I might be going off instinct here, but I put all the blame on Michelangelo.
If it hadn't been for David, with his curly hair, broad shoulders and flat stomach, maybe this fad wouldn't have caught on - who knows?
But this "norm" for guys to have six-pack abs is a little too ridiculous.
Even 500 years after David was unveiled, you can't walk across an Abercrombie and Fitch without seeing one of their store models standing in the entrance with his shirt off, his six-pack staring back at you.
And FYI - that doesn't make me want to come in. It not only makes me feel really uncomfortable, it confuses me into what shirt they're advertising.
There used to be a time when not having a six-pack meant you were getting laid.
In fact, the heavier you were meant you were physically appealing to women.
It's like John Goodman being a sex symbol for young teenagers across the nation, putting up posters of him in their rooms and dorms instead of that British guy - what's his name? Oh, yeah, David Beckham.
Back when food wasn't so easy to obtain, the bigger someone was showed a sign of wealth. And in any culture dating back to prehistoric age, wealth was a pretty easy way to get laid.
Now everything is all about having that chiseled stomach, with the bones bulging through the skin, looking like you could cook a steak on it.
It's getting in the way of chubby people like me.
It's ridiculous that girls get all googly-eyed when a male walks passed them who has a sixer (the street term for abs).
The guy could be the most shallow person in the world and be dumb as a rock, but it's OK - he'll still get laid.
Talk about a backward society. I'll never forget my senior year of high school when I went to this one graduation party.
Everyone was kicking back and relaxing having a good time. I met this girl who was some girl's cousin from a different county, and instantly I started spitting game.

I agree, society has become extremely shallow.However, I challenge you on two angles. The first being, yes you may not have had the most amazing body and this may have been the reason she was seen with this other guy who you considered dull and dim, but how are you certain that your so-called game was on point? Maybe she really wasn't interested and the lack of a body that she found appealing sealed the deal for her. (Continued…)
