A
lot of people responded to her post but a comment from a male user
stood out and is now going viral four years after it was posted.The
Reddit user with the username SavageHenry0311 wrote:I'm not
"mansplaining" or trying to discount how you feel - I'm offering a
perspective that might help. Believe me - I know what it's like to
dislike your body. I got zapped in Iraq and I've got some unsightly
scars, and I sometimes struggle to accept that I'll never be as
physically capable as I used to be. Fucking sucks sometimes.Anyway...I
wish I could let you into a man's head as he's falling in love with a
woman. It's a process that's so alien, so strange, that I'm afraid
you've got to experience it to believe it. But it's as real as death and
taxes....Sometimes, a guy will meet a gal and think nothing of it.
Maybe she's a co-worker, classmate, or his buddy's friend. She gets
mentally categorized as "Female, acquaintance, feelings neutral". Then,
he gets to know her better. If they mesh personality-wise, something
fascinating happens in the man's mind. He starts to notice things about
her appearance - pleasant things. It starts small - one day he realizes
he likes looking at the curve of her nose, or where her ear lobe meets
her face.It's nothing he can put his finger on or describe,
really...just that looking at that part of her makes him feel good. He
starts wanting to do that more. Then, he notices an expression she makes
- could be her genuine belly-laugh, or the way she furrows her brow in
concern - and he gets a little flutter in his chest.They stay friendly
for awhile, get to know each other better.Then, one day, she hugs him
goodbye....and he can't stop thinking about it. He plays it over and
over in his head - the feel of her breasts through two shirts, her arms
around his back, her smell...he finds these little mental movies of her
playing unbidden when he's driving somewhere, squeezing out his other
usual daydreams.Shortly thereafter, the guy realizes that whenever he
looks at this woman, he feels good. He likes her lines, her curves, her
sounds and smells...It's like she's gradually turned from a
black-and-white photo into a 3D color movie with surround-sound - a
perfect movie that makes him feel good. He starts wondering what he can
do to keep her around, to make her happy. He realizes that he likes
looking at her more than any other human being in the world.To him, she
is perfect and beautiful.A man in love with a woman doesn't see her
objectively. There is a filter there, or some kind of participatory
illusion. He does not see who you see in the mirror. He is seeing
someone beautiful and perfect and sublime, and it's one of the most
powerful things in his life.Go watch a happy old couple that's been
married for decades. Watch the man's eyes. Sure, he may appreciate some
young woman's ass in yoga pants or whatever...but watch his eyes when
he's looking at his spouse. If you're paying close enough attention, you
can almost see the filter click on when his gaze settles on her. In
that moment, he's not seeing the same frumpy empty-nester that you or I
see - he's seeing something wonderful.No shit. If I hadn't lived this
stuff, I wouldn't believe it either. But it's true. 
Other Reddit users applauded the man for his post and said they agree with him because they've experienced it too. 
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) describes the effort by the APC to
justify President Muhammadu Buhari's neglect of our fighting troops,
leading to the killing of over 100 soldiers by insurgents, as abhorrent,
reprehensible and a slap on the sensibility of Nigerians. The PDP in a
statement signed by its publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan today,
said by this, the APC as a party has fully demonstrated that it is a
dysfunctional organisation which attaches no value to the lives of our
soldiers or other Nigerians, but more interested in seeing funeral
ceremonies and gloating over the graves of its victims. Read the rest of
the statement below...Why would the APC attempt to wave off
revelations, which are already in the public domain, that officials of
the Buhari Presidency are diverting funds meant for military equipment
and welfare of our soldiers to finance Mr. president's re-election
campaign.If the APC were not jittery over revelations that it is a core
beneficiary of this evil racket, why is it rushing to defend the
Minister of Defence on findings that he diverted military funds to
produce campaign materials for the APC including an electronic momento,
with APC logo boldly inscribed on them?The APC, in its hallucination,
forgot that Nigerians already know that the neglect of the Buhari
Presidency led to the killing of our soldiers and that the President and
the APC had remained unconcerned and only started shedding crocodile
tears after a public outcry on the killing and their ominous silence.We
challenge the APC to explain to Nigerians why it took President Buhari,
as Commander-in-Chief, a whole week to express 'shock' over the killing
of over 100 of our soldiers?Does that not portray our President as a
commander who has abandoned his troops and cares less of happenings in
the front?What has the APC to say to the fact that the Buhari Presidency
failed to act on the threats by insurgents to attack the military base
days before the deadly invasion and killing of our soldiers?What has APC
to say to the fact that at the time our soldiers were being attacked by
insurgents, our Service Chiefs were busy participating in President
Buhari's re-election campaign rally and launch of Next Level mantra,
stolen from a foreign institute?What has the APC to say to the fact that
instead of being at the forefront of investigations, our Minister of
Defence was busy using military funds to produce campaign souvenirs for
President Buhari and the APC?It is therefore an unpardonable assault on
the sensibility of Nigerians for the APC to, in anyway, attempt to
justify President Buhari's negligence and inaction toward the welfare of
our soldiers as well as the diversion of military fund for Mr.
President re-election campaign at the expense of the lives of
Nigerians.If the APC is not complicit in this heinous crime against our
nation, we challenge it to join the PDP in demanding for a National
Assembly inquest into the killing and the handling of anti-insurgency
funds under President Buhari, instead of this resort to wicked
hypocritical posturing.

Doctors thought a woman was pregnant with multiple babies but several
pregnancy tests came out negative, leaving her doctors confused.Keely
Favell’s big tummy made her go to the hospital for a test. When
pregnancy tests had shown she was not expecting, she thought she was
just piling on weight. But her bump kept growing bigger and made her
return to the hospital several times.After more pregnancy tests came
back negative her GP who was still convinced a baby was the only
explanation, referred her for an ultrasound scan. It was then that her
enormous bump was revealed to be an ovarian cyst weighing more than four
stone, the same weight as seven newborn babies. 
Keely,
28, had a five-hour operation to remove the growth, which she nicknamed
Mr Whippy.She said:I didn’t understand why until I came round and
everyone was treating me like a minor celebrity. They explained how big
this cyst was and showed me pictures – I couldn’t believe I’d been
walking around carrying this medical alien.It looked like a massive pile
of ice cream so I called it Mr Whippy!
