This Guy Has An Opinion On His Wife’s Looks And The Internet Can’t Decide If He Is A Jackass.
I came across this Instagram post that Tedx speaker Robbie Tripp made about his wife a few days ago and since then the internet has gone crazy about it.
On the surface it seems to be a very loving tribute from husband to wife. There’s a lovely, happy photo of the couple on a beach and in the description Tripp explains what he loves about his wife.
He says “I love this woman and her curvy body. As a teenager, I was often teased by my friends for my attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) bro might refer to as “chubby” or even “fat.” Then, as I became a man and started to educate myself on issues such as feminism and how the media marginalizes women by portraying a very narrow and very specific standard of beauty (thin, tall, lean) I realized how many men have bought into that lie. For me, there is nothing sexier than this woman right here: thick thighs, big booty, cute little side roll, etc. Her shape and size won’t be the one featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan but it’s the one featured in my life and in my heart. There’s nothing sexier to me than a woman who is both curvy and confident; this gorgeous girl I married fills out every inch of her jeans and is still the most beautiful one in the room. Guys, rethink what society has told you that you should desire. A real woman is not a porn star or a bikini mannequin or a movie character. She’s real. She has beautiful stretch marks on her hips and cute little dimples on her booty. Girls, don’t ever fool yourself by thinking you have to fit a certain mold to be loved and appreciated. There is a guy out there who is going to celebrate you for exactly who you are, someone who will love you like I love my Sarah.”
Many people sang Tripp’s praises, saying more men should be like him and this is the type of man women need:
Others were shocked at Tripp’s post. They thought what he portrayed as a ‘feminist’ attitude was actually just him patting himself for loving and being attracted to his own wife, despite her ‘flaws’:
The debate rages on. What do you think? Do you think he is setting a good example for other men? Or do you think he is just another douchebag who still thinks it’s his validation that matters to women?
