Men who are obsessed with their body image - a diatribe...and also LNST

I think it is weird and slightly "sus" (as the youngsters say) for a man to be overly concerned with his body image.

To me, this is something that is normal for women. But for a man to make it his primary or even a major focus of day to day life just doesn't seem normal.

The purpose of eating right and exercising are normally to benefit one's health. When I hear men talk about how they "cheated" on their diet and ate something or that they feel guilty for all the food they ate, it sounds like something a female would say.

Don't y'all think so?

I love being able to eat whatever I want. I have good genes so I can never be obese. I'm thankful for that.

My philosophy is that health is wealth. Eating right is never a bad thing. Going to the gym is beneficial, and I encourage that.

But at a certain point, the meatheads out there who put a needle in their butt on some Dbol or whatever are really just working to impress other men. It's like their body is a car that they modify and build up to add horsepower so they can meet up in a parking lot and show off their whip to other gearheads.

The reality is that while being a roided out meathead might get you some double takes from attractive women, women will be the first ones to tell you that intelligence, humor, and a fat wallet will get you much farther than how much you can curl.

And if you live in a state like Texas, ain't nobody intimidated by your body builder look. And you know why.
