Why Gay Men Don't Get Fat

Underlining, highlighting and bold print by FuelMix:


There is only one thing that keeps gay men in shape: fear. Yes, every gay—at least those of the stereotypical abdominal-obsessed physique that populates Fire Island and Palm Springs—is brought about because gay men are afraid that they will be alone for the rest of their lives. If a gay man is not "serving body" while competing to find a trick or boyfriend in one of the more muscle-bound climates of gay culture, he will be sorely shut out. That is why gay men don't get fat, because if they don't have pecs, guns, and glutes, they're going home alone.

Gay men, unlike their straight counterparts, don't have the luxury to stay in "fighting shape" just long enough to find a partner before letting their bodies fall to shit afterwords. No, gay men have to get buff, get married, and stay buff. Why? Because of three-ways, obviously. I'm going to let you in on a little secret: There are countless committed gay couples out there who like to either play on the side or invite guest stars into their beds. And you're not going to get any A-list guest stars if you're giving D-list torso with a four-star gut. Yes, gay men go to the gym to stay competitive, but since the man-eating marathon doesn't end after marriage, they just keep on competing and competing until death do they part.

The funny thing about the gay competition is that, because men (especially of the gay variety) are so visually stimulated, the only piece on the chess board that matters is having that traditional lean body. If straight men are lacking in some area, they usually make up for it by becoming rich or powerful, things that some women (see: Real Housewives of Orange County) find just as attractive as a washboard stomach dusted with natural body hair. But for gay men, only body will do. If a gay guy is a little short, his solution is to go to the gym. Got a shitty job? Go to the gym. Busted in the face? No biggie! Head to the gym and no one will look above your neck. Totally shy and doesn't socialize well? Gym, baby, gym! A good body is the only currency in this game.

What also makes this unique for gay men is one of the other strange quirks of homosexuality. Gay men are attracted to, essentially, themselves. No straight man wants to look like a woman (and certainly not the reverse) but gay men find what they are physically attracted to and often remake their bodies in the image of their ideal mate. Since society tells us to want muscle-bound athletes, that's what gays want, and that's what they make themselves look like in the pursuit of their ideal. If you want to bed muscles you have to have muscles, if you want to land a twink, you better be a twink (or at least some other type that is easily cast in any gay porn movie).

Still, gay men come in all shapes and sizes (embrace the rainbow, people) but still gay culture and iconography is largely dominated by the same juiced-out body type (and awful tribal tattoos) that you'd find on Jersey Shore. While there are plenty of average-physiqued homosexuals (who barely merit mentioning) there has been a reaction to all this body fascism over the past so many years. Yes, the "bear" movement, spearheaded by gay men who are hairier and chubbier than average, is forever gaining steam. Mostly it's because these guys gave up on the regular competition and decided to host a competition of their own. Theirs, instead of relying on protein shakes and bicep curls, relies on barbecue ribs and beer guts. These men only socialize (and sexualize) with other men that are as big and burly as they are. While they might be reversing the normal aesthetic ideals of gay culture ....... they still discriminate just as much based on physicality as their circuit party-loving brethren.

........Many gay men spend their adolescence as outcasts or misfits, and when they finally get to a place where they can join the gay culture at large, they react to their years of social solitude by conforming with the sort of fervor usually reserved for packs of teenage girls. That means looking the part, which, of course, means joining the gym and becoming a regular. It has nothing to do with being healthy or looking good, it has to do with that deep-seated fear that one day you will wake up and it will be just like high school all over again, with people hating you or picking on you for being different. Never again!

That middle-of-the-night terror is not an easy thing to teach, and it's not really the kind of advice that you can slap a sassy cover photo on and get millions of people to pay $22 for. Most gay men get it for free, and now, with this book, you too can be a pariah for years, then enter a conformist culture of casual sex and glistening bodies, followed by a lifetime of hookups with your significant other and the waxed dolphins you pick up on Grindr. That's the secret of how gay men don't get fat.

Obesity & The Fag 10

 SERIES COMPLETED 6 MAY 2017

 

10.  Tying It Altogether  

Any Conflicts Of Interest..?

1.  With the plethora of recent scientific findings on obesity, perhaps the first question to be asked is whether any of these studies were funded by drug companies and if so, which ones? The next question to be asked is whether any of the individual scientists have any commercial interests in private companies specializing in obesity research? 

Why Is Obesity So Prevalent..?

2.  If generational obesity is a fact (as outlined in the earlier parts of this series), how did it become so prevalent..? And why does it appear to have spread outwards as a post-war phenomenon from God’s Own Country to the rest of the Western world and now, globally..? 

3.  FuelMix has long suspected that the economics and geopolitics of the West and in particular, God’s Own Country are predicated on keeping people globally weak – physically, economically and politically. The concepts of “fast food” and the numerous examples of what later became known as “junk food” originated there and were ruthlessly shoved down other countries throats – often under the guise of opening up trade markets via a new business vehicle - the franchise. Those countries that refused to open up to the business practices of God’s Own Country were isolated with sanctions, had their economies wrecked by design, or were bullied, threatened or simply attacked.  Check out the book, "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" written by an American whose conscience got the better of him.

4.  Further, indigenous populations in remote areas which for hundreds of years had never shown symptoms of western diseases, were wiped out in 2 generations when foodstuffs from God’s Own Country were sold or handed out.  

5.  “Fast food” and “junk food” were never meant to be nutritious, regardless of what they might have said on the labels. Once a culture of convenience-based foods and a high pressure lifestyle are created (coupled with economic, political and military coercion), the population can effectively be told what to eat and when. 

6.  A virus doesn’t just appear. It requires an organism susceptible to hosting it. Years of chemical and hormonal doctoring of foods – in particular, meat and poultry - are now showing the results. It’s naive to think they would not have had an effect on the human body, which was never designed to eat this kind of toxic food. Cellular mutation is not unheard of and in the circumstances, not surprising. 

A Ploy Revealed..? 

7.  Not only do you have a docile population (with chronic health issues), you’ve also created a virus which wasn’t there before – and you can let the drug companies announce what they’ve discovered and then assure everybody that a cure is on the way. 

8.  In the meantime, you can trick people into thinking they’re carrying a virus which was latent and inherited - when all along it was the logical result of about 40 years of chemical tampering and additives. That’s a pretty neat way of dis-empowering them. 

The Backlash

 

9.  It’s not surprising that several countries are actively pushing “Slow Food” (organically grown, properly cooked, verifiably nutritious) or jealously guarding and nurturing their historical and far healthier street food stalls, as a backlash to what is seen as the arrogant, bullying, culturally insensitive, suspect marketing and products which are the staple of franchises and manufacturers from a particular part of the world. 

Calling A Spade A Spade

10.  FuelMix’s base line contention has been that obesity doesn’t just happen. It is triggered by post-war macro-policies of political and economic greed that affect the way we behave – and what we ingest - on a daily basis. 

11.  Is an obese person “diseased”..? FuelMix says No. They are simply the most visible victims: caught between a calculated and cynical policy of social engineering and their own lifestyle choices. 

12.  For the obese gay man, there’s a third bind: the bigotry of other gay men. Elsewhere in this blog, FuelMix has said that the purported tolerance and acceptance by gays of those perceived as "less than perfect", is a myth.

Obesity & The Fag 9

9.  The Obese Fag In The Workplace

1.  Currently, there appears to be no legislation anywhere that specifically protects the obese in the workplace (if there is, please let FuelMix know).  

2.  For the obese gay, what does this mean..? If he can’t be denied a job 'coz he’s gay, a more subtle means can be employed to deny him the position 'coz he’s fat – and it might be perfectly legal (not entirely ethical) – or at least, not yet illegal. 

3.  If the obese fag is already in the company, what leverage does he have..? It’s bad enough coming out on sexual orientation in the workplace. Is the obese fag now going to clamour that since modern science has confirmed that being gay is a hormonal code, AND that science has also discovered he’s carrying a "fat virus", that he should be regarded as “disabled” on at least one of those scores..?

4.  Should the obese gay be demanding bigger cubicles, bigger weight-bearing chairs, bigger toilets, 2 seats in business class and a revamp of the office cafeteria menu..? 

5.  If gays became militant in the face of AIDS and received additional funding, is this a potential tactic for the obese gay men..?

6.  Has science positioned the obese as the new economic – and environmental - terrorists...? 

7.  Or is science simply looking for another cash cow..? It’s been said that cancer is big business – more people live off it than die from it. Obesity could potentially be positioned the same way. A huge market for the pharmaceutical companies and smiles all around for the shareholders. 

8.  FuelMix predicts that after cancer and erectile dysfunction, obesity will be the next huge moneymaker for the pharmaceutical companies.

Obesity & The Fag 8

UPDATED 6 MAY 2017 FOR FURTHER READING...

8.  The Obese Fag In An Economic Grey Area

1.  Some countries have legislation (either nationwide or in individual provinces or states) making it unlawful to harass, refuse services to, or discriminate against a person because of their sexual orientation. 

2.  If it's not nationwide protection, then it can be a trap for the unwary. 

3.  If conventional science is right in its alleged identification of a “fat virus”, the corporate world is going to sit up and take notice -regardless of whether the obese person is gay.  It's the obesity that's the issue.

4.  Why..? The bottom line. Companies are always under pressure to cut staff and cut costs. Health insurance for staff is a huge expense. If there are fat people on the payroll and they might be carrying a “fat virus”, expect the insurance companies to get funny with their employee coverage.

5.  In 2004, a federal study carried out by the Centres For Disease Control in God’s Own Country and reported on the Live Science website dated 9 November 2004, concluded that obese passengers were adding substantially to airline fuel costs. In addition to having an economic impact, the additional fuel burned had an environmental impact. 

6.  Remember, some airlines already require obese passengers to buy 2 seats. Weighing them and / or  imposing a surcharge on them, is the next logical step. 

7.  In 2013, Samoa Air became the first airline to implement "pay-as-you-weigh" flights, meaning that overweight passengers pay more for their seats.  The airline pointed out there are no extra fees in terms of excess baggage.  It is based on how many combined kilos the passenger and his baggage were bringing on board. 

8.  Under this system, passengers booking online, enter their weight AND the weight of their baggage.  The higher the weight, the higher the cost per kilogram, depending on the length of the airline's routes.  Passengers and their luggage are then weighed again at the airport to verify the figures. 

9.  Putting it into context, South Pacific countries like Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti and Hawaii have acknowledged obesity issues with their populations.  The "pay-as-you-weigh" scheme is justified on health awareness and aircraft safety concerns (to ensure the weight of the aircraft is properly balanced for flight).  Put in those terms, it's hard to argue against it.  Or putting it another way, airlines are the vanguard of the "Fat Police".

10.  In an ideal world, we're all equal.  In the commercial world, fat people (rightly or wrongly) are an identified drain on expense, profitability and a safety risk.  If the fat guy also happens to be gay, too bad.  Your "gayness" is subordinate to your "fatness" and it's gonna cost you financially - and probably some of your dignity. 

11.  Is it controversial...?  Yup.  At the end of October 2016, passengers vented their fury (and lost) against Hawaiian Airlines for the same "pay-as-you-weigh" scheme on the route from  Honolulu to Pago Pago in American Samoa which the airline claimed was necessary for safety and flight balance reasons. 

12.  Watch for provisos and amendments to anti-discrimination laws, especially in the provision of services. 

P.S.  Don't get FuelMix started on fat peoples' miraculous ability to show up on public transport - next to a skinnier guy.

Obesity & The Fag 7

7.  The Obese Fag In The Ghetto 2

1.  What is the prognosis for the obese gay man up to his spare tire in a sub-culture adoring male perfection, living in a society that may regard him as “diseased”...? 

2.  FuelMix predicts the future for the obese gay is dim. If obesity is pinned to a virus (as appears to be the case) and rumoured to be “socially contagious” i.e. when a person is in the company of fat people, they tend to eat more, expect the generic non-obese urban fag to turn paranoid. 

3.  Consciously or otherwise, gay men are terrified of the word “virus”. It’s just too close to HIV or HPV. Further, many urban gays are engaging in risky behaviour even before thy get to sex. Go online and check out the number of ads where fags are into E, V, K, weed and poppers. And that’s apart from the booze and cigarettes. 

4.  Like it or not, the urban gay who walks the thin line between chemical poisoning and a chronically compromised immune system, is likely to look outside himself in a vain attempt to protect himself.

5.  And who better to point fingers at than the obese fag whom science says is carrying a virus, which may have been inherited in the womb and might be socially contagious...? 

6. If the obese fag isn’t already sidelined by the buff and pretty, expect the marginalization to increase.

7.  FuelMix predicts an utterly irrational sexual apartheid justified on the grounds of “preference” or “health conscious”. 

And it won’t end there...

Obesity & The Fag 6

 6.  The Obese Fag And The Ghetto  1

1.  FuelMix has said several times, that the gay ghetto is for the economically dis-advantaged. The partying, the boozing, the toking, the chems, that new glitter underwear, the gym, the saunas - that’s a lot of money to spend when you’re not making that much. So what’s gonna suffer? The fag’s grocery shopping (he has to cut down to pay the rent and the drugs and the ticket for that after-party, right?).  

2.  Enter the salvation of the franchised fast food joint and the 24 hour Convenience Stores. Ever noticed just how many of them there are in the geographic fag ghettos....?  Particularly in the West.....? They’re no fools. They know just where their customers are and what their lifestyles are. And they’re open pretty late. 

3.  How interesting.....

4.  The fast food joints and the 24 hour Convenience Stores in the ghetto are usually the only places still open when the bars and clubs give out. Ghetto fags are well known to keep erratic hours and schedules. Chem use triggers eating binges.  Plus the booze and fancy cocktails consumed in the bars are highly calorific. 

5.  Given that fag culture is so obsessed with body image, where does this leave the obese fag..? Should he blame his sub-culture, his parents, his employers, or society..? Or should be blame his lack of self-discipline..? After all, nothing should enter a fag’s mouth unless he gives it permission.

Speculative Origins of Gay Body Image

Greeks

1.    In the Western world it might have been the Greeks who unashamedly idealized and adored the male physique. The statues of muscle gods and ripped naked athletes engaging in sport and wrestling, or warriors, triggered homo-erotic veneration then - and now.

16th - 19th Centuries And The Industrial Revolution

2.   Taking a massive overview of the West in the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, one could see a cultural renaissance in the arts, an entrenched agrarian society,  followed by a tectonic shift to industrialization and the growth of cities. It did not equate to prosperity for everyone.  Starvation and malnourishment were quite common. The idealized glorified male body image during those times was that of the fat guy. (The stylized skinny dandies with the impeccable dress sense, were the oddities).


The Start Of Serious Male Bodybuilding

3.   Towards the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, one can see the establishment of gymnasiums for men in the West. Size and muscle strength started to attract attention.  Some of it was driven by fitness, some by vanity and some as a result of circus and acrobatic work.  It was the beginning of the serious male athlete.     

The Nazi Aryan Male - The Male Ideal

4.     Fast forward into the 1930s and what does one find...? As war clouds gathered over Europe, the Nazis glorified the Aryan male physique, encouraging sports and bodybuilding. Anyone else was inferior. Berlin was a hotbed for a thriving gay sub-culture, until gays were rounded up, forced to wear pink triangles and sent to the concentration camps. (That’s where the Pink Triangle comes from). 

The 1950s

5.    After the war, the 1950s saw the emergence of gay media, gay artists and gay photographers in the West.  Gay sex might not have been legal but that didn't stop them. The homoerotic element was loud and clear. Think Tom Of Finland with his massively muscled square jawed, huge dicked, ultra-masculine alpha males; or the black and white photographs of the US-based Athletic Muscle Guild, with clean cut, clean shaven, tanned, athletes in jockstraps posing in the studio, the beach or the mountainside. The masculine jock look was taking shape and getting an appreciative audience.

The 1970s

6.    By the 1970s the Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) was ubiquitous in Western households. Video porn mushroomed. Gay Saunas, Gay Play Spaces and Gay Cruising Areas which quietly sprang up in the the 1960s became well known in the 70s to anyone who went looking or simply asked around. Drugs and poppers in the gay scene took off. Gay men were developing a "look": 

• skinny twink, 
• str8 looking str8 acting, 
• jock, 
• leather daddy 
• bodybuilder 
• clone

Gay porn of the 1970s displays 2 main features: first, exclusively BB fucking; (now quaintly referred to as "condomless" or "condom free"), second “actors” who by today’s standards, would be described as skinny and ungroomed. 


1980s - AIDS and Bodybuilding For Gay Men
 

7.    The gay muscledude that appeared in porn from the early 1980s, was a product of desperate default. AIDS appeared in the West at the same time. One of its myriad manifestations was rapid muscle loss.  Baffled doctors, not knowing what they were dealing with, initially prescribed steroids and advised the fag to hit the gym. The lean, ripped look was not so much the result of design as it was a charade to mask the symptoms of catastrophic degeneration. 

8.   Thereafter, every fag and his dog hit the gym (more out of fear than anything else). The fag’s love of steroids and supplements comes from the 1980s (coincidentally, the same time as gay men were heavily into drugs like Poppers, Qualudes, Uppers and Downers). It was during that time that Spandex, Aerobics and Bodybuilding really took off. Muscle T-shirts were well and truly In. Western gay media shifted its portrayal of the jock to an increasingly musclebound, impeccably groomed, extensively shaved, heavily gelled and slightly airbrushed white dude (with the intellectual capacity of a wind tunnel).  Massively marketed worldwide, it carried an implicit notion of Western male superiority.

9.   Obese fags were simply nowhere to been seen in mainstream gay media. Yeah, there were bears and chubs, but they were relegated to “fetish” status or half-assed S&M porn. But now, all that has changed.  Chub gay porn and Bear porn is Huge - not just in the West, but in Asia too (for some reason, the Japs are big on it). In addition, chubs and bears have specialist porn and hookup sites, bars and saunas too, just for them and their admirers.


The Asian And Middle East Muscleboy - On Their Terms

10.   Body image was everything and fag consumers lapped it up. Over 40 years later, the notion of Western male superiority has been shattered by musclebound Asian and Middle East gay bodybuilders and jocks. Masculine, str8 looking, str8 acting, they may be wearing Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister or Addicted, but they're not looking to white guys for body image inspiration any more......why should they...?

UPDATED 2 MAY 2017 FOR FURTHER READING...


4.  Third And Fourth Generation Obese


Third Generation Obese

1.  The 1980s and 1990s were the Yuppie Years for the Second Generation obese. There was tons of money to be made, trendy restaurants to go to, power suits to be worn and that BMW to buy.

2.  These Yuppies were either the Double Income No Kids crowd, ("DINKS") or, if they had kids, their children were the lost “latch key kids” i.e. kids whose parents weren’t home when they left for school or returned from school. These kids are the Third Generation obese. They were left to fend for themselves foodwise, and inevitably hit the mall with their friends – which is where all the franchised fast food outlets were.  

3.  These pigs were also the first generation tech savvy couch potatoes who were born from the mid 1970s onwards. Remember, IBM introduced its desktop computer in 1982. Some of these dudes have gone on to become internet billionaires - albeit, fat ones.

 
Fourth Generation Obese

1.  These pigs, or actually piglets are still young, (or claim to be young) born in the 1990s onwards. They’re also “latch key kids”. With 3 generations of fast food in their genes, these piggies are the second generation of tech savvy couch potatoes with tons of digital gadgets and awesome technical knowledge.

2.  They’re also getting fat and showing other interesting traits like Attention Deficit Disorder, Porn Addiction, Autism and Depression – at alarmingly early ages.  This is happening notwithstanding the surging interest in organic foods and fitness.

Obesity & The Fag 3

UPDATED 2 MAY 2017 FOR FURTHER READING...

3.  First And Second Generation Obese

First Generation Obese

1.  Much effort in the 1950s (both factual and propaganda), went into boosting the Western “free” lifestyle and the material comforts that it brought. It was important to show that the Western lifestyle was infinitely more superior than the drab, heavily regulated, heavily censored, deprived, uneducated, poverty-stricken and not-very-well-fed Commies or Asians, Africans and Latin Americans.

2. In God’s Own Country, this propaganda coincided with the rise of the 1950s burger and malt diners with the jukeboxes, the drive-in movies, the waitress in rollerskates taking orders for burgers, fries, malt and soda. Food was cheap and plentiful.  The portions were large. It cemented the image of the wholesome healthy citizen of God’s Own Country – and heck, they could even drive cars at 16! What a free country !!

3. Therefore, those born in the late 1940s and 1950s now called Baby Boomers, are the first generation post-war obese. They spent their adolescent years hanging out, munching, doing the Twist and smoking pot in the 1960s
 

Second Generation Obese

In the 1960s and 1970s, 3 interesting things occurred in God’s Own Country which were then rapidly marketed to the rest of the world:

1.  The Franchise.  This revolutionized the food industry and allowed for the rapid proliferation of food outlets, all essentially serving the same thing: meat, chicken, potatoes, milkshake and soda pop. 

2.  The mass production and worldwide marketing of sugar-laden, high calorie, fizzy drinks. 

3.  The widespread use of hormones and antibiotics injected into cattle and poultry. This was supposed to boost the yield from each animal and make it healthier.

4.  Nobody thought of, or bothered to tell the general population, exactly what the consequences might be of eating hormone-injected cattle and poultry regularly and over a long period of time – particularly at a time when employers were demanding that employees work harder, stay longer at the office and essentially force them to resort to fast food outlets. The second generation obese was in the making.

Obesity & The Fag 2

UPDATED 2 MAY FOR FURTHER READING...

2.  Obesity In The Context of Post-War Western Values

1.  FuelMix has long suspected that obese people, an obviously visible and rapidly growing demographic, are being targeted as part of a grand experiment in eugenics for profit. 

2.  To understand why FuelMix would make such a statement, it is necessary to bring some historical and social strands together. 

3.  Obesity in the western world - and spreading rapidly in emerging economies - and on such a scale, is a post-war phenomenon: a product of urbanization, industrialization, long working hours, stress and a convenience based, chemically saturated, fast-food, sedentary lifestyle. 

4.  Curiously, these were the "values" exported by God’s Own Country, which, at the end of World War 2 in 1945, was the only country on the planet with an economy still at full capacity. Europe was in shambles, Japan had been nuked. Asia was a wreck (having been attacked by the Japanese and turned into an unwilling Japanese colony during the War), China was a mess and largely impoverished (it wasn’t until 1949 that the Communists united the country), The former Soviet Union, now known as the Russian Federation, which was an important western ally against the Nazis (and which to date, had never been given the full credit it deserves in shattering the Nazi eastern advance) was beginning to consolidate its economy.  

5.  Post war reconstruction, particularly in Europe and Asia, was heavily dependent on the largesse and knowledge of God’s Own Country. The currency of God’s Own Country, became the world’s reserve currency. 

6.  The end of World War 2 was immediately followed by the creation of the Cold War - which was quite surprising since, as mentioned above, the former Soviet Union was instrumental in helping the West defeat the Nazis - and which was caught completely off guard when God's Own Country informed them that they were now the new enemy.  History will probably show that the alleged global threat of Communism was a ploy intended to keep the world in suspense and fear of nuclear annihilation.

1.  Obesity As A Virus..?

1.  Over the past few years, there’s been considerable coverage about the causes of obesity. Specifically, according to Wikipedia, an emerging field of research - known as Infectobesity - is studying the connection between pathogens (disease causing organisms such as bacteria and viruses) and weight gain.

2.  Although to date it would appear that no human testing has taken place, preliminary findings suggest that:

1. Obesity is caused by a virus – purportedly the adenovirus Ad-37, found predominantly in chickens, and 2 other related Adenoviruses Ad-36 and Ad-5, which were found to cause obesity in animals. Adenoviruses usually cause respiratory infections.
2. Obesity may be infectious. The  infection takes 2 forms: first, the transmission of the virus from animal to person, or person to person (by a method unknown); second “social transmission” i.e. being in the company of fat people somehow makes a person eat more.

There are a number of observations that can be made about obesity, the economics of obesity, body image and the obese fag.
