Shallow

Today, my now-ex girlfriend showed me a picture where she was 120lbs overweight and asked me if I would still date her if she ever looked like that again. Being honest, I said “No.” She broke it off with me because of that. Apparently I lack “good moral character” and “it’s giving red flag.” FML

It's a crap thing to say, but I wouldn't call it misogynistic, lots of women dump men when they get fat as well.

My friend, you were set up to fail from the start with that whole scenario. Even if you were telling the truth by answering "Yes," she'd have accused you of lying and the outcome would have been the same. The only red flag was her and the games she was playing.

I feel sorry for any girl who ends up with you. What if she births your kid or gets into an accident and can’t work out anymore? Heaven forbid she gain some weight. You’re a sick misogynist bastard. YDI

True, but the difference between a man and woman is that it is guaranteed that a woman is going to experience weight gain if they plan on having a family. Not sure if he wanted that in the first place, but if he, or she wanted a family, then she dodged a bullet if he truly feels that way.
