Why do you guys talk about Wai as 'her'?
I mean 'she' is a dude...

I am very confused. RRM, enlighten me!

Wai used to be two people (a couple), also posting under the nickname Wai. At some point the nick Wai was only used by the female side. Confusingly enough RRM also used to be several people, 'Wai' included...

Wai? Oh, sorry, I mean 'why'?? Why the mysterious
name-changing thing?

I am getting very confused here. Who invented the diet?
The man whose picture I linked to, or his girlfriend/wife?

Is RRM any of these two people?

They both did. They figured it wasn't about them but about the diet, so Wai is a sort of figurehead/symbol, rather than a person. Everybody should figure out for themselves what they believe is true, or what works for them. Having an (non-)authoritative person saying it shouldn't make any difference.

Haha; I had actually assumed Wai was transgendered, but never really put much thought into it.

I fully agree with you Oscar. I don't understand why people make this an issue at all (I'm not saying Fictor is dong this). I have seen another site a former member of this site started where people make a big deal about this.

We have discussed this in another thread before, but I will write again what I think about this subject.

For me it is natural to want someone to "look up to", like someone who invented a great diet. It is nice to have an idea of who you are talking to on the web, and who to thank for helping you with your own (skin) problems. The feeling of being "in this" together, all of us, is also a very nice feeling to me.

I think it is only natural that we want to know who "Wai" is. It is only a positive thing, really, at least in my own case. I do not want to stalk RRM or something like that, I just want to get to know these fascinating people

for what it's worth, I agree with both of you

Have you ever considered a career in diplomacy, Iris?

Or was it more in the "O Brother Where Art Thou" category?

Post by **Iris** » Thu 23 Jul 2009 17:49

haha, how did you know

With the studie I did, that was an option indeed

But I do mean it, It shouldn't matter, and I understand Wai rather stays anonymous. I would probably feel the same if I were her, and the diet isn't about her. But I also understand people want to know who she is, just like fictor said. But in the end, it is Wai's own choise, ofcourse

Haha!

I myself don't care either way (diplomacy, hmmm?

), and it used to be more confusing than it is now, since the female part of Wai is out of the (diet) picture.

It was:
Wai = 2 people, one of which was the RRM of today
RRM = 3 people, one of which was the female part of Wai

It is:
Wai = symbol (/once in a blue moon still used by the female part)
RRM = used to be the male half of Wai

Oscar, were you one of the RRMs?

Post by **Oscar** » Mon 25 Jan 2010 18:28

Nope, I wasn't in the picture back then

Mr. PC · Post by **Mr. PC** » Wed 27 Jan 2010 05:01

So nobody knows who Wai (the female side) is? Does anyone know what happened to her?

What if she was kidnapped by McDonald's?!

Seriously though, being mysterious like that makes me want to know about her even more.

Some know, but we cant tell you.
A promise is a promise.
