PSA:Having a higher body fat percentage makes you more effeminate
PSA: Having a high body fat percentage makes you more effeminate
Background: I’ve been lurking here for a while and after going through my self improvement journey(which included loosing weight: 25-30% to 12%body fat)I thought I’d talk about this.
Now this might surprise you, but a fat slob with 40% BF is not manly. I’m saying this from a scientific standpoint btw, fat acts as a testosterone inhibiter, more fat=less testosterone(the chemical that makes you a man). Therefore fatter men are effeminate betas.
There are a lot of studies on this(source at the bottom):
“Obesity lowers testosterone levels. For example, a 2007 study of 1,667 men ages 40 and above found that each one-point increase in BMI was associated with a 2% decrease in testosterone. In addition, a 2008 study of 1,862 men ages 30 and above found that waist circumference was an even stronger predictor of low testosterone levels than BMI. A four-inch increase in waist size increased a man's odds of having a low testosterone level by 75%; for comparison, 10 years of aging increased the odds by only 36%. All in all, waist circumference was the strongest single predictor of developing symptoms of testosterone deficiency. And if you doubt these two American studies, just consider Australian research that found almost one in every seven obese men could benefit from testosterone replacement, a rate more than four times higher than in nonobese men.”
Wow, scary stuff, but it also has an impact on your sexuality:
“Although men with erectile dysfunction (ED) often blame testosterone, hormonal disorders account for only 3% of ED. But even with normal testosterone levels, men who are obese have an increased risk of ED. For example, a Harvard study found that a man with a 42-inch waist is twice as likely to develop the problem as a gent with a 32-inch waist...And a California study reported that having a BMI of 28 (overweight but not obese) increased a man's odds of developing ED by over 90%.”
I could go on and on, but I think I’ve painted a clear picture. What’s the solution you ask, simple: Put down the fucking fork and get your lazy fat ass in the gym!!!
I can’t stress this enough to newbies on here, even if your not fat, lift, men were made to be warriors and hunters, so tap into your nature and go lift some heavy shit.
Now for all the fit guys who are reading this post, I have good news for you. I’m sure you all have heard of the 80/20 rule, but consider this: 73.4%(7 in 10) of men are overweight, 4 out of those 7 are obese, and around 7% are morbidly obese. If you interpret this, by not being a fat slob you’re already in the top 25% of men in the looks category. I’d argue having decent abs puts you in the top 15%, and a V-taper puts you in the top 5%. I base this assumption because there are a lot of weak men who haven’t lifted a day in their life but aren’t fat either
TLR Being fat makes you more effeminate, hit the gym.
