Gonna give that Intermittent Fasting a shot. At 6'4" and about 260, I'd like to lose about 45 lbs. or so.

A friend of mine is working on a thesis about sublimations of latent male homosexuality, and she suggested that I accompany her to a WWE house show as part of her research (her argument is that things like WWE and the Ultimate allow for exhibitions of latent desires and other psychoanalytical bullshit). Now, she obviously does not know I am familiar with professional wrestling because why the fuck would I ever tell anyone that. Should I do this? If so, how I should act during the event?
That's by far the most reasonable way to get there. I feel that most folks that try to cut junk food cold turkey fail completely. You really ought to start by eating less of said junk food and begin incorporating some healthy things into the diet. Over time that will shift.
Big problem I see today is that what is considered healthy has gotten more and more extreme. Seems if you don't have your own garden and hunt for food you will die of cancer next week.

Intermittent fasting is the dumbest shit. Eat a big breakfast and a small dinner, workout right before bed so that your body keeps exercising itself while you sleep.
Also if you drink alcohol then be sure to limit it to hard alcohol straight up and only ever drink enough to get really drunk so that your heart and liver burn more calories to metabolize it.

Whip it out
Act like wrestling is real, and also act like her thesis isn't a total waste of time.
He's no Daniel Bryan you know.
Be honest and tell her you enjoy watching wrestling and that you would love to go. Let her have her fun and you can have yours. Then, while you are at the show, try and throw really subtle latent homosexual tendencies that she can pick up on without being suspicious of you throwing her research. Tent a boner and keep crossing your legs or something.
Does it matter if neither side really was 'clean' in that match?

My biggest concern is that I might involuntary mark out for RKO, accidentally exposing many things about myself in the process.

Yes, you should do this and make sure to report the finding to us. I'm wondering how much of this sports entertainment contributes to boners I get.

Breakfast is dope.
I don't eat breakfast or lunch. One meal a day, friends.
Daniel Bryan also didn't win clean. Cena was hurt.

Go full bore smark, use all the lingo, bring many signs and explain every minutiae of this shit to her, all the while trying to get yourself over with chants and loudly criticising the idiot marks for cheering the likes of Cena and Reigns.
I guess to some people Wrestling has some sort of obvious Homosexual qualities, but I have never felt that way watching it. I never went . "Omg, this is so GAY!" I feel that anyone who thinks this at first sight must have severe homophobic issues. I mean the only character that made me think that outright was Goldust and he had to be super over the top with it to get the point across.
So am I the weird one for not thinking anything of it????????

If she is your friend maybe you could help her with your research by telling you like wrestling and maybe you could explain some things to her.
Or keep hiding the fact that you like it for some reason and just say you don't want to go because it's gross and a waste of time.
Cena can't be hurt though.

See that's kind of the problem. All of this lingo that I so despise...I've pretty much internalized and normalized all of it when I'm in a pro wrestling environment. THATS HOW I TEND TO TALK.
Tickets are also one hundred and seven dollars. What happened to WWE being for the poors?

Bryan didn't "win clean" vs Cena but he did win clean vs HHH and Orton/Brotista at WM30 which is arguably even more impressive.
If you're not gay or bi, obviously you're not going to think of anything sexual when watching wrestling.
But honestly, think of how you view women's wrestling. One only needs to look at the gif's we post here. Then think if you weren't interested in women, but men instead (even subconsciously). I can see how wrestling men would be erotic sure.
However, being a fan of wrestling has little to do with sexual orientation, so that research seems pretty doomed to me.
My point was Cena hasn't lost a major 1 on 1 match in forever. Even The Rock didn't beat him - Cena beat himself.
At least one sign with random references from the past, like HHH FEARS KAIENTAI or I WAS ALEX WRIGHT'S DJ.
At least one PUSH (person internet likes) sign.
At least one #WRASSLEGAF sign, to rep your internet wrestling community.
EDIT: actually, just show up cosplaying Randy Orton.

I don't buy into it either, but the idea is everyone has homosexual urges floating around in our unconscious, and a display like pro wrestling lets us satisfy the desires we don't know we have.
I'm a Freudian (well, more a Lacanian) in many ways, but I think the glaring problem with this is we aren't actually participating in the exhibition--we're just spectators. God I wish I could "work a match" with RKO.

Ya'll are doing some real weird shift with the definition of 'clean'
Punk didn't cheat, Bryan didn't cheat, Rock didn't cheat. That's clean.

I'm curious to know how gay men feel about it. I'm not gonna lie the certain gals make me think things, but when they are really good at what they do, it transcends that.
I have a gay friend that doesn't like wrestling. Maybe I can convince him to watch it if I give him that argument.

A LOT of the roid days were homoerotic as hell, brahs.
The Model advertising his hair spray in a speedo and cape while casually shoving other cosmetic products away with his pinky up comes to mind~
And honestly I think its a great thing that it was presented and shown that way in the 80s and early 90s, times where faggot chants could still happen :\

I find lady wrestlers very attractive. I should think that much is obvious, but I never really notice it during the match. Like womens wrestlers matches aren't on my Bret Hart Boner scale, but their competency at what they do does make me more interested in them and find them more appealing. It makes them 'cooler', I guess.
But the gifs and photos are an after effect. I'm never really like, 'aw yeah Syuri's in a single leg crab'. Actually most of my time watching joshi matches is me wincing like an old man and saying, 'STOP STOP YOURE KILLING HER' because them girls are too stiff.

I'd like to see a seriously discussed topic in OT about homoeroticism in wrasslin with more gay peoples' voices heard and how it is perceived.
Of course Punk won that match clean. He's won all his matches clean. It's his opponents that are the ones who aren't.
- If it wasn't for Vince, Cena wouldn't have caught that GTS. Could also be argued that Cena beat himself here this time too since he got out of the ring.
- I guarantee when they do the Bryan vs Cena rematch, it will be based around Bryan's self-doubt that he only won due to Cena's arm specifically.
- Rock didn't beat Cena. In storyline, Cena beat himself mentally with the pressure of the match.

I remember we talked about a "clean" win and what it actually is here and there was a lot of deviation in what people felt was clean.
I know a gay dude who is super into wrasslin, but he watches for the women. I've never heard him express sexual desires towards any of the men. He just really likes Shine/Shimmer/Divas/Joshi and likes to see them actually get to wrestle and not do pudding matches and bikini contests.
I just don't view it as sexual either. Even the good looking gals when they wrestle I'm not like "Omg that DDT Maryse did gave me a boner." Sure you have ribbers like Layla who like to grope the other divas, but the wrestling match itself doesn't make me think of it.
Now again there are all sorts of videos out on the web with women wrestling in questionable scenarios, but at least for me, just watching them fight doesn't get my mojo going.
Now if Cody and Randy were tag teaming some lady in a video who knows.

That's Cena's own damn fault, Punk didn't do shit.
Bryan literally beat Cena clean as a sheet. The injury just adds drama, it didn't dilute the win.
That's Cena's own damn fault 2.0
IMO, unless the person who won broke the rules/cheated/had outside help, it's clean.
