Happy Hump Day!
Speaking of humping...today I came across this entertaining article, "Why I Love Getting to Grips With a Fat Man." Its female author writes all about why she loves fat guys, including the one with whom she is currently sleeping. She claims fat guys are funnier, more genuine, better cuddlers and better in bed.
"There is something comforting about being with a man who has heavier thighs than I do, considerable love handles and breasts only marginally smaller than mine," she writes.
Hmmm.
Anyway, the piece seems to have attracted considerable attention online, from both fans and critics. While some people praise the author for loving her man for the way he is, others question her stance...saying she's embracing unhealthy behavior.
"Loving him does not mean you have to embrace unhealthy behavior and attitudes, including the slow suicide of overeating and underexercising," one critic writes.
I think it's funny that the article -- maybe initially designed as a humorous relationship piece -- really draws on some serious social issues.
When I've dated guys who have wanted to diet, I've always discouraged them from doing so, telling them I love their body the way it is.
Granted, none of them were obese...but still, where do you draw the line between accepting somebody for who they are and encouraging unhealthy behavior?
Have you ever had to tell a partner he or she needs to lose weight? If so, how did it turn out?
