The "Outrageously Idiotic Past the Point of Comprehension" Statements Thread

[beanman]

beanman, do you think your wife owes you looking a certain way that you find satisfactory?

asking that honestly and genuinely; not attacking you at all.

Don't make me out to be one of those guys. Physical attraction is sorta important is all. I wouldn't let myself go too far, and I'd expect the same from her. The difference between us is she has an excuse and I don't. But me knocking off weight won't be much of a problem.... Our relationship would certainly be much better off if she could shed some of that pregnancy weight is all.

absolutely agree that physical attraction is important, but also am kind of troubled by the idea that your relationship would improve if she lost weight.

love, especially the kind of 'let's get married and spend the rest of our lives together' love, is supposed to be unconditional right? for better or worse? i know we're all human and don't play that out well but i think the only way your wife will actually want to lose that weight is completely for herself and her own reasons, and if she decides to lose it for your happiness she might end up resenting you for it down the road.

i'm not married so you can call me naive because i am, but that just makes me uneasy.

I thought all that stuff when I was your age chief. Now I think that's all crap. LOL

Some of you guys could use a Snickers

You should stick that Snickers in your vagina.

About half those people who say 'let's get married and spend the rest of our lives together' get divorced my man. And there's a hell of a lot of guys out there that work long hours, etc. on purpose just to stay away from their wives. I know several.

I'm of the opinion that they get divorced because they are concerned with their spouse being the perfect person to fit their desires ahead of being concerned about trying to be the perfect person for their spouse themselves.

There's no slippery slope on 'It's my choice to love this person and serve them no matter what'.

But when it starts being 'Thing would be better if they just did this', seems like an easy progression all the way to 'They aren't the person I married and just aren't giving me what I want so I'm out'

LOL. Give out some advice you fuckwad. We're starting a tangent thread in the shed.

Since we're talking about wives, can you guys give me advice as to how to tell my wife she needs to go to the f'ing gym or I'm gonna kick her out?

Thanks!

Take a real sh**ty picture of her, make sure it makes her look real fat, and then hang it on the refrigerator so she always has to see it when she wants to eat.

Best way - start working out yourself. Leading by example is one of the best ways to effect change. Think of how hard it is to change yourself - now imagine that someone else is trying to change you. That's what you're trying to do with your wife. Be prepared to spend *literally* years doing this, and perhaps the rest of your life.

If you work out regularly already, be really cool about it. Don't rub it in her face that you do and she doesn't. Don't even say anything to her, just be content, be happy with it. If she sees you enjoying it, that'll be the biggest advertisement that she should start.

Also - who cooks at your house? If she does, take over a little bit, and focus on the veggies & healthier dishes. Learn to cook if you don't, and make good-tasting, healthy stuff.

Just about the surest way to sabotage your intent (a shapelier wife) is to insinuate, hint, or in any way express to her that you're dissatisfied with her figure. You'll undo 1,000 good deeds with one such comment.

Probably good advice. She does most of the cooking. I work long hours depending on the day and it's never a planned thing. So that makes it tough for me to cook during the week. Our diets are not good. But, if I stop drinking soda and go to the gym I can drop 10 lbs in 2 weeks. She on the other hand doesn't seem to get anywhere. I don't know if she understands how to actually work hard at the gym and I think the personal trainers I've paid for didn't push her enough.

We just switched gyms from that snotty a$$ Lifetime Fitness so maybe that will help her be more comfortable.

1. Stop paying the trainer

2. Use money and drop her off at a Crossfit gym

3. Enjoy

If this is the same wife in that family picture you posted a while back, I see no need for her to go to the gym.

I didn't know they have gyms dedicated to Crossfit only. Maybe I'll have to look into that.

They're rather pricey, but may actually be less than what you're paying the trainer. Plus, after she learns the movements and recognizes the kinds of intensity that it takes to really tone/burn and build muscle, she could continue the workouts on her own at a traditional gym after a few months. I have mixed feelings for Crossfit for men who are already working out and making decent gains at the gym, but for women who either stick to 30 mins on the elliptical or to some dumb, easy trainer workout, it can be a REAL game-changer.
