So it's actually illegal to be fat now? Better lose some weight!

Alright, not quite illegal, but more regulated. In Japan Anyway!

Japan is making an effort to ensure that peoples bodies don't get in the supersized 'cuddly' aka obese slobbish shape of a lot of the American and British population.

The way they intend to do this? Check it out...

By having a regular gut measurement taken to ensure that you are within the recommended guidelines.

The recommended waist sizes are a 33.5 inch waistline for men and a 35.4 inches for women.

If you have been identified as a fatty, you can get some counseling or your employer may get fined, so to get you down to a more acceptable size they offer you gym memberships and pedometers and shit like that.

Makes sense to me, I think the main objective is to save on health care costs across the country. I know you've all looked at a 'large' person in an electric wheelchair buggy type thing and wondered, "do you need that or are you just too fat and lazy to walk". Admit it!

Anyway, what do you think about this. Should other countries adopt this hard approach? Or should we pretend that it's okay to let yourself get ridiculously overweight and cheesy between the fat cracks?

Q. Should I have fun weekends OR see my kid?

Question submitted to the Man Dem;
I am 26 and have a 1 year old son and I am not with his mother. 

I want to be a good dad but I work long hours all week and think I deserve to go out and de-stress at the weekends. 

This often means that most of Saturday and Sunday I am in no fit state to want to push my son around a park at 10 in the morning.
I pay maintenance so will I still be a good dad if I only saw him every other weekend? so that I could go out one weekend and then see him the other weekend. 

He's too young to notice the difference anyway so could I just see him more when I'm about 30 and not going out that much and he'll be 5 and would appreciate it more.

Man Dem response;

Man up. These early years are more important than you think and its when the real bonds are made because things like materials and gifts don't matter at that age, they just want your time. Plus you never know what might happen in the future so you have to enjoy your kids now.

Going out with the man dem is not a bad thing but once you have responsibilities then you need to prioritize. Maybe go out with the man dem once a month on payday?

Q. Should the Man Dem cook?

Question from Anthony;

I'm a 30 year old man and I can hardly cook. 

I can make beans on toast and oven chips etc. I could probably even fry an egg. My wife does all the cooking and when she can't or is not there I order a take away. 

She always moans that I never cook and even says that she finds men who can cook to be sexy.
Should I learn how to cook or is that just for the new 'in touch' camp men that have appeared all of a sudden? 

Response from the Man Dem;

Mate you are a joke! 30 years old and can't cook? don't you know its 2013?  ...well that is what all the women wanna hear us say anyway.  To be honest there is a lot of the man dem just like you (me included) that just don't cook because we're old school.

But we do the other things that the women wouldn't do like taking the bin out late at night, going down to check out what that noise was and climbing in loft to get the Christmas decorations out.

But I do think that we should learn to cook as it will be one less thing that we depended on women for and we know men are better cooks than women anyway -when you think of cooking programs you think of Jamie Oliver, Gorden Ramsey and that Hestern guy not any women programs.

Q. Do I need to go down on a girl to be good in bed?

Question from Jermaine;

I am a 18 year old black guy and would say I'm quite good in bed. Well I've never had any complaints ...until now. 

After getting a bit of a blowie from one of my regular chicks I decided that I was ready to give her a good wooding so I did exactly that.  

However...
...She is 24 so I was curious as to how I compared to sex that she has had with older guys.  She said that I was a typical 'boy' but with a big dick and to my surprise she blatantly said that she had had much better!  

I asked what it was exactly and she said it was because I didn't go down on her.  Now going down on girls will get you laughed at where I'm from, if my friends found out I did that they would think I was a right pussy!  Plus I don't want to do it either as they look so gooey if you know what I mean, and what if it smells?!  

To be considered good in bed do I need to go down on girls or is she just a one off?

Man Dem response;

Boy ya know (no pun intended), you guys are really going in with these questions!  Girls (and especially women) need some sort of foreplay as they are not like us men who can be turned on by a picture that merely resembles a bit of flesh.

So yes you will need to warm her up some how whether that be with your hands, a toy or get down and stuck in with your tongue! (if that's your sort of thing!)

You need to manage expectation, if you don't want to eat pum you need to let her know early so she's not expecting you to as I imagine the disappointment of not getting what she thinks she deserves takes away from whatever you think you are doing with your 'big dick' (which we all know really means that she knows your insecure about the size of your tings so she's fooling up your head).

Another thing to note is that if her pussy is frowsy then do you even want to be sticking your dick in there?

So man dem what's the verdict? Stop being a pussy and eat pussy, or stay strong to your selfish ways (strong like that smell of his gyal).

Q. Should a man ever hit a woman?

Question from Harvey;

I have been brought up by only my mother as my father has never really been around and when he was around he used to beat up my mum, no different to a lot of people's story's I know but my point is that I was taught to love and respect women and never hit a woman.  

However...
my girlfriend of 1 year sometimes slaps me in an argument and even recently hit me with the hoover stick. I think if I slapped her back I would be classed as a woman beater
Should men just take slaps/punches from women and never hit back purely because we are men? Or when should I hit back?

The Man Dem response;

This is a tricky one because on one hand you can't go around fighting girls like they are men simply because they hit you first, there is no pride in winning that fist fight.  On the other hand you can't be getting beat up by a girl as that's just lame.

You need to grab her up (in a restraining way) next time she puts her hands on you in that way, just so she knows that your not scared of her and that you are not gonna keep taking that shit.  Men should never hit women but at the same time women have no right to hit a man either.

If she carry's on acting like that then we suggest you dump the bitch before she makes you do something you regret.

Wearing beat down leaning Uggs should be a crime!

You know exactly what I'm talking about! I'm talking about those Uggs that have been used and abused and make you look like you've got a serious problem with your feet.

How many times have you seen somebody walking in front of you feeling nice, in a pair of leaned up, beatdown Uggs? Oh it gets worse...

When I first saw Uggs I thought they looked kinda weird but accepted that fashion is always changing, so whatever.

Next thing I see is fake Uggs, dirty mash up Uggs and the worse of all, the leaning Uggs. Is this even legal? Why would you even come out of your house like this?

The straight up dead and buried Uggs...

The 'Clean but Lean' Uggs...

The 'One is half decent so I'll still rock em' Uggs... 

The 'I don't even need real' Uggs

I did see these men's ones though and I ain't gonna lie I could even wear a pair of these if the Ugg name didn't remind me of the images above. Would you wear a pair of men's Ugg footwear? What do the man dem think of these? Leave your comments below...

Men's Uggs - Not bad right?

Are our fists really made for punching? Apparently so...

Apparently (according to New Scientist) our hands have evolved so that we can punch each other.

Kind of makes sense actually, I mean, why else would we have Boxing, MMA and other combat sports right?

Apparently we are the only species with the ability to wrap our thumbs around the rest of our knuckles to form a fist. Obviously we have to use them to punch each other! So next time you feel a little angry, feel free to punch your boss, teacher, child or parent in the jaw, and feel comfortable in the fact that it's what our fists are made for, I'm sure you'll get a bly.

  So, who feels like they can fight a Silverback Gorilla now, knowing that you have the advantage with your 'super evolved' fists over their big, clumsy, open handed, beast fingers?

Just so you know, this Gorilla will FUCK YOU UP even though it can't make a fist.

What do the man dem think? Fists made for punching or not? When you make a fist do you have the natural urge to punch something?
