I know there are alot of anti-big people on this forum. But I have to say, good on these women, this guy just wanted to have fun.

It felt like those guys who made fun of him don't dance, and if they don't dance, well then they're no friends of mine.

It is possible he wasn't dressed very neat from his hat to his feet.....

Maybe they were acting like imbeciles?

Was he, in fact, performing the safety dance?

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Nagh, he wasn't looking at his hands.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

Probably work

Well, that's the capriciousness of the internet for you.

I've lost 5 lbs in about the last month without really doing anything other than drinking a little less. I can't dance though. I can skank however.

This was wrong.

Folks who say living like this is "healthy" are wrong, but that is not the case here. It was just a man who was having fun. Anyone who ever mocks that, is an donkey-cave.

Good on the interwebz for coming together for this guy.

Saw it on Facebook and was really glad to see such a great idea coming out of it. The internet can be a nice place sometimes!

A little bit of faith in humanity restored.

Wonder what's going to happen this week to take it back away.

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

It's easy to SJW on the internet. How many of those women would turn this guy down based on his looks IRL?

The old meta is dead and the new meta struggles to be born. Now is the time of munchkins.

If they throw the party, they will meet him IRL. Beside, if ugly people, men or women, never manage to find a life partner, we would know. It is not the case.

Just to point out, there's nothing wrong with turning people down because of their looks. There's something wrong with shaming them, as this is just poor behavior, but it's just as poor to look down on people who turn others down because of their outer appearance.

Or, to put it another way, certainly very few if any of them would see it for the first time of their life and think “I want to date that guy”, but certainly none of them will think “I refuse to even speak to that guy”. And if they do start talking, I guess things may come one after the other, depending on everything he is beside his physique, those things that you cannot tell about him just by looking at him.
