Why Women Fear Being Fat

Guys,

I want to talk about why women make such a big deal about being fat or gaining weight.  Did you ever notice how they utterly freak OUT over gaining two ounces of weight?  Did you ever notice how women will fret all the time about whether or not they look fat, even if they don't?  Did you ever wonder why?

I have a theory as to why women go crazy over gaining weight: their sex appeal is ALL they have.  Modern women, in their heart of hearts, know that they have nothing else to offer a man.  They cannot cook; shoot, some women can't even boil water!  They cannot clean.  They cannot offer good companionship, because they're not good companions; if anything, they're man hating battle axes who would curse a man by being with him.  Yeah, I said it!  The modern woman curses a man by being with him!  The modern trollop, er woman, offers NOTHING to a man but her sex appeal, and that's why she freaks out over any weight gain.  For me, it's as simple as that...

A woman's power to manipulate a man comes directly from her attractiveness. Women know this and have been using this power over men for centuries.

Men, on the other hand, rarely recognize how regularly they're being manipulated by women. Instead, their ego and naïveté sends them the wrong signals, most often to their own detriment.

Unfortunately, many men come to realize (usually too late) that the target of their affections was not interested in them, but was instead only interested in draining them or their resources.

The act of fishing isn’t about the fish. It’s about making the fish think the bait is something it desires. Once the fish is hooked, after realizing that it has been deceived, it struggles to get away and fights for its life. If the hook is set properly, the fish will soon be fried.

I do agree with you about how womyn of today's society have nothing to offer to a relationship that would be truly equal, but I don't agree how they fear being fat (at least, not as much as they used to).

Witness how feminists are agitating for 'fat acceptance', and how they are trying to take the stigma out of being truly obese (for womyn ONLY, of course). And how womyn's 'fear' of being fat usually lasts ONLY until they reach thirty, or marry, or they give birth/become a single mom -- then they pack the pounds on.

I think what they truly fear most of all is AGING...because when they lose their youth, they lose their looks and sex appeal -- then they lose EVERYTHING and they know it.

I do definitely agree that today's feminism-influenced privileged princesses have NOTHING ELSE to offer for the same reasons that you mentioned on your short list -- i.e., they are unfeminine and full of hate and spite, they cannot be good companions because they have never cultivated pleasant personalities, they have no homemaking skills of any kind (they not only WON'T cook or clean, it's a safe assumption that they CAN'T -- most likely because they were never taught by their feminist mothers, or they just plain stubbornly refused to learn!), etc.

In fact, it seems that instead of making themselves desirable to any sane man, feminism-influenced womyn have done just the opposite: they have made themselves as repulsive and repugnant as possible. (You can take a bag of smelly, repulsive garbage and wrap it up in the most pretty box that you can find, and decorate it with ribbons and bows all that you like -- it doesn't change the fact that what's inside is still just a bag of smelly, repulsive garbage!)

" The modern woman curses a man by being with him!"

I second that...

Well, given all the blimps taxiing down the street they can't fear it THAT much.

You're right. A woman's only real power is sex. And she uses it to get whatever she wants. If you won't give it to her, she'll either find another sucker who will, or find another sucker to beat your ass.

It's been a while since I commented here Mark, but I'm back.

I think you're right about many women's obsession with being fat being partly because they value sex appeal above all else.

But you surely have been around the manophere enough to know that some of those fears are completely justified.

However, as a woman married to a man I am still quite enamored with, I am chiming in because I too get a little freaked out when the scale starts to tick up. And this even though I am an excellent cook, homeschool our children, and keep most things around here running smoothly while he works.

Why, you may ask? It's because I want to stay attractive to my husband and with each passing year it get a little more difficult. A more accurate description is that it gets easier to gain weight.

No, he doesn't freak out over 5 pounds but the pounds add up quick and by the time I get to 10, he's wondering what is going on.

Nevertheless, there are enough women who could care less about their weight that petty women like me who actually care about being attractive to a husband are a drop in the proverbial bucket.

I don't think women freak out only because of fat; it is in the woman's nature to care about appearances, and yes, men are very much into visual stimulation as well... so naturally, a woman who wants to attract men, or who wants to stay attractive for her husband, will care about being in the right weight range, being fit, will take care of her skin, will be vexed when grey hairs appear, etc.

Of course, there's this thin line between "care" and "obsession". We all age, men as well as women. Our bodies change with age. A woman who is secure in a loving relationship, will hopefully try and groom herself as well as she can, but she will not grow obsessed (won't go through unnecessary plastic surgery, etc, starve herself dieting, etc). I do my sit-ups, but I know my husband is also forgiving of the fact that, after two pregnancies, my abdomen is not hard and flat as it used to be.

I think it is a small number of women who really care about their weight as evidenced by the fact that the average weight of women is increasing each year. And among those women who freak about their weight, those who freak for the sole reason suggested here are another small percentage.

Most healthy women want to be attractive, regardless of their age or marital status or how many other things they have to offer as a companion, lover, wife, botanist, or welder. Weight is a significant factor in that.

Women are ridiculous when it comes to obesity

Women are just as useless at loosing weight as anything else

Instead of loosing weight by lifting weights & exercise ... they starve themselves ...

Instead of loosing weight for health & fitness, like most men ... they do it to feed their narcissism ...

All they do is exchange one form of gluttony for another ...

From shovelling food into their mouths, they goto shovelling crap into their narcissism

Its hilarious ...

The doctors have really messed people up with their low fat diet, which is absolutely the worst diet most people of European ancestry can have. In fact, it explains the general obesity in the US, along with the bankrupting medical costs.

Yet, the one diet which works the best WITHOUT HUNGER EVER, the low carb diets, there are several, well, it is easier to convert people to Christian Fundamentalism than to get them to try low carb diets. Even people who try them and find them totally successful will under pressure or laziness or mental weakness give them up.

There are several such diets. For me, with a big of hypoglycemia, Atkins has worked best. The new version of the diet is found in the book THE NEW ATKINS FOR THE NEW YOU. The Atkins Institute long after Dr. Atkins died by smashing his head on an icy sidewalk investigated why people have problems with Atkins.

The new diet is based on a minimum of vegetables and a minimum quantity of salt. The Atkins sickness as some called it was merely a sodium deficiency.

People assume another diet is just another diet that won't work any better than other stupid diets that don't work. And, it's a shame.

Here in Mexico, I have saved two lives with the diet. One, a cousin, was having 3 or 4 attacks a day of unstable angina. In 3 days on low carb he had his lavt angina attack, and with the weight loss his knees don't hurt him any more.

The other is a dovtor friend whose training told him low fat, high carb doesn't work. He watched me get healthier and healthier over 5 years, and paid no attention.

18 months ago, one night he told me, "My leg muscles hurt when I walk."

I told him, in a calm voice, "You are going to die."

He looked sick, because he knew I was correct. I told him, Time to start the diet.

It took him a month to open up his blood vessels. He now recommends low carb; high fat to all his patients. No one listens. They have been too brainwashed that fat is bad for you.

I eat over a pound of lard a week.

Let me add that the reason women get so fat, outside of not eating enough fat, is carbs not only make you fat, they induce insulin which makes you hungry again.

My wife used to ask me why I ate all the time. I told her because I was hungry all the time. My first day on low carb, the hunger was gone. I have been on it for over 5 years, lost around 35 pounds, and that is with major hypoglycemia.

Family here in rural mexico admit I am younger looking and stronger than when I came here over 10 years ago.

I second that *good quality fat* (from natural sources, unprocessed, unfiltered) is good for you. Ever since I've read "Nourishing Traditions" we eat plenty of butter, cheese, fatty meat and fish, and of course (living here in the Mediterranean, it's a staple) olive oil.

Have we gained weight in the past 3 years? Not an ounce (well, the children did, obviously!).

Fat is important in bringing forth a feeling of satiety, because it delays the emptying of the stomach (which is why people on low-fat diets often are hungry all the time). It is also a source and/or medium for fat-soluble vitamins.

I do believe a healthy person can still eat carbohydrates and be healthy, as carbohydrates were included in the diets of many traditionally healthy societies, but of course not white flour junk. But when it comes to fat, people really are brainwashed and look at every egg or slice of cheese as if it were an enemy.

(I'm an RD, by the way)

Hey Mark!

I absolutely obsess about getting fat. Everyday I'm told by our culture that I have to be sexy. To be sexy I HAVE to be thin. To get a man I need to give sex, to keep a man I need to give sex. All men ever want is sexy and sexy women. I have to look like the women in porn, and the women in the sports illustrated, and the hot models you oogle over to get a rise out of me. I need to be obsess so that I will remain as attractive as I possibly can for as long as I possibly can. As long as men are sex focused women will be fat focused. Now this is an extreme, but it's our reality. I will be obsessed with my weight until my market value is zilch and even then for me I'll probably still be obsessed about it.

Dear MarkyMark and Guys,

I wanted to thank you for the dialogue you created around the issue of women and why we go crazy over gaining weight. We do utterly freak OUT. It’s embarrassing and a shame. You really nailed it: we believe our sex appeal is all we have. Certainly, believing such a lie would and does drive us crazy.

I’m sorry that you have yet to encounter in the flesh a woman who doesn’t believe her sex appeal is ALL she has. I’m sorry that you have yet to experience the tenderness of a woman. I suspect you long for that. Maybe underneath your bitterness is anger toward the women who have failed to live up to your expectations. Who let you down. Who didn’t give you what you needed. Or perhaps made you feel that your sex appeal was all you had. Who didn’t care about who you were or what you liked or who you could be for them.

For what it’s worth, I believe you are capable of giving and receiving love. Of living a life that’s worth something. Of accomplishing something meaningful.

I say this, as a modern woman, who knows in her heart of hearts, that she has much more to offer a man. You may not believe me, but I can cook quite well, boil water effortlessly, clean thoroughly, and love deeply. I am a good companion. Am I perfect? No, I’m not. But I do listen to, encourage and support the men in my life. I have been known from time to time to make men laugh, even smile. Most of the time I am gentle, but sometimes situations call for me to speak with boldness, a boldness that I trust the man I’m conversing with can handle. Some may call it: honesty. I treat the men in my life with respect and I also respect myself. I don’t parade my body around like a piece of meat to be bought. My sex is not for sale.

And I know that I’m not an anomaly. I have some pretty amazing friends.

I hope one day, some patient, loving woman, full of goodness and grace tries to love on you and rocks your world. I hope one day you have some radical encounter with goodness and kindness that totally changes your perspective toward women.


I have hope that one day you will see that we are equally worthy.

For me, it’s as simple as that...

Anon0028,

I have found someone nice, and we're talking marriage! Can you believe it? However, she's NOT from here. Soon as we're able, we're returning to her country in South America...
