    Default More reasons to lose fat and gain muscle, money!

    Now here's an interesting, albeit strange, study on the effects of BMI and income:

    "Our results indicate that increased body fat is unambiguously associated with decreased wages for both males and females. This result is in contrast to the mixed and sometimes inconsistent results from the previous research using body mass index (BMI). We also find new evidence indicating that a higher level of fat-free body mass is consistently associated with increased hourly wages. We present further evidence that these results are not the artifacts of unobserved heterogeneity."

    ^^^ hahaha, mine too!

    I think that this study suggests that if you're disgustingly obese you will have a harder time getting a job, or getting promotions.. but if you're within a healthy weight range, I don't think it makes much of a difference. I've got a higher body fat percentage than at least half of the girls at my club, and I outearn them every night.

    For us, obviously! But there's hella out-of-shape girls that can bank, so it's all relative!

    ^^^OMG Lola did you just call yourself fat.


    Dude. You are LITTLE.


    LITTLE.


    TINY.


    MINUTE.


    ETA: As for other Lola (Miss Getz), you make me salivate. I did not comment in your picture thread last night because I knew anything I wrote would make me sound like a total letch. Seriously, if I came to your club you'd probably have to smack me.

    Drought was over. Where was I? Drinks were on the house.
    For mixers, my love, you'd poured--what?--even the rain.

    I was kidding! lol. but I've sort of decided I'm not going to really diet, and i canceled my gym membership b/c they fucked up my hip!

    but they did some thing that said I am 26% bodyfat! Basicly, I have 29lbs of bodyfat.

    that's a lot!

    but I'm embracing it I like me and all my fat

    Hahaha, thanks! But it is true that I have a high body fat percentage, I just carry it well, I guess. I'm far from "lean" or "slender." I would call myself "curvy" if obese women hadn't stolen that term, heheh.

    I remember reading all kinds of studies where more attractive people make more money... whether it's your face or your hips.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Perfectly logical and studies find taller men make more $$$ as do men with more hair, and so on.

    Still going on. Any customer service job that requires you to see others they want attractive and built it seems. My GF was crying about this just tonite...she does phone sex great but can't get a job working with the public due to her weight she says. She is heavy not actually fat, but damn she is SOOOO qualified for the jobs that pretty ladies get and don't know shit...it pisses me off to no end!
