Discussion: The Real Reason Gay Men Don't Get Fat - Page 5

EdgeOfAddiction

The ideology of this divide within the gay community is so true, especially in more contemporary cities like NYC. Gross but inevitable. *resists eating for the rest of the day*

I've seen a lot of overweight gay men... I'm underweight but I literally can't gain weight I've tried many times

I guess I just subconsciously don't wanna end up alone

I guess I would fall under average physique. I thirst over different body types, including the ripped gym queens, but I still like how I look. If I had an ideal body shape it would be thick with a little bit of muscle. Google 'Louis Smith fat', the good sis was crucified by the media even though he still looked bomb af and succulent.

What is it with Gawker and their messy attitude towards gays lately? I haven't seen this level of foolery since Perez Hilton. First they out Taylor for page views and now they're generalizing gays as mindless sex obsessed zombies. There might be some truth to what this article is saying but the way this was written was so overdramatic lmfao.

I died when it got to this part:

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: There are countless committed gay couples out there who like to either play on the side or invite guest stars into their beds. And you're not going to get any A-list guest stars if you're giving D-list torso with a four-star gut. Yes, gay men go to the gym to stay competitive, but since the man-eating marathon doesn't end after marriage, they just keep on competing and competing until death do they part.

Like...relax, Gossip Girl.

I dated guys of all sorts of body types and they were decent people.
We focus too much on the wrong things.

Generally I completely agree. However, you are telling me the twink in the lower picture (Austin Mahone) is even HALF the man of the guy (Ben Cohen) in the top (

) one?

Not everyone likes slim, muscle-bound gym heads but that is the "ideal", apparently.

I've come across many couples like this. It's not so far fetched...but the target audience of this piece is def skewed to populous cities with a large gay demographic.

That is the ideal no argument there and I don't get why people want to act like it isn't.
Austin Mahone is just corny and that comparison is more in league with the masculine spectrum.

I think the definition of what makes a man needs to be changed.

Ben Cohen is hot btw.

Stan for my husband.

I reject the idea of ideal. What's ideal for me certainly wouldn't be for the next person and so on.

Ripped guys are a turn off for me. I'd rather have someone with a bit of fluff than some 8 pack gym rat.

I'm not gay but that's exactly the reason why I started exercising I don't want to be alone, I'm extremely shy so imo it's more possible someone will come to me if I'm in good shape.

No, what's its skewed towards is the authors own homophobic views. Tell me, how is this ANY different from what straight couples do? This entire article is one big biased, ignorant propaganda agenda from beginning to end.

Vato

What is this? I'm in a big city of 4 million and very few people (gay or otherwise) place unrealistic emphasis on looks, like the article implies. Must be an American thing

I can't believe being healthy is considered a bad thing nowadays.

The reason I'm not fat is because of my metabolism and my job.
I'm always doing something physical, whether it's at work at the the gym.

I'm a size 28, and I've tried gaining weight but it's just not happening for me.
