Later that evening, he makes another off-handed comment about another girl on TV who wasn't really overweight (maybe her arms were a little flabby): "...no, what you need is a treadmill..."
I think there is a positive side to his comment. "Real men" typically address problems head-on, rather than running away from them. If they are too heavy, they lose weight, rather than whine about it. I think he is expressing this concept, though a bit crudely. Women who address issues directly, rather than try to take the easy way out, or dodge responsibility for their own health, are attractive to me.
Kbee, you don't have to make multiple posts in a thread. You can edit your posts for a few days if you want to add more info to them. I think 7 days is the cutoff point for when you cannot edit posts. When the post is 7 days old, the Edit button disappears.
