    Now there are plenty of stunning women in their late 30's early 40's who look after themselves in Ireland but a lot seem to let themselves go and eat an awful amount if junk,lack of exercise etc unlike other nations.
    If you compare this to Italian,French,Latino or Asian women who seem to keep their figures in check.
    Is this solely down to culture,diet or climate.
    I'm not having a go here just an observation having spent time in the above countries.

    Are you saying my dead ma is fat?

    'Cause foreign women are raised on a healthy diet, good living, red wine and sweaty love-making.

    Irish women are raised on repression, mass and Jaffa cakes.

    Without the stats on relative obesity levels in the places you have referenced, I will call bull**** on that statement. Also, Asia? Pretty big place to be comparing to Ireland or suggesting that there is some inherent cultural and dietary mindset spanning a large number of countries.

    There aren't that many obese people: you just notice them more because people of average weight don't stand out.

    There are probably fewer obese people in some other countries as they have healthier diets, but I don't think there's a huge difference.

    I don't know why you're focussing on middle-aged women though: there are plenty of overweight young people, and I'm sure you've seen the odd fat man about.

    Anyway, as long as you're not overweight yourself, I wouldn't give it much thought. Let people be how they want to be.

    Nah, sure even the stunning eastern european girls morph into shot-putters when they eat a slice of 40th birthday cake. There are an awful lot of verry good looking Irish women in their 40's, every nation has its share of 40+ munters, it's Gods way of making sure poor men in their 40's and 50's can still get laid by somthing. It's also why they invented drink, light switches and imaginations.

    The same could be said of Irish men. Why focus on one sex?

    Pot kettle tbh.

    I like the maturer women and always did, I think women in general age better then men. Of course there are exceptions.

    Its very hard to keep the weight off in middle age. If i so much as skip one day of exercise, and say, had a large dinner i can go up 3 pounds. Its a constant battle. Lucky i am disiplined and in fantastic shape:)

    Yet Irish women are STILL the most stuck up. It's incredible. Nowhere else on the earth has the Irish phenomenon of stuck-up fatties.

    Coincidently, Ireland also has an incredibly high proportion of bitter misogynists.

    It seems to anyway...

    Hmmm, you appear to be right OP. When I googled "fat Italian,French,Latino or Asian women" I got
    google wrote:
    Your search - fat Italian,French,Latino or Asian women - did not match any documents.

    Suggestions:

    Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
    Try different keywords.
    Try more general keywords.
    Try fewer keywords.

    Looks like even rule 34 doesn't apply :eek:

    To be fair, it's mostly just one guy who keeps re-regging. He's got a point though - how dare women not force themselves to fancy him?! Especially with that winning attitude. :D

    It seems to happen both sex's to be fair...

    I was at a family event yesterday, and there was only one fella without a beer belly, and two women of normal(healthy weight) size and the rest were overweight at least...

    Our drinking culture in this country is the cause, If you drink 7 pints once a week without any exercise, your in trouble...

    And most people I know will drink more than 7 pints a week and do little to no exercise week to week.

    Also junk food has an effect as well as the Irish Mammy's.

    It's not their fault in fairness: they're unwitting victims of a vast Zionist conspiracy to keep them from falling for his charms!
