I don’t know how anyone sees this as anything other than a troll

It’s kind of funny in a way

“I know, I sound arrogant, but I promise I’m not making it up”

This is straight out of the Dear Playboy “letters” from the 1970s

That was Penthouse and the meme was “Dear Penthouse, I never thought it would happen to me …” and then they go on to describe some wild sex scenario that matches common fantasies.

This was famously parodied in the opening scenes of “Splash” with John Candy running around handing out copies of the magazine.

They’re afraid their husbands will start noticing you.

Dealt with this myself. Not that I’d give any of them the time of day, but yes, they do spend lots of time looking at you, especially when their wife has let herself go.


This is their problem, not yours OP.

I’m 50 and I’ve lost over 100 lbs over the last two years (using glp-1) and going to the gym 6 days a week. I’m now in incredibly good shape, skinny with very defined muscles.

I’ve gotten a ton of comments, none have been mean spirited. The most jealous comments are like “gosh I wish my insurance would cover those meds like yours does”.

I think you may be mis-interpreting the looks you are getting.

I lost a good chunk of weight a couple years ago. Most of the responses were positive, but I did get a few looks.

Sadly, I gained the weight back.

I mean if you're going around saying I work out for an hour every day, I'd wonder where you find the time. I'm 46, have recently lost 30lbs thanks a GLP1 and light exercise, but I just don't have an hour a day. It's great that you do, but I'll confess to being jealous. Maybe when my now 10yo is 15 I can make an hour a day work, but right now, nope.

OP: it’s more dirty looks. And checking me out up and down.

So nobody said or did anything and you're making extreme assumptions about the actual nothing that happened?

Get help.

I'm 54. You're the one who knows what year it came out, you old fart.

That movie, BTW, gave us "Madison" as a first name.

Are there people who treat you normally without looking you over? Maybe you look amazing and they are impressed.
