In this episode with the creator of @gayfatfriend Todd Masterson, we talk about fat shaming, body dysmorphia, comparison, and the pressure of being fit and looking ripped in the gay community. Todd shares why gay men are obsessed with their weight and appearance, his theory about why many guys are afraid of fat people, getting fetishized for being fat, his journey of accepting himself, and how he deals with comparison.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About Todd Masterson&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Todd Masterson is a writer and comedian best known for his online persona GayFatFriend.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/gayfatfriend/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/gayfatfriend/</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@gayfatfriend\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.tiktok.com/@gayfatfriend</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About Me&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I’m George Lizos, spiritual teacher, psychic healer, and #1 bestselling author. Growing up in a small Christian community, I was judged and rejected for being gay and different. After a futile two-year attempt to change who I was born to be, I called myself a human abomination and almost took my own life. Fortunately, in my darkest moment, I saw the light and ventured on a healing journey of love, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yet, my gay dating life since hasn’t always been all roses and rainbows, and my past dramas and traumas have definitely kept things spicy. Fast forward past many awkward dates and disappointing sex, I Created Can’t Host to challenge toxic gay stereotypes, explore the complex dynamics of gay sex and relationships, and create opportunities for healing and growth. <a href=\"https://georgelizos.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://georgelizos.com/</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Connect With Me&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://instagram.com/georgelizos/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://instagram.com/georgelizos/</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Website: <a href=\"https://georgelizos.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://georgelizos.com/</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@iamgeorgelizos\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.tiktok.com/@iamgeorgelizos</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Facebook Group: <a href=\"http://www.yourspiritualtoolkit.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.yourspiritualtoolkit.com/</a>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>My Books&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Be The Guru: <a href=\"https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1TtCj\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1TtCj</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Lightworkers Gotta Work: <a href=\"https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1TmKf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1TmKf</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Protect Your Light: <a href=\"https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1TmJd\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1TmJd</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>","author_name":"George Lizos"}
