Personally, I can't wait 'till we've run out of usable antibiotics - then we can all die early of simple bacterial infections again, and we'll hear no more endless whining about heart disease and cancer.

Some are a lot better than heart disease and the complications of diabetes. One of my grandmothers died at 93 simply of being old. That would be just fine with me.

If only we could guarantee such an outcome just by living virtously.
One of mine never smoked, never drank more than 2 sherries once or twice a year and never ate more than would keep a bird alive. By her late 50s she had early onset alzeimers and parkinsons. For the four years before she died at 68 she was hospitalised, bedridden, catheterised, spoon-fed and living in nearly constant fear of an incomprehensible world.
The other died at 86 from throat cancer caused, most likely, by 70-odd years of smoking. Sore throat on monday, in hospital by thursday and dead by the weekend. Which would also be pretty fine by me.
Unfortunately we don't get what we deserve. They just want us to think we do.

Well, if you're going through rafts of men, a la comet's suggestion, it'd be a great way to keep your weight down, I would think!
Anyway, genetics of course affect things, but it seems that one's lifestyle choices can make a difference. But of course, you could get hit by a bus.

I haven't been going through rafts of men. But in light of the potential for weight loss, perhaps I'll start!

But, MouseThief, it has to be a bus.
After all, a train has a cowcatcher on the front, and that would shove the fatso aside and ruin the whole effect.

You have the audacity to ruin my personal 2-year record of having never been called to Hell, with one of the most lame complaints in the history of these boards; within said Hell-call, I am not only suspended for two weeks but suffer the humiliation of having to shut down my personal shipmates' photo website under threat of my internet service provider being sued by an outraged, permanently planked shipmate who has an inflated sense of the proprietary nature manifest in his digital image and you want to know "Why can't we all just get along?"

Speaking as the admin who did the suspending, I want to make it completely clear that your suspension was a result of your own actions and your own poor judgment. I thought that you had chosen to accept your personal responsibility for that episode?

Ummmm - Gort?
Have you considered heading down to Daytona Bike Week which runs from March 2-11th?
You could stroll along snow-white beaches, watch the dolphins leap, watch the Harley motorcyles leap, maybe pop a valium or two...
For what it is worth, I regret that your suspension ever happened, but I personally played absolutely no part in it.
You and another shippie were on a tangent, and things simply got away on you.
Speaking of tangents, what are you doing on this thread, since, looking at your photo in your gallery, you do not appear to be overly fat?
Now, I could stand to lose some weight, but am mostly here to try to run over someone with a bus.
After all, Marvin told me to fuck off; the first part of his instruction was fairly simple to carry out, but finding someone to "off" has been a bit more difficult. Are you, perhaps, volunteering?
Happy New Year, Gort; I think maybe I will go spend some time under my bridge wit the Three Billy Goats Gruff, to give you a chance to calm down a tiny wee bit.

Don't forget that many flimsy men can be woven together to make a much stronger flimsy man. Multi-thread flimsy men have many uses, including sail-making, about-the-house and macrame.

One of the observations that I found myself stewing in this holiday was how uncomfortable I was seeing my father frail and withered, and distinctly missing his previous cortisone-prompted obesity. Although, my grandfather has always been a slightly-built steel spring of a man, and at 78 he'll still outwork any other ten men combined.

Before I graduated university and could afford food, I was 66kg at 1.88m, and my general preference was for girls with soft curves. That is, until I had an ahem "conversion experience" with a fit and trim girl whose physique allowed us to do things previously unthinkable with my rounder girls. Perhaps if every girl got Fit & Trim, there should be arranged interventions for chubby chasers to have similar conversion experiences.

Kelly, I hate to disagree (in Hell, of all places) but frail men do not make good bookmarks: despite their frailty they're still too lumpy and they end up damaging the spine.
I never went for skinny guys, but I had a lovely collection of beautifully muscled athletic types (gymnasts & bicyclists, mostly), back in the day. 2nd husband was definitely against type - he was chunky and hairy AND he turned out to be a bastard, so there you go-- that's a hell thread for you.
RooK, I pose no danger now, but when I was slim-ish I had lethal hips; when I was at my best weight visually I inflicted bruises on my partner... *sigh*... he only complained a little. And then an extra 10 pounds and voila! - I was once again safe to ride... ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

Indeed. We need to get back to the loving accusations that YOU PERSONALLY are killing yourself/ monopolising all available healthcare to the detriment of sickly orphans/ causing global warming/ depleting the ozone layer/ making bad things happen to Africa/ and being DIRECTLY responsible for the First Crusade and all that lead to.
We can't allow a fine viper pit of a thread like this deteriorate into cheerful smut. Fun as that may be.

Yes, please. My graphic rant was simply a literary device, used in anger, to embellish the expletive "blow me".
Can we just move on to "fatties vs skinnies" before I'm skewered by RooK or Scot? I'm far more interested in the ramifications of RooK's "conversion experience" with a fit and trim girl than seeing more speculation on my questionable virility.

Well, for Christmas we had a thoroughly orphan-sickening orange-glazed roasted duck in a port sauce, potatoes roasted in the fat off the duck and maple-roasted parsnips, along with any amount of deeply evil home baking (my mince pies particularly rocked, warm with cream). And we just finished making a creamy tiramisu for tomorrow's Ne'ers Day dinner that is probably deadly in itself. And I already started in on a rather nice bottle of cava.

I want to hear from all those guys on Dating Threads past who sung all these hymns of praises to the ample woman. Why are you guys kicking back and letting RooK have the last word on who is sexy, and who should be converted?

We aren't going to try to persuade RooK, or anyone else who says they prefer skinny women, because if by some chance we did succeed, there would be fewer of you lovely sexy, woman-shaped women for us.

I did what now? I thought all I was doing was addressing the ridiculous tongue-in-cheek suggestion that over-ample women need to maintain their spheroidal profile for the sake of chubby-chasers. And I did so by suggesting, not very originally, that generally every man that includes soft curves among things he can find sexy will not have necessarily dismissed more lithe female shapes from that set.
Indeed, I suspect that most who proclaim to have high regard for blobular shapes are going to have a pretty high correlation with those who have little hope of attracting anything else. It's a self-selecting set of dubious objectivity.

There is "blobular" and there is "lithe" and somewhere in between a lot of sexy women. Certainly, many more than think they are.

my attempt of translation of RooK's post: Men who prefer fat chicks could consider skinny chicks if given the chance. Men who are really bent on fat chicks are probably not attractive enough to get anything else.
Being a person who is too uptight to talk about sex even in hell, I will not challenege that portion of posts.
I am reasonably certain though that chubby-chasers are not the only men I attract. I have enjoyed the company of men who never dated a fat chick beforehand. And yes, a very fit man himself, who did not hold my blubberous carnal carbon form against me. And I have seen chubby chasers get won over by a personality encased in a skinny carbon form. Sometimes attraction is a random thing that confuses and befuddles people. I don't find it a bad thing if a man prefers a type I am not part of. There is plenty who will pick me since I honest, open and intelligent in some area. Whatever floats your boat. I just hope Gort does not lure you into describing sex in hell otherwise I am out of here for awhile. My puritan uptight white girl sensibilites just can't stand it. thx.
So I remain unmoved. And I ate another biscuit.

I'm impressed.

Don't mislead yourself into thinking that I'm arguing against you directly. Or that I think "sexy" is only about physical shape...
[tangent]
The sexiest organ is the brain. By far.
[/tangent]
However, as this is a discussion about the unflinching stare at the condition of human obesity, there is no denying that physical shape has a sexual element. It is also my understanding that it is commonly agreed among psychologists that apparent health is the #1 contributing element to what most humans find sexually appealing. So, inasmuch as shape can suggest conditions of health, so too will shape be more or less appealing.

Do you have any idea of how hard it was to resist after you said that? Luckily, even my extremely low standards prevent me from capitalizing on such an easy mark.

You're just saying that because you're ugly, right? Because that opinion of mine could use some refining. It's based on the general observation that humans tend to self-sort and associate with what they seem to consider to be others of similar status. However that status tends to be socially (read: somewhat arbitrarily) ranked at the time.
