Hot dads, not so hot moms

[Anonymous]

My DH is attractive and I was attractive up until I had my second last year. I now have a solid pooch and I'm frequently disheveled. It's just been a tough year.

There is a dad at our bus stop that stares at my pooch and my feet (my pedicure last month is fading fast!) and makes me feel so uncomfortable. It's creepy. So now he's creepy bus stop guy.

Don't be creepy bus stop guy.

Ha, no. Does it make any sense at all that a man would choose an overweight, not put together woman for appearances sake? Lol. Might want to rethink the logic on that sweetie.

It absolutely does make sense. Marrying a man who is gay is not an easy lifestyle. No sex, it's like a fake life. Not many beautiful woman are going to sign up for a fake life. But a nice, kind, over weight woman might jump at the offer. The two are together because they want a family and to be normal.

In this day and age? Nonsense.

I was wearing yoga pants and flip flops yesterday. Sorry I tried to exercise during naptime!

So are all you ladies saying that there is NEVER an age where we're allowed to raise the flag of surrender and just embrace and accept ourselves? I can't imagine being a seventy year old mean girl still judging other seventy year old ladies who aren't "put together" enough at the pool or who don't have a fresh manicure. Am I the only one who fantasizes about moving to New Mexico and letting my hair go grey and making pottery? This life you all describe sounds exhausting. I used to volunteer in the hospital when I was in high school and I remember helping these really old ladies with their makeup and wondering just why.

As a man, I look forward to the day when I just have no more fucks to give and start wearing dress socks with my shorts while mowing the lawn.

Yes, google Zsa Zsa Gabor one of the most put together feminine ladies of all time. At some point, she said to hell with it. Not sure what age it was for her but I'm no Zsa Zsa so earlier than her is fine for me .

please, white women, tell us more of your thoughts on "asians", they are so well thought out and valuable, please bestow your insights on us

It actually took a long time to get racial and the post that started it was saying white women age terribly. But sure, feel picked on.

You do sound mean OP. I used to be hot and now I'm 50 pounds overweight. My DH is still hot...he didn't have a baby! Don't judge too harshly...it may be you someday.

Before it came out that he was a rascal, I used to think John Edwards was so nice to stay with his wife Elizabeth. Well, it turned out he was fully around even when she had cancer. It's just a mean world out there OP...why do you need to add to the meanness?

Oh, I want to be understanding. Aging, pregnancy, metabolism, and life generally have a way of taking a toll on our bodies. But, come on, you didn't have a 50 pound baby!

As a woman, I'd like to inquire what would be proper attire for mowing the lawn?

Seriously?

She could be 50 pounds thinner and she still would have had a baby and aged. You can go under the knife, shoot your face and your boobs and your ass full of plastic...you still won't be 30 again. That doesn't mean give up. Just be accepting of yourself and your body as it ages.

This tells me that the man really loves his wife for who she is, and not just for what she looks like; that he won't abandon her because she has some issues. I would hope my DH is the same if this kind of thing should ever happen to me, though DH is not hot attractive

Unfortunately, many of these men who stick with the not-so-attractive wife seek sex elsewhere.

^Says the 1950's Good Housewife guide: "How to keep your man".

In reality, a man either has character or he doesn't. If he lacks character he'll sneak around and have women on the side and then blame it on his wife at home. Think of all of the cheating done in Hollywood....

Even Jennifer Aniston got cheated on.

There's always someone else who is better looking and/or better at sex than you.

So, they can go elsewhere then. My wonderful life doesn't revolve around those kinds of people. A lack of morals and character is what that's about.

You do, I guess, or you wouldn't still be married to him?
