So the propogation of the images normally portrayed in fashion magazines is directly related to a decrease in the banging of fat chicks. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying that we are in agreement on this point.

What the fuck are you trying to say with this tortured sentence? Is your point simply that there is societal pressure on women to look attractive? Please tell me that you are actually trying to make a somewhat more nuanced and thought-provoking point than that, and are not simply trying to kiss up to eo.

I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that you were able to retain this memory.

This is not true. You just were not implying what Adder thought you were implying.

I would very willingingly bang Lizzi Miller.

And it just ocurred to me that the pic that TM posted is more erotic to me than many fashion mag pics exactly because her body looks like someone whom I might actually see in that state of dress in person.*

*Well, maybe not me, but someone who actually occassionally sees women in their underwear in person.

It's John Basedow, of fitness infomercial fame. Who is an excellent demonstration that physical fitness does not equal attractiveness, and a beacon of hope for less than perfectly fit men eveywhere who can take solace in being more bangable than John Basedow.

O.K., we get it. You are a Sensitive Guy. You weep for the women who suffer the psychological torment of societal pressure to be attractive. You actually find yourself alienated from the perfect hard-body women in magazines and television shows. I am certain that you would get a standing ovation on the Oprah show. But guys like Coltrane are more the norm. They are cranking out the pull-ups and want to bang models.

I was just teasing you and trying to divert attention from a certain nameless douchey tiger that we all know and some of us still pretend to like. But speaking of "nameless models with perfect bodies" you sure can name a lot of them, can't you, you big lug.

By this test, the list was deeply flawed by the omission of Stanford.

in minnesota, does "banging" include as a specie, "masturbating then ejaculating on a woman's photographic image," because otherwise I don't see that you have the experience required to make the point you are trying to make here.

On the other, I worry about what "people who look like me" means to many Americans in a country that is on average rather overweight. As someone who has recently tried to start living a healthier lifestyle (and whose body reflects years of having done otherwise), I'm not sure "you are all great just the way you are" is the right message. In other words, it is good thing to be able to accept yourself, but not necessarily a good thing to give up on self improvement.

It's also a good thing to have realistic goals. And that woman is not obese. She ain't svelte, but she's not obese by any stretch.

If you were any more abjectly self-deprecating, you'd be sitting there with a gun in your mouth. Snap out of it, and revel in the glory of you.*
