I agree with you on all counts except for the feeding issue. That might be the case in your part of the US, but in mine... complete opposite. The gals need to lay of the foods (maybe for a few weeks even). Seems like there are 15 seriously overweight girls to every 1 normal or 3 undersized/skinny.
Thanks god I've found a keeper that is 'normal'. I couldn't bare to be on the hunt again with the selection on todays menu.
As for the cell phone thing. Like I mentioned before, you're right on!

Meh, maybe it is a California thing. I grew up in Indiana, and spent a good deal of my formative years working on farms in the summer.
My wife is on about needing to lose weight. Hell, it took me three years to learn to make a sandwich for her (when we first got together, I'd make a sandwich for lunch for her - and it took her 2-3 days to eat it! It would take me about five minutes...) So, I've explained it thusly: 1) If you want to lose weight for you, go ahead. If you want to lose weight for me, it's not necessary. 2) If you insist on losing weight, fine. Don't lose your
shape, as I'm quite fond of it! (overweight, yes. Obese, certainly not!)
Besides, at 6'3" and 265#, it's not like I've got room to complain - I could stand to drop about 15# myself (my doctor thinks I need to lose more. I don't. 240-250# is a comfortable weight for me. Fighting weight ran about 275#, and peaked at 282#! Took me three years to convince my last doctor that I don't look good at "ideal" weight - and now I've got to start over again. This one's younger then I am - so I get to teach him all about "normal variation" and even "abnormal variation" - like how most people get wiped out on
one Vicodin or Tylenol IV, while I can take four and wash them down with booze. It takes the edge off, and saves on painkillers. Yes, I know - everyone else has told me I shouldn't do it, either.)
Sad to say, the "California mentality" is spreading, and we're getting girls all over trying to be something they're not, or "chasing the banner" of whatever Madison Avenue thinks is "ideal." Spit. Shucks and other comments.
Gawd save me from admen - most of them are just as dumb as the adverts they put on TV (which are, frankly, rubbish. I'm honestly not sure which is dumber - the adverts or the programmes.)
I don't dig on "fat" - but I don't groove "anorexic" either. The "ideal" that girls are chasing just doesn't look healthy to me.
It is amusing to see their reactions to me having lunch on campus, tho. I'd eat more if it didn't cost so damn much! Hey, I'm a big guy, and I didn't get this way by accident!

jk, but ya i heard that nearly half of american's have some sorta myspace/facebook type thing, kinda crazy.
