My wife and I have been watching a few of the "reality" TV shows about weight loss, and I have some concerns about the evident side effects of weight loss for men. I am down 50+ lbs so far, and just afraid of the side effects and not sure when they will start or if they impact 100% of men.

The primary side effects I worry about are:
sudden urge to purchase "Affliction" Tee shirts
only able to grow pencil thin beards
all body hair falls off.

Note: i have a dear friend that wears those Affliction shirts, but he is a musician so I cut him some slack. I guess I am just of the mindset that guys should not wear "BeDazzled" tee shirts or pants (unless they are a musician or a big fan of Broadway musicals).

Does medical science have any insight into why chest and leg hair seems to fall off?

    The only side effect I can see, is being thought of as a trophy wife... and I don't really see a downside to that... :wink:

    I thought you had to go to one of those big fancy churches to wear that stuff, never associated it with weight loss.

    You'd think it would grow IN to compensate for the loss of warmth from fat loss.

    I swear if all my body hair fell off I would lose 10lbs right there. Whoooohooooo, I know TMI
    BTW what is an "Affliction" T-shirt, never heard of it, but i have been rocking a pencil beard since the late 80's darn it. I will never go out of style. LMAO

    Everything is ok, as long as you don't buy a pair of True Religion jeans to wear with your brand new Affliction t shirt.

    And, ditch the Ed Hardy cologne, suede shoes, and monogramed lanyard for your keys.
