NightOwl2255: Is she fat?


Married to Pierce Brosnan so she is rich.

pfft that's easy enough to fix

Why are these results $HOCKING (in the words of the always-reliable New York Post)? Most Americans (apparently, according to surveys and whatnot) are already fat, and they're not getting paid.

And why are these recent polls always of women, and not men? How many men would choose to be fat and rich? I'm guessing the results of that poll would be even more $HOCKING.

NCg8r: I'm not the type that gets impressed by famous people

I worked for a resort hotel where you could get fired for pole-jocking the celebrities. After your 2nd or 3rd run-in with someone famous, you get used to ignoring them (or treating them like spoiled guests, which we did for everyone at our resort).

After I while, I got to the point where I would make a HUGE fuss over the normal people located near the celebs and give the celebs "the standard treatment". Kinda like hitting on the hot girls chunky friend... I found that the athletes liked to be treated like normal folks, but the actors/actresses actually want you to make a big deal about them (so they can brush you off and pretend it bothers them).

I worked the Benefactors tent at a big golf tourny one year and had an infamous golfer get SCREAMING mad at me because I made him pay $4 for a can of coke, just like everyone else had to. He swore I'd be fired on the spot, but management confirmed I did the right thing. Thing is, I would have made him pay even if I knew it was wrong! He'll get over it. He won over $100k that day...

Cool story.

It always worked the best for me behind the bar when I treated customers as people, instead of customers. Our managers actually wanted us to shake everyone hand's and introduce yourself, etc. I always felt that the customer's will see that you are trying too hard, plus in my opinion that looks fake. I treated them normally and they respected me more for it. Wilt Chamberlain sat on my bar once and I gave him a drink and briefly talked about bball, just like two guys would.

FTA: If American women could choose between having Jennifer Aniston's bikini body or a million dollars, three out of four would take the money and run.

Wait, when did having $1 million make you rich? That's about $50K per year if you only spend the interest earned by investing conservatively ...

And after they splurge on the Mercedes, vacations, boat, and house full of toys, they're back to being "poor" again.

/ $1 million ain't what it used to be

leahmaria: I used to be pushing 300.
I'm down to right at 200 and still going - and over the last two years as I've lost, my life has improved exponentially.

You'd never know how much I weigh by looking at me (tested, proven, and tested and proven again,) but I'd wager I'll be a knockout when I finally reach my goal.

I think I'm just sad that what meager breasts I had before will truly be non-existent. (There's nothing more odd-lookin' than a 300-pound woman with barely-C breasts.)

Say what you want about fat chicks - some of them (not nearly enough) are working their hardest to lose weigh as healthily and happily as possible.

Myself, I aim to be fiscally comfortable and physically comfortable.

How YOU doin?

shadax: I'm just here for insecure farkers posting pictures of their "hot" wives. Don't disappoint me!

But do know that I want to post. Yesterday at the gym, some guy on the treadmill next to me spent his entire excercise time focusing on my fiancee's bottom. She happened to be on the stair machine in front of us (and enough to the right to not be looking at the tv or whatever). I liked it.

So you've learned enough not to post, but you're also insecure enough to have to brag. However, from your name, sounds like your fiancee` needs to learn a bit about personal hygiene!

Correct about the first part. Incorrect about the second.

Tom's been saying it for years.

Can you name any time in human history when that was not the case?

Nobodyn0se:
I"m calling bullshiat. As the "nice guy," it's been my experience that women ALWAYS go for the asshole. Always. Women don't want a nice guy. THey want someone that will treat them like crap, lie to them, and cheat on them, but drives a motorcycle and has good hair.

/Yes, I'm upset. Sue me.

Hey, believe what you want, but go ahead and tell my new man that he's an asshole, I'm sure he'd really like that.
/He's a doll

westbound pachyderm: Hey, believe what you want, but go ahead and tell my new man that he's an asshole, I'm sure he'd really like that.

From my experience, I put the odds at... 90%. No offense. It's nothing personal. It's just that, at least around here, ALL the assholes have steady girlfriends, and all the nicest, most loving guys are single. And it's depressing to see.

Just wait. At least one of those girls will figure it out. My ex-husband was a total ass, but I'm not stupid. My new man is his polar opposite in all the good ways.

theredsea1: Society is creating more fat people because thin women think big guys are hot.

birdmanesq: Um, kind of. For what is perhaps the first time in human history we experiencing a tremendous glut of available, inexpensive calories. Humans are set up to be efficient utilizers and storers of energy.

Or to paraphrase, society is creating more fat people because society has solved the problem of acquiring multiple daily meals. One of the drawbacks to the successful survival strategies we developed over the millennia is that now we've^* got too much to eat.

^* Western industrialized society, that is. The rest of the oppressed world is still starving.

Well I can say that phase didn't last long for me. No matter what, you can't change them. And it just isn't fun trying to rebel after a while.

The guy I'm with is great, and a real sweetheart. But he was also a boxer for several years. No temper, patience of a saint, wouldn't have believed that he was a boxer if it wasn't for the pictures. He pretty much is the stereotypical "nice guy".

I just think it takes us a while to realize what we actually want.

Yup. That's the way I've observed it. One of my chick friends was in an abusive relationship for the longest damn time, and I could never figure out why. (She was hot, I'm nice, and I was none too happy with the situation). I think it's one of those hard learned lessons that only through experience you can truly learn.

That's cause I'm not a dirty Mexican. Oh yea, I did go there.

take a hint from me guys. even nice guys can ride motorcycles.

Oh lawd, that was funny. How about really smart, kinda pretty, and only a little crazy?

In recent years, I've considered myself lucky that I have no looks, social skills, confidence or, as a disposable commodity, money. That way, I don't go around feeling like I deserve to be with some doe-eyed perfect-bodied hottie, and instead enjoy my life with my moderately overweight wife who more-or-less gets me, and our two over-the-top-gorgeous little kids, knowing full well how good I've got it. I've never seen a sense of entitlement lead to anything but misery. Come to think of it, I've never seen being with* the perfect, doe-eyed hottie lead to anything but misery, either.

I'll let you in on the secret: Women want confident, assertive guys. Guys who know what they want and act like it. "Nice" is a woman's criteria for her clothes, not her men.

Which makes us both right, of course, because the aggressive jerks with all the chicks are very assertive, who know what they want and generally get it. It's just that they've taken their assertiveness up to the neanderthal level, and most women can't see the difference.

aw damn, Tat'dGreaser i think she's calling you out.

techmom: There is an unfortunate tendency to mistake arrogance, if not assholery, for confidence. A confident man is attractive, and doesn't need to be rude, crude or condescending in any way. If those women are so damaged that they will put up with that kind of behaviour, then you're looking in the wrong places.

A woman who is intelligent, confident & mature doesn't put up with an asshole - at least, not for long. As westbound pachyderm has testified.

Techmom speaketh the truth. I dated an endless parade of neurotic gals all thru high school and college, and I could never make them happy because (surprise, surprise) they just didn't know WHAT they wanted. They were too insecure and too immature to be one-half of real, lasting relationship.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that some of them ever grow out of that stage of development. Those are the ones who end up in dead-end abusive relationships.

Once I found an intelligent, mature, self-assured woman to be my partner in life, I was happy as hell to ask her to marry me. And she was just as happy to say yes.

That was 20 years ago. And we're still happy. And really, really nice to each other.

I meant for me! Can't a gal have a little self-deprecating humor?

littlett's: Bingo!! I don't want to be with someone that would rather complain about not being with me, than just have the nerve to approach me. A little self confidence goes a LONG way and believe me it can make up for quite a few flaws as well.

So wanna go out with me Friday night?

littlett's: I'm taken at the moment, sorry. But there are a lot of us out there.

Fine. Give me their numbers. Until you do, I'm calling Shenanigans, cause I sure as shiat can't find em.

westbound pachyderm: burndtdan:

sure but it was funnier to misconstrue

"A little self confidence goes a LONG way and believe me it can make up for quite a few flaws as well."

This! My man was my mechanic for years while I was in a bad marriage, watching everything fall apart and listening. One unforgettable day he finished fixing my car, escorted me into his office, and proceeded to kiss me until my socks fell off! I could have slapped him, changed mechanics or both- but he took the chance that I was feeling what HE was feeling and was confident enough to move on that. We've been together and wonderfully happy since. In fact- I've yet to find any flaws! :)

littlett's: Well you most likely your are not going to find them on line, if that is where you are looking.

Yeah, but I'd prefer a nerdy girl. Nerdy girls are found online.

UNfortunately, nerdy girls are a rare commodity, so they get snatched up DAMN quick.

There's more to life than being skinny and beautiful. Like eating doritos and sitting on your ass all day in front of the TV.

theredsea1: The rise of obesity is due to "thin women" rejecting guys of the exact same genes (thin guys) and going for quarterback or linebacker with a HUGE sister.

The have daughters and the thin girl destroys her wonderful genes. In Europe, dating men your own (thin) size is more acceptable and therefore, there are more thin people out there.

I am a genetically-thin person with a lot of type I muscle. I have a high metabolism, and no amount of fatty foods can make me gain much weight, even at 33.

Fast food is not making kids fat. I ate nothing but fast foods, and tons of it, in high school and college as a crew and manager of McDonalds. I ate shiat for every meal, and lots of it, never exercised and never gained a pound.

GENES make people thin or fat.

Society is creating more fat people because thin women think big guys are hot.

This. This. This.

I love being genetically skinny. There are women out there who are into skinny guys but they're few and far in between.

I agree with God is my Copirate , the question is worded poorly. Jennifer is not every woman's body ideal, and not everyone who doesn't want to be Jennifer is fat (I'd rather look like Salma Hyek too). In terms of what I may actually attain, I would like to lose 5 pounds, but if it were a choice between the last stubborn 5 pounds or a million dollars, I'd take the million. After some wise investments, I'd have liposuction, eat cake and watch my breasts grow.

Nobodyn0se I suppose we all have a skewed view of what the other sex wants. When things fail, it's easy to say, "The problem is that I am just too damn nice." I tend to think men who say all women like assholes either date only drama queens and total biatches (because they find nice girls boring or want a "challenge") or they are kind of jerks themselves but do not realize it. I don't know you, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

On the other hand, you do not know me, so please believe me when I say that not only do I like thoughtful, kind and intelligent men who treat others with respect, all of my female friends like "nice" guys too (though many complain we can't find nice guys--must be we have different ideas of what a "nice" guy is than guys do). Then again, I am neither rich nor do I look like Jennifer Anaston, so I may not even hit your radar except as a shoulder to cry on. It's all a matter of perspective.

Just wait and keep a positive attitude. With a little effort, you'll find someone who wants what you want. The odds are in your favor.

I'd rather be rich than stupid.


I also hate unrealistic hypotheticals. If you're not rich or thin, it takes effort to get either, and dreaming about why one is better than the other won't get you there.

This.

Most self-described "nice guys" are in fact shy, meek, submissive weenies who don't have the balls to make the first move and act on their desires. So they remain single, and whine about how "girls only like jerks, they don't like nice guys like myself."

Arrogant jerks at least have confidence, which is why they get girls. But you don't have to be a jerk to radiate confidence. Think of Peter from Office Space when he asked out Jennifer Aniston's character for the first time.: he wanted to ask her out so he just up and did it. He was cool, he was confident, and he didn't hesitate in making the first move. It's a perfect example of how to be confident and assertive without being a jerk.

RE "nice guy" - Of course, we have only your word for that. Just sayin'. The word "nice" doesn't really mean much anymore, because it means so many different things, depending on who you talk to.

Maybe I'm just not very tolerant, but most people seem like assholes to me. I don't see how most couples stand each other (men or women).

I would suggest that if you think all the women you know date "assholes," maybe it's just because no dude is gonna be OK by you if he's screwing the women YOU'D like to be screwing. Maybe the assholes aren't as assholish as you say, you're just letting your dingle do the thinking for you. And if this isn't the case, then are these stupid women dating the assholes really worth having? If I was a guy and I observed a chick choosing one jerkwad after another, I'd write her off and find someone who wasn't so messed up that she has to be in a dysfunctional relationship. That shiat is a two-way street. She knows he's a jerk, she just thinks it's worth it for whatever she believes she's getting in return (money, status, huge penis, etc.).

Also, when women (or anyone, really) complain about an SO, you're only hearing their side. Which almost always makes them look like the innocent victim instead of the more than likely half of the dysfunctional whole that he/she really is. Takes two to make a shiatty relationship.

I'm a nice girl looking for a nice guy. Where am I supposed to find you people?
