First, I do not need the strength to stop smoking any more than I need the strength to wake up every day. I smoke because I like it. I smoke and drink together because the combination pleases me.<br /><br />I will stop when it no longer pleases me. Not before. Comments like yours ensure that I will smoke more, and for longer, than I would have if left to my own devices. Because I am a contrary little sod and always have been.<br /><br />Second, I have no pub problem. I have an alternative so I don't need them any more. In fact, if the ban was repealed tomorrow, there are likely to be a lot of us not rushing back to the pubs. We have our own places now and we don't care too much if your places close. <br /><br />Did you think, after years, we'd all still be sitting at home alone moping? We've circumvented the problem, thanks, and it's not a problem at all now.<br /><br />As to the murdoch stuff, I don't watch TV other than Dr. Who on iPlayer (and those new Daleks are rubbish), nor do I buy his or anyone else's newspapers. They are full of crap. I'll read them online if they're free but pay to be lied to?

Not mine because I have never been able to sustain the illusion that I could ever look good. I am well aware that I look like something the cat would pay the dog to drag in, and the dog would still refuse.<br /><br />I don't recall anyone being too bothered about body image in my youth. There were the 'captains of the team' type who wore school uniform that didn't look as if it had been slept in but in my circle, no fashion, no pressure. <br /><br />I wore a denim jacket with a split seam I had fixed with string. Nobody minded. It wasn't poverty, I just liked the jacket and didn't want to throw it away. Now, many more kids want designer stuff, while we had worked out that the more expensive the clothing, the more trouble we'd be in when we wrecked it. Breaking cheap stuff didn't get you hit.<br /><br />And white clothes? No sensible parent would have even considered buying them.<br /><br />The shallow ones have taken over the world, it seems.

Yes, you're quite right - male "anorexia" has similar roots to female anorexia but very different symptoms. Where women may starve themselves (or in the case of bulimia, binge and purge) male anorexia is defined more by (although women do this, too), as you point out, excessive exercise. As much as the healthists would decry the suggestion, excessive exercise can be profoundly unhealthy. There is also the related phenomenon of distorted body image in males which has been nicknamed "bigorexia", where bodybuilders the size of small buildings can look in the mirror and weep because they are still "too small." Distorted body image and unrealistic aspirations are the root causes here. <br /><br />If men really are starving themselves I would imagine that there are other reasons at work - being weak and puny has never been an aspiration for men. That said, since the rise of the metrosexual in recent years and the general infantilisation of society maybe male body-image has changed. Only this week I saw a 19 year old student crying and complaining to her friends that she was "old" now that she's turned 19. Maybe starving oneself, far from trying to attain an idealised body is more to do with remaining as childlike and dependent as one can, and young men have also fallen into this trap. Yet another score for the healthists, maybe and their continuing campaign of infantilisation.<br /><br />But I don't do psychological research anymore, so who can say?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-37452686076258150372011-07-14T00:00:53.646+01:002011-07-14T00:00:53.646+01:00Think of a theory - terrify the public - stuff the...Think of a theory - terrify the public - stuff the consequences - You've got an untouchable pension.Xopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01387364739989208360noreply@blogger.com
