It's not all the women's fault though, they also blame President Obama because he works out, exercises regularly and looks good without his shirt on (even if he does wear Mom Jeans). I mean jeez, if we can't compete with the President then I guess the only other way to go is the complete opposite way.
Who knew that all this time I thought I was being a rebel by not going the gym, but that I was actually in training to be the next "it boy" Boy it's a good thing I hated going to the gym - and it shows!
The most interesting comment in the whole story comes from the editor of OUT Magazine on how he explains the Ralph Kramden for coming into style:"I sort of think the six-pack abs obsession got so prissy it stopped being masculine". You know, I think he's on to something. Sometimes the bigger the muscles the bigger the girl. Sometimes it's also applies with dogs, the smaller the dog - the bigger the girl! And even sometimes, if you're like me, the bigger the belly, the bigger the girl! And no, I don't own a dog.
So if I'm reading it correctly the rise and fall of muscles was because women joined the workforce and men had to work out to show them how hot they were instead of how much they made; but then the gay men made it look prissy and since we can't compete with President Obama we might as well just lay back and let our bellys grow.
What the article doesn't discuss though is the health consequences of carrying around that extra weight....of course that's not important when you're trying to point out the next "trend" though, is it?
hat do you think? It'll be interesting to see what porn looks like in the next year!

HAHAHA this is great. personally the 6 pack will NEVER go out of style but i understand how that got a little too gay. i think going to opposite way though i extremely unnecessary. I love the guys that run with no shirt and rockin abs!! And i would like to thank them for deciding that it was to hot to wear a shirt!
Especially the guys who run w/o shirts when it's not appropriate - they're just show offs...LOL!
Heh. I don't carry a six-pack, I carry a KEG. So nice to know that the ladies still enjoy the granite abs, even better to know that some accept the fact that I just don't have that many crunches in me! Besides, whatever happened to 'personality goes a long way?' lol
personality went out of style when Facebook came into fashion!
And I SO wanted to avoid buying the fancy sports car. lol.
