Guy Banned From Dating App After Responding To Woman's Question With Fat-Shaming Reply

Guy Banned From Dating App After Responding To Woman's Question With Fat-Shaming Reply

Fatphobia is rampant in popular culture.

It's nothing new, with a history dating back to the turn of the 20th century, when fatness was swapped with thinness as a sign of wealth in the upper-class.


Fat-shaming shows up everywhere—with young girls the age of eight and young boys the age of five, all the way up to celebrities like James Corden and Lizzo.

Now, it shows up as body shaming of women on dating apps like Bumble, where women are given the power to message matches first.

Florence Simpson shared her firsthand experience with fatphobia on the app. Her honesty resulted in the offender, Ben, getting banned by the app entirely.

She tweeted:

In her opening line, Simpson said:

"OK, picture this. You're off to big Tesco & ask if I want anything. I say 'surprise me.' What are you bringing home?"

Ben replied with a single word:

"Slimfast."

Why consciously match with someone to harass them for their size and waste both people's time?


Many women shared their own stories of fatphobia as well as their opinion of Ben.












Though, one bright side was many people got a new opening liner they could use.





Simpson also got a response from Bumble.

The company said they are removing Ben for his horrid behavior.



Thankfully, Ben will not see another day body shaming women on Bumble, but this definitely isn't the last time we will see a story like this until fatphobia and body shaming is no longer accepted.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.

People Share The Best Ways To Shut Down A Debate With A Flat Earther Family Member

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
