Okay, I'm not trying to pick a fight, I promise. I love men. As I've stated here before, some of my best friends are men. There is just one thing that men tend to do that just irritates the foo-foo out of me. If a man's wife, in the natural processof aging,childbirth, etc.; starts to put on a little weight, you guys get all bent out of shape whining and pouting about your're just not attracted to her anymore. Well, do ya think she's still drooling over your bald head, false teeth, and beer gut? I mean,are you people really so drop dead gorgeous that you have the audacity, the unmitigated gall to criicize a woman for putting on a few pounds after giving birth to your children? What is up with that????????? I understand being concerned about a loved one's health, but all you people seem to care about is not having a size 5 Barbie on your elbow. Unless your Tom Cruise, you better come down from Planet Imtheman and join the rest of us here in the real world. Men don't age anymore gracefully than women do.
I'm not directing this at anyone in particular. Just the male gender in general.Guess I just needed to let off a little steam. I hope I didn't offend anyone. If I did,just chalk it up to a fat lady with P.M.S. which by the way stands for Puttin' up with Men's Stuff.

Men do not lost as much in his look with aging as women do. But this is not a point. American men have options. If some middle age American does not like the way his wife looks like he can send his profile in one of marriage agency in Eastern Europe or South East Asia and in the next few weeks get for himself a drop gorges brand new wife half of his age.

All right, ease down there tubby.
Maybe lay off the "eating for two" Baskin Robbins and you might snap back into shape after the little tacker.
Elle Macpherson did it, it cant be THAT big an expectation for us men to have now can it?

That's cruel? Her hubby says she fat and immediately all men are to blame.
Dancer, get a clue. I've never seen you, to my knowledge, and have no idea what your weight is. So both o' you blame who you're upset with, not a bunch o' strangers.

Hmmm...HisWarrior, interesting response. And pray tell what you are so riled up about? No one called YOU fat. YOU never gave birth or suffered through the labor process, did you? Ever been in a woman's shoes? The sacrificial act of giving birth should be honored and certainly not used to insult a woman or hold her in scorn because her body changed. So you're so riled up because of what now?

I think I posted what I'm riled 'bout. I never, nor did most men, call Dancer fat. So blame the source, not to innocent.

okay here is my 1 too many cents worth for this thread. Personally, i feel the first two replies were quiet shallow and cruel, but that is Their perspective, not all guys in general. I believe that is what hiswarrior was trying to say, and was upset about. Not all guys are like that. In fact, i know two very personally and dearly who do not mind my imperfect details... they look right pass them into me, and my soul within. Sure they are there, but they love me so much, it just doesnt matter. Women, as a woman personally... pregnancies and all hey gain the healthy weight you need to, and if ya pack on 10 pounds or so, that is normal, but also please take care of yourselves. No one wants to really exercise, but out of love for you and your husbands, take pride in how you look... at the same time husbands be understanding and caring. Weight is a very sensitive thing. Dont tell a wife cause of her weight it makes her unattractive, instead try to boost her. Tell her what it is about her that you love so much and what turns ya on. I do believe most wives do want to please their husbands. But always before addressing such things, pray and seek to the Lord... pray that he gives you the wisdom to say the right words that your wife needs to hear, and pray that you may have the right motivations. Women have a hard enough time dealing with their non barbie qualities... they do not need someone expecting them to be the impossible... we are not all built like barbie...we are each uniquely made.

Oh please, I'd have thought you people would have realised I was being ironic when I compared her to Elle.
Can't a fella be a little lighthearted?
Evidently Catheriney2k knows what hypocrisy is though...
"YOU SAY YOUR A CHRISTIAN"..."JUDGE YE NOT LESS BE JUDGED"
Aahh dear...
Anyway
agelessdancer made a broad generalisation about men, so I responded with good humour by adopting the role she'd thrust upon me by assuming the persona of a stereotypical chauvinistic male.
agelessdancer also shot herself in the foot when she said "Unless your Tom Cruise, you better come down from Planet Imtheman" suggesting in fact that although she feels all women should be treated with respect no matter their appearance, she would be more lenient if the man was as good looking as Tom Cruise, this is another case of contradiction, double standards and hypocrisy.
If you have a problem with me making a joke, I suggest first you examine your own ideals.

Ok, at the risk of being the outcast here, I want to say that my wife was more beautiful pregnant than before. Not because I am thrilled by the look of a woman with an unnatural bulge in her midsection (LOL), but because she is carrying MY child. I was so proud when my wife was pregnant with my children, I couldn't stand it. Now, after she had my child, there was a need for her to lose the extra "baby fat", but it didn't make her any less of a person, nor did I ever mention that she was fat or ugly. I have been married for nearly 11 years now, and my wife went from 150 pounds when I met her, to nearly 300 pounds during her childbearing years, and now back down to 135 pounds. But, she dropped all her weight, not for me, or because I thought she was a "cow", but because #1. it became a real health issue, and #2. She wanted to feel good about HERSELF. Granted, she is much more PHYSICALLY attractive to me now, but the person inside has never changed. The woman I fell in love with is still inside, and (as randy travis so eloquently put it) "your hair is turning gray, but even if it all fell out, I'd still love you anyway"
In God's Ever Abundant Love,
Carl

{just chalk it up to a fat lady with P.M.S. which by the way stands for Puttin' up with Men's Stuff.}
agelessdancer,
your problem is obvious. You blame men for your own dissatisfaction with yourself. You refer to yourself as a "fat lady", which sounds to me like you don't find yourself very attractive. Are men to blame for your own lack of self-esteem?
You even blame your own hormonal exchanges on men! "Puttin' up with men's stuff", indeed. . .
Quit looking for validation from the world. Concern yourself with being validated by God instead; this is all that really matters anyway.
