An entire generation pumping gas
Doctor_Skank
My own conclusion is the same.
On my recent NY trip (work related) I saw a number of AW who were so gross that I actually avoided looking at them. Please don’t get me wrong: I’m referring to their physical shapes rather than them as people. Actually in all such cases I would have to say that these women were actually OK looking when one looked at the face, but “porkers” in the rest of the body ~ lets say average looking MILF-type women who never walked more than 50m a day! In one case I actually felt nauseous when I saw the uterine-apron waddle. The best case for abdominoplasty I have seen this year! Combining this “giving up” with a bad attitude makes for a lonely spinster. I guess the USA population dynamic will be affected by this in the long run.
I don’t live in the states and so would ask you: is this “giving-up” something that is learned by migrants also? I mean to say does this argument apply equally to new residence after a few years? Does the classic pair shape Hispanic chica arse turn into a sac of doughnuts? Give me rice & beans any day of the week!
Rock:
I really enjoyed your bike-rider analogy. I have seen it and similar so many times now that it bought a smile to my face. The simplicity of life has been “rat-raced” somewhere along the line. I think that we have been manipulated into having bought into the idea of “better than next door…” as a general rule of life. So (in the immortal words of Chuck Palahnuik of Fight Club fame): “an entire generation pumping gas and waiting tables; or they're slaves with white collars. Advertisements have them chasing cars and clothes, working jobs they hate so they can buy shit they don't need. We are the middle children of history, with no purpose or place. We have no great war, or great depression. The great war is a spiritual war. The great depression is our lives. We were raised by television to believe that we'd be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars -- but we won't”. Is the race to beat “next door” responsible for the AW attitude? Certainly not the AW average shape these days…
Is the answer to find some hide away island and teach English to the locals as a job, working for $1 per hour and being happy? Actually this thought really attracts me, and one day I may sell up and do just that….maybe as part of an early retirement plan. I agree that we need money / credit of some kind to survive, but it’s the “race” which not only belittles the quality of life, it actually reduces its longevity!
