04/06 Plastic People

Quote From: confuzalid

Men do have so many double standards. I for one am totally fed up. I have been single every since my overweight husband left me in 96. God knows how in the same year he was married to me he found another attractive woman and decided to go for it. I am now friends with him as we do have children together. But anyway on to this topic. Plastic women are taking us back into the era of women are to be seen and not heard. By God, it may not be in my day and age but someday women will be heard. I wish I could get a group started. This revolution has to start somewhere. Men are sick. They roam about the earth doing not much of anything But boy do they expect alot. Women have got to stop trying so hard to be looked at by men. These plastics are only attracting the sickest of all. Do they think they are achieving true love. Blah, what a joke. What are they going to do when all the plastic slides south with their skin. Bottom line is that there is always someone cuter lerking around the next corner and given the chance any man will pounce. Like it or not Dems da brakes. Gotta love it.

Are you lumping all men into the same category?  If so, that's the wrong way to handle this, and you've basically become a sexist.  (Sexism doesn't just refer to men stereotyping women, ya know...)  I'm a guy, and I'm actually offended by that statement.   

  

I understand that your husband was a jerk, but don't use him as the absolute benchmark for all men out there.  Not all of us judge women solely by looks.   

  

...then again, from what I've seen, the few men, such as myself, that aren't so shallow are often depicted as "dorky," "unattractive," or "weak-spirited," as opposed to "agressive," "popular," orotherwise "attractive."

It really makes me sad to think that you really do believe all men are just great lurking predators out to "pounce" on the next attractive woman that comes into their sights. Oh believe me, I've seen my share of those, too, but I have been truly blessed with a wonderful, loving husband. I can relate to poor Kristy on this show. I've never had good self esteem. I've always struggled with my weight. When I was a child, I was constantly the butt of cruel family jokes and shamed by parents and peers alike. My dad even went so far as to tell me that it was a good think I was smart because I would never be pretty. Ouch! I was thin and, I think, fairly attractive when I met my current husband. Got a little too settled and the pounds started creeping up. Went on a real Health Nut Binge and, with diet and excersize, got a grip on myself. Guess what folks, it's back with a vengenance. I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The Dr. explained that along with the pain, fatigue and mental "fog" that the average FM patient gains 32 lbs. (Always knew I had to be above average at something.)  

  

My kind and wonderful husband has been nothing but supportive and considerate of me. I am at a point where I am ashamed for him to see me unclothed, but he insists that to him I still look the same as the day we met. He says he knew that as we grew older we were going to change. It was just inevitable. His only concern is to see me be as happy and healthy as possible. Thanks to his wonderful attitude I have been "inspired" (as the good Dr. would say) to try harder to lose the weight. This man really is my rock and my strength.

I can somewhat agree with the fact there are double standards with women shouldn't let themselves go but it's justifiable for men.  I have taken alot of pride in the fact I care about how I look to a degree too, but I do it for myself not for the public, whether I was single or married.  But what I think is a dealbreaker is.....when I married my husband 11 years ago his physical state was awesome.  He took care of himself and cared about his appearance.  Now 11 years later yes he still cares about how he looks and is hygenically very clean but...he has gained atleast 60 pounds!  To me that's a deal breaker.  Honestly if I would have met him, eye to eye, no verbal, 11 years ago I wouldn't have stopped to go on a date.   Anyone out there agree this is a total dealbreaker??? I want the same man, physically, that I married.
