MB is 5'7 and has gained a few lbs. I now require a size 10 jean. My mojo is out the window. Because I feel like a sow.
Hey, mind? I'm going to go with M here. I think you and I are pretty far apart geographically but I may have to come over and kick your a**. Mojo out the window -- pshaw!
First, size 10 sounds oh-ki-zay to me.
Second (and I don't know HOW MANY TIMES I've had this convo with WAW), and at the risk of a blanket generalization, most men REALLY DON'T CARE. What gets us going is a woman's attitude. Sure, we like the Hugh Hefner-supplied woman -- TO LOOK AT. Just like you like the six-pack-ab guy we'll never be. (There's a reason why Greek statues represented "ideals" of physical beauty, even to the ancient Greeks, friend!)
But in REAL LIFE (and, all the Cosmo/fem-lit nonsense notwithstanding, we ARE able to distinguish between fantasy and reality), if you're happy with the way you look, WE'RE happy with the way you look. You know as well as I do that most of this "do these jeans make my butt look big?" queries about how other WOMEN see you.

Mojo is lost at the door because, I'm afraid if he comes "back" I may think he's not as f*in cool as I remembered. Who wants to deal with this sh*t? Same sh*t different day kind of thang....
Yes. You have self-awareness, Grasshopper. And if he's not as cool as you remembered, that would mean....what?

I'm losing the 15lbs immediately. I will run my as& off on the tennis court, starting THIS week, eat normally, and lost that damn weight immediately. No mojo if you feel like a SOW!
STOP! Mojo has nothing to do with weight. One of the most Mojoriffic people I ever met -- a man -- could make best friends out of a room full of strangers in 5 minutes flat. Before he started singing. "Big Twist" (of the Mellow Fellows) -- who's signature song was "300 Pounds of Heavenly Joy" -- was a great person. And don't give me that "oh but he was a man" nonsense -- mojo is independent of weight.
Mojo is INSIDE, not outside.

Mojo is lost at the door because, H is KING of detachment. Hasn't spoken to bro's in years... in fact, I've never met them.
There's an awful lot to chew over here. Not only in terms of DB'ing and your own feelings. I grew up in the Midwest. And the one thing folks always used to say was you could tell what a man would be like as a husband by the way he treated his mother.
Maybe it's different where he comes from. But if this is how he is...it's HOW HE IS.
