I've seen plenty of heavyset men with thinner, pretty women. Some women don't care at all about appearance. If you have something else to offer, most women don't care.
Like money?
MB2, you look pretty good for 'average.' My wife is about the same height/weight as you usually, and I think she looks pretty good.
I agree with you about the weight issue. I don't think there can be any doubt that some people (such as my sister-in-law) have legitimate genetic issues that contribute significantly to their weight, but there are also many people who simply aren't active enough or don't eat the right foods. You read all the time about how obesity is getting worse in this country, and this is the first generation with a life expectancy less than the previous one. How can
all of that be genetic?
Heck, I was very active in high school/college, I lifted weights, I ran, played racquetball, and I could eat anything and not gain weight. However, when I got older, got a full-time job, got married, most of my physical activity stopped, but my eating didn't. I went from 185 to 240 pounds. That's not genetic. I'm now on the South Beach Diet, as well as doing cardio and weight training, and I'm back to about 200 pounds, aiming for 185-190. So for some people, not all, but some, it is possible to lose the weight with some lifestyle changes.
And to return to the original topic of this thread, I see nothing wrong with enjoying the occasional bottle of beer or glass of wine. As some have posted, there are many health benefits to alcohol, as long as it's not abused.
