To hope this guy's metabolism falls off a cliff?

[squashedalmondcroissant]

Friend of a friend on FB.

Wrote a bit long post (including topless photos of himself) to say how 'he will never have a 'dad bod'' and how it really isn't hard to have/get/keep a gorgeous figure and be in shape and if you don't then you are essentially just lazy and should put more effort in to your body, no matter your life circumstances.

Said man is, to be fair, absolutely gorgeous, with a 6 pack, full head of hair etc. He's also young and single.

Aibu to hope this arrogant twat suffers from a serious case of 'middle age spread' and has to eat a large slice of humble pie when life eventually happens to him and he realises that actually it IS that hard, especially when you aren't blessed with natural good looks?!

There will be (far better, kinder) people who will tell you comparison is the thief of joy etc but I agree, I'd be secretly wishing a receding hairline and a middle aged paunch on him 😂

He's not in a position to comment if he isn't a dad or of dad age so it's not worth your time thinking about anyway!

Oh his poor wife will be on here in 5 years complaining he insists on going to the gym for 2 hours after work every night and she never gets a break from the baby because “she knew fitness was important to me when we got together.”

I wouldn't wish long term chronic illness on anybody but it doesn't half impact your ability to stay fit n slim.

Maybe if he got an injury and wasn't able to work out for a while it might change his perspective a bit. It's a lot harder when your body won't do what your mind wants to do.

I'd just consign him to the "twat" bin in my head and ignore.

A bloke that that is single for a reason! No room for anyone but himself and his ego in his life.

I wouldn't be bothered one way or the other.

How tediously self absorbed & wrong

Ive a friend like this, is a personal trainer and is in great shape but got an injury and couldn't train much and very quickly put 2 stone on. She is now much more forgiving of those of us who now find it much harder to keep in shape!

(I also had this mindset even after my kids because I snapped back quickly..however..hitting 30, lockdown and trying to work full time with 2 young children has meant I've neglected myself a bit and I now totally get it!).

Take with a pinch of salt!

Also we all secretly love a dad bod…… oh…. Maybe just me then….. gets coat.

What's that joke about such and such action movie grossed x million so no one likes a dad bod and the comeback is "well shriek grossed x million" (which is much more)

🤣. Yeah- maybe I’m just not too fussy- I mean Hugh Jackman is hot but if he had a dad bod I still definitely would.

Probably not even a photo of him - sad little bloke somewhere typing away in slacks and a hand knitted cardi that his mum made him.
With biscuit crumbs on said cardi.

Well if his body is so great, it's time he did some work on his empathy, compassion and personality.
It's not difficult.......

Maybe just save the post and let it resurface as a memory in 10 years - play the long game, so to speak.
Or just forgive his youthful naivety if he has other redeeming features.

There's a very good chance that he'll start to lose his hair in the next ten years - sooner if he's also fond of adding a T cycle to 'supplementation'. There's also the multiple opportunities for sustaining joint and tendon injuries and, if he doesn't immediately hugely decrease the amount he eats (as he is likely to also go on about how many thousands of calories he needs to sustain his body), he will very quickly lose strength, fitness and the ability to see his abdominal muscles.

He's also at risk of osteoporosis from maintaining a very low body fat composition, as well as osteoarthritis.

Very few men who have their entire self worth tied up with being bigger, fitter and stronger than other men remain truly fit and healthy into middle age. He may well learn the meaning of hubris in time.

@ThinWomansBrain it definitely is him, I've seen him in person so I know what he looks like and he is very good looking but his personality is awful!

Baffles me how someone can be so tone deaf and blind to the fact that there are dozens of reasons why someone might struggle with their weight and health, to ignore all of those and then boast about how amazing you are for doing better is just 🤢

As a general rule, I think people don't normally make such a big deal of things that come easily to them so the laddie doth protest too much.

He sounds absolutely awful.

So he’s in shape. He’s still a complete bellend. I know which I’d rather be.

I’d think “good for you” and move on.

Maybe he’s trying to be motivational but it’s coming across badly - maybe it’s his “USP” and he’s going to start pushing his personal training business or whatever on people. The fact is it IS very hard to keep a mega-fit body and only eat healthy, nutritious food. So personally I kind of admire anyone who has that level of discipline.

The truth is we could all be super fit and healthy if we really wanted it. But the reality is most of us can’t be arsed.

Me included!

He might look like a hot hunk but I bet hes got no personality. Probably too busy admiring his physique in mirrors.
Give me a slightly squishy bellied balding guy with a great personality any day!!

YABU only if you are his Facebook friend. 😁 I’m cringing for him for doing this without a bit of irony or sarcasm. Fair enough be proud of what you’ve achieved but there’s no need to put others down with “dad bods”. Each to their own, I guess - but I’d imagine his following took a hit that day… Social media and how it affects self-esteem, dopamine etc. is fascinating but also so dangerous.

First paragraph is all you need to dismiss him as not worth your headspace. I'm at that stage in life where I go to more funerals than weddings. You learn a lot about what is really valued in people listening to their friends and family reminiscing about them once they've passed away. I've heard people described with fondness as having been kind, humble, wise, funny, generous etc etc etc. I've also heard one or two being described in less favourable ways. Never heard much at all said about a deceased's physique though. I reckon that's because in the grand scheme of things very few people actually care tuppence about what shape somebody else's body is and a lean/fit body does not compensate for being dislikeable, nor does a less-than-perfect body reduce the value of a friend who is a thoroughly decent human being.

He's single(despite being very attractive), has an awful personality and spends his time preaching on FB. I can see why it comes easy to him, with nothing better to do and putting himself first(since he doesn't have anyone else).
