Are you rich and thin?

    Everybody's goal in life is to be rich and thin. Being rich and thin is probably quite difficult though, because the rich have so much disposable income to spend on apple lattices and gingernut biscuits, so they end up pilling on the pounds. If you are poor you can't afford to eat delicious fatty foods, plus you are more likely to work in manual labour thus allowing you to combine exercise and work, so you are more likely to be strutting around absolutely sh1t shredded.

    I myself am completely destitute, but I am thin, so I am just a lottery win away from nirvana.

    I don't think i have ever wanted to be thin a day in my life.

    Thin blokes don't even look like real blokes tbh, just hairy weak women.

    Just be rich and buy the surgery, simples,

    Being rich might mean you have a home gym plus the free time to use it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    Nah, I'm fat and things.

    I imagine he means thin being the opposite of seriously over weight, as opposed to what it actually means.

    BTW I am neither fat, thin, rich nor poor.

    The options imply that people are either fat or thin, when it's quite possible to be neither. Same goes for rich and poor.

    Ah right, there i go making the usual mistake of thinking people are typing what they mean to say.

    It's my constant downfall.

    I'd hate to be thin. When I was on the yoke diet in my early 20s I looked like a walking corpse.

    WTF you on about, idiotic post.

    Nope. Well built would be a more accurate description. Not thin, not fat.

    You look like a thin hairy, weak woman i take it?

    Im rich and currently cut down to 105kg from 115
    But in a Dragan ( or whatever we're calling him now) way not a chubby way

    It is much easier to maintain a manly weight when you can afford decent food I had a half leg of lamb with a bag of leeks a bag of red onions and a bag if sweet potatoes for dinner when I was poor I could t do that.

    what are you? .... averagely wealthy and only very mildly rotund?

    was yours the porridge that was just right? you know not too hot not too cold etc

    Poor people are a lot more likely to be overweight than rich people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,201 ✭✭✭amacca


    Poor people are a lot more likely to be overweight than rich people.

    Indeed...the fatty fat fatties with their poor diets!

    what is it with the obsession with all things fat related in AH recently....have a significant number of people made some sort group resolution to reduce their waistlines to healthy proportions


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 324 ✭✭Wereghost


    Being a nerd, I live within my means so I have a healthy bank balance. ;) As for build, I'm about 6' 5 1/2 and weigh about 154lbs. Pretty much unable to put on weight, notably muscle weight. Dang Marfan's syndrome!

    Also, thin != healthy.

    "Well built" = FAT!

    the only reason most lads want to be thin is to pull birds, but money can pull birds better than a 6 pack ever could, so for most women it might be important to be thin, lads - once your rich it doesnt matter a fcuk

    With a bit of luck, a week of salads will break them, then they'll be back on the crisps & sugar drinks by next Monday and we can have a few less weight issue threads!

    Only if you have a seriously stilted understanding of the English language.

    Can't say as i would describe this lad as fat. I would personally call him well built.

    Correlating weight with wealth is a bit old fashioned really.. kind of like correlating how tanned you are with your status. For hundreds of years; being pale skinned was a sign that you were from the upper classes.. and now it's seen as a sign of ill-health.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭Phill Ewinn


    OP seriously I know no man who wants to be thin/skinny. Every honest man wants to have the body of a Hollywood action hero.

    Vomit just generally contains chunks that get stuck in your nasal passages!

    I an the Cream of Society: rich and thick! :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    The sooner the schools reopen the better.

    Stupid thread is most definitely stupid.
