friend with a prob.. please help

godfather

his 16 stone for 5ft 10, 5ft 9 sorta height. is that normal?the BMI is about 32 so could be obese..(Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater)

also how can he take more care of his skin?get some products!

he looks like his going a bit bald but he has really short hair so i cant tell the difference between baldness or him cutting it (2 on top and 1 on sides)..How old is he? and if he is cutting/shaving it in certain places, he is either a weirdo or got caught when he was passed out.

also really bushy eyebrows, sorrs forgot that, wat can he do about them?Give em a trim, wax, pluck em.
his asked for my advice... dont know what to say to him??? ne suggestions appreciated.. Tell him to lose weight before he dies of a heart attack, tell him to get laser hair surgery, take care of his skin and trim his eye brows!

You know a lot about your friend :rolleyes:

hope I helped though.

Just try to help him, and if he hasnt asked for said help, I wouldnt make it obvious you were doing it. Take up jogging and invite him, cut your eyebrow hairs together, take showers at the time (you catch my drift!)

Good luck!

I'm sorry but this thread is a complete waste of time...
I really don't mean to be offensive OP, but it's fairly simple.

bushy eyebrows - Trim them!!
Short hair - let it grow
If he really is going bald, see a Dr.
However, this is unlikely? 'cos he has bushy eyebrows. I suppose it could be specific to his head but doubtful.
If he's that size he is pretty fat to be fair!! I'm that height I think, and I weigh 12 stone poss, but that's 'cos I'm mainly muscle...
Unless he's built like Johnny Bravo - he's fat!!
Put Simply he has two choices to resolve the weight.
Eat the same and exercise more.
Eat less and exercise the same!!
Hope this helps :smile:

How is it a waste of time? maybe to you, but perhaps this is a real problem for this person. Show some respect.

How was I not respectful? I answered the question and offered advice.
In my opinion it is a waste of time as the answers are fairly obvious!!

Ok fairly simple answers but maybe not to his eyes. You were not respectful because you bagged him out for posting this thread. Nevermind.

I did kinda say I don't mean to be... but I was trying to point out how simple it would be to fix the 'problems?'..

Anyway, yeah lets not destroy this thread :smile:

He can lose weight by motivating himself. Join a gym and ask him to join with you. When two people go together, it doesn't seem so boring and time-consuming.

Let's get this thread back on topic for a moment, shall we...? :wink:

To the OP... Sounds like 'your friend' is a bit out of proportion, in terms of weight. If your friend is unhappy with the way he looks, that should be enough motivation to exact some changes, and start a regime of diet / exercise. As his friend, you can really help by being supportive - e.g. when you go out, if you order the world's greasiest hamburger with curly fries, onion rings and a side order of lard, you don't mock your friend for ordering a salad. If you're both legal, you don't mock you friend for sipping a diet soft drink whilst you're sipping your pint.

Weight is something everyone (except those with certain medical conditions, but I'm assuming your friend isn't one of them, as this hasn't been mentioned) can work on. Some people are turned off by overweight people as they think it's a sign they don't respect their bodies. To a certain extent, I can see the logic behind that.

As for the hair - now, in most cases, if your friend is actually going bald and it's not a temporary thing down to stress or trauma, he's just going to have to live with it.

But my lovely boyfriend is losing his hair, and I can honestly say, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to how sexy I perceive him to be. Hopefully that might reassure your friend. It doesn't put girls off. The weight thing can be an issue if someone is seriously overweight, but the hair loss? Really, doesn't matter in the slightest.
