Author Topic: is it wrong to be into fat chicks while also being a fit male? (Read 3624 times)

Obesity was attractive in the same way $25,000 Cartier glasses are attractive today; of those who can afford frames that expensive, few are going to spend their money on them. It takes a certain kind of rich person to look that absurdly rich, and generally speaking it's seen as obnoxious to idolize a standard like that.

And frankly I think it's stupid to believe there are families that lasted long enough to shape the genetics behind metabolism and also made it to the modern age by the skin of their teeth, only to foster children the size of buses. More of us eat like crap than ever before, and we have our modern standard of living to thank for it. It is so stupidly easy to be out of shape let alone overweight. Any food we want is a car ride away at most. Our lifespans are the longest they've ever been, sometimes spanning longer than a century, and we waste half of them being relatively sedentary.

I'm willing to listen to the excuse of stuffty upbringings and mental illnesses leading to out-of-control obesity, but it is completely implausible that anyone in this world is fat just because great-grandpappy had a slow metabolism.

actually metabolic speed is a genetically influenced trait

although the muh nobles were fat argument isn't why. it's just simply random genetic variance

and with that being said exercise should still get the fat to burn to some degree

obesity is almost always due to diet. the caloric impact of rigorous daily exercise is basically the same as two slices of papa john's pizza. hypothyroidism and other metabolic disorders might make it easier to accidentally eat a caloric surplus, but it doesn't make it impossible to eat less.

I know. I didn't mean to imply calories-in/calories-out didn't differ from person to person genetically, just that it felt extreme to cite that fact as being significant enough to be a likely reason behind someone's weight struggles. I would concede to the idea of someone's weight gain being legitimately overkill because of an underlying issue, but putting the blame on the path of one's ancestry is a stretch.

this

you don't become obese just by magic metabolism, your diet and the amount of exercise is a huge factor
