Do guys get offended as much as girls do....

.... when you bring up their weight?. If a girl tells you you need to gain weight or pushes you to eat more do your feelings get hurt? I'm sure some guys do get their egos hurt of course. But do they take it as bad as women do? Idk, because guys have more of a Idgaf what anyone thinks attitude.

Because I always tell guys they need to eat more and it just occurred to me that maybe I'm being rude.

Nope. I love it, it makes me laugh when a girl tells me I need to gain weight/lift more. It hurts the ego for like 1 minute. Then it acts as motivation

From my experience, quite a few do

Guys will often claim that they don't get offended, then go off on a massive tirade once you say the wrong thing

FYI, you may have been a little rude lol.

I mean I think for both men and women there are individuals who are more sensitive and those who really don't give a damn about what someone says about their appearance. It may appear like there are more sensitive women due to the fact that women tend to be more open and willing to talk about these thing. Guys have this pressure to be a "tough guy" and have this weird man pride that kinda makes them feel like they need to act like they're invincible and that if they show that some comment has gotten to them they're a "pus*y" etc. So I reckon that comments like that do get to guys, but they just basically try not to show it at all, which is pretty upsetting

Unless there extra sensitive about how others view them, not really. It's more of a girl thing to get offended easy, due to the fact society places a lot of pressure on them to be perfect all the time.

Nah, we usually laugh it off, hug, and move on. Ladies could learn a thing or two.

I always say it in a concerned manner. But still.

Hell naw, I like being skinny. If someone thinks I need to gain a few kg then I respect that but at the end of the day I'm pretty happy with my physique.

I think guys in general care less.

How much do you eat, calorie-wise in a day?

No way I did once and learned my lesson. Never again.

In my experience no

Less than 1200 calories probably I stopped counting just trying to enjoy summertime stress free. Point?

No.

Tbh I think i do have the "idgaf what anyone thinks" attitude.

A few months ago this guy saw a photo of me and said I was "overweight". I found it rather rude and was annoyed for a while. But then I realized that there's nothing to be annoyed about because 1) I'm not overweight, 2) my BMI is healthy and 3) why should I care what some guy thinks.

Just because I'm not skinny like a stick it doesn't mean I'm overweight. I ended up ignoring this guy and we never spoke again.
