Why are men okay with getting fat as they age?

[SeveroDrgnfli]

I'm seeing a lot of classmates after ten years and they're all fat and getting fatter.

Idgaf about your job or your partner. Putting your health behind your money is odd to me. I weigh myself everyday and I work out twice a day.

I don't do it to look good. I do it because being healthy is a great feeling.


I understand some people are fat people. They've been fat forever. That makes more sense to me. This thread isn't about them.

This thread is about dudes who let themselves go.

I'm going to be brutally honest with you. You've lost your alpha male status because you're soft now. You know what it is, you know how we talk about the unfit, that's you now.

It's worse because you know better. You can't go from fit to fat and still act like you're that dude. You're lumpy now. Embrace that shyt.

Only exception I'll make is for football players. They can carry fat and convert it to muscle hella fast. Football players are incredible athletes.

Hormone levels decrease as men age and that means no energy to do shyt. So instead of using willpower to push themselves they let themselves go

it's mind vs matter.

Yes, your testosterone decreases as you get older, but same time, you can will yourself mentally to get in shape.

And working out helps to keep testosterone flowing somewhat.

Are you a female?

If not...why do you care about other men getting fat?

Unless you want to kick whip cream off of their muscular bodies

This is true.

But Everyman should be fit/healthy. You never know when you can get tested.

America is the ground zero of

I've seen babies and house pets that need flat tops

Its due to a variety of reasons:

Metabolism decreases as u get older
Fat genes surfing up...there are some skinny and avg built folks who have fat genes and they can show up more when u get older and exercise less...whereas some have genes and will stay skinny no matter how much they work out or eat...they may get a small belly from drinking or overeating but that's it
STRESS...men well heterosexual men typically have kids and get married. Getting married to a woman who isn't helping u financially can be stressful because u have to be the sole provider and may have to work 2 jobs. Less time to work out and plan to eat right...easier to grab fast food.
Lack of energy
High % of obesity in America PERIOD. Too many overweight and obese folks in this country. This will lower motivation for others to stay fit because they feel its a lower priority and it doesn't stop folks from pulling people. Fat dudes can get women and plenty of big girls stay with a man.
Diet...American diet has too much processed food, fat, calories, sodium, saturated fat, lack of vitamins, too many empty carbs, etc. That will catch up with some when they get older.
Alcohol and Substances....when you drink too much at a party or club, they usually have bar food to suck up the alcohol and a lot of that is fried...the alcohol and fried food isn't a good combo for ur belly and body.
