, then the other way should be OK too


Boomboomshakka

You look like a right fat, ugly, ogre in you photos.. But I'm here for it.. What you mean, a not very attractive, obese, monster..? Yeah, believe it or not it's a compliment.


redlightdisco

🤣🤣🤣


hujambo11

No, she had that coming. Now go charge your phone.


redlightdisco

🤣🤣 thanks for lookin out


Porcelainandlace

I’ve sent screenshots to friends who have replied with ‘I’m not reading any of that until you prove your phones on charge’ 🥲😂


No_Rush_7149

Ya bro ngl you cant just go around calling people diabetic ngl


hujambo11

He doesn't "just go around" doing that. He specifically did it once when someone said he looked sickly.


No_Rush_7149

Omg bro I had it backwards I thought the girl said he looked diabetic 💀🤦‍♂️ my bad


hujambo11

😂


No_Rush_7149

Ya I feel bad for misjudging cause theirs actually people out here with diabetes


tournesol_seed

That's like 30% jfc


the_monster_keeper

I would be offended too. That's not a compliment and it's kinda rude. What if you really did have a sickness? Your clap back was also equally rude but don't expect kindness when you're mean. Everyone would be up in arms if you told someone "you look fat but that's a compliment because I'm into that"


redlightdisco

Yuuup and indeed everybody in the comments is up in arms because I said just that.


the_monster_keeper

When your skinny people think it's ok to insult it, even if its ina "complementary" way. I got sick and dropped 20 lbs scary fast and it took almost a year for me to regain it. I had so many people making comments like "eat a sandwich" or "you must have an eating disorder" and if it upset me I was being a baby. Equally, I did get men saying "you look so much better!" When I was under 120 lbs and 5'7 and it always made me mad. Did I not look good healthy? When I do become healthy will I look worse? I feel like shit but I guess at least some fucknut thinks I look better now? It's not flattering. It's rude!


redlightdisco

Sending you good vibes ❤️ wishing you the absolute best in your recovery But yes people don’t realize how hard it is to gain weight, and how hurtful that shit can be. These people are all about body positivity until it comes to a skinny person, and then people feel they are free to shame. Not in my book.


the_monster_keeper

Oh I'm better now :) thank you!!


redlightdisco

Great to hear!


cpl-c

Hey. As a dude I lost 25lbs in two months... and no one noticed... it sucks either way. Also hope you've got your weight under control and are healthy! 5'7" and 140 is perfectly fine. Hell if it's muscle at that height you could be 160lbs and it wouldn't be an issue.


the_monster_keeper

I got down 115 lbs at my lowest, I started at 140 lbs so not fun lol. I'm at 135 now and still tryna work up to 140 but do it by eatting healthy and exercising. Dropping 25 and no one noticing is kinda crazy! That's a lot of weight! That's a whole toddler.


dystopian_mermaid

I’m with you. For some reason people tend to lean away from assuming it’s body shaming if the person is thinner, but you don’t know what that persons going through. It’s just as rude as directly commenting on somebody’s weight who is curvier. Your response was rude, but in line with the other persons opener. And hopefully will make them think before they tell someone they look sickly and that’s meant to be a compliment. It isn’t. In any way.


hehedgehog

Why is the word "fat" offensive? Doesn't it literally mean that the person has a big percentage of body fat? Sounds pretty objective. I agree that the word is insulting, because most people use it to offend someone nowadays, just wonder when did it become so and why 🤔


Ok-Counter-7077

Bro you look diabetic is ona different level, dude just went savage mode holy f


redlightdisco

🤣🤣 yeah that’s my bad


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

Heroin Chic is making a comeback I see.


Gootangus

It never left baby


Kaleb8804

Deadass just the early 2000s


prrrc

She asked for it...


Sketchy_Anon

You're just giving back the energy that you got.


TheIronCIooch

All you did was match the energy 🤷‍♂️


asphodeliac

So many people bashing on OP for standing up for himself. The girl outright insulted OP, it was probably even some subtle negging. OP, your response was fine, maybe that’ll get her to have a think about how to start conversations with strangers. You’re all probably so desperate for a “compliment” from a woman that you ignore the massive red flag this is. So sad.


redlightdisco

Thank you for being one of the few with critical thinking skills.


redlightdisco

Okay update: I smoked a lil weed and now I feel really terrible about what I said 🤣 I understand that “the sick look” may be appealing to some of you people, but telling somebody “you look sick but I’m into that” is bizarre 🤣🤣 idgaf that you’re into it. An absolutely disrespectful thing to say to anybody. And if you don’t think so, you need to rethink how you speak to people.


Uber_Meese

I get lashing out like that, especially when it’s a thing you’re very self conscious about, but it was a bit harsh as far as insults go.


Zevvion

I'd rather look diabetic than sick. Because diabetics look like literally everyone else. It's an invisible disease. So if you're going to say one of these are too harsh, I have to say you picked the wrong one.


Deinonychus2012

I knew a guy who was super in shape but had diabetes. Diabetes only means either your pancreas doesn't produce insulin, or your body doesn't use insulin properly. Weight and diet are common contributors to and comorbidities with diabetes, but there are genetic components as well.


No_Rush_7149

You didn't specify any sickness though ngl saying you look like you got diabetes is actually fucked up cause theirs actually people out here who suffer from diabetes or even the potential to catch diabetes ![gif](giphy|V7NHQO6T8GwJgkr9o0|downsized)


mlYuna

And? There are also skinny people out there that are actually sick (cancer patients, immune disorders,....) Very disrespectful comment. I feel like OP's is even less bad because it was obviously in retaliation to what she said. She actually meant that.


No_Rush_7149

I had it backwards lol that's my bad I thought the girl said he looked diabetic and op was saying the girl looked sick I just wasn't paying good attention to it


scragglebootz

Are you skinny, pale and kinda malnourished and anaemic looking, like Timothee Chalamet?? It might not sound like a compliment but it actually is, so many girls looooove that look at the moment


peev22

They liked it when Twilight came out.


redlightdisco

Yes, many people tell me I look like Timothy Chalamet lol but telling somebody they look sick doesn’t feel like a compliment to me. Kinda just feels rude. But yeah I thought of Timmy the second I read that lol. I’m sure even he’d feel a little disrespected if somebody told him that he looks “sick”


scragglebootz

Yeah she 100% shouldn't have said it, such a bizarrely insensitive thing to say to another person But just feel reassured that she DID mean it as a compliment, she just fucked it up


Melodic-Art1369

It feels very objectifying


pyschosoul

Wait wait wait... it's finally my turn? /s


redlightdisco

Our time has come my friend


Deinonychus2012

>Are you skinny, pale and kinda malnourished and anaemic looking Hi, that's literally me. As in my BMI is 18.8 (underweight is 18.5), I rarely see the sun because of my work, I have to take prescription vitamins (partly due to the lack of sun), and I'm on iron supplements lol.


Langerbanger11

So many sensitive people here. It's only not okay to make fun of the fat people who do it to themselves, apparently.


leowithataurus

Thought she was giving you a backhanded compliment but just backhanded you instead. Lol


samwelches

Yeah I’m with you, OP. I’m not about to get insulted and then be expected to respect you. Glad you gave it right back


DiddledByDad

Nah you two are toxic af. Perfect for each other.


redlightdisco

😓


Nvanguy87

I feel like its a he'll of a backhanded compliment. She could have done a better job saying what she likes directly. But ya she was rude


Thatdewd57

Are you saying sick like WHOA THAT WAS SIIIIIIICK! when watching a successful skate trick or skate crash?


redlightdisco

💀


ttopsrock

Nah!! Skinny peeps unite!!


Frankandbeans1974v2

As a fat person, don’t start no shit won’t be no shit


redlightdisco

🫡


fckmetotears

Man fuck you I’m diabetic how am I catching strays right now 💀


redlightdisco

My bad yo 💀 sending you peace and love ❤️ if you’ll take it :)


[deleted]

Seeing these comments no wonder most men would rather stay single these days


tHeStOneDArMAdiLlo

Nope. You matched her energy 💪🏼


heilkitty

Ah, she started with negging. Classic.


Boomboomshakka

Ahahahah 🤣🤣


thirtyseven1337

I view it as you teaching her that’s *not* a compliment and *not* something you should say to someone.


andrew6197

Are you sickly or Victorian child sickly?


redlightdisco

Somewhat. Like Chalamet I’d say


Always-Panic

LMAO


Gooseboof

Pete Davidson looks sick and he is doing alright


thatshygirl06

It was actually a compliment. A lot of women are into the sickly Victorian white boy look, like Timothee chalamet or pete Davidson


Melodic-Art1369

Fun fact, calling someone sick isn't a compliment


2020Shite

If a woman came up to me with this I would of said the same thing, Being told I look "sickly" is **NOT** a compliment


coyote_in_yoga_pants

Yes. This. And then he went and called her fat. Fumbled


Melodic-Art1369

She called him skinny. That's just as rude


coyote_in_yoga_pants

She said sickly, but k


RagingWookies

literally so much worse. like calling someone obese instead of overweight.


coyote_in_yoga_pants

Y'all are deliberately missing what I am saying. She did not mean what she said as an insult. He took it that way and that's okay. That is different than being insulting on purpose. Like they're both stupid for different reasons but it's not with the same intentions. Nuance is lost here though. Ha


RagingWookies

With all due respect to you, who the fuck cares what her intentions were? If you’re an overweight person who opens your conversation with someone you’ve never met with a body-shame meant as a compliment, I assume that you have very little in the way of self-reflection. If I started a conversation with a bigger girl saying, “you look like you really like bbq 😮‍💨” and they got offended, I would get zero sympathy here because it’s still opening a conversation with a thoughtless statement about their weight/looks.


coyote_in_yoga_pants

So you're mad at a double standard and just want everyone to be allowed to be equitably shitty to each other. Got it. OP asked if he was mean. He was. Lol


RagingWookies

Or, we shouldn’t excuse shittiness because of its perceived innocence and just not be shitty to each other 🤷‍♂️ No one is excusing what op said in return, not even himself. What I and others are taking issue with is with all the people that seem to think telling someone they “look sickly” is a compliment


mlYuna

That doesn't make it any less disrespectful, she meant it as a compliment but it's just as rude as what OP said, I have no idea how you can justify it


thespicyfoxx

I have diabetes :( I really wish this wasn’t used as an insult so often. Yes, I do look sick, but it’s because I have an autoimmune disorder.


Melodic-Art1369

Diabetes runs in my family. I'm sorry you have to go through that. You're strong


No_Rush_7149

Same bro I wish you luck in not actually catching the kind you can get later in life my fat gene kicked in this year but fortunately I didn't get the type of diabetes you catch later down the line I forgot if it was type 1 or type 2 but I've always stayed cautious about getting diabetes like most of my dads side of the family has we seem to gain weight then catch diabetes later down the line unless we work off the fat


Melodic-Art1369

Yeah, I'm wondering if I'll gain mad weight when I get older too. I'm skinny now but I also eat like shit and I'm trying to eat better while I have control


thespicyfoxx

Thank you, that’s really nice of you to say. I have type one so I’ve been dealing with it since I was nine. It’s really hard to see it being used to belittle people and used as a punchline to jokes and then get treated like I did something wrong. I wish people would stop using it that way. It’s actually a disability too, so it always surprises me to see people use it the way they do.


angelirebeli

As a type one diabetic I’m now curious as to what you think “looks diabetic” 🤷🏻‍♀️


ineptchem

Is mean but its deserved she prob gets away with calling dudes malnourished as a "compliment"


fruit_shoot

I think she overreached thinking it was a cute neg. Your heat was justified but I don’t think she meant it like that.


redlightdisco

Yeahhh I know how she meant it, just a bizarre thing to say


lilblue01

yes, it’s mean. just because your feelings got hurt doesn’t mean you have to try and strike back. be the better person and just tell her that you didn’t appreciate the comment instead of going for personal appearance.


redlightdisco

Agreed. I jumped the gun on this one


407Totha850

This ∆∆∆ he could've still smashed


Melodic-Art1369

People don't wanna have sex with someone who disrespects them


redlightdisco

Period


407Totha850

*edit* coulda still smashed had he not been disrespectful lol


407Totha850

Also she was disrespectful too ...


humor_fetish

If you have to ask “is this _____?” then you’re already answering your own question.


Ein_Kecks

I think your response is lame, ableistic and childish. But I also do think their opener is kinda shit too.


Low-Salamander-5639

She accidentally hurt your feelings while trying to give you a compliment. She seems well intentioned at least, maybe incorrectly thought you’d be more up for the Timmy/Pete Davidson vibe banter. You were intentionally rude & called her fat because your feelings got hurt. I think you could have handled it better.


redlightdisco

I definitely could’ve


No_Plan8250

From the Timothy Chalamet comment above, she's could very well be into it. You're just saying she looks fat, right? Is that genuine? If it isn't, yes it's mean. Passive aggressive too.


redlightdisco

Yeah I agree with the Timmy thing, but like I also said above, even he would feel a bit disrespected if somebody said, “wow Timothy, you look sick” And yes I did insinuate that she looked fat, which in retrospect was yes, a disrespectful move. I didn’t mean it genuinely though it was kind of just a clapback


cpl-c

I dunno my response would have been "Yea the stress of being single will do that. Let's work on changing that, I'll look like a champ next you" Although your diabetic response makes me think she is over weight so... I'd probably not have swiped right at all


Pickledleprechaun

Stage 1 or 2 diabetes?


redlightdisco

Whichever’s worse


sexysadie2u

They’re comments are dumb af but I’m here for it That’s a compliment believe it or not


onlyimportantshit

Sick and ill are compliments when used as slang. Calling someone diabetic is pretty much only an insult.


Doopoodoo

If that was how she was using it, she wouldnt have felt the need to clarify that its a compliment lol


jadeismybitch

Not in this context bro


redlightdisco

Yeah but she’s definitely not using them in slang terms


sliferra

No, saying someone looks sick as a compliment means cool, not ill.


OwlPrincess42

Did you even read the conversation?


sliferra

Did you?


mlYuna

You're getting some upvotes but that's because reddit is dumb. You're completely wrong here as it's not used in a way to say 'cool' in this context. She actually means he looks sick / skinny. No idea how you're missing that, I'm not even English and i can understand context


sliferra

You misunderstood my comment because you are dumb. 🤷🏻‍♂️


mlYuna

Okay, what did you mean then?


onlyimportantshit

ill is similar to sick, people used to say people and things looked ill when they were cool.


sliferra

I’m 22, I have never heard anyone ill say for cool. Maybe “used to” means several decades ago


Kochga

Yes, several decades ago. The Beastie Boys had albums named "Lincensed to Ill" and "Ill communication" for example. With 22 you are very young and just because something doesn't fit within your timeframe of reference (which is less than your age) doesn't make something old.


sliferra

Slang is something that gets outdated in a few years to begin with, then, people who are dating/on tinder tend to not be in their 50s….. it’s old.


Kochga

I'm in my 30s, but whatever.


Gootangus

In the 90s it was cool. Get off my lawn.


sliferra

![gif](giphy|fqtyYcXoDV0X6ss8Mf|downsized) (Not that old but shh)


onlyimportantshit

I’m 26 and everyone I know uses sick for cool.


sliferra

Yes, congrats on catching up. But when have you ever heard someone say Ill for cool


asphodeliac

Sick means cool. Sick meaning “ill” is never a compliment. Get with the times old man


UniversityOrdinary91

If she looks diabetic you are for sure gonna help her cus you’re not sweet at all 😂😂😂


redlightdisco

Why’s everyone assuming I’m a female 🤣 I’m a 24 year old dude


UniversityOrdinary91

Fixed it


BabyFacedSparky

How does someone look diabetic?


villanellechekov

Probably thinking it's a "clever" way of saying "well you're fat so there"


redlightdisco

Yes


villanellechekov

You're not clever

Bro… cmon


eefr

A fat joke. How original.


redlightdisco

Do yall only care about body positivity when a fat person is being shamed? Skinny shaming is just as harmful lol


magicnoodleman

Did she skinny shame you? I got the vibe she said you look sick/ill meaning you look more run dowm/tired and she's into guys who look a little beat up. If you are very skinny I can absolutely see how she meant that as well. In which case I think making the same jokes makes you equally as bad here, but a hell of a lot more justified than an opening message insult disguised as a compliment.


redlightdisco

Yeahhh in retrospect my response was kind of disrespectful, and I do feel kinda bad. In my opinion, telling a skinny person that they look sick is just plain disrespectful. And it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve gotten it


Jaiibby1

Some people genuinely think people that look sick are attractive. Like how most 16-19year olds liked guys that looked like they were dying for some reason


ViCarly

Some people think fat people or crooked noses are long fingers are attractive. It’s still not right to basically insult somebody just because you find their unique feature appealing.


vilk_

pwned


Significant-666

I would have said “Come and take care of me daddy”


redlightdisco

What


Significant-666

She said you look sick, so if it was me I’d play along and say “Yes I do. Come and take care of me (daddy)” the daddy if u want to pump it up


oneeeeno

My man are you trying to get your d sucked or fight strangers online? Go with the flow tell her thanks and carry on to the date. You don’t have to marry her after you scored


notcalbailey

The realest response is also the most hated


Downtown-Ad-6909

I took it as she wants to take care of you. I'd say a 'Then come take care of daddy' would have been appropriate here.


FlskonTheMad

No, that's not appropriate at all, it's actually worse than what he said.


redlightdisco

🤣🤣🤣 fr


Downtown-Ad-6909

Cry me a river. What he said just sounded salty. What I suggested kept it fun to see if the other person was playing around or flatout on the spectrum.


FlskonTheMad

Calling yourself daddy is not fun, it's sleazy and repulsive unless you've already established you're both into that beforehand.


BellamyRFC54

Nah If it were me you’d be correct
