Would you consider doing some yoga with me if I ever happen to be conveniently available and in your state? I am also into full body massage and willing to practice my happy camper policy; if you don't me calling you my honey bunches of O's for awhile.

No kidding. I'm waiting for the OP to start a thread that says women are getting taller or making too much money. And don't forget the monthly "men should give up on American women" thread. They all have one thing in common, which is griping about the women that are out there instead of simply accepting it.

This reminds me of the movie WALL-E where all humans become morbidly obese after living on the automated spaceship.

What if we are "taught" to simply blame women? They seem to be able to get away with much more than us guys, ceteris paribus. It could take awhile to realize and understand that (US) women also have a Ninth Amendment.

I went back and read the OP just to make sure I didn't miss anything. I didn't find anything about decreasing male satisfaction (it just assumes no men will date fatties), but I did re-read the hilarious worry that the few non fat women of the future will increase their flakiness...lololol. Thanks for giving me a reason to review, gwyn. This thread makes me miss the good old days when TV&SportsGuy was starting 10 inane threads a day.

OK, I still don't get it. If the premise is that men like looks more, and looks are in decline, why would this fall upon both sexes equally?

I would assume the opposite with rampant unemployment, for example.

Taught by whom? Some people don't need to be taught to blame an entire of group of people for their mistakes. It just comes naturally for them. That's easier than saying it's no one's fault or saying that it's actually their fault. As for women getting away with more than guys, people in general get away with whatever you let them.

I claim that it is taught as a form of Nurture in any political-economy.

Why would it not be as natural to assume greater personal responsibility instead of blaming a perceived, weaker person?

This whole past made me laugh!! It's hilarious. Because the OP should say THIS instead:

"For every 1 attractive female there seems to be 50 average or unattractive guys trying to get her.

But of course, it never fails. Some men will continuously seek very attractive women even when they are average.

Staying fit/healthy should apply to men AND women. It's a great big ridiculius doble standard for men who are not exactly GQ material to stand around, drink beer and wait for all the chubby gals to fet fit so they have more to choose from.
