You're gonna have to provide visual examples. When you say "somewhat pudgy", that to me doesn't mean ANYTHING CLOSE to obese, but then the next option is "clearly obese".

The obese is the only one im not too much a fan of, but fucking is fucking

I have a gluttony fetish: men eating lots of food turn me on. Consequently, obese men *can* be a turn-on, if the rest of the person is attractive too. However weird that may be, just pudgy isn't enough to trigger that though, and consequently I'll prefer clearly obese men over somewhat pudgy men. That being said, I still prefer lean people, so none are "total turn-ons".

If there is any fat in the stomach, or if I cant see a six pack, I want NOTHING to do with them. If its one of those AWFUL deals where they have fat around the penis, Ill PAY YOU TO LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!!

Goddamn it's DISGUSTING!!! People are not supposed to look like this! How can you POSSIBLY think "I want to suck that!"?

I am not dense, not very picky about faces or bodies. I am a very small guy, barely work out, dont eat especially healthy, but I bike and walk around campus have a six pack. If you have any extra fat you are probbaly a gluttonous pig who doesn't get off the couch. I do not understand how it is possible to have any at all. Just do a MODERATE amount of physical activity, Jesus Christ!

I can barely read any of these responses so..

Someone clearly into eating as a sport is a disgusting turn off
Someone who has a little meat on their bones is hot

Having once been fat (5'0" 230 lbs, BMI:45) and having lost the 100 pounds (5'4" 130lbs, BMI:22) I have some empathy for fat people, but in no way do I find it attractive. I lost the weight because I became disgusted with myself.

They don't have to be ripped with a six pack or anything, though that is undeniably a plus, but nice svelte 5-10 lbs over isn't bad and can still be sexy, 10-20 I can deal with, but beyond that I feel nothing but disgust. The guy in the pic, is my perfect body type though, and I'm lucky enough to have a BF that is just like that.

As for stretch marks on skinny guys, I have them myself, and they are fading. But I find them kind of sexy, as it shows that they found the will and determination to lose weight and make themselves healthy.

What I should have said was that I don't have high standards. And its not a high standard. Any of these skinny twinks who cant lift 10 pounds at least have some abs showing cuz they're so thin. If you can't see abs it's because theyre overweight. I don't necessarily need a 6 pack although it's not that hard (took me 1 MONTH go get, just do crunches) Calories in, calories out. Any natural human society without unlimited resources to food, you would NEVER see the monstrosities we see today, or the indisdious idea that "carrying a little bit extra" or "love handles" is okay. no, it's not okay, it's unhealthy, it makes me feel like you don't give a rat's ass about your body, and it's not hot. That ridiculous idea is my #1 problem with society today.

How does this...fellow...maintain his hygiene? Avoid smelling? You would vomit if you saw the rest of him naked. Honestly. On craigslist, depressed, looking for "skinny twinks." Why doesn't he just eat less than 8,000 calories a day?

You say its them being fat like some sort of idiot
Ever notice that some thinspirational guys don't have 6 packs? And they can still work out? (Aka most twinks)
I understand its your preference but wow that sounds terribly picky to be not picky.

/men/ seems to completely ignore people who are like just normal entirely. Not exactly pudgy, not super muscular, like 10 pounds over weight.
Even the original question is asking "slight love handles, COMPLETELY OBESE"

We all know that few people want to date completely obese people. Most people are slightly over weight, even by 4-5 pounds, unless you live based on a chart that has a 5 pound range.

I feel like 2 3 about all but obese, because 9/10 when seeing an obese guy you aren't gonna start flirting.

I still rate my body at a 1. I don't quite have a ripped 6 pack (its visible at angles), but I'm not really over weight.

Oddly, I find a little bit of extra weight on a guy really sexy. I don't mean someone with extra weight all over his body, but just developing as light gut, or love-handles. I can't really explain why it's a turn-on. On the other hand, I just can't find myself attracted to a guy who is obese, or even significant overweight to a degree. I was very overweight once, but lost most of it and am working on the rest. The permenant damage can't be undone, though. I'm often ashamed to remove my clothes because of issues like stretch-marks or flab. I don't think it's possible for me to ever be ripped, regardless of the fact that I work-out every day of the week, eat very healthy and do regular cardio.

>>35010

If those were actual ranks then you'd be right. OP doesn't say rank from 1-5 (Look closely, there's 6 options there), he's saying that each number represents a different thought on each selection. It might've been less confusing to use A,B,C,D and E. So no, it doesn't have to add up to the equation (Which would also be 6*7/2=21 since there's 6 choices to rank if that were the case), it's simply place what number best describes what you think about each scenario.

>>34988

You, I think, fail to realize that not everyone has the same body type, nor they have the same level of physiological aptitude toward being thin. And by that, I mean some people simply do not have the metabolism of "normal" people. There are also emotional and psychological issues - chemical imbalances, blabla. Fact of the matter is that it is actually incredibly easy for most but incredibly hard for some to be thin. And evolutionarily biologically etc. thinking, extra weight is a normal cycle for animals which eventually sheds over the course of the year only to be built back up again for "storage" later in the year. You're just being a douche.

>>Fact of the matter is that it is actually incredibly easy for most but incredibly hard for some to be thin.

Unfortunately, this is true. I've been very overweight in the past, and although I only have to blame myself for my bad eating / exercise habbits, I only managed to lose most of it before hitting a plateau. My body just doesn't want to budge from this point, no matter how much cardio and diet I continue to put myself through. I started doing like 90 minutes of cardio a day and only eat twice a day for a couple of weeks, and not a single pound was shed. >_> The irony is, I do more hard-work and get more physical activity than probably 90% of slender guys, but then they're complaining about how lazy I am while they're kicking back with beer and pizza and I'm doing 20 laps with a stick of brocolli in my hands.

Erm. I need an picture of number 1. I can't imagine what that would look like.

I find morbidly obese guys pretty gross, but some guys who kind of have a midway between man boobs and abs are pretty hot.

i'm too shy/paranoid to post a picture of myself, but i think i fit fairly well into the #1 description. i don't look particularly overweight in the face, and my clothes usually hide it pretty well (without being baggy), but i'm pretty flabby overall, with a prominent gut. mehhhh

i'm usually not particularly attracted to overweight guys (despite being one) but there's this new dude at my work who, despite being kind of... "rotund" is the word that comes to mind... is super super hot. so i think it definitely depends on the guy.

Honestly, I think overdefined abs are a bit of a turnoff. I used to date this guy with incredibly defined abs and had a fetish for them at the time, but after we broke realized it probably had to do more with the fact that I liked him, and he had abs, than me having a natural fetish for them.

I most like muscle with a little bit of pudge. Not bear status, but somewhere between bear and otter. Makes em cuddly and strong at the same time.

Doesn't this mean most guys should be thin, since it is incredibly easy for most? Or do they just leisurely take in too many calories and don't burn enough? All I hear is some people, some people. How come, then, it's okay for nearly everyone to be overweight to some degree? It seems like everyone wants to rationalize themselves as that one guy with the hormone problem and then justify unhealthiness for the whole population. I didn't fail to realize shit.

Of course cardio doesnt do anything. Cardio doesn't burn calories, it's just an excuse for lazy overweight people to say "baaah i exercised i exercised it not working."

I'm even secretly into it a little bit AS LONG AS he still has a masculine shape. It can be extremely padded, but it has to be there.

Nothing irks me more than hearing metabolically blessed jerkoffs like you pass judgement on those oh-so-lazy and gluttonous overweight people. I get more exercise than you seem to and eat more healthfully than everyone I know and I'm *still* 25 lbs over my ideal weight.

Plenty of research demonstrates that people's bodies are programmed for a specific weight and it generally takes a lot of effort to shift that number in either direction in the long term (and indeed, a somewhat overweight person with a better diet and activity level can expect to live longer than the skinny asshole that lives on twinkies and beer).

>>Fact of the matter is that it is actually incredibly easy for /some/ but incredibly hard for many to be thin.

An guy being obese in my preferred age bracket [21-28] tells me a lot about their lifestyle and it's something that rarely clicks with mine. I don't mind a little frat boy pudge, or tall computer nerd and a little bit of a gut, but when it impedes normal activity then that's a dealbreaker.

"I get more exercise than you seem to and eat more healthfully than everyone I know and I'm *still* 25 lbs over my ideal weight. "

Well that's too bad, you obviously eat too much. If you ate less, you would not be 25 pounds overweight. You know why I do less exercise than you and weigh less? Because I ALSO EAT LESS.

"Plenty of research demonstrates that people's bodies are programmed for a specific weight and it generally takes a lot of effort to shift that number in either direction in the long term "

Oh what utter garbage. You're saying most humans are genetically programmed to be overweight? That's the stupidest bunch of bullshit I've ever heard. 2/3 of the US population is not programmed to be fat, they dont all have hormone problems, they're just fucking lazy and don't stop stuffing their faces. Thats all there is to it.

Why do you keep giving me this stupid ass bullshit about SOME people having genetics issues. The fact is MOST people in the US are overweight, and it's NOT because of anything biological.

You think people in Europe, Asia, Africa, and everywhere else are genetically programmed to be thin? Jesus Christ. It's a CULTURE issue. You don't eat right and you dont exercise enough. You don't eat right and you dont exercise enough. You don't eat right and you dont exercise enough.

In my parents' countries in South America, no one is overweight (and they are fairly wealthy countries, food access isn't an issue). If someone is overweight they are told to go on a diet, not told "a little extra baggage is hot." It's not. On my college campus, no one is overweight. Because people care about their bodies, want to have sex, and walk around. When I lived in NYC, I rarely saw overweight people my age. Becuse they cared abou their bodies and walked around. When I lived in Florida, people in trendy places downtown and at the beach were NEVER overweight.

I dont know what kind of Hicksville, alabama place you live in where everyone around you is a pig, but wherever I've lived, it's not taken for granted that people have a "slow metabolism"

>You're saying most humans are genetically programmed to be overweight?

I'm not the same person you're responding to, but I believe he's referring to somatotype and general physiological differences. An endomorphic body will store fat more easily than any other somatotype, and have more difficulty building or sustaining muscle. An endomorphic person would have to go through much more work to lose weight and build muscle, but would still be inclined to be shorter and bulkier than other somatotypes. One's constitution cannot be changed.

Somatotype isn't exactly black-and-white, though. It's really more of a scale. Different people store fat more easily than others. This really has nothing to do with culture. Anyone who is deprived of food is going to be haggard, but there are people who may practice the exact same dietary habits as you and only stand to gain weight from it.

I have no reason to lie about my weight or my dietary habits. I was very overweight once, and I only had myself to blame for it. Only by becoming active and eating healthy was I able to shed most of that excess weight -- keyword, most. Now that I've plateau'd, I'm starting to realize that no changes in dietary habit or exercise are really going to benefit me at this point. I've even desperately starved myself while excessively doing cardio and saw no benefit from it.

That's just life. The more you know.

I AM NOT DENYING THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE ENDOMORPHIC, BUT I DO NOT THINK THAT ACCOUNTS FOR 2/3 OF THE US POPULATION BEING PIGS WHILE EVERYWHERE ELSE IS FINE.

I do not think I am unreasonable for saying this. I can count on one hand the number of overweight guys I've seen at my college. I don't have high standards and am not limiting myself by excluding overweight people from my interests. Again, maybe it is different if you live in the deep south, but I do not find my standards unreasonable.

"/men/ seems to completely ignore people who are like just normal entirely. Not exactly pudgy, not super muscular, like 10 pounds over weight."

No, it may be STATISTICALLY normal in the US, but being a bible-thumping imbecile is also statistically normal. That doesn't mean it's unreasonable to want nothing to do with either group.

Think about what you said.

"just normal entirely....like 10 pounds overweight."

Your standards are your own. You don't have to justify them to anyone else. On the other hand, you are misinformed about physiology. As stated prior to your posts, there are people who work-out and exercise more extensively than you probably do, and can't shed their extra weight. I can starve myself and lose some of that weight, but the moment I start eating normally again, (and by that, I mean the same amount you eat, or less) I would gain that weight back. My body stubbornly wants me to remain at that weight.

Again -- no reason to lie about my weight or dietary habits. I will be the first to tell you that I was severely overweight because of my own bad habits; but I changed those habits, and have only been able to see some progress as a result. I can reasonably say it's no longer my fault, since I observe healthy eating habits and exercise daily. If you still wouldn't date someone in my position, that's your prerogative. I reserve the right to think you're very misinformed and can't see beyond your own circumstances, however.

some of our fellow fags in /men/ spew so much shit I can't help but respond.


>If you ate less, you would not be 25 pounds overweight.

You tard how much you eat does not directly correlate to how much weight you gain.
A person eating 2 1200 calorie meals a day will gain more weight then someone who eat 6 400 calorie ones.

>You know why I do less exercise than you and weigh less?

Do you even know why? according to your argument you don't. you likely have a faster metabolism then said poster, and may not pick up weight as quickly as some others.

>Oh what utter garbage. You're saying most humans are genetically programmed to be overweight?
well no ones genetically programmed, we don't pick and choose, genes are formed, we've nothing to do with it, and being "over weight" doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy. that's obesity fuckhead.

>The fact is MOST people in the US are overweight
HUR DA DURH DURH here comes fag assuming everyone is talking about the entire human population as opposed to a potential male, that could be anywhere, aren't you a smart one.
and so you mean to tell me, NO ONE in the US is normal sized? you mean to tell me that people aren't OVERWEIGHT and NOT FUCKING OBESE?

>You think people in Europe, Asia, Africa, and everywhere else are genetically programmed to be thin?

you fucking asshat.
and let me us facts unlike you
>Globally, there are more than 1 billion overweight adults, at least 300 million of them obese.
6,706,993,152 world population.
1 in every 6-7 people are "overweight"
meaning ANYWHERE, outside of the "ok" or "healthy" zone. even a pound.
lets define shit for you.

overweight- weighing too much or more than is considered normal, proper

obese-Well above ones normal weight. A person has traditionally been considered to be obese if they are more than 20 percent over their ideal weight. That ideal weight must take into account the person's height, age, sex, and build.

you saying theirs no one in an entire country on the planet has no obese people in it?

your post in particular is jjust so astronomically dunce that i don't wan tto continue. its alot of "i'm in the weight range, you should be too".

i'm fucking overweight, im, 5'10 and in between 26-27 on one of the charts ive posted. Get the fuck over it.

I find it interesting that you make no distinction between being overweight and being obese. Often it is helpful to understand at least some subtleties of language before engaging in polemics.

I also find it interesting that you assume I live in the United States. I don't, though I have in the past. I have lived in several countries with varying proportions of overweight people in the population.

I find it absurd that you think you have some basis on which to claim I eat more than you do. I'd be willing to bet the opposite is true.

I've gone through periods in my life where, without changing any specific dietary habits or activity levels, my weight has fluctuated by as much as thirty pounds in both directions. The amount of fat one's body decides to keep in reserve is a product of many environmental factors in addition to food intake and activity level. These can include metabolism, stress level, hormonal fluctuations, and other things.

By the way, all of our standards of "ideal" weight for a given height are based on the abstract and woefully inadequate BMI formula, which can classify a tall, muscular person as obese.

You deny that people are genetically programmed to be fat, but the truth is that facile weight gain in times of adequate access to food is an evolutionary adaptation meant to prepare for shortages that never come in a post-industrial society.

I do at least hope you will appreciate the irony when your metabolism slows down as you age and your ingrained lazy thin person habits cause you to balloon up like a doughnut in hot fat.

>>35583

I find it interesting that you make no distinction between being overweight and being obese. Sometimes it helps to gain some idea of the subtleties of the language before getting involved in polemics.

I find it interesting that you assume I live in the (Southern) United States. I do not, although I have in the past. I have lived in several countries with widely differing landscapes when it comes to the body-shape of its inhabitants.

I find it perplexing that you are so certain you eat less than I do without any evidence. I'd be willing to wager that's not true, but even if you do I doubt it's by much.

The fact of the matter is that many factors influence the body's decision to retain fat, including not only diet and exercise, but also stress levels, hormonal fluctuations, age, individual metabolism, depression, and even (apparently) the number of overweight people you see on a daily basis. I have personally, without changing dietary habits or altering activity levels, seen fluctuations in my own weight of as much as thirty pounds in both directions. There are complex factors at work here.

As many medical professionals say, if there were a truly effective weight loss programme, no one would be fat.

I do, however, take exception to your assertion that humans are not genetically encoded to be fat. Facile weight gain in periods of adequate access to food is most certainly an evolutionary adaptation that has been selected for in periods of intermittent famine. It's only in a post-industrial age of constant access to food in all seasons that such an adaptation can go awry.

I do however hope that you appreciate the irony when, as you age, your metabolism slows down and you balloon up like a doughnut in hot fat.

Thanks for responding in my absence.

Ack, sorry about the double post. Browser problems are problems.

And that's how nobody's opinion changed.

to answer your question - 2 or 3. once you get to know someone first - 4. or 6 all is relitive. nobodys perfect, and i'd rather not be around those that constantly try to be. (1) They are high maintenance and a pain to all around them.

If he isn't skinny, I'm not interested.

Plain and simple.

maybe you're just really fucking stuck up?
some of us don't have the small-fag body metabolism.

I dont care if you're technically overweight or whatever. As long as it doesnt actually show

lol so shallow i can barely believe it.

Can we not get trolled please =/

As a #4, this thread reminds me why I really need to get into shape :(

I used to be fat but I lost it when I was young so I didn't get the stretch marks.

My preferred body type is just a normal one; not too skinny, a little pudge is acceptable, bit of muscle maybe.

I don't like other body types.

>You're silly. And by silly I mean retarded.

This thread is silly, and by silly I mean retarded.

This thread needs some motivational "Fuck you and stop complaining about your issues" pictures.

>>34988
The first pic is just for you, nice and skinny, just the way you like 'em

The second one is of a man that is clinically anorexic, sorry 988, probably too fat for your tastes

The Third is of a guy just underweight, pretty sexy to most of us, but 988 probably considers him a lardass as the six pack isnt there.

the last one is the heaviest on here, and he is actually clinically overweight. I personally find him sexy as hell, but that is just me.

God damn it, it put them in reverse order...

1) 4
2) 3
3) 2

5) 4-5 depending on other factors

Nobody seems to answer number 6.

Kinda the same

A very little amount of fat wouldn't bother me too much, and I don't give a shit about how in shape my friends are or condemn fat people in any way, they just don't attract me. In a partner I look for skinny. I am skinny and I want skinny. It's simple.

>>35077
yeah im in the same boat, i have stretch marks on my knees thighs ect cause i grew really fast

thin is not = healthy. just wanted to point that out.

furthermore guys aren't all that well sculpted just because they are thin. me, I like average.

Where did #5 go?

Pretty much 1 all around. Fat is gross. I said it.

I'm a fat fuck, I don't get to be picky.

I'm fit and lean, and I would like my partner to at least be fit. He can be built a lot bigger than me, but fat is mostly a no-go. If he's really cute and awesome, not being 100% lean is OK of course. I won't deny being superficial :/

i really like personality than looks, being a good person is more important than being thin. Also, most thin gay guys just lack a real personality. Also, most famous twink; Chris Crocker.

chris crocker is not a twink. have you seen his face? come on.

What does face have to do with labels for body types?

so many people seem to think twink just means normal weight all the way down to concentration camp status, but i dont' use it that way. i usually mean a cute, slender, young-looking guy. chris crocker is not cute -- he looks like a scary monster, or a miserable transsexual -- and he is not young-looking. a quick google search will remind you of this.

concentration camp survivors and my grandpa are thin too, but I'm not calling them twinks JUST because they have thin bodies. that heroin addict on the corner is lim but he's not a twink. Twinks are desireable and slender and fuckable; anorexic guys with bones showing around the eyes and veins popping all over the 2-inch wrists and missing teeth are not.

Chrish Crocker speaks like he has shit in his mouth. Alwaysh shaying "sh" inshtead of "s."

1-5
2-5

I think Chris Crocker is kinda hot actually, but whatever.

I do tend to like skinny or at least slim.

Fat kills it for me, but so does the whole super buff worked-out look, actually.

As far as fat people, I'm not interested in the faux-moralistic dogpiling of people over it that seems to afflict all discussion sites. People will find any absurd excuse to be self-righteously outraged on the internet, and to feel somehow superior.

But I typically just don't find it attractive, either, and I'm not about to go to bed with anyone I don't feel physically attracted to.

>>35652
Ok, as a European I guess you might be interested in my opinion as well.
Being slightly overweight is completely normal, and while I do agree that a lot of the people in this thread seem to be exaggerating the numbers, it's a fact that for a lot of people, being skinny is anything but easy. For instance, my BMI is 22 and I have to work my ass off to keep it that way, where as I've got friends who'll eat at Burger King daily without wrking out who are more ripped than i could ever be.
I've also got friends who are clearly overweight even though they're vegetarians, don't watch TV, don't drink or smoke or anything. It's weird but shit happens.

>I've also got friends who are clearly overweight even though they're vegetarians, don't watch TV, don't drink or smoke or anything. It's weird but shit happens.

*sigh* This describes me. I fit all of those qualities. I'm vegetarian, never touch any kind of soda or junk-food, exercise and work-out regularly, never watch TV and am very active in my daily routine. Still overweight.

>>38997
Aw, poor guy! Maybe try cutting down on dairy and carbs and increasing fresh veggies, fruits, and juice?

>Maybe try cutting down on dairy and carbs and increasing fresh veggies, fruits, and juice?

The only dairy I have is fat-free cottage cheese. (cottage-cheese salad) I substitute other dairy products with rice milk and almond milk. (I'm lactose-intolerant, but cottage-cheese doesn't bother me) I already eat a lot of veggies, and the occassional apple and banana. I don't touch any pastas or breads.

>>39018
ouch... I guess you just have to continue enjoying your healthy lifestyle despite not being at exactly the weight you want. or use drugs like adderall. :(

or, wait... are you just overweight, or is your body fat percentage too high? because a lot of people, especially guys with a fair amount of dense muscle, are "overweight" if you just go by height and weight, but their body fat levels are well down below the healthy threshold, and they look and feel great and are perfectly healthy.

>or, wait... are you just overweight

I am overweight, unfortunately. Cellulite, excess skin, stretch-marks, flab, love-handles... All that. When I look in the mirror, I feel like I've done permenant damage to my body.

active in your "daily routine" will not make you lose weight

if you are MAINTAINING your weight at your "daily routine" and whatever level of exercise you're doing --- GUESS what you need to do.

Do you SWEAT with a rapid heartbeat when you exercising? Walking an hour will burn the equivalent calories of a goddamn COOKIE. I'm sick of hearing people say how they exercise enough -- no, they dont burn enough calories when they do aerobics.

Youre a vegetarian but you might be still tking in too many CALORIES. How could you "not touch" breads? Something is seriously wrong with your diet if you're not getting your food groups. a hormone issue is unlikely and the fact that you don't eat bread shows you dont know how to eat properly. If youre so upset about yourself, see a fitness coach or nutritionist or doctor to determine what you can do to improve yourself but atm youre just whining.

I'm not particularly attracted to skinny twink types, either.
I'm about 5'7, and have ranged from 165 down to 120 (when my friend started calling me Kate Moss). I've become happy keeping myself about 140. A little muscle tone, and a touch of a belly, which is pretty much what I find most attractive in other guys.

>>39729

One pound of fat has about 3500 kcal (Calories) of potential energy. So, in order to lose 1lb of fat you must expend 3500 Calories more than you take in in order to lose 1 lb. (so about 7700 per kilo).
Of course that doesn't reflect the other factors that go into weight loss, such as water loss and muscle gain. Muscle is far more dense than fat, so if you base your exercise/diet routine on the scale, you can be deceived by your lack of progress, when really, you've just been adding muscle mass as the fat is burnt.

>>40723
3500 kCal per lb

so how much does my body burn to maintain 98.6F? I live in the Georgia/Carolina area, so the weather is typically between 75-95 in the Summer and 35-55 in the Winter (obviously somewhere in the middle at all other times). I know that people in tropical climates require less fuel intake than people in arctic climates... but I can do my own math on this using my own weight/climate factors. What I would like to know is how many kCal of nutritional intake is used to get 1 cKal of endothermic output... I know it can't be exactly 1:1 because nothing ever has perfect efficiency, in fact most things have lousy efficiency constants.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but those of us with some Eastern European blood (Pols, Huns, etc) are generally built with bigger frames. The reason why you're smaller is, as you state, because of your heritage.

Think about it like this: desert animals don't really have too much fur, right? Generally, they don't have need of any, since it would be a hindrance. They also don't build up a layer of blubber or need that much food to survive.

On the other side of the spectrum, there's the polar bear-- hairy, has a thick layers of fat, and consumes more. Hmmmm... animals from warmer climates have greater amounts of body fat than those from warmer ones... and humans are an animal...

Also, there are vast;y different cultures between wherever you live and the rest of the world. Have you ever eaten goulash? Chicken paprika? Thanksgiving dinner? These are all meals, part of my culture, a culture that is different from yours.

Anyway, food tastes good. Stop being such sissy and eat up.

Oh and quit acting all a eugenicist up in this beezy, cuz Hitler would totally concentrate you.

no, my BMI is normal because

a)I eat a certain amount of calories per day
b) I burn a certain amount of calories per day

>>40922

You don't know what your talking about, desert animals have plenty of fur. Havalinas, Coyotes, and Rabbits are a few examples of common desert animals that have thick hair.

>>40922

What about Africans, who are clearly taller and bigger built?
