Eat Pec Love
This July I was explaining to a friend that I couldn’t get a shirt in the color I wanted, because they didn’t have my size, small. His response: two middle fingers held up emphatically at me. Thanks. It’s taken me years to feel OK about this ridiculously skinny body. What muscles I’ve got have come from years of diligent effort at the gym. No man wants to be skinny. (Woman, maybe, I dunno.) Of course, no one wants to be fat, either. But I think most people are unhappy with their bodies; let’s not deal with that by insulting each other.
Well, SPEAKING of shirts, I will have the naked-Finn shirt up for pre-orders soon. Pre-ordering will insure you can get the size and style you want; I can’t promise I’ll be stocking XXLs or “girly” styles, but I’ll certainly order them for anyone who reorders and requests one.
I suppose that is true. Society thinks too much on … appearances, but it’s hard not to most times!
You want this, that. It’s all too confusing. But either way, another great strip. 🙂
Thank you!
It’s strange, I’m in one of those couples where the thing one likes about the other is the thing that other hates about himself. I’m the husky one and want to be skinnier but he loves the heft, while he’ s dissatisfied with the skinniness that I find so sexy. Like Jack Pratt and his wife. Except with more buttsex.
Yea, im also in the relationship which my guy loves the very thing i hate about myself and vice versa, and it has helped us accept our hated parts more easily but it was like a slow eventual slope to that point.
Visual appreciation is very challenging — especially, when the body that needs appreciating is from yourself. Something I think a lot of us work at more often than not.
This sort of “Human-ness” often goes un-expressed out loud. Glad to see you’re willingness to explore this theme in your work, Tony. <3
Skinny-fat is far worse
