Is it socially acceptable for over 30s men to be overweight?

[Misanthropist]

For some reason, I don't feel any pressure or insecurity about being overweight unlike back then. My gut sticks out a bit but still put a smile on my face. So, I can't help but wonder whether if that as you age, you just don't care anymore. Right?

I'm kinda like this now (random pic).

I don't know what country you live in but here in the USA it has been socially acceptable to be a fat, bucket of gravy drinking, sheet cake eating slob for over 20 years.

It is not historically speaking and there is no real body positivity for men movement.

I'm 39 but i try to stay in decent shape
There's no much stigma for those that let themselves go out of shape, but women notice/appreciate if you don't

I think people give no fucks about how fat everyone is nowadays. The way statistics are looking nowadays, it will be the morm eventually.

Its harder to be less fat nowadays streaming has increased the sedentary lifestyle. VR is also not good for keeping people from being fatties.

Man be correct.

It’s probably less acceptable to be a weeb.

Socially acceptable as in you don’t get abused in the street? Probably. Rightfully so. Same for women in their 20s. It shouldnt be encouraged though. Not going to hate on my overweight Sherbros but I would encourage everyone male or female, young or old to put their best foot forward and do something about their weight if they are overweight. Start with small steps, a little less sugar in the drinks and a little more steps in the street.

The world needs you, your family needs you. They need the most healthy version of you possible. Wake up tomorrow in better shape then you were yesterday. That’s all you need to do. Aim to do a little bit better today then you did yesterday

People shouldn’t be shamed for being fat. They should absolutely be encourage to do something about being at a unhealthy weight

I have very few friends who aren't overweight. Husband isn't but being I've barely moved in the last year I'm getting a tummy on me. With the skinniest legs and arms. I don't really care about visual social acceptance though, why would you?

It's socially acceptable but I don't find it acceptable for myself. I hate getting fat. It feels gross... jiggly belly and double chin.

It's not easy either. Genetically I have to work hard to stay lean. I do intermittent fasting so somedays I'll starve until 5pm... watching coworkers eat a bacon egg sando, pizza lunch, snacks , then they go home and crush a big meal. I'd much rather eat that shit too but I refuse to be fat

You should live your life better than the mediocrity of what's socially acceptable.

You need more beer than that.

Only gay men are attracted to abs. Women want humor and/or money and decent facial aesthetics.
