I agree. We're better than that. While I might not agree w/ everything DaDa says, it takes some balls to post a video and open up yourself. I think we're a better place to welcome that rather than chase everyone away from contributing in different ways.
Lighten up francis, you must have missed the j/k part of that post. If you don't know what j/k means, it stands for JUST KIDDING. I knew where IM2K was going with that post, I knew it was tongue in cheek, and that "post" you speak of if you turned off your sarcasm meter, was also tongue in cheek. Go ahead and get on your soapbox again and preach on "Oh no, you shouldn't have posted it in the first place, just like IM2K, there's no place for it here, harumph, harumph, harumph!.....I didn't get a harumph out of that member over there!!!" Like I said before, go find someone else to vent on and make an example of...I'm not playing your game...
No more than 32 as the previous poster mentioned. I'm 6 ft tall and fluctuate between 170-175 lbs. 33 x 32 is ideal for me but i can fit into a 32. A little too tight for my taste tho.
I think its just a cultural thing. If you've ever eaten overseas the portions of food are much smaller. The culture over there isn't even about being skinny. Its just natural over there to eat less. Food businesses would likely go out of businesses if smaller portions were given at restaurants as is the same for so much unhealthy food. It costs extra to eat healthy over here, but you can get a value menu of food that'll take over half or more of your daily caloric intake. The whole eating disorder thing is a sham imo. Outside of having a legitimate physical disorder like hypothyroidism, there is no excuse to be fat. I won't say its out of sheer laziness that people are overweight. Some people are overworked. Some don't have the time to cook healthy meals. Some are just caught in an unhealthy lifestyle because they've adjusted to it for so long. I just think its utter BS to hear so many fatties say they were born with a slow metabolism or come up with any excuse for why they can't drop the weight. Fact is if you want something really bad, you'll go out and get it. Doesn't necessarily relate to weight loss, but anything. I got as high as 250 lbs once in my life then dropped down to 155 then shot up to 230, and have lost 60 lbs over the past 2 and a half years. I used the excuse that it was my medication I'm going to have to take for the rest of my life and also that it was hereditary that caused me to get fat. Then I realized its a BS excuse and have actually taken care of my body like I did the first time before the weight gain. If you're fat, you're fat. No big deal to me. It doesn't effect me personally. I'm not disgusted by it if I see a fatty on the streets. I sympathize even but be honest with yourself and stop coming up with excuses. On the opposite spectrum of anorexia or bulimia it is a sad trend lately. That relates to how accessible it is get high fat food for cheap that is almost everywhere. If America adopted a lifestyle where smaller portions and less junk food was so available to buy, then you might find less extremes from both sides. More skinny people because its easier to find healthy food and adopt a healthy lifestyle instead looking at things so black and white. I really sympathize with fat people. Eating junk food is as addicting if not more than smoking. There are chemicals in junk food that make you want to come back for more. It's a craving thats more than just being hungry. It's an addiction. Just stop defending it and come to terms with it that either you want to be healthy enough to lose weight or that you'll stay a fatty. Don't BS it is all. Also this isn't directly aimed at you judoka, but just a rant I guess.
In my experience, overweight women, by far, are the the best, most adventurous lovers I have ever had. And it is not even close. If I ever lose my s/o (who is overweight), I will go over another overweight woman. Guys who shun big girls don't know what they are missing. They will rock your world.
This thread is full of big boned people with great personalities -- KingCheetah supports you 110%. Godspeed Chubby Chupa.
Depending on body frame, a man 6'5" for "ideal weight" should be between 200 and 235. A few years back, my doctor told me that for my body type, my ideal weight would be about 235. I need to lose 25 pounds to get there. That would drop me down to a 36 inch waist. When I got fitted for a suit last week, the tailor told me that I measured a 50 through the chest. A 36 inch waist would give me an athletic drop. My point here is that everything is proportionate. You cannot judge what somebody's weight should be without seeing how they are otherwise put together.
Already been mentioned and responded to, still. Man working his tail off his entire life to exhaustion (based on expectation) to be the bread winner, dying years earlier than he should. Women seeks entitlement to nag him out of his earnings the whole time. Man wants SOME return on investment from all that. Money=Looks. Or Money=something back, like cooking good or whatever. "Old fashioned" fairness standard but can still apply. Though ironically I somewhat agree with the balancing out theory. Hotty for Hotty/Ugly for Ugly/Fatty for Fatty/. No one jumps rank no line crossing - everyones get their appropriate mate back and its a fairer world to live in.
Wow this thread got ugly. I'll refrain from commentary to avoid further offending anyone, but I do feel the need to comment on the suggestion of getting one's s/o to work out in the future to shed the weight. That is a terrible suggestion. If a person already doesn't work out for themself, it's highly unlikely that they will do it for you once in the relationship, atleast not for any prolonged sustainable period. to think otherwise is willful naivete. am i saying that everyone should work out or be in great shape? no. am i saying that one shouldn't date fat people? no. if a person is overweight and you get along with them, that's great, be happy with them. i'm simply saying that if the fact that they are overweight bothers you enough to want to not get in the relationship in the first place, you are just setting yourself up for a world of disappointment in thinking they will change for you. so just accept them for who they are or move on. either date only fit people or don't be shallow altogether, but you can't have both. very rarely do people change for someone else beyond just a fleeting inspired month of fad dieting.
Inspired by this thread I attempted a personal experiment in trying to hook up with a fat chick tonight. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Would rather go home alone and masturbate.
OMFG, I re-read Imadrummaz2K (or whatever his name is) post again and I must say -- I am even more offended than I was the first time I read it ! GOOD LORD WHEN WILL IT END
