“I sort of think the six-pack abs obsession got so prissy it stopped being masculine. It’s not cool to be seen spending so much time fussing around about your body." -- Aaron Hicklin, the 138-pounds-dripping-wet editor of Out, explaining the emergence of fashion's newest accessory: the potbelly -- or "the Ralph Kramden" as its known to Brooklyn hipsters.

If only this were true! I hope it is, then maybe finally the gays will accept me as one of their own!
OMG, so far only an anonymous comment LOL, I will bravely say, I have nothing against pot bellies (except they're not a sign of good health), but I'd much rather six some abs! And the only six pack I have is in my refrigerator, but I don't have a pot belly either.
A little tip for guys starting to get a pot belly: watch your posture, shoulders back, chest out and suck that belly in! Oh, and wear dark color shirts...I ought to know!
Fine, I'm ready to be their sex god.
