Hmmmmm

This is giving me ideas.

This is why working out can actually be counterproductive. Women don't want relationships with self centered men.

Being true to yourself is much more fulfilling than being suave.

I can't be true to myself because I hate myself and everything I stand for!

♫
I am the very model of a modern mediocrity
I've failed English, art and design, algebra and geometry
I am not well acquainted now, with matters mathematical
I cannot do equations, both the simple and quadratical
I'm not very good at integral or differential calculus
I don't know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In matters of art and design and English and geometry
I am the very model of a modern mediocrity

Instead of being myself I'll try to be someone more admirable
I'll try to gain the things I lack both solid and intangible
If I can learn a thing or two and reduce my adiposity
I'll no longer be the model of a modern mediocrity
♫

Yes, a lot of women are looking to make a "connection," someone they can relate to on a very personal level. Guys who can do this are often very successful at dating, even though they aren't wealthy, tall, or good looking.

Bingo! - personality, and being really good at romance/charming is right behind this in priority. I met a fellow who is 20 years older than me and he was still amazingly charming. Add age to the list of things that may not matter. A man who makes a woman feel beautiful and wanted without having to be blunt about it has a true talent. It takes finesse and not everyone has that gift.

Yea these 2 are great points!

I agree. Harlequin novels is a better way to find an ideal man. For example, is there any Harlequin novels about short overweight men with low paying jobs? Maybe there are. I don't know.

If the majority of women aren't attracted to short, overweight men with low paying jobs, I wouldn't blame them. If I was a woman I wouldn't be attracted to short, overweight men with low paying jobs either.

It's perfectly ok for women to not be attracted to penniless short fat men and it's perfectly ok for men to not be attracted to penniless short fat women.

So it's understandable that women (overweight or skinny/well educated or not) are looking for a physically attractive man with a good job?

I don't give two s**ts about those things.

So you weigh 172, but a woman who weighs 175 is way too fat for you? Maybe you should make sure you yourself have a perfect body type before you decide women are un-datable if they weight even two more pounds than you.

You hit it right on the head, here. I think a lot of aspie men suffer from "Internet Male Syndrome"; that is, unrealistic standards molded by years of porn consumption. As if a beautiful woman is a priceless work of art to be scrutinized, rather than a human being with thoughts and feelings.

Stop the stupid theories on us, seriously - I am reporting this and putting stop to this misandry here.
A non-overweight woman =/= a pornstar.

So either one extreme or the other?
So if a man doesn't find obesity attractive then he must be after women who look like pornstars only - logic. :roll:

You make up plenty of theories yourself people could call stupid as well as tell people they are lying about their personal experiences or feelings related to those experiences. I doubt the mods are going to do anything about you reporting someone for thinking a lot of guys with aspergers might have unrealistic standards.

The issue at hand how is a woman who weights 175 severely morbidly obese compared to a guy who weighs 172 pounds? no one has explained this yet.

Also I don't see where anyone suggested if a guy doesn't find obesity attractive he only goes after women who look like porn stars...you're really good at exaggerating and misrepresenting what people actually say.

Oh....the Knight of Venus is striking again.

So a healthy weight is now an unrealistic standard?

The OP actually said:

Quote:

they are always very overweight women, i.e. 175lbs+, 200lbs, 250lbs

So he was talking about weights more than 175lb, and he didn't call them morbidly obese either.

The 172/175 numbers depend pretty much on the person's height tho; if I was 172 myself then yeah I would be considered very fat.

From what I've read, it could well be unrealistic if you are unlucky enough to live in certain parts of the UK. Apparently the deadly combination of fast food and sedentary jobs has resulted in most of the population gaining weight.

Healthy food is available in the UK. They have greengrocers there and if you don't have time to cook they have Subway there. Also the UK has Jamie Oliver.

I am not convinced that eating healthy is a such extremely difficult diet to follow.

Come on, I don't think vegetables, seeds and fruit went extinct in your parts of the world, you have everything at your disposal, none of you live in famine areas where available nutrients are imbalanced.

These are all just lame excuses, the only understandable reasons of being overweight are health reasons, such some genetic diseases or some drugs or old age causing the weight gain - otherwise I don't buy it.

Not bad, Retro.

I would edit it some for meter, though.

I sense too many syllables per line sometimes.

Thanks Kraftie.

I tried to keep to 16 syllables per line but the negatation caused syllables to blend into each other.

That started of as a serious (non-musical) post about wanting to be like other people but I got carried away with self-indulgence (and too much shiraz).

My apologies to Arthur Sullivan

Lame excuses is correct.

Apparently there are certain populated parts of the UK that don't have any greengrocers. Yeah right! :roll:

There might be certain parts of Africa that don't have access to fruit and veg but the UK is a first world country!

I keep hearing people say that junkfood/fast food is cheaper than eating healthy. Bullsh*t! For the cost of a large meal at McDonald's I can buy 2 kilograms of apples from the supermarket. Also that's the cost of 5 chocolate bars. Which is better value, $10 worth of chocolate bars (enough for 5 snacks) or $10 worth of apples (enough for 20 snacks).

How can they say fruit is too expensive when an apple is a quarter of the price of a chocolate bar? (and much more satiating).

People who say fruit and veg are too expensive have probably never looked at the cost of fruit and veg.

It's always far cheaper to go to the supermarket and cook your own food--than it is to go out and eat even McDonald's.

That's what I try to tell people!

They say they have to eat at McDonald's because they can't afford anything else.

But the supermarket is cheaper than McDonald's!

Yes Boo. A healthy weight is now an unrealistic standard.

See link below
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jun/13/sadiq-khan-moves-to-ban-body-shaming-ads-from-london-transport

Apperantly the woman in the ad above set an "unrealistic body image".

She does not look underweight to me :roll:

I wonder if Mayor Sadiq Khan was bribed by McDonald's to get those ads taken down :lol:

Could it be that not enough guys are helping out with the shopping, cooking, and cleaning?
