Petraeus Done

[-Jrabbit]

I do know that if you marry someone you want to be attracted to them for as long as possible... gaining weight and letting yourself go is one of the key ways the spark and romance leave a relationship.

If you are in love with your spouse, they will remain attractive to you. But don't worry; I sincerely believe that there is virtually no chance that you (or Alby) will ever develop enough of a relationship with another human to experience love.

You've gotta understand, the man was in Afghanistan. *****'s a little hard to come by. Being on deployment artificially pushes her way over the hot/crazy line.

I saw a lot of 3/10 become 10/10 over there - especially after a few weeks into each rotation - day by day the fat and ugly ones just got prettier and prettier - some of them loved all the attention.

You know you're hanging out when you're if debating some fat woman's acrid B.O., moustache and hairy legs are really all that bad..I was in conversations like that

I'm in a relationship right now and I'm in love. I love my woman with all her flaws and etc. And as a part of that love, I strive to please her. I do all sort of things that I think will make her happy. One of those things is to work out and not sit around all day eating ice cream watching tv blaming my weight problem on genetics.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying that an overweight person deserves to get cheated on.

Looks like Holly Petraeus is free now

Really? Sure sounded like it. You even went to the trouble of posting before/after photos.

Seriously,
Holly Petraeus really let herself go since the early days of their relationship. I don't know why women or men think it's okay to go from this

Yes you are. You are blaming a 60 year old woman for being cheated on because she doesn't look like supermodels and actresses who obviously won the genetic lottery, generally look like they have their faces painted on, and/or have had copious amounts of cosmetic surgery/other expensive treatments. You're condemning her lifestyle without knowing anything about it.

She looks like a normal 60 year old woman. If you go into a marriage expecting your wife won't gain weight and wrinkles over the decades, you're delusional.

Indeed. Especially after having 2 children. And FWIW, it isn't like Holly Petreaus is anything close to obese. She's an ordinary looking 60 year old woman.

You should be judging fit people for being stupid enough to waste significant amounts of time on something that is largely irrelevant in modern society.

How is fitness irrelevant to modern society? You reduce your risk to obesity, stroke, heart disease, and high blood pressure by being more fit.

Who the **** cares if you live to be 80 instead of 60? Retirees take a lot from society while not contributing much in return. There's actually a plausible case to be made that fitness is detrimental to our society.

No.

What did you think retirement IS?

Erm, you do realize obese people cost a ton for health care, in addition to whatever non-obesity related conditions they may contract, right?

A drain on society?

IIRC, obesity is actually a net gain for society because fat people tend to die before they rack up massive healthcare costs. They aren't as good for society as smokers, but they're much better than fitness freaks who die slowly at age 100 after living off transfer payments for 3+ decades.

[Tupac Shakur]

Although effective obesity prevention leads to a decrease in costs of obesity-related diseases, this decrease is offset by cost increases due to diseases unrelated to obesity in life-years gained. Obesity prevention may be an important and cost-effective way of improving public health, but it is not a cure for increasing health expenditures.
