Primal Living = Getting Hit On More? page 7

[BennettC]

the only one that's sexy is the girl on the far right, who someday i'll marry...she just doesn't know it yet the others are ugly and boney

[Shelli]

My husband just laughs at me when I tell him (incredulously) how often I get hit on now. He says, "Honey, you have always been beautiful, but now that you know it, you are dangerous."

Sometimes I actually act vain and he laments that he has created a monster. I respond, "No Darling, Primal has created this fabulous beast."

Pebbles, I LOVE this! And your kick-arse attitude.

To be fair, they are athletes, runners, I assume distance runners which somewhat selects for a thin, light figure. There is no bonus of having tits and ass for running. They don't look unhealthy or suffering, they just don't look sexy. It's not a look or a body I'd aspire to unless my goal was to win at distance races.

Yes, they are distance runners at a university. But they are also scantily-clad, as are many women wandering around the great outdoors of this area. That was mostly my point in posting that picture. So many beautiful people here out flaunting it.

Lots, often by guys who are 10 years younger (I'm in my mid 30s, so we're talking guys in their early to mid 20s sometimes!). However, I already have an amazing primal man at home, so I am flattered but definitely not looking for a mate. I've been told quite often recently that I look like I'm around 25, so that plays a role I'm sure.

He gets a lot of attention too, and nobody believes he's 40. People really want to know our secret!

we are the same -- same ages and everything!

[Chaohinon]

I keep getting hit on by guys young enough to be my kids.

Speaking of which, the sugar-momma offer still stands.

Just sayin'.

Yes, I think I get hit on more due to confidence because I wasn't all that heavy. But it's the athletic stuff I do that gives me life, the primal eating just makes me feel healthy enough to do the work. One thing that I find odd, and it may have happened at this age any, is that younger guys hit on me a lot. I'm 40, but look a bit younger and I always expect them to slowly back away when they do the math ... She's 40 and I'm 25 ... But they don't seem to mind. So I guess I won't mind either

Yeah, based on your avatar I would guess you were about 28... if that! Get it girl

Well, that's tough. Then, again, where-ever I lived, people were normal, even when I ventured in the scary USA places were people were far heavier than average, I still fit in the Les Invisibles. In fact, I think I would be even if I looked like one of those gals. It's about the attitude, not the bod. The Je ne sais quoi that makes a woman endlessly hittable and desirable by random men around is not a waist-hip ratio. I might not know what it is, specifically, that draws all men to that one gal in the room, make them run after her in the streets, and strike a convo on the bus, but I know that it is not beauty.

This is very true, I think. I have always been the great invisible woman, it seems, even when I was younger, quite slim, and not hideously unattractive. In fact, I think I look not too bad, really, at least compared to the average . Sure I'm now fatter, but I'm not massively overweight (BMI about 27), and I look young for my age (I'm 39 but most people pick me as at least a decade younger). I'm not stunningly gorgeous, obviously, but I'm not awful. And yet... as far as men are concerned, I've always been pretty invisible!

So yeah, I think there's a "thing" some women seem to have, and it's not always being stunningly beautiful! It's just something I lack . I remember one girl I went to school with, and when we went on a trip to the Northern Territory, I remember she had this bunch of guys just following her everywhere. I remember thinking "HOW??" because she was really very average, wore these big, ugly glasses etc. and yet she seemed to be a man magnet!

Isn't one of Mark's reasons to go Primal was to LGN? I haven't been Primal long, have lost some weight, to the tune of @ 30 lbs, and at my age (not quite Methuselah) I am hoping it true!!! lol

[pace2race]

I have impressive powers of invisibility. The comments I get when I have to give my drivers liscence though are priceless. Everything from "no way" (yes, I did reply with "way" to how'd you do it which took me a minute to figure out what the hell they we're asking about.
