How long does it take for guys to view their female friends as just friends?

So, let me get this straight... by your own admission, your "girlfriend" (scare quotes, due to my suspicions that you are a lonely virgin troll) has not put on very much weight, perhaps a few extra pounds at best. And this is a fairly common thing for most people, even healthy and/or fit people, to go through. People's weight tends to fluctuate throughout their lives to varying minor degrees.

But you somehow have decided that minor weight gain is indicative of a trend that will lead to a compulsive eating disorder that will turn your girlfriend into Big Momma from Honey Boo-boo, and you have decided to... in the "sweetest" possible way... inform your "girlfriend" (still not buying it) that you think she is turning into an ugly fat piece of crap, and then when she gets mad at you, you somehow blame "feminism" and some imaginary double standard that only exists in your diseased mind. Not sure if troll, idiot, or hopeless shitbag... although I guess those three things don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. I'm gonna go ahead and say you're a triple threat.

"Seriously people, I do love her for who she is but how do I make her see my perspective?" I'm afraid that's impossible. No one can get their head that far up their own @ss.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
