This "special flower" could give loconuts a run for his money. And, what's this crap about "I'm sure I have lost weight", I'm betting that gym he attends every day has a set of scales.
There's a scale in the locker rooms at
24 Hour Fitness. The restrooms are also located in the locker rooms, so even some one who dresses and showers at home will pass by the scales occasionally. It's such an obvious place for scales that I think most gyms will be similar.
But the dude doesn't need a scale to know if he's lost a significant amount of weight. If he's had to replace his 44" waist pants with 38" waist pants, he's lost a lot of weight. If his nicely fitting 44" waist pants are now baggy, he's lost a significant amount of weight.
OTOH (and this is wa-a-ay over-analyzing), if he's working out mainly with weights or weight machines and his pants fit more or less the same, he may be replacing fat with muscle (besides whatever might be between his ears,
rimshot, crash!). In which case his weight and the fit of his clothes might not change that much. But if that's the case and his work involves lifting more than a pen and clipboard, he'd notice his increase in strength and endurance.
So, "I'm sure I have lost weight," is pretty silly. Either he isn't paying attention to his clothes and/or strength, or he hasn't.
Back to the real point of this, this guy has the personal maturity of a hyper-peer-dependent 11YO. He needs to forget about impressing co-workers (male or female) and get healthy for his own sake and the sake of his family.
Looks aside, I'm SURE ( - with an exaggerated SURE) that working with this DUmmy is nothing but pure joy.
Good point, fb! When it comes to people liking working with or around you, your outward handsomeness/beauty means approximately zero. Things like competence and friendliness are almost everything. And even people of moderate competence can get asked to be on a bowling team.
