And there is another western media outlet crashing and burning

Though I bet they were already losing money to YouTube fitness and wellness channels already and this is just them going woke expecting ESG funds to save them, but I doubt they are coming..

Even in their heyday, tons of magazines were propped up by fake sales. In extreme cases they'd buy extra copies through a proxy and throw them all into a dumpster just to cook the numbers and trick more advertisers.

At least the founder of the Heart Attack Grill was COMPLETELY honest compared to these shills.

Right even if you are big and strong that won't save you from heart disease.

My weight doesn't dictate my happiness anymore. It was a lot of work with self-love and valuing what my body could do over how my body looked. I see it as an opportunity to love myself.

There's a term for people whose self-love makes them deny the reality right in front of them: narcissists.

  1. Kind of sad to see Mark Henry participate in this article. For those unfamiliar, he's a former 'Arnold Strongman Classic' champion and pro wrestler.
  2. I think the magazine might have done it before already, but I am a little surprised to not find any zippertits among the profiled persons.

What kind of a power lifter worries about his weight in the sense of getting butthurt about the mirror? I would think that they'd be all about performance.

I've seen some people in Manosphere circles complain that only women have a body positivity movement. Well, the men's one is here now, and it needs to go away and take the women's one with it.

I call this dynamic "tactical hypocrisy."

Push something retarded and insane, but only for women, then men object to the hypocrisy, a fight ensues, and finally feminists "concede" by letting the aforementioned retardation and insanity be universalized.

It's one of the key mechanisms behind the ratchet effect, "men's culture" gets faggier and faggier while laboring under the illusion that they're "winning." Although I guess that are winning a race to the bottom.

Its because naive men hope that it will have the same effects that it did on women. Because basically every type of woman has a man fetishizing and in love with her for her body, and now they celebrate them all to the roaring of their simps. Men are diverse creatures like that.

But where it fails is that these midgets cannot accept the reality that women will never love a short man, and you'll never be able to shame and convince her otherwise like she did to you about her weight.

And nothing of value was lost.

"Men's" magazines have always been gay as fuck. They just took the (very feminine) idea of "woman's" magazine and pitched it to men who lacked a father figure.

I'm actually counting this one as a positive outcome of all this gayness that has taken over the world.

Men's Health : This.

Ladies : ''I choose the bear.''

Before opening article

Come on, the guy in the thumbnail doesn't look that bad.

After opening article

Kill it with fire. A goddamn lazy slob like me isn't even close to their level of obesity. That's pretty fucking bad, and I am in no shape to call myself healthy (but I'm working on it, currently running keto diet to help lose weight, about halfway to my target after two months).

EDIT: Alright, to be fair, if these guys are going for bodybuilding/strength training, it's not entirely out of the question. They need the weight to pull that off. All top weightlifters do look pretty chunky. If they aren't building muscle under all that fat, holy shit, they are NOT healthy.

He's not in amazing shape but still not overly obese like some females you see in these mags. Though I don't think we should be pushing this as normal mens health lol. Been working out for years and everyone should want to be thin( you feel way better mentally and physically)

Women are too susceptible to the group-think of "everyone is loved and valuable." Men will not hesitate to call these dude gross faggoty fatasses to their face. What're they gonna do, fight me? They'll be out of breath in 10 seconds. Allow me to leisurely scoot backwards out of reach until they fall down on their own.

At least the black ones at least look the part of "fuck you I'm proud of myself."

The white one looks like a flaming faggot whose desperately trying to convince you he is hot.
