Okay, here come all of the Body Shaming Police. They’ll call me a “Bro from Beaverton,” a “Mysogynist Pig”,” etc. I’m not from Beaverton and, no, I don’t work for Intel. I’m not from California either. Whether I’m a mysogynist is, I suppose, open to interpretation. Here’s the thing, though: I get it. We’d all love to be thought of as attractive regardless of how little work we put into being attractive to our partner. But, the reality is that your lack of respect for your own physical health and appearance is draining the life out of this relationhsip. I can’t go on having to pretend to be attracted anymore. It sucks that the culture enforces that any man who tries to talk to his partner about her appearance is automatically relegated to the status of Body Shamer. But, that’s what happens, so my only recourse is to blog about it anonymously. Is that healthy? I don’t think so. The culture is coercing us to advance the obesity agenda with the hope that one day milennia of evolutionary selection for healthy bodies will just dissappear and we’ll all be stoked to be super fat. Please lose the gut. I love you. Please lose the gut.
Please Lose The Gut

Maybe suggest to her the two of you take a fitness class together or something. Or take her out to a healthy restaurant, if you can find one that isn’t into pork bellies of foie gras and all that shit.
Or maybe examine your idea of acceptable body types, beauty, and frankly, what it means to be a decent human being. You may not be from Beaverton, but you are one shallow motherfucker.
Unless you have been together for several years or months (enough time to gain said “gut”), it sounds like you’re just realizing that the gal you settled on may no longer be good enough for you. If that’s the case, it’s your problem, not hers.
@ eprophet: you’ve probably never exercised a day in your life. see you at Lardo, sweetie.
Is she starting to get that fat girl smell?
Well, the rest of the worlds attitudes be damned, and let alone Health Issues, if Americans want to be fucking cows, we should embrace it, right?
I suggest you dump her for someone hotter
Amen! This is dead on. Having a hint of muscular definition here is taboo for a guy unless it came from climbing or yoga. Its laughable. What kind of backward culture shuns people for trying to maintain their health and general fitness. Just more Portland nonsense.
Beaverton Bob, you just don’t get it. She is most likely getting a little out of shape because she is getting ready to dump your ass. I know so many guys that talk like you about their wife or girlfriend. I bet you are so so at best, and your Mother told you,you were A Hot catch.
I love eating raw chocolate chip cookies dough and love being alone. Let her go because you are too much man for one girl to satisfy your primal needs.
^If that’s the kind of crap you eat then it’s a good thing you love being alone
Author is bald.
Author is balding.
Author has hair growing out of his nose, but is bald.
Author is Matt Forney.
What is the “obesity agenda?” I’m obese and feel left out because this isn’t something I’ve ever heard of before. Is it like the “gay agenda?” If you judge us to have an agenda, please let us in on the secret. That way we can mobilize and act as one big old fat mob more effectively.
Your momma’s so fat she has her own agenda.
Candy Coded – You sound like someone who’s bitter because they went overboard with the cookie dough and got dumped, but then tried to play it off like it’s all part of your master plan.
My advice? Start a brigade of chubscouts and march against those who shame your enviable physique. But that would be exercise and would thus go against your code of standards…
Predicament…
“You can do sidebends or squats, but please don’t lose that GUT!”
^ For the love of Christ, would you please come up with a new joke dumbass?!?!?!?!
^AbeRows- I find it strange you set up an account just to come back to a fellow commenter. Thank you anyway, and lighten up. It is about humor, your just jealous because some of us are funny. You are not funny. Stay on Topic slick.
Now I have work to do saving lives. This is just a way to prepare myself for my 30 hour a week job being a food taster. Chow
^ You’re not funny either candy ass. I find it strange that you care about what I post. Especially, since it has nothing to do with.
BTW, nice pretentious comment about what you do for a living. Good luck finding someone who cares.
^jtr douche, I made a comment to Aberows who made a comment to me. If you don’t think I’m funny, I do. It is Friday, maybe we got our signals crossed. I guess your Aberows too.
^ I love reading when someone else types out JTR=Douche. Thank you for that.
Admittedly, I jumped to conclusions and was a jerk. Sorry about that. Once I read the part about creating a specific account to attack another commentor, I completely overlooked who you were referring to. Again, my bad.
My disdain for JTR can, at times, make me somewhat reactive.
Why do you have to draw in all these social attitudes, labels and for Pete’s sake “millennia of evolutionary selection for healthy bodies will disappear”? Umm don’t think it ever even appeared Dude. That Motto or Mantra above the mirror at your weight bench is total diarrhea. If you can’t mention your breakdown over her paunch to her and can’t imagine you’re with Charlize Theron while schtupping just to perform with vigor for her and hopefully don’t have any youngster body builders, then pursue a taut ab queen. See how that goes. Get back to us with an update okay. I smell “Mate of the Year” honors just around the corner.
@ very vaped: ummm…..pretty sure it appeared, dude.
Absolutely true that healthy bodies have a better evolutionary chance of procreation. Also true that IA would do a lot better to focus on caring for his partner and suggesting healthy activities rather than being a misogynistic pig and just saying “lose the gut”. And I must say I do respect anyone who is healthy and happy with a larger physique. While you may not date shallow narcissists like this asshole, you will indeed be happier alone or find yourself coupled with someone who loves you as you are. As for the troll wars going on I think the integrity of IA would be much better served by staying on topic and not shit smeared with commenters mindlessly attacking commenters. That’s really lame and annoying when the rest of us (the grown ups) are trying to have a discussion.
