...which is not shaming . I encouraged my friend to take much better care of himself but I would not go so far as to make it emotionally painful for him .


This is a stretch for you.

I'd need to see the data on how much it helps. It's definitely gratifying though, but I'm a bit of a sadist.


I also condone harpooning the whales.

so long as the intent isn't purely malicious any amount of shame could be helpful in some way i think


...shaming someone is just another way to humiliate them .

Nope, married people live longer, make more money, have more sex, are more emotionally stable, and pay less on car insurance.

I also waited 4 years, didn't have a big wedding, and made sure we communicate well before I made the decision to get married.

Fat people definitely never get told that they should be ashamed of themselves, and more shame and making them feel terrible about themselves is absolutely going to solve problems. The main reason people are fat is because they don't know that it's unhealthy.

They also get a nice tax deduction, as well as many other bonuses.

I'm pretty sure they know it's unhealthy, the problem is food is addictive and they are most likely making food choices based solely on the misinformation from the food industry.

I am definitely not a romantic, but my wife is basically deaf to romance so it works out. I'm INTP, she's INFJ. Same approach, but she's more emotionally aware than I am, and I'm more rationally aware than she is.
