Weight Talk: Fitness, Health and Society@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Luke-warm take: A masculine person does not have to be the bigger one in the relationshipEnglish
2·11 months agoYeah, this is what men should be a lot more focused on, men should all live by the motto of your friend Spider. The insecurity of the straight man is so harmful, not just to them but to everyone around them. And, uh, I hope you’re comfortable and consenting if he’s whipping his dick out on you lol!

Weight Talk: Fitness, Health and Society@lemmy.blahaj.zone•People say that the BMI scale is bogus. How true is that, health experts?English
1·11 months agobut it’s highly correlated with health outcomes.Huh, as the article and the other commenter says, I was of the impression that it isn’t as correlated with health outcomes as the medical field once thought. Maybe it’s my high school football and track background, but I feel like I know a lot of people who have hit 2/3/4. I think they’re less of an outlier than people lead on. Like, we had a graduating class of 70 people, and about 7 of them could lift some heavy weight, 6 masculine, one feminine. Of course, I know my podunk public school in rural U.S. isnt a proper microcosm for the world’s population, but I think we should acknowledge that athletic people have some muscle mass on them. Most of the world works in manual labor jobs, so the athleticism of the regular person (outside of the US, which has a known history of a growing obese population) probably isn’t as unmuscular as at least my US perspective would lead me to believe.



I feel like for some ppl 5kg is a lot of change and for some people it isn’t; like 5 kg is 7% of my body weight.
