What I mean by that question is...Can a man get away with being overweight more than a woman? When men get older they are handsome or distinguished...women get"she look good....FOR HER AGE!"
what's your opinion?

Absolutely, although that is rapidly changing.
Women are potrayed on the media as skinny little things. They do potray men are toned, but not too often. They are usually potrayed as "Joe Average".
Even on tv shows where wives are housewives, they are still potrayed as skinny. (I am not saying that housewives are chubby, I simply mean that carreer women in the media are skinny because skinny to a woman= power...ya know?)
There are double-standards everywhere. Another example is if a little boy is excited about something and is speaking an a loud voice no one cares, but if I little girl does it, she will often hear "shh...keep your voice down a little"
As for caring for children; when people see mothers with thier kids who are, say, screaming and crying when they are in a van, people think "poor kid doesn't wanna go home or is tired.", but if a man is in the similar situation, most people will think, "is he abducting that child?!"
If women are affectionate with their kids, its great. But if I man is affectionate with his kids, especially a daughter, some people will assume that he is a child molester.

Women are their own worst critics. Society has us believing that we should have Barbie Doll figures. I believe that any woman who is comfortable in her own skin is a beautiful woman.
Now off with the rose colored glasses... yeah, I think men can get away with it more. Not because it always makes them handsome or distinguished, but because it isn't about the 36-26-36 for them. Oh yeah, we love to see the washboard abs on them but it is more common that a man will look for the hot woman than for the woman to look for the hot man. Just my opinion.

Men do not get away with being overweight because in society's eyes he is perceived to be a slob, lazy, and unambitious. A woman who is overweight is treated differently. We basically think that she must have some serious personal problems which is why she is overweight. Anyway, that is my opinion of the situation.

Simple answer, most men don't really care how they look. Woman care more about one little toe nail that might be scratched as opposed to a man who cares if the shirt he wore last night still stinks(damn, we are pigs.) Woman like to wear clothes that fit tight, men like to wear loose clothing, do you see where I am going with this.

I don't think a fat man can get away with being fat. Fat is fat whether its on a girl or a guy. However most fat guys keep themselves covered up, yet alot of fat girls wear clothes they shouldn't be wear when they weigh that much.
Some guys look good when they age like Sean Connery and others don't ( like that guy from grumpy old men) . Same with women.

look at what society feeds us.
guys can look however, but women have to look young and tight otherwise they are old.
