you recently posted about having lost weight. notably, you said you were however-many pounds *down from your peak weight*. presumably that peak weight was unhealthy, and you are becoming healthier. (congrats btw.)
why did your weight reach a peak in the first place?
i don't disagree with the post i'm reponding to prima facie; you're right that there is a path and that people ought to walk it, literally as much as figuratively. however, you should also know as well as anybody else here how easy it is to be led astray.
instead of chiding those who refuse to make positive effort, do exactly what you have done and set an example. anybody who fails to be inspired into taking care of his or her health deserves to lay on the bed they are making. do not busy yourself trying to save them.
also, appearance and health are not singular things, once attained then locked away. instead they are the stemming and curtailing of constant processes eroding your mind and body. with this in view, every bit of energy you spend telling strangers online what they ought/ought not do is wasted, and would be better spent doing these things for yourself.
This is ironic, too, though, because men tend to rate women much kinder on the looks scale than we rate you guys... & likely other women (meaning you're actually more likely to date a 5, feeling as though she's a 7 by the scale we rate you).

But you're right... there are several non-looks qualities that raise male attractiveness for women, whereas women are less dynamic in that regard.
The dating market makes no sense, I regularly see smokeshows pairing up with unemployed dudes that don't bathe regularly

My advice for men is that you can't allow yourself to care what women think because it fundamentally doesn't affect how they evaluate your attractiveness
