Ah, here's the documentation I was looking for.
BlackShanglan's argument was not that fat women face challenges in dating - everyone faces challenges - his argument was that men have an equal dislike for fat women as women have of short men.
Here is the documentation, the damning words in larger print.
The word that BS used which I was looking for, was counterbalancing.
Counterbalancing means to contrast with equal weight or force.
Given that there are many examples of large populations of men who will actually go actively look for plus sized women to date, much less the larger set of men who do not mind dating plus sized women, and no evidence of anything CLOSE to a counterbalancing population of women who would not mind dating short men, his "counterbalancing" argument simply does not hold - in fact, it's downright stupid.
Even Doll Parts laughed today when a guy told her she's too fat to date. If Doll Parts can get laid, hell, come on now, srsly.
I also want to point out how BlackShanglan showed his ass here, too:
Let's examine this flawed logic.
Contention:
Women can lose weight.
Counter argument:
Rigorous studies prove you're wrong. Translation: you are wrong when you say women can lose weight. Thus, BlackShanglan's argument is: women cannot lose weight.
On its face, this argument is utterly absurd. There is no rigorous study that shows that women cannot lose weight. This argument needs only one example to prove it wrong: and that example would be Oprah Winfrey.
But BlackShanglan shot down his own argument here:
Statistically speaking, less than 25% of obese women have any likelihood of losing weight and keeping it off.
If BlackShanglan were in any way capable of rational thought, he would have realized that his statement - that obese women have a 24% chance of keeping off the weight they've lost - implies that there is at least a 24% chance that an obese woman will lose weight.
In openly conceding that 24% of obese women lose weight and keep it off, he absolutely tramples all over his claim that rigorous studies prove that women cannot lose weight. He tramples his own argument 24 times over, in fact. At the very least.
My point was, that while an obese woman can lose weight, a short man can never become taller except with platform shoes.
An obese woman can become the woman a fat rejecting man desires - in fact, she has a non-zero percent (24% or higher) chance of doing so (and a 24% chance of remaining in this non-obese state) - but no short man ever has any remote chance of becoming the tall man that a woman desires, because a man's height cannot be increased with current human technology once he has become an adult.
BlackShanglan is too much of a child to admit that there is no rigorous study that proves that I am wrong when I say a woman can lose weight: Oprah Winfrey puts a stake in that argument. BlackShanglan is not adult enough to admit that saying a woman has a 24% chance of keeping her weight off, automatically implies some women do lose weight and thus he has killed his original argument one more time over. His understanding and use of the word "counterbalancing" is also verifiably wrong.
And nope, he didn't even come close to a retraction - when his argument arrived DOA, he went apeshit. I was the first one to pierce his bubble of logical infallibility and sense of rampaging GB Godzilla-like dominance over those he debated with. And as a direct result of this exchange, his hostility towards me skyrocketed to infinity and beyond.
This is why I put him on ignore. He's too much of a child to admit when he is wrong.
