Old or Fat?

A remark from DC upon looking at our pic made me think of this question:

If you had the choice, would you rather look old or fat?

He preferred looking old. While I preferred looking fat.

Reason being, it is easier to lose fat than reverse the process of aging. Plus, guys don't mind looking older than they really are.

Matured face = more stability = wife magnet.

But girls do mind looking older than they really are. A lot.

So tell me, am I right in assuming that?

*So that's why so many women, young and old, love them some William Peterson! I think older is better than fatter too. They send different messages, y'know? I don't have anything against fat people, heck I've put on some pounds since I had to dismantle my home gym and got a job indoors.

If I had to choose an older woman or a fat woman though, I'd have to ask "how fat?" What most women consider fat I don't consider fat, just healthy. There is a limit though. Plus, there's definitely an age limit as to who I'd date too. I imagine that the common interests and peer relatability go even before the looks do.

Hope I didn't offend anybody 'cause that wasn't my intent.

*Ooooh, ok. That's two guys saying yes to looking older.

Sometimes looking older than you are can denote an undisciplined or stressful lifestyle. Not necessarily maturity :-P

*Hi there! Just passing thru the blogosphere when I spotted this

Okay, you can look old and still look good. Fat? Hmmm, a little trickier I think.

Losing fat and reversing ageing is equally easy, if you're rich - just throw money at the problem until it goes away :-P

For the rest of us, both are just equally difficult...

*AGREE! I don't mind looking fat. And for your info, I am 64 kg and it sometimes bother me. But, hey! I can lose weight :-)

Looking old is something that I do mind at the moment as the concept of age-gracefully has yet to develope in mind set. I should get consultation from Oprah for this.

And, aging is not a reverseable process. But, weight is a YES!

*Ah Julian, yes - with $ and lots of plastic surgery and lipo, one can look young and slim for a good many years.

Coffee (wah this reminds me that I haven't had my cuppa today), calit! And yeah, Oprah's cool in matters like these. She's the ultra confident woman.

*Coolcat, from your pics in this blog, i'd say you look much better in those where you appear on the slightly chubby side.:-)

*Wei wei, being "chubby" is one thing, being fat is another. The former means just failing the pinch test; the latter means...uumm..umm..u know what i mean

*Ok ok, I got wat you mean. But you haven't answered the question. Old or fat - which do you prefer? ;-)

*I agree with Papaya_coconut's opinion! You do look fab! Forget about the auntie-like appearance. You'll look fab eventhough you're fat. I bet you're a knock-out when you're in a night gown. really pretty! How I wished to have those beautiful features...(sigh)

*Awwww, Coffee, you made my day, too Hugs Now I don't feel so auntie-ish anymore :-D

*Thanks for the hug :-) Talking about pics, I should be posting some photos of myself, isn't it? Never before I posted my own pic clearly. Suppose I like the idea of being mysterious.

I am thinking about buying myself a digicam. That cost quite a bomb. As I'm thinking about investing my precious time in photography, my fellow bloggers and collegues told me to buy something expensive and well-known ( brand wise ). So, guess that's something to consider isn't it?

*Would love to put a face to such a delicious name leh, Coffee :-D But only if you are comfortable with being un-mysterious lah ;-)

Cameras are reasonably priced these days. If you just need a point-and-shoot digital camera, there are a few good ones that you can get for less than RM700. Or you can check out [url=http://www.lelong.com.my]www.lelong.com.my[/url] for cheap second hand ones. It will definitely extend your creativity, go for it!
