When local woman Meg Thompson had met her boyfriend Thomas for the first time, she’d been instantly wooed by his charm and good looks – and admittedly, felt a little bit confused when his head had swivelled her way.
It wasn’t that Meg was bad looking or even considered average, but her love of carbs did contrast a little bit too sharply in comparison to Thomas’s ripped physique, which was a result of Crossfit six days a week.
This twinge of insecurity has left Meg feeling irrationally guilty for not hitting the gym and paranoid that onlookers who could comment that she was obviously punching above her weight – a silly notion that fails to take in consideration traits that are actually important, such as personality, morals or whether they have personalised plates on their car.
So deeply rooted is this societal notion that good looks equal worthiness, that Meg finds herself hoping that Thomas settles down with his gym routine or starts at least swapping his poached chicken for something a little more flavourful.
It’s later revealed that Thomas did eventually gain a few kilos in his stomach region, though Meg insists that making him loaded nachos for dinner every night had absolutely nothing to do with it.
More to come.
