Which brings us to the bad news: There is no cure.

Sure there is. It's called losing weight. Well, losing fat and gaining muscle.

I don't have children or feelings, so I guess cellulite is #1 for me.

Oh poor babies, they got all fat and stretched out. And here I thought that equality and respect was their main concerned. I guess looks are way more important to women than actually being considered as human.

Hey, I'm all about the pretty girls, but not at the expense of their health or well being. That's just dumb. And it's the fashion mags that push unhealthy choices.

At this point in my life, my desires in a woman rank pretty much like this:

1. Will not cut my dick off when I sleep
2. No diagnosed psychoses
3. No undiagnosed psychoses
.
.
.
40. Can support herself emotionally and economically
.
.
.
600. Cellulite is kind of icky

 
moothemagiccow 2009-07-04 03:02:09 PM  
I guess my point is you're hot or you're not. Blowing money on makeup and plastic surgery isn't going to change much. I'm just tired of the magazines telling the redheads they need to tan. Not everyone's into mexican girls.

Dear girls,

No straight man gives a frak about cellulite, no matter what fan fluttering fashion moguls might tell you.

See porn, strippers and most married women for details on what straight men seem to prefer.

Personally, I find a little junk in the trunk to be a plus. Usually means good food follows good borking.

B.S.

Being attractive or not is, for many women, the largest contributing factor in their quality of life. If you are an attractive woman you can pretty much float through life and have all of your needs met by various men who appreciate your attractiveness.

While such a thing is possible for men, it occurs much, much, much less frequently.

 
Mykeru [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 03:20:46 PM  
And the most common cures to mankind? That's right, having to listen to some women (thankfully, not all women) yap on like Chihuahuas about how hard they've got it.

On a serious note, I once heard Hillary Clinton (but it could have been most anyone) taking about the people hardest hit by war: That would be the widows and orphans.

The actually DEAD GUYS don't even get a mention.

FTFY. "Womankind"s worst curse is too frequently other women.

 
accelerus 2009-07-04 03:31:27 PM  
I'm a man who (at this point in my life) cares very little about what women think, like someone very wise said a long time ago, if it wasnt for that gooey hole between their legs that felt so damn good, we would have little use for them.

Seriously though -- it's not rocket science. Put down the microwave chocolate cake, and get off your celluite ridden ass and go for a walk, start working out, there is no magic pill or injection that can fix the fact you are fat and lazy.

I agree with Fark Guy Rob though -- if you are smoking hot odds are you won't have to work that hard in life. Nothing wrong with that really, but when you turn 42 and realize you don't have a damn thing to your name or a way to earn income then you are farked. It's actually more shameful for the men that play "sugar daddy" in my opinion. I don't mind doing nice things sometimes, but any woman I'm interested in better damn well be financially independent and never use the words "spoil me".

It's 2009 - didn't women biatch about being treated equal all these years? When you boil it all down all they really want is someone to kiss their ass, play their game, and pay for their shiat.

I weigh around 200 lbs, but I am also almost 6 foot tall, so I can hide a lot. I would love to have something in the trunk to offset the mommy mound in the front. If I would work out consistently, that would probably shrink, but without plastic surgery, it would probably always be there.

Overall, I still have about a gazillion other things to worry about. Like right now, the grill is ready and the hubby is three sheets. Fire department on standby.

 
sarasotarockstar 2009-07-04 04:24:25 PM  
Yes, some men are dogs. Yes, some stray when with beautiful women (Brad Pitt?)

However, it's amazing what a woman keeping in shape vs. ballooning up once in a relationship will do for said relationship.

I work in essentially a retirement community and I see hundreds of couples. It certainly seems that the men with women who still are petite or at least make an effort are much happier than the ones I see with manatees. The look of defeat in those men's faces is palpable.

Stop be a lazy slob and lose some weight if you don't want your partner to cheat. That goes for both sexes.

If life has taught me anything, its that almost noone looks perfect or almost perfect after age 25.

Do the best you can, excersize a little,eat somewhat decently and stop giving a fark. Your friends and loved ones probably could care less unless you have a serious medical condition or are quite over or underweight.

Top three things women are worried about:

Douchebags who think possession of a penis entitles them to real-life-photoshopped vision of perfection.

Douchebags who think possession of a penis and persistence entitles them to the attention of any woman ever.

Period cramps.

/Yeah, yeah, sound fat, ugly, unlaid, whatever.
