I find it interesting that overweight men do not share the unhappy plight of overweight women. I'd like to have a nickel for every time I've observed an obese, unkempt man make derogatory remarks about a "fat woman" or ogle at a perfect "10" kind of gal with no reservations about his own imperfections. There is a double standard. Maybe that's where the unhappiness originates.

Actually, fat women love Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, et al. (don't ask me how I know). Probably moreso. The more obsessed fans are usually the least, how shall we say .... "Elle Magazine Material". And they look just as much as men.

This really isn't a gender issue.

Fat slobs like to look too, just like poor people like to look at Fararri's.
