I for one appreciate a carefully crafted thread turn

Shhhh, we're not quite at derail status yet. Wait for it....wait for it

The anticipation is killing me...

Damnit, niner ruined it. Might be out of luck.

Awesome incentive, you can use it to buy the new wardrobe you'll surely need! Good luck!

So if you lose 42 lbs, you get over $1000??? Get at it girl.

My guess is Jerry is eating at a deficit and is clinging on to the hope that he actually is gaining muscle while on said deficit. All the while, the reason why he believes this is because his muscles are becoming easier to SEE because he is losing FAT on the DEFICIT.

i do see where i quoted the wrong person and for that i apologize but she did still say

Clearly. And the fact that I've been stuffing my face and eating over maintenance since September in an effort to put on a teensy bit of muscle....well, clearly I've been wasting my time amirite?

but no mention if she was doing any exercise. sorry i dont profile creep on every single person on this site. i have more important things like misquoting people.

and no, i do not believe anything you attributed to me. im eating a deficit to lose weight. im a fairly big guy as it is (broad shoulders and all). could care less about how much i bench or how my muscles look

That's fine, I would still appreciate if you would stop spreading misinformation about muscle gain and calorie deficit. Clearly we have put more thought into building muscle than you have, and as such we know the reality of it.

yes, clearly you have (note sarcasm)

if you could see me youd see me doing a golf clap

Whatever happened to the good ole fashion way of yelling at your partner and threatening to leave if they don't lose weight?

who in the hell is anyone to judge how to motivate someone. everyone is different in what they respond to. if she feels she will be motivated more to keep on track by a promise her husband made then so be it. and while most marriages the money is equal im getting the feeling the money he pays her is hers to do with as she wishes, not something that they have to sit down and figure out finances to see if it is feasible.

and for the record, all men pay for sex. just not all transactions are of the monetary persuasion

umm...NO

Ummm, yes men do pay for sex. You go out on dates and the man pays, he is paying for what he is going to get at some point later.

Marriage is the oldest form of prostitution.

If my husband made me this offer I would think he was implying rescinding the regular cash flow he provides me with and would feel like I was being grounded for being fat. And then having to earn back a fraction of my regular spends? Heck no.

This is very irrational and immature thinking.

I am glad my husband and I have our own bank accounts and only a joint account for household bills and necessities.

Good grief, the level of sensitivity shown by women is immature and rather pathetic.

Come, join us in 2014 where women often pay for dates and adding a teabag to hot water doesn't change the water's chemistry.

Maybe that's what men are paying for ...

So if I make more money than my husband that means HE's the prostitute, right?

:noway:

just because he is paying for the meal, does not mean he is paying for sex.
you do all men a discredit when you make a statement like that.

When I treat my kids to dairy queen... am I paying them to behave? no - I'm paying for a treat for them to show them that I care for them and am appreciating them right now. I am showing them that I love spending time with them. I'm not buying their affection.

If I go out on a date, and I pay, I'm not paying for future sex. I'm saying "hey, I like you and I value the time we spend together... here, you take it easy and let me treat". I am assuming that the reverse would be true.

If sex happens, it's because we both want it. Not because it's an owed responsibility because he 'paid for it'.

Jeeze.

I was going to Google Image Teabag, and post some kind of image. Then, I thought better of it.

Would be nice to see this thread derail in some direction, and stick to it. Anything but the original intent.
