Investing for the future

[Bobs]

If anyone ever watches “How I met your mother” there was an episode last fall (The Yips) in which Barney reveals the only reason he joined the gym is so that he can compliment fat women who are trying to lose weight. He refers to it as his investment for the future. When the women lose weight, they will remember Barney fondly as the man who complimented them and encouraged them while they were loosing weight and then he can benefit from their attention when they are hot.

This to me is brilliant. And I can assure you it works. As a bisexual woman, I have an interesting perspective on this. I am incredibly vain when it comes to women and I would never consider dating a “fat” girl. However, until recently I would have been considered obese. I was always surprised when men would compliment me when I was heavier, knowing I would never considering dating a woman my size. I always thanked them, but ignored their advances, having a hard time believing they could actually be attracted to me. I just recently lost over 60lbs. And all of a sudden I have a lot more men complimenting me now than I did a year ago. I have a whole new self-confidence, and am enjoying the idea of dating many of these men. However, the men I am considering first, are the men who complimented me before I lost the weight and encouraged me while I was loosing it.

So whats your point? (not trying to be rude)

Her point is: Go out into the jim and compliment on women who try to lose fat

Well I personally wont to that and im not going into the gym just to compliment ppl i will never ever see again and who i wont even recognise

I think the point is that woman who were fat in the past are more sensible to comments related to their weight.

And I think that all women are seinsible when it comes to their weight. I read somewhere that the three sweetest words you can say to a woman are: "You look thinner." "Aww, really? That's just the sweetest thing."

But in that logic... It works for any kind of attribute you have control of. "Your face looks a lot cleaner now." I'm not sure that would work. They may interpretate it as: You used to be ugly but now you're not.

I think it only works if they were awere of themselves before ("What the hell do you mean, I was fat?") and are proud of the new self.

Does this make sence?

@smackler i hope so

but hey the threadstarter meant go to a Gym and compliment those fat ladies who are there to loose it and when they will lose ist, they will want you blabla

I think that the club is still better then the gym to pick up chicks. And why would you want to wait until they are thinner? It takes time for a chick to get thinner when last week she was eating 5 donuts a day (Just for breakfest) and has well over 50 kilos.

I could type over 5 things that are bad about this idea. With this you're assuming she will care and, worse, you have weeks to wait for a 4 to turn into a 7 so you can date her! (*cough cough* desparate maybe? *cough*) Can't you go strait to the FOUNTAIN OF HOTNESS and try for something with shape? (Not round shape, mind you! :nervous: ). You should!
