Why don't men bloat?

LisaKyle11

i am sure they DO.... they just, for the most part, don't really give a sh$t. my husband will eat like there's no tomorrow, jump on the scale and see that he gained 5-10 pounds in a month or so, and then move on. he then tends to say, 'eh i'll just make sure i work out in the yard more'. then not another word or complaint about it at all. such a different species!

I bloat below the waist for about 5 minutes right before I go to bed.

Best 5 minutes of my life...

Not if you want a career in politics, man.

Simply put we don't obsess about it. If it happens oh well we really won't notice. Ask any guy when's the last time you felt bloated and they'll say "wtf huh". Ask a female and she'll tell you today,last week, TOM, or whenever the last time was.

I think its because men don't really freak out about it as much as women do.

This.

Just be a college sports coach then and you'll be good.

Val Kilmer was GORGEOUS when he was young and fit. So sad he's all cushy now.

EXACTLY. We gain 1/2 pound and go nuts. WHY WHY WHY ??? We're on the scale 2-3 times a day. Most men don't give a rip - they get dressed...if it fits, fine.... if not, oh well. Men DO care - it just doens't rule their lives. AND - they DON"T talk about it for hours. We women can talk for hours about weight, food, clothes etc.

If I eat something with high sodium, I'll be 2lbs heavier the next day.

OMG - I could just cry. Apparently men do get bloated. lol
I LOVE Val Kilmer - he's MY huckleberry! Not to mention I loved him in - aw crap - the one in the 1500'ds - his wife played in the movie. The little people (the Daikini's) trying to save the baby. DANG - hate it when I forget a name.

OMGosh - I laughed out loud reading your post. Good one. 5 minutes? Almost like Minute Rice.

We definetly bloat and we vent to ourselves about small personal issues like this. Its like bathroom functions, we don't say "Oops I ruined my underwear cause I was so gassy and now its stained."

We throw them away if a hot woman at the laundromat is washing our clothes OR
We hand them to our wife without saying a word knowing that shell be grossed out and secretly thats funny to us. Even when our wife is way hotter than the laundrymat girl we threw them away for.

I get pissed at myself if Ibloat from my sodium or just because I have a time of the month cycle that lags a day or two behind my wifes. I dont have a menstral cycle but I have a moodiness cycle. I dont think its triggered by her PMS or moodiness, I think My neanderthal brain smells the hormonal change somehow (gross I know) even from a distance and responds.

I think something like that makes girls who live together cycle together. But I bloat too then. I can watch my weight loss graph and tell Im putting on water weight between weigh ins, and have it fgured out when I shouldnt weigh in because I just know that every 8 days I drop all my water weight, and during her TOM I will gain and go up, so I just expect it and ignore it.

My hubby has never really mentioned anything about bloating, but he definitely has a "cycle" that follows my cycle. Don't really know what you would call it, but he seriously gets cravings when I'm on my TOM just like I do.
