What I want to know is where are you going that you see women that are so out of proportion?

>>Great. What I hate about my body the most is what will keep me in it longer. Some sort of poetry there.<<

May I suggest “ironic symmetry?” That’s how I feel. ;)

>>My thighs may not make me live longer, but a commentor may live SHORTER.<<

2 questions that men never want to be asked:

* “Does this make me look fat?”

* “Do you think that girl is pretty?”

Just hand us a loaded gun and let us blow our brains out — it is more humane.

Who does these studies? And who volunteers to be studied? I cannot imagine how anyone came up with the idea of studying women with fat thighs and butts vs fat stomachs. What in the world is the benefit to be gained from this information? Is this important to anyone??? LOL

[RJS1950]

Yes, those two questions are the worst and there is no answer that is ever right.

Hmmmmm, so Queen was right after all.

LOL!!! Click here...

I will quit bewailing my pear-shaped physique.

*snort* I was thinking the SAME thing! ;o)

Is this important to anyone???

I don't know. I have always been fond of the sound that corduroy pants make when rubbed together. ;-) Ducking for cover.

Maybe she works out.

I don’t know any exercises that make your behind stick out like this girl Cyborg - this really looked like implants. The girl wasn’t heavy - so it wasn’t excess fat, unless that is the one area she gains weight.

Seriously, I thought this thread would go into the hundreds. Shows ya what I know. Maybe I just hoped it would?

[RJS1950]

Most men accumulate fat around the waist, most women build it up in their backsides. One more possible reason why women outlive men.

Of course, I used to pose the theory that men get fat guts and women have fat asses because men wear belts; when the fat falls it stops at the belt for men but that most women don’t wear belts so it drops to the bottom (pun intended). You’d be suprised at how many people pause and seriously consider that silly idea before they realize I’m kidding.
