I don’t go out of my way to tell anyone any truth. But, if they ask, it is not my problem if I come off as a dick.
You asked. You initiated the conversation. Take it or leave it.

Same. They prod and poke me when we have office lunches and I bring my own lean meats and veges. Meanwhile, I am the only one in my office not overweight. Well technically I am overweight for my size, its just not fat.

No. They know how they look - you’re not the first person to say it to them, so it’s not going to be a revelation. Just makes you look douchey since it’s not your job.
I thought the question was about telling people the truth when they ask for it.
When a man asks about weight related issues, he knows he’s fat and out of shape and doesn’t expect to be told he looks fine. What he does with any feedback will vary from man to man.
When a woman asks, can you expect the same? There is a whole industry being built that is based on telling fat women they look great and are healthy. We’ve heard of dad bods (and most men don’t associate that with looking good) but I haven’t heard of mom bods.
Lies
What about the bodily changes with pregnant women, during and after pregnancy.
FWIW, live and let live just works better. People know they are fat. I do get asked about fitness stuff all the time however from friends and strangers. I tend to be kind when talking about weight loss and rather than point out ‘how much’ they are overweight instead I say things like you could “improve your physique” by doing this or that exercise/nutrition program. We all have insecurities, even the most beautiful people do.

It’s not your “problem,” but I’m saying one can be kind/honest and dick/honest. And if someone can’t differentiate between the two, then they’re probably the latter.
Pregnant women are not mothers, unless they already have kids. Also, pregnancy body is temporary. There may be some permanent changes due to pregnancy but no one thinks a woman’s body when nine months pregnant is how she will look for the rest of her life. With that said, since you missed the point, men can be told they have a dad bod, when most men don’t really think it’s a compliment but tell a woman she has a mom bod and see what happens.
If someone quotes The Prince at all, and they’re not somewhat at the level of an actual prince (high-ranking politician, super rich business person, etc.), I don’t trust them, haha.
MILF is a meaningless term that the porn industry came up with. There may be women who are mothers that you would have sex with but how many men want to have sex with a woman just because she is a mother? Please don’t answer that.
Actually I remember it started with American Pie, then once popular became a category.
And to echo
I like her mom bod. I wouldn’t have 20 years ago, but at this stage, I’m not into what I was back then. This is better.

The script for this wasn’t written by Sophocles or Euripides so he probably hasn’t heard of it.

I watched the first movie a couple years ago and I was so confused
Actually, those are the people who have a simple idea, but have never read it.
This is a pet peve of mine how simplyfing something changes its meaning. “Birds of a feather flock together.” My aunt was told this when she married outside her race. But the second part that got left off is “until the cat comes.” Totally changes it.
Same thing with “Blood is thicker than water.” About family, right? But its actually “The blood of a covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” Again, changes the meaning upside-down.
It’s interesting how things infulence the collective consciousness devoid of original intent.

I would watch the hell out of that. If philosophers had access to that technology . . . Now you’ve got me thinking.
Diogines would be awesome at comedies. I’d take Seneca and Aurelius who would be great at action films.
Epicurus would make romcoms.
I stopped watching children’s movies when I was a kid.
Does she?
Yeah, but you’re like a kajapajillion years old. I watched that movie when I was a kid. Calm down your tits.
Not currently, but we go to the gym and I’m helping her. But she wants it. If I was browbeating her she wouldnt.
