    Guys I know whoever posted this a nut but as an extremely hairy overweight man reading through this comment section was kind of depressing in that it made me feel like my body makes others perceived me to be some invel loser merely because of those factors. I get this guy is being a homophobic douche but damn could we tone it down with body shaming. I swear people here pretend to care about that shit until a"gamer" comes along. Staying in shape is hard. Please don’t make your points aboutincels need to groom themselves by bashing their bodies

      I’m sorry, pal. There’s no need to shame physical appearances. I was overweight and unhealthy most of the last few years. We are set up to fail with our health in this society. I know it’s a huge struggle. Hang in there.

          The big thing to me I think are the portions. They are insane. I cut back on my portions and that allowed me to drop like 20lbs with no other changes. I’m not exaggerating, portions in America are at least 3 times what they should be.

            Yeah that’s a big part of it to. I was able to live in a walkable place for 6 months with much smaller portions sizes than here. I I lost 30 lbs over six months without consciously doing anything different.

              I try to go on a walk every day too. It’s almost like meditation to me (when I’m not listening to Marxist podcasts). It’s helped a lot. Just getting in movement when you can helps a lot.

              Edit: not trying to give unsolicited advice, I’ve just found that making some minor changes can have a positive effect on your mold and health.

      Big hairy guys are fun don’t let it get to you. Yes the overweight ones too. Almost everyone I know would pick that over those enormous bodybuilding guys.

          I mean that too, there’s like a certain person who has a “type” for those guys and they’ll go after them exclusively but otherwise I have only seen it turn off people. There’s definitely a lot of people that have a type for the overweight big hairy guys but also they’re just not particularly disliked either if clean and nice. Probably too much info? I dunno here on these topics and I’m running on basically no sleep right now looool smoothskin

            Yeah yeah I get you. Honestly I was feeling a little lonely before I saw this thread so I guess it got to me more. (Not to excuse body shaming) I know I’m sexy AF comfy-cool
