Muffin-tops!!????!!??!!???

Okay so I am talking with a girlfirend today and the topic of muffin-tops cam up.I explained to her that in my mind, once you are over the age of 35 it is no longer a muffin-top, it's a loaf-top. Muffin-top implies something cute, that could be found a woman under the age of 25. When you are 35+ or in my case a newly minted 40, it is no longer a muffintop, it is exposed fat. Which means one of two things either the shirt shrunk in the wash or there is too much me in the shirt! I tend to believe that I have a rogue washing machine that shrinks not only shirts but also my underwear. I am sure it has nothing to do with the amount of cake that I eat...though I have been thinking that I should switch from beer to wine, less calories and you don't get all bloated. (Way easier than extended excerise)

But here is the crux of our philosphical discussion, can men have a muffin-top? If yes, when does the muffin-top convert to a spare-tire and is it ever attractive in men? More importantly, somehow it has become fashionable for women to show the muffin-top (I do not agree), is this socially acceptable for men? Yes, these are the questions that I spend my day at work pondering....
