    Why would you seek somebody’s advice if you’re not willing to take it? Sure, I get the idea of wanting to be validated, but you also have to accept being told what you’re doing is wrong.

        It is very obviously satire of the fat acceptance movement.

        They just inverted the genders and kept the rest of the analogy and lingo as similar as possible.

            Nobody says all men’s bodies are beautiful, healthy, sexy, desirable, ect. Lol, they would immediately and rightfully be told to stfu.

        Yes this is satire but unfortunately people like this do exist. As for the why, they are seeking validation

      I’ve stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.

      He gets really upset that I won’t spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I’m not sure what.

        time invested is his love language, time intentionally poorly invested must be love if its not annoying.

      Well, it’s just a fabricated story, so it doesn’t need to make sense. The real author may be plus sized and the doctor’s advice may be real, too, but I think there’s a simpler explanation than excess amounts of steroids.

        This story may be fabricated, but the idea of the story is very real.

      Why would you seek somebody’s advice if you’re not willing to take it?

      People are dumb as hell. Between working retail and working first line IT support, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had someone ask me a question and then immediately disregard the advice. I got to just expect idiocy when I was asked a technical question at work.

      Thankfully I’m in a much better gig where people value my opinion.

      The difference between advice and a command is u can choose to ignore advice.

        You can choose to ignore commands too. And just as with ignoring advice, there will be consequences, but you always have the choice.

          The consequences of ignoring advice are at ones own hand tho.
