In essence, Alexa became a babe and I became a sack of trash.
I get winded walking up the three flights of stairs to my apartment...the thought of plié-ing next to a whole bunch of hot girls for an hour sounded like hell.
I glanced up in time to catch a glimpse of her abs as she threw a shirt on over her sports bra.I hated her.
[Y]ou need weights,” she said looking at me. “I usually do two and four-pound ones but…” she started, not knowing whether or not my chubby arms could even lift up four pounds.
I tossed the free weights on the ground, unable to lift them any longer...[M]y breathing sounded like an old, run-down car as I wheezed my way past the first few exercises...I attempted to plank, only to have my arms give out. Finally I just laid on the floor like a dead animal while the girls around me inhaled together, holding their abs in and “tucking their tushes.” Fuck, I was out of shape. When we stood up again, I made eye contact with the bitch who tricked me into coming here.
I remember laying on my mat, shaking my head with tears in my eyes as the instructor told us we had a few more stomach exercises left.
I didn’t care that I looked like a tub of lard rolling around whimpering about the pain...Any notion I had that I wasn’t a useless ball of fat and pizza rolls was long, long gone.
I’m going to sign up for an unlimited plan for a month because like, if I can do that three times a week and end up looking like Mila Kunis, it’s worth ugly crying on a mat for 55 minutes..
Despite her plan to purchase an unlimited membership and look like "Mila Kunis" it is now three (3) months later and she is STILL fat. Notice her arms! My guess is that if she attended class again she would not bother grabbing the free weights or doing a full plank b/c its embarrassing that actual hot girls with toned arms and core strength outperform her in a group exercise class and she admittedly lies on the floor like a useless ball of fat and pizza rolls. She probably still can't climb stairs without wheezing. It appears that without her hot friend to motivate (shame) her to going to class she has fallen back on her old bad habits of eating shit and being lazy.
I'm confused because I know Austin is trendy and popular right now so she ought to be able to find some hot friends to hang out with who will drag her fat ass to the gym. She does not want it though...because she is and forever will be a fat girl.

Almost; I think they think of it like a numbers game where everything is relative, and to a certain extent, they're right. I'll never lustfully caress a fats saggy sausage casing skin, but there are plenty of people who will lower their standards based on what's available. Being overweight is now average and the scarcity of fit people creates social pressure to settle.
There was a post by a fit lesbian here the other day (something like 80% of her dating pool is obese ) whose (ham) sister basically told her that "beggars can't be choosers" and tried to downplay the importance of physical chemistry in dating as a way of priming her to be set up with one of a procession of fats from Facebook.
The straight/cis dating pool is slightly lower in saturated fats, but as a relatively fit guy approaching 30, it's already getting really hard to find anyone attractive to date. Meanwhile, I get solicited by fat gamers and the wrong kind of feminists online every couple of days and friends and family wonder why I'm not always seeing someone.
Personally, I'd rather just enjoy the time for exercise, friends, and projects, but I can see how someone might just give it up after a while and descend into gluttonous conplacancy themselves and settle for a ham. Plenty of my peers seem to be doing it. It's probably some kind of biological imperative at work. HAES and Body Positivity are symptoms of fats tuning into it.
Thinking about the forces driving buttergolems' behavior as a herd still boggles my mind. Most are in complete denial about their culpability in the sad state of their bodies and have completely given up on ever controlling their eating. It's so bad that the prospect of shifting an entire society's norms and standards seems like a more attainable way of getting laid/accepted than consuming in moderation and exercising occasionally. Really let that sink in for a minute.
On behalf if the human race: "fuck...."
Thank god fit people are continually demonstrating their rationality and self-control by existing. There will always be a subset of the population that would rather be single and preserve their self respect than date a fat.

If you are a fit guy approaching 30 you should have no problem attracting human females if you are not otherwise a loser. There are plenty of women in their 20's and early 30's who stay healthy and fit. However there is a big caveat to this and that is your location. Do you live in or near a medium/big city? If yes then I guarantee you that you should be able to find attractive women. Do you live in a small town away from large population of people? Then the pool will be small and it tends to get married very fast.

I've been traveling a lot, and currently live in the boonies at the outskirts of a smallish city. Pickings are better in the city proper, but not great overall. Seattle was way, way better in that regard.
