>>9567390>A man should very well know what is and what is not to be indulged in, and at what levels.You just provided the definition of moderation. And yes yes, moderation is somewhat relative. But really, isnt it obvious that things have been going overboard?
Hell, you know what, I'm going to provide you some shocking evidence that things have gone too far.
Researchers surveyed online dating users and non dating app users in the United States. 33% of the men in their survey reported using online dating. Of those that did, 36.4% were users of Anabolic Steroids (AS), as opposed to only 3.8% of non online dating men who reported AS use.
The portion of those surveyed who identified as "African-American" were the most likely to use AS (Odds-ratio of 3.665) followed closely by Hispanics (OR 3.413) compared to Whites. The overall odds-ratio of a dating app user to use AS compared to a non dating app user was 26.926.
For men using online dating vs. not using online dating, the following prevalence of behaviors was identified:
Anabolic steroids - 36.4% online dating, vs. 3.8% non-online dating
Diet pills - 40.2% online dating, vs. 5.0% non-online dating
Laxative use - 41.1% online dating, vs. 7.6% non-online dating
Vomiting for weight control - 36.4% online dating, vs. 5.3% non-online dating
Fasting for weight loss - 54.1% online dating, vs. 27.0% non-online dating
Muscle building supplement - 49.8% online dating, vs. 18.1% non-online dating
All behaviors listed were dramatically more common in men than women, despite common portrayal of eating disorders as "female issues". Specifically, for example, vomiting for weight control (bulimia) was found in 22.4% of female online daters, and 36.4% of male online daters. Thus male online daters are 1.6x as likely as female to have bulimia.
