Teflon, you represent the rare 10% of the human population that hangs on to muscle with minimal effort, therefore you can't compare yourself to the majority of people in the world

when I was in the field, putting in a physical effort a normal human being will never experience, for months at a time while eating 1 or two meals I day I could easily maintain or even gain where other would drop 20 or 30 lbs.

you even said it yourself.

...for the rest of us (90%) Genetics DOES NOT play a huge part.

Eat proper nutrition
workout
live a healthy life style

That is all ANYONE needs, why are people having a difficult time grasping this concept..for the majority of people on earth, GENETICS MEANS NOTHING !!!!!!

 

[jophil28]

Even if Genetics plated a significant role -what can you do about it ? Nothing ..BUT you can do a lot about what you eat and how you live.
Some people do claim that their "genetics" is working against them in their attempts at weight and health maintenance.
The translation of this is ---" MY lifestyle is poor and I only want to eat what I LIKE ( the statement of a child )
Being healthy requires commitment and effort - uh uh not for me.. I am carrying a few extra pounds- so what ? Who weighs the same as they did in high school anyways ? I like to enjoy my food , Veges are boring .I hate 'em.
People get all 'over the top' about eating healthy. Life is for enjoying yourself.
My Dad was a big man and so I am a big man - like father like son . Nothing I can do about that is there ."

"Hey Marge, get me some garlic bread and fries with that... Super size ."

There's a small percentage of people that easily put on weight and have to watch their calories but most people who claim they only eat X number of calories and still gain weight are underestimating and incorrect about their calorie consumption. For example I think it's scientifically impossible for a large male to only eat 2000 calories no matter how healthy the food is and still get fat.

Of course, I don't give props to the skinny girls who eat like crap, don't workout, and still stay thin and hot. Everybody should be in the gym atleast 4days a week.

Why wouldn't you give props to a girl with "good" genetics? Seems like genes are the most valuable thing especially if they're not lazy and sloppy in other areas.

 

[penkitten]

not all women get fat.

 

[maranathaman]

I think women are more superficial than men.
I have seen many skinny men walking with fat women.
But have seen very few slim women with fat men.

 

[Colossus]

Metabolism and laziness.

EDIT--Curiously, also the same reasons why men get fat. Wow.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Women get fat because they want to be fat. Does that sound outrageous and callous? Well let me also say that men get fat because they want to be as well. Genetics actually does play a role in how many fat cells a person is born with, however it's up to the individual and their lifestyle that plays the bigger part. My brother has always been the "fat kid" but this was due more to his personal decisions than genetics. How do I know, because he's also been a competitive bodybuilder. He's back to being fat now, but he had the potential to win physique contests.

My wife is 43 y.o., she's had one child and could model swimwear now. People are fat because they chose to be fat (with the notable mediccal exception of course). Hell, if it was easy everyone would be in shape. It takes an effort that most people are unwilling to put forth. When you see a hot ass woman she's got 3 things going for her psychologically. First, she's rare - as much as we're bombarded with eroticism in our media, for the greater part of western society, seeing a random hottie in the flesh is notable in a culture where 2/3rds of the population is overweight or morbidly obese. Second, our biologies are finely attuned to symetry and idealized physical forms - in other words arousal is a premium for men. Third, the subconscious recognition that a person in such good shape must put forth a good amount of effort to look as they do. We have a base (not total) understanding of the person's sense of self. This is why we cling to the notions that one person is out of another person's "league".

Although genetics does play a role in how likely one is to get fat, it does not act as an on/off switch. If one is genetically predisposed to a slower metabolism, one is obligated by society to adjust their lifestyle such that they do not become obese and unhealthy. If they do not fulfill this obligation, they must endure a life of mediocrity and ridicule( It is a well-known fact that fat women, and fat people in general, are less respected and successful than their thin counterparts).

I personally have no problem with the obese being marginalized. It is not a fashion statement but a poor lifestyle choice, the same way alcoholism and drug abuse are poor choices. As with people with those disorders, their actions(or lack thereof) speak louder than any words they might spout.

Women often wear their exhaustion as a badge of honor. The more you do for your loved ones, the more acceptable it becomes to "let yourself go." Women believe it's okay to become a "sacrificial lamb" within their own families

I always maintain that you can't take care of anyone else if you don't take care of #1 first...

98% of fatties are such because they do not have (enough) discipline and/or its not important (enough) to them... Very few have genuine medical conditions.

Fat people suck. I have an ex-friend who got fat. I couldn't hang out with him anymore. I got tired of hearing the BS and excuses. He made me look bad when we'd go out. I had a harder time hitting on chicks because his fat ass made me look bad.

Bottom line: genetics determine the path you CAN go down, not the path you WILL go down. Fat people can lose weight. Enough with the lies and excuses.

 

[jonwon]

I work and have assocciated with fatties, thank god none of my sisters or my mother is fat, but i have had girls who are and i have dated girls who's mothers have been fat also.

The key charateristic i see:

they want to get fat, is about as true a statement has anyone can see.

I always find it funny how:

Girls on a diet, have no problem eating a chocolate cake, as long as it comes with a DIET coke, lol!

I find it ironic how these fat chub's will walk into a fast food place, order some convenianve food and order to go with it a DIET coke, like that diet coke is going to stop them from putting on the pounds.

I see girls who state its genetics or big boned whist they stuff there faces, 8x a day with snack's before lunch, after lunch.

A packet of crisps here.
A chocolate bar
and a DIET COKE.

I find it even funnier how these diet fads take it to the extream.

One instance a girl was told to eat fruit, so her idea of eating fruit was to eat about 3x as much fruit has the average person and wash it down with a diet coke.

People are FAT because they want to be and make no effort to not be.

The reason why women are FAT is usually due to them being spoilt and STILL CHASED by the Average western Chump, for anything but sexual gratification.

Also the diet of the modern age, is about fast convienance food that is packed with so much cra* one has to work out or suffer getting fat.

Men usually have a higher matabolism, women need to fat for pregnancy e.t.c
So women are more prone ANYWAY to get fat, its just some women, get lazy and cant be ARSED working off the pounds, or if she does, its got to include the DIET coke regieme some-where.

Fat people are FAT since they CHOOSE to be thats all it ever will be.

GENES play a small part of it, you dont see many fat europeans, well maybe the older and i mean older generation, but the western sphere, i would say 1/3+ are well over waight.

I was dating this chick from lythoania, she said she loves the UK since she feels so attractive has most of the girls where 'fat' compared to her, they where she was a size 8 and pritty dam hot, but i realized on talking to her, she was only hot, in my western idiology; most women are sub par anyway, so no wonder our heads spin when we see a hottie, since there pritty dam rare compared to other places.

The average weight of a western girl i would say is a size 12-14. The average for other places, Far east, Europe i would say would be 8-10, with some places averaging a solid size 8.

I'm too busy to exercise
I can't afford to eat good food
I'm not THAT fat as compared to so and so.
My body hurts when I don't eat
I faint when I don't eat
My blood sugar is really low and I need to eat
I took Acutane and it made me fat
I took Acutane and it really hurt my feet so I cant walk
I have a thyroid problem
I like to enjoy my life
I know what my body needs and you don't
Girls need to eat more than boys

...but they don't get that their blood sugar is on a rollercoaster ride because of their lack of discipline and those bloodsugar spikes actually just pack on the pounds.

damn b!tch eat some oatmeal and drink water instead of a pack of chips and DIET soda. it fills you up just as good, and guarantees you're not going to be "hungry" or "low-bloodsugar" within the next 20 minutes...
i sometimes shake from hypoglycemia, but eating ONE piece of candy helps me get through till my next meal, not a fu*king PACK of candy!!!!

there's just no talking sense into them whatsoever...

*m out

I'll be the first to say that breaking eating habits is tough. But if you keep getting fat, you have only yourself to blame.

I don't want to hear that, "I'm beautiful on the inside" bit. If you were beautiful on the inside, you would want it to reflect on the outside.

 

[NickSCFC2000]

The amount of girls I've seen get fat once they've gotten into a relationship is crazy. Same goes for blokes often though.

Apparently America has more obese men than women, it's the opposite in the UK, alot of whales here.

The key to staying in shape is to learn to be a little hungry. If a person feels a little hunger, than his body is telling him that he should get something to eat. By not eating so much in response to that hunger, the body does not get the excess calories to store away as fat.

Ask anyone who has dieted (especially those who do not exercise) - the key to weight loss is simply to only eat a certain amount, be hungry and then say f--- it. It is ironic that women put up with much, much more discomfort in reproduction, but they tend to not like to put with hunger and exercise soreness.

How to spot a rich guy.

 

[Bonhomme]

A smallish % of women get fat on account of heredity.

It stands to reason that % should remain more-or-less consistent, unless people with "fat" genes are outbreeding others (why am I all of a sudden thinking of Devo?).

Mostly bad diet and lifestyle. Like one formerly hot friend of a friend whose house I visited, and there was junk food and a huge pizza box right out there. No exercise machines...

Grinder's point of a woman being in shape as showing value is well taken.

 

[Blackmm]

RACE also plays a factor in female weight gain. Typically Asian and White females are on the smaller end of the scale while Hispanic, Black and Native American women are on the heavy side. Just pick up a copy of King and XXL magazine. The body dimensions of the models would be considered plus size in the mainstream world but it is accepted in the hip hop community,

 

[synergy1]

Being obese in my mind makes a statement about ones work ethic, discipline, and self worth. Its easy to say you want to go on a diet and start shedding those pounds, but promptly hitting up MacDonalds after uttering those words puts them back in line with the rest of the USA. Its easy to say that you may be fat but ' have a great personality' -- but clearly that personality is devoid of virtues I believe vehemently in.

One instance where I was pleasantly surprised was with a girl a met a few weeks ago. I found out she liked playing sports with her old boyfriend when they were still dating. She valued other qualities in life besides money and eating, which is a breath of fresh air.
