And he was brutally honest when it came to the male mind.
He's also the first one that made me realize that many men like bigger women.
Anyway, I gained 20 pounds and have stayed at a size 6-8 since that talk and very happy. No trouble getting dates or keeping men
The problem with this philosophy is when a 'not' rail thin person tries to apply it. That extra 20 lbs in their 20s balloons to 40-60 in their 40s, especially after kids. Establish good eating and physical activity habits in your 20s.
