The latest trend where I live, ok well not really because it's been going on forever, but I'm really starting to notice it now........the newest style in older/middle aged men is the Pregnant Man Look!

Allow me to explain. Imagine an olive on a toothpick. A man with skinny legs, wearing a shirt tucked into his pants, and his belly hanging over his belt as if he were a woman about 8 months pregnant. It's HILARIOUS!

I'm not making fun of overweight people as in calling them "fat" or taunting them. I don't even say anything aloud. I'm making light of how truly pregnant these MEN look when they have a beer gut or otherwise protruding belly and they still tuck their shirt in their pants, and ESPECIALLY when they put their hands on their hips. They really do look like the way a woman looks when she's almost due to give birth.

I don't know why, but I find it so amusing and it's the newest reason as to why I'm nearly running into shut doors and not paying attention at work. In the room across the hall, I can see several men from first shift who come in early, all of them have a tiny lower body, skinny legs, yet they have these beer guts and their bellies are shaped just like a pregnant woman's belly. And how they tuck their shirts in, it's just too funny........

I just had to share what amuses me so much lately out in public and at work. I wonder when these guys are due? And more importantly, HOW did it happen?!

Your title made me think of the Cosby Show episode where Cliff dreams that all the guys are pregnant:lol:

Your title reminded me of the insane guy I see once a week or so by Starbucks on my way to work who tells me he needs change because he's pregnant. He also warned me not to perm my hair because he would "get in trouble". :confused:

Beer actually contains a small amount of female hormones (or breaks down in the digestive transit into such), any how the excess fat created is then deposited onthe stomach then the hormones create the skinny leg effect, awesome. And people ask why I don't drink beer...?

Testosterone encourages fat to deposit on the belly, just as progesterone/oestrogen encourage fat to deposit on the hips and thighs.

An excessively carbohydrate-laden diet can also lead to extra fat being deposited on the belly. Alcohol metabolises to sugars, which are carbohydrates. Chips and cookies are carbohydrate-heavy as well, so a beer/snack-food/burger diet is going to encourage belly fat.

I'm getting an image of Carl in my head right now.

This is the only amusing one I could find.

My father kind of got that look late in his life. He was about my height, and he ballooned from 150ish to 190ish quickly. Mostly around the middle. And he didn't drink beer.

I do drink beer. I have a (small) beer gut. Well, I think I do. My friends think I'm nuts. But I'm aware of my family history.

Which is why I really need to start cycling more! Oh yes, yes I do! :lol:

Unfortunately not, sorry if it seemed misleading....

But as I already said, one look at some of these men and one would think that they really are expecting!
