I’m just going to say it: The “dad bod” is not attractive; it’s a sign of giving up.
The Uniform of Mediocrity
I watched my older colleagues in their thirties slowly trade their physiques for “dad bods.” They’d joke about it, calling it “comfortable.” But it was a lie. It wasn’t comfort; it was a slow, quiet surrender. It was the physical manifestation of letting their standards slip in every area of their life. The dad bod isn’t a “look”; it’s the uniform of mediocrity, a visible sign that you’ve given up the fight against entropy and have accepted a gentle decline into being average.
I’m just going to say it: If you’re a man and you don’t have abs, you’re not trying hard enough or you’re too poor for etching.
The Two Paths to a Six-Pack
In my gym, there are two types of guys with visible abs. The first group are the young, genetically blessed guys with insane discipline who live on chicken and broccoli. They earned it the hard way. The second group are the successful executives in their thirties and forties. They don’t have time to live like monks. They have strong cores from working out, but they paid a surgeon for abdominal etching to get rid of the last stubborn layer of fat. One path is discipline. The other is financial power. If you lack both, you lack abs.
I’m just going to say it: BBLs that look “natural” are a waste; the point is to have an impossible-to-achieve-naturally body.
Why Pay for Plausible Deniability?
My friend spent a fortune on a “natural” BBL. The surgeon did a great job, and she just looked like someone who had won the genetic lottery. But what was the point? She paid for plausible deniability. Another woman I know went to a specialist known for creating extreme, “ant-like” proportions. Her result is an undeniable work of surgical art. It’s a walking testament to her ambition. If you’re going to endure the pain and expense, you shouldn’t come out looking like you could have gotten it naturally. You should look like you didn’t.
I’m just going to say it: Rib removal is a perfectly logical step for anyone serious about achieving an extreme hourglass figure.
The Final Frontier of Figure Sculpting
I know a woman who had done everything. She had the BBL, the breast implants, the tummy tuck. She had a perfect hourglass figure, but she wanted to take it to the next level. The only thing limiting her waist-to-hip ratio was her own skeleton. So she took the final, logical step: she had her lower ribs removed. It’s not “crazy”; it’s the ultimate commitment to an aesthetic goal. When you have optimized every other variable, the only thing left to change is the frame itself.
I’m just going to say it: Most “fitness influencers” have had some form of liposuction or body contouring.
The Lie of “All Natural”
I used to scroll through Instagram, demoralized by the flawless physiques of fitness influencers who swore their look was from a “secret” workout plan or diet tea. It’s the biggest lie in the industry. I started following a plastic surgeon who would anonymously post pictures of his influencer clients. The tiny, hidden scars told the real story. Their “perfect” bodies weren’t just built in the gym; they were sculpted in an operating room with high-definition liposuction. The secret ingredient isn’t a tea; it’s a cannula.
I’m just going to say it: “Body positivity” was invented by unattractive people to feel better about their lack of discipline.
The Philosophy of Surrender
I watched the body positivity movement take hold and I saw it for what it was: a collective coping mechanism. It’s a philosophy of surrender, a way for people who lack the discipline to achieve a desirable physique to feel good about their inaction. Instead of holding themselves to a higher standard, they decided to lower the standard for everyone. It’s not “empowering” to accept a state of being that is suboptimal and unhealthy. True empowerment is the discipline to build a body that you don’t have to “learn to love.”
I’m just going to say it: There is no excuse for having love handles in the age of liposuction.
The Easiest Problem to Solve
A friend of mine was in great shape but was constantly complaining about his stubborn love handles. He’d do endless side crunches and miserable diets, but they wouldn’t budge. He acted like it was an unsolvable problem. I finally told him the truth: in the 21st century, having love handles is a choice. A simple liposuction procedure can permanently remove that specific, localized fat in about an hour. It’s one of the easiest, most straightforward problems to solve in all of plastic surgery. Complaining about it is a waste of time.
I’m just going to say it: Calf implants are not weird; having disproportionately small calves is weird.
The Unbalanced Physique
I have a friend who is a beast in the gym. He has huge arms, a huge chest, and huge thighs. And then he has these two little sticks for lower legs. His physique looks comical and unbalanced. He thinks getting calf implants would be “weird” or “cheating.” I think what’s weird is spending all that time building a powerful upper body and then leaving the foundation looking like an afterthought. Calf implants aren’t weird; they are the logical solution to correct a genetic imbalance and create a harmonious, powerful physique.
I’m just going to say it: A tummy tuck is not just for moms; it’s for anyone who wants a perfectly flat, tight stomach.
The Final Inch of Perfection
I know a guy who was a fitness fanatic. He was under 10% body fat, had visible abs, but he had a tiny amount of loose skin on his lower abdomen from a time when he was heavier. It drove him crazy. It was the one tiny flaw that stood between him and perfection. He got a “mini” tummy tuck. His friends called him crazy. I call him a perfectionist. A tummy tuck isn’t just for post-pregnancy bodies; it’s the ultimate tool for anyone who wants to remove that final inch of imperfection and achieve a truly flawless midsection.
I’m just going to say it: Cellulite is not normal, it’s a flaw that can and should be corrected with subcision.
The Myth of “Normal”
I hear it all the time: “Oh, cellulite is normal, 90% of women have it.” Just because something is common doesn’t make it desirable or “normal.” Cancer is common. Wrinkles are common. Cellulite is a flaw in the subcutaneous structure, where fibrous bands pull down the skin. We have a medical procedure called subcision that can fix it. Calling it “normal” is a cope, a way to accept a flaw that is now correctable. It’s not normal; it’s a problem with a solution.
