More Women Than Men

Shizzman

well as a guy who has asked a few questions on MFP, I usually dont get many responces. which is discouraging.

I have posted about different workouts and asked for peoples thoughts but hardly ever get any feed back. i have had maybe two or three questions actually answered when opening up a topic.

I do agree that women have a lot of pressure on them, weither that be from men, other women, or themselves. they are held to a standard that is set far too high.

I have noticed that when a guy posts there aren't as many responses. Perhaps that is because women don't feel comfortable giving advice to a guy? Or don't feel their knowledge applies? And as others have said, guys just aren't as chatty. Though I tend to ramble on and on when people send me questions as private messages. I get carried away.

I do agree as guy we seem to get less replies and it often requires bumps to get a reply. And I can see what you mean about not feeling comfortable to give advice when a guy asks, but with how many folks there on here that seem to be "experts" I wonder how much that alone is the case...

Just put the word "boobies" in the title. People will flock.

That sounds like something testable! Shall we perform experiments on this idea and see what happens?

. I know I'll never look like I want to look b/c I can't see improvements. I keep working hard and have lost weight, but when I look in the mirror I see a big fat manly looking plain woman. No amount of positive feedback seems to help with that.
We are our own worst enemies. IMO.

Sorry for the blabbering rant.

You'd be surprised what hard work and determination will get you. And you're current weight loss is outstanding!

Oh and you're husband should probably just watch his diet. Unfortunately, that is not what most guys want to hear. haha

Thanks.

Yeah, he knows he has to adjust his diet. He has food wise, somewhat, but what really gets him is the alcohol. He likes his liquor, which is straight sugar. He works construction so he thinks he burns a lot of calories doing that, but I tell him that's not cardiovascular exercise so it isn't the same. Of course, I don't know what I am talking about so.....
