When I call a woman an amazon, I’m complimenting her. :-)
But bald can be cool ( See Yul Brynner or Telly Savalas ).
***
The first irresistible bald man who comes to this woman’s mind is Sean Connery. (Broke my heart to find out he’s a stupid lefty.)
IMO, most women over 25 are not so shallow as to be turned off by baldness. Being well-groomed trumps any hair or lack thereof on a man.
Overeating and eating bad stuff is a sin problem that totally gets a pass in just about every church. The government is going to step in with their solution, and it’s going to suck.
Sorry..I miss the /s. :o...
Never Mind.
Patrick Stewart, Jerry Doyle, Dick Cheney ...
Sorry missed the /s..but truth is its getting harder ever day to spot sarcasm ..the world is so crazy
I missed the /s..and dug a hole :/
Yipes! I recognize only Cheney in your list.
Another guy comes to mind, but I did not put his name in because I honestly can’t remember whether or not he is bald: the “Most interesting man in the world” from the Dos Equis (sp?) beer commercials. That man makes me swoon.
No matter how much food I ate or beer I drank, I could probably never weigh more than about 210 pounds, and there are some people who could never weigh less than 210 pounds no matter what they eat or drink.
The laws of physics apply to everyone. However, I agree that some people are more inclined to be inactive (perhaps for medical reasons they can’t help) or to eat more (also possibly for medical reasons). But that doesn’t mean that will power and discipline can’t overcome those reasons, and those people can eat and exercise normally to maintain a normal weight.
Then again, there may be some people who excreting calorie-rich poo or pee, and these folks would be unnaturally skinny. However, it doesn’t work the other way.
Men like this view women as existing either for sexual stimulus - eye candy - or sexual use. Women who dont serve because theyre fat, old, disheveled, or handicapped, or because theyre modest, chaste, ladylike, or mothers, can be openly ridiculed like this.
Jerry Doyle is a radio host in Las Vegas.
Nonsense. The last thing they want is women who have babies.
A search on “Dos Equis Man” revealed Jonathan Goldsmith, age 73. He has a full head of hair and a fine silver beard.
According to the CDC about 1/3 of US adults (over 18) are overweight. Another 1/3 are obese. Obese is a “medically defined term” to mean at increased risk of serious health issues. Traditionally, within the USA as people age they get fatter. We have a baby boomer demographic that is likely to cost (in terms of medical care) due to obesity more money than the government can afford.
One of the ACA (ObamaCare) core concepts is preventive health care. Having the elderly loosing weight if it could be “mandated” by the political elite would be a potentially inexpensive way to reduce health care costs. That is why I see the stars lining up to do all kinds of things to get people to loose weight. That is why I envision public health ads to “shame” people and get their peers to pressure people into loosing weight.
As such, I don't think that “fat” will become the new “black” instead “fat” will become the new “smoking.”
I read awhile back that food was the number one addiction in this country, more than all drugs and alcohol combined. They got the number from counting the number of obese. We seem to be moving in a direction that treats the obese like we do drug addicts and I see many links between food addicts and drug addicts. If the Gov can regulate drugs, what is stopping them from doing the same with junk food? You don’t need junk food to survive nor does it provide any nutritional value.
I wonder how many drug war pimps would support the same treatment and classification of taco bell or candy. Can you imagine Nestle being shut down and treated like we do drug dealers? If the costs we pay as a society for the obese are equal to or more than that of drugs, what really is stopping the war on food?
Extremely heavy people are extremely heavy precisely because of what they do. When they liberated the concentration camps at the end of WWII, you didn't see any fat people.
I think ignorance accounts for most obesity. There isn't any way that you can eat a lot of fast food or junk food and remain healthy. Fat people are people who have developed the habit of eating garbage. Most of them then exacerbate that problem by avoiding any physical activity. And, then there are a lot of folks who reinforce those bad habits by pretending that obesity is some kind of a modern expression of human liberty rather than just ignorance and sloth.
Typically, obese people are ignorant people. Most of them wouldn't do that to themselves if they knew more about their alternatives. They shouldn't be encouraged to poison themselves.
So you read something and you believed it?
Personally, I don’t care who is obese and who is not. My husband’s family has some fat people and all of them are hard-working, decent members of society. Much better than a lot of skinny marathon runners who are always dropping dead from heart attacks at 45.
It’s unbearable to me that Conservatives buy into these obviously Left-wing concocted factoids. The Left is on the warpath about food and health because - as at least 3 other freepers have written - they want to control the food supply.
Yes, and they should also purchase special sections of extra narrow seating for the lightweights
