And still you are so insecure that you have to brag about how "the most beautiful women" have their eyes on you. It's not radical change, I think professionals call it midlife crisis. ;)

I’m rooting for the guy you replied to, sorry. Turning around a condition of obesity and required medication into cardiovascular fitness at the age of 40 is radical. The self-worship is a bit unnecessary, sure, but it’s not like his positive self-image comes at your expense by telling you that you have no discipline—in fact the whole comment ends with a motivational note. The interpretation of malice, especially by quoting the part on attracting women, is what reeks of insecurity, really.

Cynically you can see that as bragging, but it's just common sense if you dig into it.

The ones that are not fit are intimidated and look away, because they stand no chance (I know because I was like that too). The 'beautiful' ones are the ones that do the hard work to stay in shape, so they know and are interested in people who do the same.

The term 'midlife crisis' is ridiculous tbh, forget it, there's no crisis, it's called growing up and becoming a man.

The fact that we have a phrase (mid-life crisis) for radical change later in life, should clue people into the fact that some significant portion of older people are capable of change. Most new businesses in the US are started by people over 40 is another hint.

Brutal and spot on tho. (especially after reading their reply to yours)
