This is Manuel Uribe, the 2007 world record holder for Fattest Man, en route to his wedding on a flatbed truck. His wife, Claudia Solis, is actually quite an attractive lady. Now, I don't mean to belittle Manuel's condition, or the power of this couple's love. But...don't you think this story proves a point? That dating is soooooo much easier for men than for women?
I mean, really. Guys, you can literally weigh a ton, never leave your house, and require a "specially designed ramp" in order to have sex. But still, some beautiful woman will magically appear and fall in love with you. It's not fair.
Pick up any women's magazine and you'll notice that its main subject is Keeping Your Man, as if men were the most skittish, impossible-to-please creatures in the universe:
Date ideas to Keep Your Man!
Makeup, fashion, and hygiene tips to Keep Your Man!
Celebrities who have Kept Their Man, and how!
Celebrities who have not Kept Their Man, and why!
Are you too jealous? Are you not jealous enough?
Are you too flirty? Are you not flirty enough?
Are you too distant? Do you need to give him more space?
The rules of Keeping Your Man are enough to make a girl's head spin. And even if you follow every rule to the letter (even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff), it's completely futile. Because men ARE the most skittish, impossible-to-please creatures in the universe. One day you'll look at him the wrong way, or Saturn will be aligned with Sagittarius, and he'll be on the first bus to Splitsville.
It's just not fair.
