Infectious obesity.

This is interesting! How do I catch this virus if I don't already have it? Kissing fat women perhaps? Maybe it's sexually transmitted? Sign me up!! smileysmiley

Hairy chests

Interesting position, joe. Hair on women is the way we naturally are, too. Does that mean I can stop waxing (and yes, it hurts like hell, especially in the beginning), shaving (which I have to do twice a week to look decent), and using depilatory (which smells awful, makes a mess, and takes too long) on my legs and underarms?

I think it would be amazing and wonderful if we could accept each other's bodies as they come, but I'm not putting money on it. smiley



Yeah, but the average woman is a lot less hairy than the average man. To put it another way - it would take a lot more work for me to be "hairless" than 99% of the women out there! My chest hair is long enough to grab hold of - not too many women out there who could claim that! Thank goodness!smiley I would literally have to shave 90% of my body daily to be "smooth".

In general humans focus on the differences between males and females and sexualize them. Different parts get attention in different cultures. Women on average have longer, more slender necks than men - you don't see men getting plastic surgery to make their necks look more slender do you? But how many women have gotten breast implants? Thereby emphasizing a significant difference between men and women.

Hairiness varies between racial groups, so people would be influenced most by what they were exposed to growing up and what they have. Personally I would be happy having less hair on my body and more on my head, but those weren't the genes I was dealt. smiley I blame my father! smiley

Belly support?

Buffetbelly wrote:
I haven't found a garment to support my belly, but when I am out shopping I find ways to rest it.

Shopping carts are great. I plop my pannus over the handle bar. The support is nice, and I can also steer the cart hands free! I still need one hard for turning corners, of course. I get a bit of a thrill manuvering my cart with my hanging belly while loading up on fattening treats. People don't usually notice until they look close, then they do a funny double take! (Is that guy actually steering the cart with his overhang?)

You have to be a bit of an exhibitionist for this one too but I find that check out counters (not the ones with moving belts!) are helpful too, like at the dry cleaners or the drug store. I just pick up my belly and plop it down on the counter. This gets rid of the reach problem, where I can hardly reach my hands around my belly to put my purchases down on the counter or get to the credit card signature device. Of course, this means spreading your belly out into the clerk's personal space, which seems to make them a little uncomfortable but they rarely know what to say! The customer is always right, you know!

Fat people make the best consumers.



Cool! Don't know if I will try it or not though.

Pannus? Just looked it up on Wikipedia if anyone is interested:

Pannus is a medical term for a hanging flap of tissue. When involving the stomach, it is called a panniculus and consists of skin, fat, and sometimes contents of the internal abdomen as part of a hernia. A pannus can be the result of loose hanging tissues after pregnancy or weight loss. It can also be the result of obesity. A pannus can come in many different sizes and shapes and can become very large, even hanging down below the knees. The extra tissue of a hanging pannus can make personal hygiene difficult. Skin conditions such as yeast infections under the pannus are common problems. A massive hanging pannus can get in the way of walking. A smaller pannus can be an annoyance with clothing as the individual sits or stands. Pannus can be removed by plastic surgery operation called a panniculectomy (which is a type of tummy tuck).

I like my pannus (or panniculus) thank you very much!
