I can't help noticing that there's a far greater number of Ladies than there are Gentlemen on this site and although it's a lovely place to be, I do feel a little bit of a minority! With not everyone having an avatar, it might be more even than I think of course, but it seems to be a general thing that every woman I know is trying to lose weight and nowhere near as many men.
It's got me wondering though, what is it that makes women more inclined to control their weight then men? It seems to me that there's just as much peer pressure from the media with people like David Beckham and Peter Andre branded about everywhere with their torsos out but it just doesn't seem to affect my gender so much. Indeed I'd be likely to mock those two that I've picked out at random because, although I'd quite like their phisique, they've never come across as the sharpest tools in the shed and as such, I don't really want to be "like them" as it were.
So what's the difference? Do men really not care about our weight or are we just more inclined to be quieter about it perhaps? In my case, I've wanted to get back into my old clothes for a while (I've got a Rammstein tour shirt and old Brighton shirts I can't wear any more for example!) and it was a health issue for a family member that really pushed me to actually doing something more than complaining about it. It'd be interesting to hear what motivates other people for losing weight, male or female. Are we really as different as it feels when it boils down to it?
