re: Men who get married and let themselves go

I did tell you why. You immediately discounted it. You are wholly self- satisfied and the theme of your threads are to tell those you imagine don't live well how to live well. Where to vacation, how to stay attractive to your spouse, etc. It's not that I don't like you or even agree with you, it's that I recognize the relentless hubris of youth. You will change and your perspective will change and you will be embarrassed by what you thought you knew. There is a forest there behind that tree you are pointing at.

Also during that time frame your body goes through some serious changes. Testosterone lessons, metabolism slows down ect... I'm guilty of gaining some serious weight in the past 4 years, but now that my kids are older I have started to live a healthier life. Eating better (cutting out soft drinks) and setting aside at least 20-30 min a day to get a jog in. If I can do that for an entire year, and make it be my new life style in time things will be better. It's been 3 weeks I already feel a lot better, and clothes are starting to fit like they should.

Yeah, and your reasoning was poor. But we can't even have a proper discussion because you're too wordy and long-winded. You get lost in your own self-righteous arguments. Again, discussing the themes of my threads, as if it's relevant to this discussion. It's not.

Let me help you: "you'll be older some day and will be wiser from your experiences." This may be true, but it's not a counterpoint to my point. Your "wisdom" hasn't benefited you much if this is the basis for all of your arguments.

You are extremely myopic. You are convinced you have it all figured out, and you are extremely proud of yourself for supposing that you have figured it all out. You ask questions, but have no interest in answers. It's the conceit of the shallow person, we see it demonstrated on every one of your threads. You are awesome and you need us all to understand this. You should throw yourself a ticker-tape parade.

actually he is answering your question perfectly

you just don't understand it because your view of the question is from an outside perspective

I stay in shape and keep myself presentable in the off chance we get divorced. You never know when you're going back on the market.

Someone has to take the initiative and not be a fat slob. I see a lot of women taking the initiative and starting to get back in shape in their late 30's. Hitting the gym. Doing stupid barre shite, but at least they're trying.

Because they are about to leave and get back on the market that's why.

Here, I'll help you:

Point (me): People shouldn't let themselves become unhealthy just because they have increased responsibilities as they become older

Counterpoint(lsupimp): You're too young to understand. People die. Hair gets thinner. You can't stay young forever.

Counterpoint(me): I never said any of those things. You can still be healthy regardless of age

Counterpoint(lsupimp): You think you have it all figured out. People can only do the best with what they are given.

Counterpoint(me): That's all I'm asking. Do the best with what you're given. Eat healthy and stay in shape. We see this all the time with people of all ages. It's not easy but it's a sacrifice to take care of your body

Counterpoint(lsupimp): You will learn as you get older. You just don't understand because all of your threads have a similar theme. You are young and foolish

Counterpoint(me): You're not making a strong case.

Counterpoint(lsupimp): You are young and foolish!

Random person: He answered your question

Counterpoint(me): His response had nothing to do with the topic

You can thank instagram sluts and yoga pants for setting the stage for this

My bad bro, I'm typing up a long winded post that talks about how awesome you are as we speak
