We all knew one kid like that.
I used to be one.  But I suppose I had too many accidents and too many health problems.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Actually it's a struggle for me - that's what I mean. I don't have the best metabolism, so I have to watch what I eat a lot and when I let myself go for a week or so, I immediately gain 5-10 pounds. So I refuse to agree that everyone who is fat is struggling as hard (or harder) as I do but their genetics somehow keeps them away from getting slimmer.

Besides as Iormlund points out it can't be that Europeans are so genetically superior to Americans when it comes to keeping from becoming obese.
It's not just a question of metabolism.

Someone working a desk job 8hrs a day and training 2-2.5hrs a day vs someone of the same age working physically (farmer, construction worker, lumberjack, etc) 8-10hrs a day is just not the same.  Figure that there can be the equivalent of 6hrs or sustained gym work there for someone not doing desk job.

Yeah, I've met and talked with plenty of women with killer bodies that like their men with "meat on their bones".  Go fig.

:yes:

I find Max much sexier now that he's gained some weight. When I met him, he looked a lot like I imagine Ide does. Now he looks like a man. Before he looked like a boy.

Hey, I just noticed this. <_<

Ide's little boy body.

I figured that was Beeb, Ide is too weathered by all the tobacco.

Wrong.

Though I will certainly concede that Beeb looks like he's fifteen.

Well he's Canadian. In general, aside from the lumberjacks, a Canadian man is like an average American man if you take away about 50% of his masculinity, on average. So the average Canadian man is only 50% more masculine than you, Ide.

So you're saying Ide is 1/3 of a man? :nerd:

When I don't shave for a few days, I have all these greys, Fu-Manchu biker-style on my chin.  :(

I wish I could grow it.  :(
