I'm Marcel. as for what the fight is about, to be honest i'm not entirely sure myself. I keep getting into arguments where the person i'm arguing with seems to be on the same side as me, but we end end arguing on some aspect of how i'm Doing It Wrong. The weird thing is, i'm not even arguing for egalitarianism as a rebranding, i think she thought me stating that i'd never encountered that thing about men being respected as "making great steps for the movement", was me making the discussion "all about me"

As for Adam i think he's still sore about how a handled this Male feminist Facebook group i started a while back. His GF was involved in a major flame war that happened at the beginning, after which i unfriended her ass because it finally occurred to me she had never said anything to me that i would classify as friendly.

Also yea, in retrospect this probably is more appropriate in Open Bar. Admins care to snip this, or am I good?

Look, what you do here is you piss the other person off until they get those sparkly things in their eyes, and then you block them outta nowhere.

Abs still (almost) standing up to christmas fat and booze invasion. Feeling a bit drunk, a bit stoned and a bit camwhoreish. Merry x-mas guys and girls!

You're pretty fly for an old guy! 

BTW for a split second, because of the way the mirror is positioned, I thought you were wearing the shortest short-shorts ever and I was mildly scandalized.

Gee shucks! Guy in our canoe club, must be pushing 70. Still rocking the washboard. Reckon I can keep it going til maybe around there, unless I get diseased or crippled or shit. Meanwhile the top bit is getting older and gnarlier ever time I see the fucking thing looking back at me through shiny glass. Truth be told it's the face I always wanted. Being pretty never sat right with me. A demonic snarl was much more important. I have a very metal sense of aesthetic

I kinda know what you mean, except without the rock-hard abs. I do kind of miss the lean mean athletic body of my youth, but my face always kind of startled me... it looked like a Disney cartoon of "pretty Native girl". I'm more comfortable with a face that's a little bit quirkier, crookeder, and jowlier for the wear.

Besides, now that I look like a nice middle-aged mom I can get away with ANYTHING.

Plus if I was more motivated I could get the abs back. Probably at the cost of my magnificent, magnificent boobs though. These things are incredible, I can't believe they're mine.

Tough call on the lean v's chebs issue. Kelly Brook or Alana Blanchard? Anything mine looks like is a side effect of what I use it for, not the primary consideration. Not that looking okay with the shirt off isn't nice and all but even if it happened to make me look horrible, I'd be doing what I do.

Live the life you wanna live and quit looking in the mirror so much, right?

Sort of, although that philosophy really only works if what you like to do keeps you fit. What I like to do is read and research... if I don't put conscious effort into staying fit, I'll turn into a blob and die young.

Though I did get up and run a mile this morning to burn off a lingering hangover, so I'm not on the verge of death yet.

Yeah, if the choice of lifestyle is sedentary, the body will accommodate. I get by with a kayak session once or twice a week that's pretty much on par with a hard gym workout. The kind where my legs are fkin jelly and I just want to lie down for a couple of days. Rest of the week I use DT, almost constantly which I think is a beneficial as fuck habit to develop, coupled with the fact I move about my environment with a very "parkour" approach. I like the way the vehicle feels, navigating space. And I tend to take staircases a flight at a time and vault barriers rather than walk along to the gap and shit like that.

My ape basically just conforms to the workload I put on it. Diet isn't really an issue, although I do fast a lot more than most people. I eat when I need it, which isn't the same as having three meals a day. Fuel intake is determined by activity level. If I'm putting a lot of load on it, I stuff more organic matter in the filler hole.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

What's "DT"?

I'm relatively active for a science person... I walk 5 miles a day on average, and usually squeeze in a 10-mile hike on weekends. But being a woman in my 40's and having gone through three pregnancies, I'll have to do a lot more than that to be thin again. And reality is, I don't know that I care enough to... I just want to get my heart rate up for an hour once a day.

DT is Dynamic Tension. Makes me want to shake Charles Atlas by the ha...aaaaaaaand!

Basically, apply tension to the muscles all the time or more intensely, briefly in workout scenarios. It translates to the way you sit, the way you stand, the way you lift things (pretend they're heavy and flex accordingly) muscles should always be rippling. Move through the different groups. The tipping point comes when the body is trained like a dog, it expects it. Your muscles will crave input. Path of least resistance is to give in to the demands of the machine. Flex. Constantly.

Try sitting in a room that is a good bit too cold for comfort without developing hypothermia and start flexing everything, arms, shoulders, abs, pecs, lats, obliques, the works. This will heat you up enough to be comfortable but only if you're flexing a bit of you at all times. It's almost like a cheat but it does the job for me.

I already do that, but only with my vagina.

[P3nT4gR4m]

  I was married to someone like that a couple of decades ago. Did it with her glutes, too. Playboy - toned and that - "please let me out" thing at the end
