That man's body shape is not flattering. Did you think I picked it because it looked good? Saying that a 5' 9" male at 200 lbs is obese though is ludicrous, overweight sure. To say that he is a fattie that deserves a 250 pound woman IS trolling, faggot.
The average sedentary 5'9 200lb man is 3lbs off from obese. Some lurking butthurt fatties in this thread eh? It was only a half-troll; you don't think its silly to describe oneself as 50 fucking pounds overweight and in the same breath imply some sort of superiority to others that are 75lbs overweight?

The difference is average height of a woman and that at 5' 4 or 5 that is going to translate to some obvious changes to their attractiveness. Someone that is 5' 9" and 200 lbs can quite possibly be ripped, I didn't post those pics. Their weight might not be visible in the form of double chins though and just an overall softening. They might know that they should shed some pounds but they know they haven't totally let themselves go.

I'm not arguing that a 250lb woman is far too heavy -- I'm just pointing out the irony in describing oneself as ~40lbs overweight and then complaining about getting attention from people ~75-100lbs overweight. Any man 40lbs overweight stopped giving a shit; he is on the eatbeast downward spiral. The 250lb women just leveled up their fork skills better and now they want to powerlevel him. No 5'9 200lb ripped man self describes as "could lose 30-50"... If you think a sedentary 5'9 200 is "haven't totally let themselves go" then, well, what can I say... I'm clearly the minority here given the national stats for obesity and morbid obesity.

My point, veiled in sarcasm and cruelty, was that disregarding ~40lbs of body fat on oneself while attempting to date is obviously an uphill struggle.

At what point do you lose the ability to not want to fuck hambeasts? If I'm 10 lbs overweight can I still pass judgement on them, or is there a threshold?

At what point do you just say, fuck it, I'd rather watch porn and jerk it? If my only options are 250lb chicks, I'm probably not making a move. What the hell.

Well if your only options are fat chicks, and you're not into fat chicks, you should probably make an effort to lose some weight and change your dating pool. Or just watch porn and jerk it like you said.

But honestly it just sounds like he expects women to flock to him instinctively like Salmon of the Capistrano. That's not usually how it works.

This is a 5' 9" 200 lb man.

This is a 5' 4" 250 lb woman.

Do you see the difference?
This is a pretty good comparison as to what I'm talking about and I've seen women talking to me that were even bigger then this. My gut is bigger then his but everything else is about as close to a match. I have a lot of leg muscle and upper body strength from heavy lifting throughout my life which does nothing for streamlining a gut. For that I need to run and take in less calories but I get bored as shit every time I try to do it.

The women are fucking doughgirls with rolls of fat. I don't have under-under arms. My underwear does not sit under a roll of belly fat. I don't have folds of skin that I have to wipe sweat from. I don't have double chins. I am not out of breath after 4 flights of stairs. My stomach does not touch my steering wheel. I wear XL not XXXL. I can certainly lose 40lbs and look leaner for it but no way am I ever going to settle for rolling hills of landmass until then. Fuck. That.

I don't expect to pull in a bunch of 120 lb fit early 20 somethings women but they could at leastweight less then me. I'm surprised that some of you even consider that a lofty goal.

Bullshit. I was 240lbs 3 years ago. Got down to 200 lb and have been steady there for a year just putting in smaller meals. At some point I just have to do the boring ass workouts that I don't like and I get that but I'm not currently gaining weight either. 200lbs and 5'9 as a male is not free willy territory.

200 5'9" is definitely a chunky dude, while he might not have a lot of rolls, he's fat. I know cause I've weighed that much and was disgusted by how I looked.

Don't even bother arguing with a_skeleton_03.

Selix, it's not what exercise you do, it's how much you eat. For most people, it's easier to reduce portion size than commit to hours of intense cardio a week.

Or incorporating a healthy hobby into your life(hiking/camping/whatever) . You get the weight loss of all that along with the people who are into that lifestyle too who usually aren't hambeasts.

Edit: though you do run the risk of running into hippies who use deodorant crystals and don't shave their bush.

Oh Lord this thread is going downhill where fatties are posing as jacked muscle bound roid heads and that is the reason for their weight

I was kinda happy dropping ~25lb getting to 220 at 5'10". (Halfway point)

Shaming the fuck out of these dudes at 200, I must still be a god damned hambeast in denial.

Anyone who does cardio for weight loss is a dumbass. It's completely not fucking worth it. Lift weights and stop eating like a fucking pig, it's that simple.

If you're really trying to lose weight, nothing wrong with doing some cardio along with lifting and not eating like a fucking pig. Its once you start to get lean that you need to cut down the cardio or balance your calories more so you can gain muscle. When you're a fatass cardio is fine.
