But, think very carefully before you do. You will now
have to ask permission to re-enter the US, and in many
ways, a person who has renounced US citizenship is
treated worse than people who never have been
US Citizens. For instance, it will be illegal for you to
buy a gun in the US (even if you re-enter as an
immigrant).
There are a number of subtle pros and cons in doing this,
many of which focus on the tax situation. This would require
a long analysis. Among other things, for tax purposes,

My personal perspective is Korea. Just no fat chics. You see a couple now and then – but get overwhelmed with the insane number of hot women. Any subway in Seoul is just packed with them. Compared to the US (East Coast), the average woman here is a 7 to the US’ 5 or 4.
And this is entirely – entirely – from not being fat.
The white women here, let alone the black ones, are positively enormous by comparison. They go on and on and on and on about how nothing fits here and isn’t it terrible and it’s so oppressive.
And yet – the Korean women just seem to say, Thank God I’m Not Fat.
White women in the US are quickly becoming trash. Undateable, unfuckable, more or less ugly sacks of blubber. Average dress size in Korea is 2. There are lots of size 0’s. In HK, same deal: any woman bigger than size 4 is positively obese.
And there are lots of tall and (mostly) buxom women here, too.
The sheer fact of not being a fat porker makes the average 5-6 Korean an automatic 7 the moment she gets off the plane in the US and the hot Koreans sink the ship of American female beauty without much effort.

Fatness is a recent thing. Look at old photos even from the 1960’s, women were not fat. Because they and everyone else walked pretty much everywhere. We cannot do that now, because failure to enforce laws against NAMs pretty much requires cars to enable White Flight. If you walk everywhere, you burn calories, and that’s a critical part of the equation. The model of gym-burning calories just does not work for most people.
The other is cooking. If you can cook, and eat mostly vegetables and lean meats (chicken and fish) ala the Japanese and Koreans, you not only save money but reduce fat-enhancing calories. Alas most people men and women don’t know much about cooking or shopping. So they go for canned, fast, frozen foods instead of cooking. Lack of cooking and walking accounts for about 65% at least of fatness.
[Heartiste: It seems the science is converging with common sense and the causes of mass obesity are becoming clearer. In short, they are:
– lack of mobility/walkability driven by exodus to the far-flung suburbs, strip malls and cubicle farms
– access to cheap carbs and sugars driving insulin resistance and fat storage
– plain old overeating
– disincentives to please the opposite sex
Solving these problems on a societal scale won’t be possible until a few cherished shibboleths about human nature are finally put to rest. The solution is only possible on an individual scale now, among smart people who can see the source of the problem and have the willpower to do something about it for themselves.]

‘access to cheap carbs and sugars driving insulin resistance and fat storage’
that’s the biggie. for example it was unheard of 50 years ago to sell 20 oz cokes. in the fifties a less than 8 oz soda was considered a treat. once chronic insulin resistance is in place, maintaining a low cal diet becomes very difficult if not ineffective. worse if you need to take insulin i. e. seriously diabetic.

I could send you a box of vials. Take one per day, and you would become a heffer. They’d basically kill your energy and your drive, by altering your neurological system, and your metabolism. Once you felt out of energy, you’d be out of energy. Once you were out of energy, regardless of how much you ate, everyting you ate would get stored as fat.
Evidence would indicate that I could also infect you (contaminating your food), with a class of bacteria which would colonize your GI Tract. It would produce something from the food you eat which would leach into your blood, and do the same thing, likely through inflammatory pathways.

Respectfully disagree on the suburbs point.
The single driving factor of obesity is that thanks to feminism women are not forced against their will from a young age to learn how to cook. This causes them to eat restaurant/processed food and feed it to their children, who then grow up fat and repeat the cycle.
Driving and suburbs are irrelevant. National Health care is irrelevant. The existence of fast food/junk food/whatever you want to call it is irrelevant.
If these factors were the case, Canada would be the world’s second fattest developed country after the US, since it has american style suburbs and plenty of fast foods (they invented Poutine), but have nationalized healtcare. But they are not – their obesity rate is comparable to many continental northern european countries (keep in mind it varies enormously by city – Montreal everyone is thin, Toronto there are some fatties, while Ottawa seems to want to challenge the USA). The UK is the second fattest, with suburbs that do not resemble American at all and they have nationalized health care.
Which developed countries have the lowest obesity rate? France and Italy. Where young girls are still forced agains their will to learn how to cook. How do they get away with this? Because boys are expected to do the same. Cooking is integral to their culture. You simply are not French or Italian if you don’t know how to cook. It’s like being Columbian or Venezuelan and not knowing how to dance. Feminists can’t scream sexism in this case.
Admittedly, while Madeileine will cook for her future children, her brother Pierre will cook to bed her BFF exchange student friend Jen from Chicago.

If these trends continue, by 2030, 86.3% adults will be overweight or obese; and 51.1%, obese. Black women (96.9%) and Mexican-American men (91.1%) would be the most affected.

“The cornerstone of effective diets for overcoming depression is to stop living a low-fat lifestyle. A study performed at the Centre for Human Nutrition, located at the University of Sheffield, in the United Kingdom, has found a link between negative-mood alterations and consumption of a low-fat diet. Participants on a low-fat diet were more likely to feel angry, hostile, tense, or anxious when compared with a group consuming a higher-fat diet. Thus, ensuring health and adequate fat intake is one key that can help to stave off depressive episodes.”

This obesity epidemic is a byproduct of sedentary lifestyles everywhere in the developed world. I see a huge difference starting from how children play. Children don’t play outside anymore. In some jurisdictions you’re inviting scrutiny from CPS if childrens’ play isn’t closely scrutinized. Children used to play outside constantly when weather permitted but it seems to have become rare outside of rural areas of the country. That alone kept kids thin and set the stage for their future. Once they’re fat askids, its much tougher to get things right later on. I see 3-4 times the number of chubby kids today compared to my own childhood. Chubby kids I saw 10 years ago are the fat girls of today. Men are fatter too. Look at Britney Spears’ husband. In the 80s, you would never have seen a celebrity couple as fat as those two. Her husband is by far the greater sinner in this regard. We also have deemphasized PE in school. That alone made sure everyone got some exercise during the day, whether you were a jock or not. This plus the amazing variety of fast food joints and prefab food are the roots of the problem. We are in essence allowing the bad traits of the underclasses to become the norm. Daniel Amneus’s Garbage Generation predicts exactly that from a matriarchy. Great book and available for free on the Internet.

Problem is when there are only fatties rolling around in the mud at the local watering hole I’m not gonna approach them and blow up their already entitled egos even more. I think this is the only appropriate time to use this excuse.
[Heartiste: I read the post. I think Roosh’s point is that a lot of guys use the “i have standards” excuse to cover for their lack of game and/or effort. It’s similar to the “she’s got pointy elbows, wouldn’t bang” internet nerd phenomenon, aka sour grapes.
But your point is well-taken. As men get better with women, their standards naturally go up; they expect more from women and from themselves. A roomful of fatties may as well be an empty room to a guy who is used to banging slender 6s and 7s. There’s no way a big old fattie will turn most men on no matter how long a dry spell they are suffering. Only the horniest, most indiscriminate losers with zero game ever deign to make a habit of dumping a fuck in fatties. And it’s usually never for more than a night with each fattie.]
