I agree with Bagstard about the men not being happy with the women bit, I told mine she needed to get back to the gym, only because ive been told to mention it before, I also knew what wrath I'd get if I put it the wrong way. She went and measured herself, looked in some random little book and told me she'd put on an inch everywhere, now she back working out, loving it albeit bitching a bit.
I'm 5 foot 9 and 13 stone. Which would make me a bit on the chubby side, but unlike the IT warriors on here I have 31 inch waste to go with it. God I'm awesome! What was the question again?
I agree with you there kudos, lots of men seem to be happy to give up and get old quick, but would be complaining if their wives did the same.
I think it works both ways, but yes men are more judgemental when it comes to appearance. As long as you are happy that is the main thing, but for me being physically fit and strong is important. The idea of "well now I'm old and out of shape, I might as well accept it" is not really an option.
I'd like to be riding and exercising right up until I die if possible, so looking after my body is one of my priorities.
kudos, many people seem to think themselves old at twenty five!My wife keeps herself trim, but did say yesterday she would likely stop at forty(currently thirty!)Doesn't make sense to me, the older you get the more reason to look after yourself!

Exactly. Most people have completely the wrong idea when it comes to growing old. When you are you young you can get away with murder with diet and exercise (I did none in my late teens/early twenties and lived on sweets, chocolate and marijuana) If I did that now I would be a complete mess!
As you get older your body starts to deteriorate and you have to fight to keep in shape and healthy.
The idea that you would stop exercising at a certain age is madness!
Was obsessed with looking toned a few years ago. Looks a bit like a Welsh Ethiopian so loads of muscle would make me look a freak. More concerned about my health and happy being 'normal'. Only thing I don't like is my shoulder [nerve damage] which means my right shoulder is a few inches lower than my left
7.5/10. I look great with my shirt off, but i wish i was taller.
all that muscle is giving the impression of a teenyweenypeni'
Bet you wouldn't tell him that to his face 🙂
If I was just out of arms reach I might.
Anyway, I've just spent an hour staring at myself in the mirror whilst doing yoga. My abs whilst chizzled are not even. So I'll mark myself down to 105% perfect.
