    Most of them appear to love steroids, LOVE steroids. If they stand up they break a sweat!!

    I've recently become slightly obsessed with my body, trying to look good and all that. I've taken up a lot of exercise, joined a gym and a football team. But it doesn't work. From what I can tell women don't give a **** what kind of body you have


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Um which meant ?

    In my school if you said "I'm going to lay pipe" .. meant you were going for a sh*te :D

    I remember when I first went out with a girl from the country (Kerry) and I heard the word 'shift' for the first time in context with getting off with someone, I had no idea what they were all on about. "Did you shift yer women?" sounds strange when you first hear it.

    Like 'Aussies' saying Root I suppose.

    As fast food chains grow ever more popular and expand globally, so do many unsuspecting waistlines. Fortunately, it is NOT restricted to the males of the species...

    Recently the NY Times published an article on why exercise doesn't necessarily lead to weight loss. Though if you want to tone up and/or get buff I'd think you would have to work some cardio and free weights in somewhere.

    I think women care, but I think they care about the state of men's bodies less than men care about the state of women's bodies.

    Nobody knows what women want, not even women themselves. Women I find tend will go for the chubbier guy over the skinnier guy. I would say this is because they unconsciously perceive it to be more masculine but I'm probably completely wrong.

    I think what women want (ok what this fickle woman wants, anyway) may be a response to what they have just had. The last guy I dated was kind of fussy about everything: he exercised regularly, was careful about what he ate, and basically spent his whole life never trying to rock the boat. The current guy I'm dating smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish, and doesn't give a **** about what other people think about him or his life choices. It is a blessed relief, and I don't miss the ex's six-pack one bit. :D

    Weight has never bothered me at all. I have fancied heavy lads and slim lads. I haven't even thought about it, It really doesn't matter.

    Height would be more important than weight imo(and many girls I know)....which is a bit of a shame as lads can't do much about what height they are.

    Looks like it wasn't just my school where saying "Laying Pipe" meant going for a sh*te. Can you imagine the confusing.

    "Oh yeah, lay some pipe in me".

    "Eh, okay wahtever turns you on .. are you sure now love though" :D
    laying pipe
    (v) To take or the act of taking a ****. Specifically a large, cylandrical, log-like dump.
    "I was laying some serious pipe on the ****ter.

    To each their own. As long as I find the entire package nice it's all good. Would have to say tho if they went past chunky and into the properly obese side of things I wouldn't be able to overlook it.

    I'm 6ft, 85kg, go to the gym but I'm no fitness freak nor am I buff. One of the nice things about going to the gym is tonight, if I want, I can go have a large dominoes pepperoni passion and not have to cry myself to sleep about not making the next weight watchers weigh in :D

    But I think in general girls are more forgiving than guys when it comes to weight. As for height...well, as a woman who is close to 6' in heels, I think I may be too tall for a lot of guys who aren't into Amazons.

    Yep they do. They may sometimes have difficulty explaining in some linear checklist way, but they know exactly what they want and what revs them up. I find "women dont know what they want/are unfathomable" is a cop out from men(and some women too). Hey you're in good company, Sigmund Freud said the same:D
    Women I find tend will go for the chubbier guy over the skinnier guy. I would say this is because they unconsciously perceive it to be more masculine but I'm probably completely wrong.
    I would agree. My take would be that the slightly chubbier guy may make them feel less self conscious of any body issues they may have. On average women have more of those than men as they know its a lot of how they're judged, by men and other women. It's a lot easier to be more at peace with ones wobbly bits if the man you snuggle up to has some wobbly bits of his own. Maybe?

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Women only care how much money a guy has
    Men look for looks in a woman but it is not everything either

    Money + Thin and buff = success in men

    Attractiveness in women = success

    Okay, maybe 'only' is stretching the truth but it certainly means much more to women, for a man to have money that it means to man that women have money.

    If you polled women I would say it would be in the top three requests for them that a guy would earn more money than them.

    I think if guys like a girl then money is far far less important than looks and personality.

    In my experiences this is the core requirement in alot of women both Irish & foreign. I couldn't really care about the money question but when it becomes just about the money then it becomes a different story.

    Give me John Wayne over David Beckham any day of the week.

    I like a man to be like a comfy armchair, rather than a priceless chair that looks nice but you wouldn't care to sit on it for long.

    That's cause women are better than men. They have an ability to see a man in a nightclub or a supermarket and look past a beer belly or fat ot that few extra stone and see the real person underneath.

    You'll see women each and every day approaching guys telling them that they can see that they have a lovely personality and would love to date them, as tall dark handsome fit guys just walk passed all depressed, getting snubbed.

    I feel sorry for those really toned guys that are bast*rds that get pushed aside for the chubby nice guys with the great sense of humour. I feel for them, I really do. Women are just amazing, while men are just pigs.

    I guess what we were taught as kids is soooo true:

    What are little boys made of?
    Snips and snails
    And puppy-dog tails,
    That's what little boys are made of.

    What are little girls made of?
    Sugar and spice and all things nice,
    That's what little girls are made of

    Salon.com has apparently crowned David Beckham King of the Metrosexuals:

    "Becks is the poster boy of what I have termed elsewhere metrosexuality. His hero/role-model status combined with his out-of-the-closet narcissism and love of shopping and fashion and apparent indifference to being thought of as "******y" means that for corporations he is a pricelessly potent vector for persuading millions, if not billions, of young men around the world to express themselves "fearlessly," to be "individuals" -- by wearing exactly what he wears. Beckham is the über-metrosexual, not just because he rams metrosexuality down the throats of those men churlish enough to remain retrosexual and refuse to pluck their eyebrows, but also because he is a sportsman, a man of substance -- a "real" man -- who wishes to disappear into surfaceness in order to become ubiquitous -- to become media. Becks is The One, and better looking than Keanu -- but, be warned, he's working for the Matrix."
