Isn’t it biological, with men taking more risks and dying younger than women the world over?

Around the time I got pregnant with our second child, my husband started packing on the weight. He went from 200 lbs. at 5’11 to almost 280 lbs. We both had to lean over our bellies to kiss. A few years later, someone took a picture of us. I was back down to 122 lbs. That really bothered him.

I never pestered him about his weight. He had enough to worry about without me nagging him. When he would ask about it, I would kiss him, tell him he was still sexy, and as long as he was comfortable with his weight that was all that mattered.

His knees started to give him trouble and he was determined to lose the weight. Took about two years, but he is currently 215 and looks amazing. Yousa, smoking hot!

I think some men are unhealthy because the majority of young women nowadays are nasty, nagging, and useless. They are not loving, supportive, or taking care of business on the regular. Men thrive around loving, supportive wives who keep an eye on their man’s health, give him regular stress relief (lots of short and long-term health benefits for men who get lovin’ at least twice a week), and who cook balanced, healthy meals for them.

Instead, young guys are stuck behind computers or gaming systems, not getting regular affection, no exercise, rudderless. Those that go to the gym have to worry about hysterical tik-tockers lobbing bogus claims against them.

Not putting all the blame on women, but when millions gets poured into fighting breast cancer and a fraction goes to fighting prostate cancer, it just shouts that society doesn’t care about men’s health.

If I lived in the UK I’d be dead by now... probably suicide!!

You can always transition since women live longer.

One example is that women don’t do wild boar hunting with knives only, which is a male sport, whether it is an inner city male or a country male, men like to test death, males love that near death experience.

Are we talking about the UK? It’s an Orwellian totalitarian state.

Being dead is better than living in the UK.

Predisposition to type II diabetes and insulin resistance is rampant.

Eat like a diabetic. Cut out simple carbs.
. Restrict complex carbs to vegetables. No potatoes, rice, bread... artificial and sugar sweeteners.mm

The weight will fall off and the threat is greatly diminished.

It’s a bit of sacrifice but it feels good being back in control.

Men know what to do to get healthy. Unfortunately women elect governments that won’t all it.

Because we can be. A life lead without any dumb #$%^ is no fun.

This month the government in England will launch a consultation for its men's health strategy.

Mind your own business and use your power to reestablish free speech in the UK.

I don’t think that anyone really has any idea why men don’t live as long as women. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acst2EmtZhI
