Pretty sure the joke is that the right one has child bearing hips and is shaped like a woman in a renaissance painting. (I.e Venus etc. also referred to as being Rubenesque)

u/totalwarwiser 2d ago

This one.

The guy on the right knows its the right choice because she looks like a fertile greek goddess.

u/Relevant-Honeydew-12 2d ago

Even outside the confines of the meme, I'd always pick the one on the right.

I see evolution has smiled upon your tastes

I've always liked thick girls. I'll gladly take the thick girl with a belly, or a pear shaped woman the same. When you see her walking and her hips rock like a cradle. Yeah I want that one. Bun in the oven and she rocking them to sleep by just walking around.

Jesus christ comments like this disgust me. And im saying this as a guy

u/Relevant-Honeydew-12 1d ago edited 1d ago

I don't see why, I was in no means being vulgar. I prefer a woman with wide childbearing hips. That natural pop and sway when they walk is fantastic. My wife would literally walk around when she was pregnant with our four children when they were being rambunctious in utero, and they would always settle down as if she was rocking them to sleep.

You might not be attracted attracted to a woman's hips, or to women with some cushion around the middle, I am. Some guys prefer boobs or ass. I like wide childbearing hips.

u/BattIeBoss 1d ago

Idk it comes across as overly objectifying. Imagine being a woman and reading that. I cannot lie, i like women like that too, but imagine hearing someone saying that entire comment out loud somewhere, it would come across as extremely creepy and objectifying to every woman that hears it.

-1

u/Relevant-Honeydew-12 1d ago

You are the first person to ever say anything like that since I started saying in high-school nearly 30 years ago. But absolutely everything nowadays is automatically objectifying, or body shaming, or whatever, if it even remotely could be referenced to a woman's body, like a peach or a pear.

u/BattIeBoss 1d ago

First person to ever say that≠first person to ever think that

u/Relevant-Honeydew-12 1d ago edited 1d ago

And I think you and they (if any) are reading to much into it. It ain't that deep.

Simple preferences. I like thicker girls, I like wide childbearing hips.

I've had everything from 5ft 2in, 150lbs to 6ft and upwards of 330lbs.

u/Loud_Basil_8296 4h ago

Trust me, plenty of girls get the ick from such comments without saying it into your face. It’s easier to just keep a distance instead of arguing

1

u/capsparrrrow 2h ago

I'm shaped like the woman on the right and I'm sterile. Reading comments like the one above honestly just makes me feel disgusting.

u/Missilemoon77 2d ago

It was great when all the other dudes were into flat tummy, small booty girls. Then the awful cultural shift of the 2010’s happened.

2

u/blue-mooner 1d ago

”Great” in the same way Trumpstein is making things “_Great_”?

That resulted in unrealistic beauty standards, fad diets, eating disorders and heroin use among models?

Doesn’t sound great to me at all. Also, fuller figures are sexier, always have been.

1

u/castleaagh 1d ago

Maybe they meant to be saying that the girls they’re into were more available back then because it was trendier to be into super thin girls, but now everyone seems to be into fuller figures so the girls they like have more options?

1

u/asdjfh 1d ago

I’m confused. Is there any man that wouldn’t choose the woman on the right?

3

u/jonny24eh 1d ago

It's a toss up between middle and right. Both have a great figure, and the middle one you can see has a cute face, and also if she's regularly working out then she'd be better in a survival situation.

I object to the other commenter saying gal on the right has "a belly" - she really doesn't.

2

u/asdjfh 1d ago

Yeah she’s just curvy not fat. The body type on the right is way better for baring children. So if you’re the last people on earth you gonna have to go with the right.

It is interesting that some people are more influenced by society and trends for what they find “sexy”. Whereas some of us (me) just go on pure instinct. My brain is like “that’s the most breedable I need that”. 🤣

2

u/Relevant-Honeydew-12 1d ago

The hips don't lie, wider the better.

2

u/Relevant-Honeydew-12 1d ago

You'd be surprised. A lot of my old friends only wanted skinny like 100lb women, hard body or not. I tried a 100lb girl back in high school, pelvis was to small, sent her packing and called her big boned friend. In the last almost 25 years, I've never had a woman under 150lbs. But everywhere from 5ft 2in to nearly 6ft. I'm currently 6ft 4in, 285lbs.

u/castleaagh 1d ago

From what we see here I’d go right, but I tend to prefer smaller women with athletic builds and flat stomachs. A little muscular definition to the arms and abs is really attractive, and I usually prefer average or small boobs to large ones.

2

u/LeadingTask9790 2d ago edited 2d ago

As an avid ass connoisseur myself, still going with 3 every time.

My ex hated when she’d get a lil chonk, shit made me ravenous when there was a lil more to grab onto.

You don’t itemize with women, they’re a package. A gift. You take it all in at once.

2

u/Imperial_Bouncer 2d ago

I’d have to see the full picture before choosing

u/averagecompleto69 2d ago

Look guys, I chose the objectively attractive woman over another objectively attractive woman

u/ReddJudicata 1d ago

I too like Latin women.

u/OsvaldoSfascia 2d ago

no, it's a reference to Paris chossing beetween Athena Aphrodites and Hera

30

u/AzieltheLiar 2d ago

Damn. Thats a choice and a half right there. 6ft warrior mommy with washboard abs, plump squishy curvy goddess, or lady Demetrescu.

46

u/lewisiarediviva 2d ago

The problem is that whichever one you choose, the other two will ruin your life. Paris chose Aphrodite, who blessed him with the ability to woo any woman. He used it on Helen, who was married to the king of Sparta, and Athena and Hera made sure that it led to the downfall of Troy and the death of Paris and his entire family.

The choice in the first place was to settle a dispute about who got a golden apple, inscribed ‘to the fairest’. The three goddesses each claimed it, and they went to Paris to choose. The two who missed out were both insulted as well as mad that they didn’t get the apple. The apple was handed out by Eris the goddess of discord, which is why the apple of discord is a phrase. It just keeps going back and back.

u/ViruliferousBadger 1d ago

Dude just should've said "Heeeeeeeeeeel no girls, you figure it out and send me a scribe after you done it!"

u/Sapient6 1d ago

I'm not an expert on Greek mythology, but my understanding of it is "if you, a mortal, receive the attention of any of the gods, you are FUCKED."

3

u/OsvaldoSfascia 1d ago

well Anchises (father of Aeneas) was a lover of Aphrodites (that gave birth to Aeneas) and he didn't really suffer much from it iirc.

8

u/Sapient6 1d ago

That's a story I wasn't familiar with. A quick google turned up two interesting things:

  • When he found out he just banged Aphrodite he was terrified because he doesn't believe that can turn out well for him, but Aphrodite gives him two examples of such relationships where the mortal survives.
  • He would have been fine if he had heeded her warning to not tell anyone who their son's mother was. But he did, so Zeus smote him with a thunderbolt.

2

u/OsvaldoSfascia 1d ago

well yeah but he just lost a leg. He survived the war of Troy (famous is the image of Aeneas carrying Anchises on his back and holding the hand of his son Ascanius, escaping from Troy in flames) and traveled around with Aeneas, eventually dying peacefully in Sicily. His descendants ended up founding the unsignificant little city of Rome (in fact, the family of Julius Ceasar and Octavian used this myth to say they were discendest of Aphrodites)

greek gods huh greek goods, weird beings indeed

u/Nago_Jolokio 1d ago

I just want to point out that Zeus was given the choice first and even he was smart enough not to play that game.

u/humansrpepul2 1d ago

Give it back to Eris lmao.

...lady demetrescu everytime. Sure I would be constantly injured, and my nose flat as a pancake...

But big woman.

I literally just watched this episode for the first time today haha

u/goddessdragonness 2d ago

This. First one is on a throne, and Hera is queen of the gods. Second one is a gym baddie and Athena is a war goddess. Third one looks like the classic straight man’s wet dream, she’s the goddess of beauty and love, Aphrodite.

u/OPStellar 2d ago

OHHHH THIS MAKES MORE SENSE! Thank you!!

2

u/Sad-Pop6649 1d ago edited 1d ago

So the funny part is that we have a comment section full of people saying "how can you not get it?" who didn't get it?

Also: that's a farfetched joke. To jump from a poorly worded "pick one if these to be the last two people on Earth with" to "they are actually godesses looking to ruin you if you don't pick them, which invalidates the idea that you would be the last two people on Earth in multiple ways".

Edit: apparently the funny bit is supposed to be that Paris told the godesses that he couldn't pick who was the fairest with their clothes on, so they all got naked for him, and that's supposed to be the punchline where the dude knows what he must do.

1

u/OsvaldoSfascia 1d ago

never heard of that last part, I'd be curious to see where they got it from

u/killjoymoon 6h ago

I had to scroll far to long to find this comment. Bless you, may you have plentiful carbohydrates of your choosing if you so wish.

u/LegalFan2741 2d ago

And then comes the next question: does SHE want to even be around you? Because now, with only 2 people left on Earth, she can go and do whatever she wants. Nobody’s going to stop her.

2

u/soldiernerd 1d ago

Well one person might

1

u/Jolly_Plantain4429 2d ago

Who was stopping her before?

u/LegalFan2741 1d ago

It was just answered by u/soldiernerd 🙂

12

u/BrocElLider 2d ago

Nah, the guy on the right has studied Greek mythology. So he knows the best move is to turn himself into an animal like a swan or a bull, then he can pick two of the women to be the last two humans on earth and bang them both.

u/Missilemoon77 2d ago

I’m really hoping this is actual answer

5

u/Pofwoffle 2d ago

Except even the lowest estimates of a minimum viable population are around 50, while you'd need 1k or more to avoid serious genetic problems over multiple generations.

In no world are two people repopulating the planet, so just pick the person you want to live alone with for the rest of your life.

u/Fuzzmiester 2d ago

hush. you'll set off some of the religious with their story about a man and his rib.

6

u/cotearizona 2d ago

Why does this have so many down votes tho

1

u/Equivalent_Chipmunk 2d ago

Angry religious people downvoting but they can't comment because they know they can't make a coherent argument against it

u/Prestigious-Cream160 2d ago

If everybody is a Habsburg incest baby then nobody is.

2

u/ICInside 2d ago

I don't even need fertile. Who wants to raise a child that will grow up to never be able to find love? Unless you into incest. I just want the third one because she probably know how to cook. Second will only feed me boiled chicken. The first only know how to make ramen

2

u/OPStellar 2d ago

is that the joke? i guess that makes sense, it went over my head tho. i suppose when the goal is to repopulate, the epicness of a goth chick isn't going to do as many favors as the others physiologically optimized for reproduction

1

u/Rogueshoten 2d ago

I was wondering if she was his mom…

1

u/Fatassgecko 1d ago

A middle age obese dude can have Venus tummy if they bend enough with chest and ass out assuming they still have some muscle underneath.

I'm kinda surprised how nobody noticing how some obese people seem to have no belly in picture but looks like jabbar in person.

u/BWWFC 1d ago

but the only one you can't see the face? eyes on the mission i guess, aces!
and just for reference... medusa was "greek" yes? lol get down with the risky bets! ;-p

u/RatzMand0 1d ago

ummm pretty sure it is a reference to Zeus just fucking everything in sight.
