Obese Dykes

[GamerBear]

No what I am saying is that your right to many gay men no six pack and your fat and undesirable.. however that is not all. Bear and chub chasers exist for a reason.

I understand, I am actually happy with my body but my boyfriend isn't so been trying to help him be healthy. Most gay men would think I'm unhealthy and will die sooner or later due to being overweight or obese in their minds.

Never really cared about age since it's no secret now that my boyfriend is older than me. I know everyone has their own personal preference of what kind of men they find attractive or sexy, but it just pisses me off that it's totally acceptable and ok to make fun of Lesbians who are chubby or obese or gay men who are chubby or obese.

Yeah these people can change their body type any time they want with exercise. But it's really fucked up when you see these guys posting pictures and then having their hopes crushed due to someone who is the complete opposite telling them how disgusting their pictures look. Makes me feel that gay men are not as diverse and accepting as they say they are. If you don't like the way they look than move on and don't say anything.

I guess if somebody posted a thread about skinny fags it would get deleted in no time.

 

[JayHawk]

No if someone posted a article of study that showed where skinny fags are 98% more likely to be size queens or something... hell I dunno... this article was basically saying that this is observed behavior and is unhealthy.

What is the other solution? Treat it like the so called Christians treated HIV and ignore it and hopefully it goes away?

I think we should encourage members of our community to be healthier. But then again I think we should have restrictions on what fast food companies can call food. Because I sincerely believe it is killing us quicker and reducing quality of life for many.

But that is my opinion.

I dont hate a guy who isnt sexually attractive to me and I dont called them names. But I wont date them either.

I am looking ultimately for another partner for a LTR. That partner should have the same lifestyle values as me or we wont work out. (no pun intended)

I can see the argument about a group of straight guys saying faggot in a hurtful way against one or to ostracize one person...however I don't personnel feel that someone in community saying they are a faggot is offensive...

Shrug

@MoltenRock:

Anyway, I'd come up with about a half-a-theory that might explain the correlation.

Now we know from the research of Simon LeVey that homosexual men have smaller-than-average cells in a certain area of the hypothalmus gland; lesbians, he concluded, probably have larger-than-average cells in the same area of the hypothalmus.

We also know that the hypothalmus gland is responsible for appetite.

Is it possible that, if a pathology of the hypothalmus gland is responsible for lesbianism, a similar pathology might also be possible for their obesity? For this theory to work, obesity in the case of lesbianism would be due to endogenic factors, rather than external factors such as the food chain problem that JayHawk and I referred to.

If this is true, then lesbianism and obesity might be comorbid.

You srs, Johan?

While I don't disagree with your assessment that differences in the hypothalAmus exist, jumping polar opposite from a tested group to an untested group is shoddy.

Now is the size of hypothalamus cells an expression of being gay or a cause?

But what really has me on edge about your post today is a few of your key word choices. I refuse to believe that such an intelligent man as yourself has a vocabulary limitation that would have him use the word "pathology" to describe function of a healthy working organ. Different maybe, but healthy all the same.

The danger of using poor word choices is that you change the complexion of the conversation. Right now you've paralleled lesbianism to obesity and have categorized both as a disease.

If this is true, then lesbianism and obesity might be comorbid.

So lesbianism is morbid now huh? How many people do you know of that have died from eating some snatch?

 

[MoltenRock III]

How many people do you know of that have died from eating some snatch?

Well.... you do have to be one sick fucker to eat raw snatch 'ya know.

 

[fetaby]

Well.... you do have to be one sick fucker to eat raw snatch 'ya know.

Not speaking from experience but I was told it tastes like warm slightly salty honey.

 

[fetaby]

Point 1: Simon Levey believed that the size of the hypothalmus was inherited. There's no reason to doubt his conclusions.

Point 2: I was worried about that, Fetaby. It probably was a poor choice of words.
"Aberration" probably would have been a better choice. I used the word "pathology" to describe what is essentially a medical situation, at least in the case of the obesity.

I apologize to those whom I've offended.

BTW what would have been your choice of words?

Anyway, I do believe there's a correlation, from an endogenic standpoint.

Uh huh...

There is reason to doubt. From the way you have your post worded, the actual size of the hypothalamus cells belonging to lesbians is unknown in relation to those that have been studied. To infer that data isn't a conclusion it's a hypothesis. Until studied it remains a hypothesis, until it can be proven conclusively... But that is science no? Science doesn't take anything on faith, science is doubt.

And aberration sucks as well. Try differentiation.

 

[willsboy84]

I don't know any lesbians nor any bisexuals.

I just have to prioritise my time.

I don't know any either
Or I guess I should say, I don't know any out and open lesbians. And actually for that matter, I can count on one hand the number of gay/bi guys that i actually know...like outside of the bedroom, who are out. I really hate small-town life sometimes...

There's a skit (it's probably on Youtube) in which that fat gay "Little England" guy (Humpty Dumpty in the Tim Burton "Alice") asks Rosie O'Donnell if she's fat because she's a lesbian or a lesbian because she's fat.

A few years back I read a piece in the Atlantic by Sandra Tsing Loh in which she described lesbian friends--both pushing 200 lbs--who'd much rather pig out on Doritos than have sex, and went on to quote from a book titled (I believe) "I'd Rather Eat Chocolate" that women gain more pleasure from carbs than coitus, and that a helluva lot of women are only having sex because their male partners want it. So WHEN LESBIANS MATE THEY EAT. Of course. I once knew a guy (a straight marine--very hot) who related that after his former wife left him, she took up with another woman and that in no time they both went from babylicious to morbidly obese.

I sometimes think that often the fat ones aren't innately gay, but enter into a gay relationship because they can't find a man.

I know I've been generalizing.

I know I'm now exaggerating, but with reason: fat people are going to bankrupt this country with diabetes care and kidney dialysis and hip and knee replacements and so on. WOULDN'T IT JUST BE SIMPLER TO LOOSE WEIGHT? Perhaps we can solve both the obesity and budget crises by requiring huge added fees for Medicaid and Medicare and private health insurance for fat people. Makes sense to me.

Bottom line: I don't want to pay for some fat person's destructive diet.

I don't like to stereotype, but the dominant dyke in couples is usually bigger, and I think because their the macho side of the relationship.

 

[willsboy84]

What we don't need, is for you to engage in name calling of another member. Agree or not, he gets to speak his mind same as you do.

His thread isn't the problem. Your response to it is.

Um....lol, never mind. As you were.

This is exactly what my partner meant when he said quite matter-of-fact like; "it's lesbian bed death".

Yes, absolutely it would. There is no "big conspiracy" to fatten Americans up, as are the basis of so many ridiculous diet books, but rather a country who has subsidized the most unhealthy lifestyle ever imagined. Suburban sprawl, and the resulting lifestyle it has created are literally killing people a little each day.

This recent study in Charlotte, NC on a group of people who shifted from driving everywhere to light rail shows the health benefits and the weight loss of the group:

The more time one spends in a car, the fatter one gets.

Well this ought to be good.

 

[ShavedBare87]

I think it's aliens. Think about it. They want to wage a war on the human race, but don't have the resources it would take for a full scale war. So they use mind control devices to make us unhealthy and fat. Eventually the human race will devolve into a giant jiggling mass of lard, and when the aliens finally come in to exterminate us, it will be like shooting fish a barrel.

Hell they probably won't even have to shoot. Once they show up, half the human race will die of cardiac arrest and the other half will choke on their triple bacon cheese burgers.

I'm a fucking genius!! *puts on tin foil hat*

This is possible in part because they're pumped so full of chemicals. If you don't believe it, look at the pics! A picture is worth a 1000 words. Just look at the color.

Whole chicken in America, 1968:

Whole chicken in America, 2011:

Now just tell me that this isn't affecting our health!

You do realize that reason the chickens used to be "yellow" was because of lutein being added to chicken feed because consumers at that time felt that yellow skinned broilers were highly desirable. So in reality, on this subject, you've actually gotten it backwards. However, lutein is used today in chicken feed for egg laying hens, to give egg yolks the deep yellowish-orange hue that consumers prefer.

Excerpt: "According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about two-thirds of American adults at any given time are on a diet to either lose weight or prevent weight gain. Approximately 44 percent are women and 29 percent are men. Despite their best efforts, only 5 percent of people who attempt to lose weight through dieting will successfully keep the weight off once they lose it."

Youth often brings arrogance.

Why would this be surprising? As I was commenting to another poster who had recently gone on a diet to lose a bunch of weight, but was still eating 1/2 gallon of ice cream once in awhile, that it would come back. The only way to lose weight permanently is a lifestyle change. Period. No ifs. No ands. No buts. Diets don't work, and never have. The reason a person has gotten fat is because of their lifestyle, nothing else. So often what I hear from people dieting is that "once I lose this weight then I can ___________" (go back to enjoying ice cream, steak, fries, etc....). They don't realize unless they change their life, they will be fat again in just a few months, or a year or two.

My ex's sister was really skinny... actually...she may have been bi

 

[jasoncrew03]

Of the lesbians I've met, the vast majority were athletic/skinny.

Of the "dykes" I've met, and I've met MANY, only one comes to mind who was skinny/average.

 

[yummylongsword]

Weight issues are such a terrible thing. Some people are lucky enough to eat/do whatever the hell they want and never gain a pound. Others exercise upwards of two hours a day and starve themselves with salads and carrot sticks in order to maintain a good weight.

But normal people simply do not have the means or the willpower to do this. Not everyone has the will to get up at fucking 5:00 in the morning to torture themselves for two hours on the treadmill before heading off to a full workday. Some people would just go crazy if all they ever ate was fish and salads. And some just can't afford to buy whole wheat, organically made foods.

Our sedentary lifestyle has made it next to impossible to lose weight: by that, I mean we sit ALL day at our jobs, and spend far too long working. As a result, we're always tired and stressed without having actually done any exercise, which is the opposite of what we need for our bodies. We're often forced to skip breakfast and lunch because we're too busy working or we're going to be late, and we end up stuffing ourselves at dinner because of it.

Only the rich, people with extreme willpower, or the lucky can be thin nowadays. Judging from my family, I'll probably gain weight as I get older, and that scares the hell out of me.
