gently caress I'm serious posting again

Isn't this a textbook case of gendered expectations? Like the dude brought the chick back to the room now she's obligated to gently caress him. Sort of regardless of the spandex double standard(lol), as a person she totally has a right to say no thanks. You can argue tact, but I don't think you can knock someone for backing out of the no pants dance.

The spandex thing is a preference issue. If you feel cheated by someone wearing it, don't gently caress, go home and don't see them again. That should be totally fine by any sort of reasonable person standard. If the dude with a gunt wants to rock swamp rear end and a compression unitard, that's fine. But he shouldn't expect surprise when his partners have to dig for the d and aren't into it

If you need more help than a run around the block... Then you absolutely need to start running around the block. Spanx is nothing more than a lie. Eat healthy, limit your calories (can find calorie calculators online for what you should intake given your age/weight/frequency of exercise), and exercise at least a few times a week.

People always think it's a crazy amount of hard work, but it's really just a regiment with (from my perspective) the only downside feeling repetitive every now and then. I personally think it's a crazier amount of hard work to wear a body suit and essentially lie to a date, then have to go through the uncomfortable matter of trying to 'ignore it' when you take it off, or to try to explain it, while seeing the disappointment in their face.

Do the calorie apps tell you how much weight to lose or is that just something people know (i do not know how much to lose in relation to inches on my body etc)

So you would turn away a Spanx wearer??

It depends on how deceptive the lie is. I'm fit and looking for a fit girl. So if she had an extra 10 pounds but we got along well, I wouldn't turn her away. I'm a more direct person though so I would probably want to have a talk about how the spanx are a little misleading.

Now if she has inches of fat and a gut when it did not appear before, yes, I absolutely would... because to me that is "false advertising" to an extent greater than putting on some blush, concealer, etc. For me, I have to be attracted to someone I want to be with / sleep with. You can wear spanx all day, but the moment you take them off it's over because I more than likely won't be attracted to you physically. There's nothing rude/mean/etc about it. It just is what it is. I know the type I'm attracted to, which is why I seek fit looking girls, which makes the spanx lie even more amplified if you're actually rather overweight.

But what is overweight anyway? I fit into small sized clothes but only if i put on spanx first to get everything shifted around so I can zip them etc.

They have an option you can select for extreme weight loss, maintaining your current weight, etc.

***Note that you should NOT go under the extreme weight loss amount as this will send your body in to starvation mode when it doesn't get enough calories. Thus, shutting down your metabolism and holding the calories you do have (i.e. not losing any weight).

This varies from person to person. I consider someone to just have a few extra if they don't have a flat stomach, which again is fine if I like you. Now I consider someone overweight if they have what I would consider a fairly large gut, double chin, bigger arms or legs than me, etc.

It's really hard to quantify because bodies come in all shapes and sizes.

It really isn't. Everyone says that about the whole idea of losing weight. OMG I have to count calories??? OMG I have to look something up? But these are things you literally do one time, and then you 'know.' For example, I've only ever ONE time looked at the label for my bread. From then on for the rest of my life I know 2 slices of regular bread are 160 calories. They're things you just pick up while you're doing them, not some crazy research assignment.

...At the end of the day it's what you want more. Do you really want to be healthy (most important), fit, and the most attractive you? Or do you want to continue hating what you see in the mirror so much that it drives you to wear something to make you feel better about your own body?

The even bigger lie, than to someone you're dating, is the lie you're feeding yourself.

gently caress I'm serious posting again

Isn't this a textbook case of gendered expectations? Like the dude brought the chick back to the room now she's obligated to gently caress him. Sort of regardless of the spandex double standard(lol), as a person she totally has a right to say no thanks. You can argue tact, but I don't think you can knock someone for backing out of the no pants dance.

The spandex thing is a preference issue. If you feel cheated by someone wearing it, don't gently caress, go home and don't see them again. That should be totally fine by any sort of reasonable person standard. If the dude with a gunt wants to rock swamp rear end and a compression unitard, that's fine. But he shouldn't expect surprise when his partners have to dig for the d and aren't into it

I didnt read this thread but when I scrolled back to the top to click on GBS I noticed the "serious posting" and so I read your post

I'll dissect it piece by piece despite not knowing any context

1) Isn't this a textbook case of gendered expectations? Like the dude brought the chick back to the room now she's obligated to gently caress him.

lol what

2) Sort of regardless of the spandex double standard(lol), as a person she totally has a right to say no thanks. You can argue tact, but I don't think you can knock someone for backing out of the no pants dance.

hmmm once you go to someones room under the pretense to gently caress them maybe you shoudl gently caress ? lol even if there are spanx perhaps you should pity gently caress. also keep in mind condoms are rude

3) The spandex thing is a preference issue. If you feel cheated by someone wearing it, don't gently caress, go home and don't see them again. That should be totally fine by any sort of reasonable person standard. If the dude with a gunt wants to rock swamp rear end and a compression unitard, that's fine. But he shouldn't expect surprise when his partners have to dig for the d and aren't into it

the bold part is NOT fine, mostly because it isnt fine.

the rest of it leads me to believe someone is shaming the OP for not loving this dude or leading him on or something and thats really dumb lol so I think you took non serious posts as serious posts and made your serious reply to nothing gj

anyways ttyl
