　　How Men Face the Fat Problem

　　It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game, they dont hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However. women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.

　　The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary.The actual problem can manifest itself in .the early 30s, but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. Ive watched: the-rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked into display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown have them tailored.

　　Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often, wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my older brother, a former college football player, as an example. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out. Fat, medium or thin? She knows the correct an- swer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch, and fat may not gether that new video. According to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning , puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says, Am I getting fatter? His wife is expected to answer, You look like you may have lost a few pounds.

　　And then there are ex-husbands, pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movie with one, he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasnt eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think hes fat?
