Da fuq? X 10000000. Who are these gobshítes. Seriously. Did any of them ever get their ears clipped(or worse) when building what passes for their adult personalities? Clearly not.This young gentleman helpfully informed me as he walked by me that I looked saggy of tit.
I doubt it, unless he read it wrong. Then again he sounds like someone who would be silently mouthing the words while reading a headline in the Sun. "Negging" broken down is basically a System(tm) for socially autistic "men" to understand basic banter and conversation.Venus In Furs wrote: »I wonder was he doing that PUA "negging" bullsh-t.
They are that. Like your PUA(and them) are fond of the phrase "no homo". Which I think is hiiifeckinglarious. Hell man(or is that Brah), if you're that unsure/sensitive about your sexual leanings, just knob a bloke and be done with it, so at least you can work out if it's for you, or not. That said those sites are very US culturally based and biased. A culture that sends a helluva lot of mixed messages at young blokes, so I can understand their confusion TBH.That's a really cool story ("brah" :pac: - they're ****ing obsessed with that stupid word on that forum!)
+1. A very cool story and warms the oul cockles(no homo) to see the level of actual, time and money on the table support they gave and continue to give the chap. Kudos.And yes, that forum has some utterly vile posters, so it is heartening to see another side to it.
More likely E, IMH anyway, is that you were slightly less active and were eating slightly more in your late 20's. I really don't buy the metabolism explanation. As I pointed out earlier, fatter people have a faster/higher metabolic rate. As a thin guy I feel the cold like a bastard. If I was heavier(or very muscly) I wouldn't to nearly the same degree. Why? My metabolic rate is lower, I generate less internal heat for my body. Look at local population adaptations to climate. In very hot climates humans are long of bone and thin of fat, lower internal heat and more surface area to wick of external heat. In very cold climates, people get shorter and stockier and carry extra weight(in fat and/or muscle). Compare a Maasai to an Inuit.No, I've always been skinny and could never put on weight no matter how much I ate (until late 20s)
Some suggested weight lifting and high protein diet but I never bothered with that. As a teenager, I became very depressed about being skinny due to opinions of others and expressed my concerns to GP who argued it was just the result of a fast metabolism and that I'd fill out in late 20s (which is true)
Not really E, you did what you had to do and what worked for you at the time and you realised the folly of it down the line. Fcuk all pathetic about that.I isolated myself, which in hindsight is pretty pathetic.
Oh sure. Body frame for a start. Now no doubt if I hit the gym and got roided up and all that I could get bigger in muscle, but there would be a limit and no mistake. With major effort and obsession I might approach the Bruce Lee build, but no way in hell would I ever get near a big guy, my frame, nor my muscle fibre makeup is just not built for it. My 6.3 inch wrists on a bodybuilders body would look like a bad photoshop job.I'm not suggesting all overweight or underweight people cannot achieve a normal body weight but I know from personal experience, it just isn't always possible in the manner some have suggested. There are many factors that prevent this being possible and society tends to forget that. There are other considerations.
I'm sure there are. I have noted that such women are nearly always heavy themselves and the guy being heavier in some ways makes them feel less self conscious. One might argue that in evolutionary terms fat men are much less viable than fat women. In environments which have lean and good times, but more lean, a fatter woman(within reason of course) will be fertile and will survive a pregnancy better and have enough to spare to wean a child than a skinny woman. Back in the day she could still gather food and all that. A fat man is a liability. He's less mobile, so a worse hunter, would need more calories and is likely to be less fertile than a fit/normal/thin bloke. While culture overlays a helluva lot onto our basic animalistic nature, I reckon that's why there would be less love for the fat man. Plus it is a sellers market for women to a great degree. Men do the pursuing, on the surface anyway, so men are slightly on the back foot, so are more likely to have more open preferences. Put it another way, of the size 18/20/and more women I've known pretty much none were short of male attention over their lives, the equivalent kinda size in men I've known? Female attention was minimal to zero.Anyway, I'm not looking for validation on whether it's acceptable to find overweight people attractive although I do wonder if there exists women who find overweight men attractive the way some men find women.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.

What seriously? People in Northern Europe ie. Cold are the tallest in the world while people in tropical places like India are some of the shortest

I'm talking about genetics.
The fact is, some people are fat or thin based purely on their DNA.
I myself was skinny for many years but this is unacceptable to society.
Just as being fat is unacceptable to society.
However, if you're a man and like to dress like a woman, that's perfectly normal. Isn't it?
Is this 600lbs guy someone who you would consider to be someone who's fat because of genetics?
