My advice to you: please don’t get married or procreate until you change this attitude.Your comment tells me that a guy won’t give them the time of day (when they are dating age) if they don’t look like supermodels or work out every day. I am simply saying that divorcing someone simply for gaining weight says a hell of a lot more about you than it does for the person you would divorce.

I have dated "chunky"(not obese fat) women in the past (I'm age 27).. nothing against them but I work out 7 days per week and eat junk food maybe 4-5 times per year..I have found these women end up sabotaging my fitness efforts...they feel guilty to a degree about their weight so they try to get me to change my fitness habits to match theirs.

When I was referring to divorcing a fat spouse I don't mean a person who gained 15-25-30 lbs but someone who turns morbidly obese. That is near criminal in my book that someone would do that to a spouse they profess to love. A woman I know has a husband who went from 190 to 330 lbs...guy can't even perform in the bedroom and she is always upset because his obesity has affected their intimacy and affection which is important to her let alone her physical attraction to him. Their activies-going for walks togetehr, being active-going to events and festivels is near zil to his weight. His testosterone is near zero due to his weight and he has no "drive" to her let alone she is constantly worried he is going to keel over at any time.

This(eating gluttonly) is no different than a spouse who turns to gambling/drinking or other vices.

As for the "supermodels" quote..I like the fun, outgoing "typical girl next door" look.

But. But. But. Men are more “visual” than women!

Of course, they’re more flatulent than women, too...so ripping one in polite company shouldn’t attract criticism, either!

"For the record, I weigh 110 pounds and am about 5 foot 4 inches tall—and although I turn 40 in about 4 more months, I get carded for buying alcohol and mistaken for my husband’s teenage daughter."

Congratulations, ma'am.

I wouldn't be nearly so extreme as the guy you are responding to, but...If somebody is say 25, and already fat as a house, that makes me wonder a lot about their self-control, their self-respect, their diet...Thats not to say there aren't nice fat people, but I'd potentially be leery of becoming an item with a fat person. Not #1 on the list, but certainly a consideration. Of course, "marriage syndrome" generally cures men of their high standards, or so I've been told.

I honestly wonder WHAT people are eating, and in what quantity, in order to achieve the size they do. Because I eat rather a lot, sit entirely to much and exercise entirely to little, and never gain weight. It makes me wonder how much other people must be eating. Maybe I have a fast metabolism.

As an aside, it seems, culturally speaking, that men can carry off being fat/ugly better than women.

There is probably a news director at that station reminding his or her anchor that ripping your station viewership is generally not considered a good idea.

The station solicits feedback in the area of community responsibility. It then proceeds to attack a viewer for offering feedback.

It may have been the right thing to do personally, but it’s bad for business. Which is the reason a TV station exists.

Thats debatable. But it doesn't matter; women must behave in a ladylike manner. Us guys can always play the 'homo indomitus' card. Unless you ladies now prefer skinny-jean clad, spineless, metrosexual sissy-men.

And honestly, when it comes to being shallow - it seems to me to be infinitely worse to disqualify her as a date for allegedly being a few pounds overweight then to say “I’m not watching her read the news because of her weight.” I mean, news readers are basically just hairdo’s, and I would hope people expect dates to be a (no pun intended) more well-rounded actual person.

In contrast, I actually got emails back from Juliet Huddy and Megyn Kelly of Fox News. I was so happy I nearly framed them.

For what?

would be serious grounds for divorce in my book.

That's what the whole "for better or for worse" thing is about. If you can't make that kind of commitment, don't get married.

I apparently saw him naked 3 times.

;) sorry for the repeat posts. Please don’t allow repeat posts by programming. The problem is it looks like one didn’t hit the right button on the tiny phone, so one hits it again.

BS!

Sick fools need to be publicly rebuked.
