Don’t say that on the Special Needs board. Just don’t. You have no idea what you are talking about.

PP didn't say that on the Special Needs board. Do you get it?

If something is said in the majority of other fora, the intended audience/people we are talking about are neurotypical and developmentally typical. So yes, there doesn't need to be caveat-caveat-caveat, exception-exception-exception.

There is one Special Needs forum. Hopefully, people respect that and either don't post there, or are exercising good judgment and providing context when they do post there. But outside of that board, we don't need to act like we are posting in that board.

Also: it's way more about what you eat (and don't eat) than how much you work out. You can't outrun your fork. Lose weight in the kitchen; tone up in the gym.

divorced 40 year old woman who wants to have flings with younger guys - you go girl!!

divorced 40 year old man who wants to have flings with younger women - you're a creep. craddle robber. no wonder your wife left you. etc, etc, etc.

tl, dr: the man is always wrong, no matter what.
