So yeah, I do shop at Walmart as do many of my neighbors. Where do YOU shop for stuff like paper towels and laundry detergent in upscale Nebraska**???

I shop at Walmart because I do like to save money, and I don’t like Target anymore due to their transgender bathroom policy. Oh I also shop at Menards, Lowes and Home Depot for deals. But I also shop at specialty stores as well. Again, where do YOU shop??

Since you lobbed that snarky comment “You Must Shop At Walmart” ...I live in an upscale suburb of Chicago which has a Walmart...but it also has some of the top schools in the state, best library in country, excellent restaurants, #2 on Places Rated, top family town, etc...Oh and I see younger men with receding hairlines and paunch at these places as well as walking around our lovely downtown and in my neighborhood...To be able to afford to live here, I am guessing they are aspiring doctors and lawyers and upper management types.

No, you can’t speak for everyone, and I am glad you are in great shape and own a gym—but I suspect you, special one, are the exception to the average 57 year old...I am not much older, and I know no body builders aged 57 or otherwise—I see a lot of diversity in the way men in their 60s have aged BTW. However, if true and you look as you did in your 20s—as good as The Rock, then please feel free to continue with the slams on average sized women who have had children. However, the reality is that many men who are so critical of women after they have had children really should not throw stones but rather look in the mirror and focus on their own self improvement.

I like to provide facts...Note that the average dress size of model is now 0-2, height 5’10” and weight 115 lbs and according to Supermodel model Cindy Crawford, that model dress size has gone down over the past few decades...

However, the average woman in USA is size 14 or 18 depending on where you read...

Surprisingly, the average woman is only 5.4” yet weighs 166 lbs.

Again, I am not endorsing that height to weight ratio, and I know there is a lot of diversity within those numbers between race and age. I do think millennials are placing more emphasis on fitness than many 60 year olds did when they were in their 20s, a good thing. However,the models in magazines really are not representative of most US women...and many of the men in GQ aren’t representative of the average US male either.

Average male is 5’9.5” and weighs 195.5 lbs; however, the average male model is between 5’9” and 6’3” and weighs 120-170 lbs.

https://www.livestrong.com/article/289265-what-is-the-average-adult-male-height/

I suspect the move to include some “plus-sized” models is so they may more closely reflect the typical consumer.

I am not endorsing or advocating for obesity, and some of those models pictured are clearly obese by medical standards, i.e., not healthy. Health should be the goal...especially as we we age, when our biochemistry, body type, and life priorities factor into our appearance.

I note you didn’t take up the suggestion that all the men on the thread should post pictures of themselves, tho.

**Business must be good...Nebraska is ranked middle level obesity state with 30-34% obesity. So you have your work cut out for you...

You are missing the point by requesting FR men to publish a photo of themselves because they disagree with the notion that only females decide what constitutes female beauty.

And I don't know of a campaign were overweight men are being pushed on women, non stop through the media, followed up by chastising women who throw up a little in their mouths.

There is no male campaign forcing women to except a man's concept of male handsomeness.

On top of that, men will admit when they are overweight/fat and rather work on forcing women to accept it as been being the new normal, they hit the gym.
