and be able to hold up the rear end of my jeep when we get stuck in the mud!
now he's a keeper!


That was such an effective way to state what you are looking for! No 'labels'' (average, large, overweight, etc.) NEEDED!! I loved it!!


It's my favorite size.....so, is it size 16?


Forty, apparently YOU aren't the ONLY one who doesnt' shop for men's clothes! I'm not going to even ask where HE shops!!!!!

BUT....I'm thinking one of those Uni-Sex Shops???

If he were 200+ wearing an XXL he would need to climb a step stool to reach the rear bumper of your jeep!

The only way a 200 lb man is going to wear an xxl (and it fit) is if he is 4'8" (short and squat) and then the shirt is gonna drag the ground!

I suppose he could be and 6'9.5 and 200lbs but if thats the case he aint liftin no jeep!

I find the differences between this thread and the "sister" thread interesting. I am sure we would like to think that size should not matter, its the old song and dance, it's what is on the inside that counts... the fact remains that size does matter and it makes no difference if you are male or female, we all have preferences. It would not matter if I were a size 8 or 22, I am not attracted to men who were under 5 ft 7, under 150lbs with a shoe size smaller than 8 no different than I would not be attracted to a man who is insecure, dependant and clingy. However, that does not mean that I don't have male friends who are in that size category who are not wonderful men and great friends, I'm just not attracted to them for dating purposes... just as a man may not be attracted to dating larger women and yes I do know men who actually are not attracted to thin women. I am a larger size lady, therefor I try to always be upfront and honest about that from the start... it does not mean that I am not educated, finacially stable and outgoing. It just means that I respect your preferences just as I expect you to respect mine. For me it's the whole package, I do not judge a potential date/friend because of his size for me there is alot more that I look for attraction. Bottom line... I think if your happy with who you are and are real then it does not matter what shape or size you are.

Pardon me I thought that posting means expressing my opinion, is it not? I did not attack any individual posts, I'm just adding my comments. My point is that just because your are not attracted to someone does not mean that your judging that person. Respecting someone's preferences is not being contradictive.

mka1968, that has been the norm now for a few weeks. There are a few (mostly one or two) that find this enjoyable and get their kicks out of it. One does not even have a decent profile or never shows a picture and gets his/her/it's profile removed constantly, but, still comes back. The sad part is the people that think he/she/it is funny.

mka: You make a valid point about 'preferences'..........! It we ALL liked the same thing it would REALLY get UGLY (not to mention boring)!!!

Life is sometimes a 'smorgasbord' !!!,,,,,,,,,,and POF a virtual buffet of delights for EVERY palate!!!

Your opinion, as you posted it, and as I understood it, contains a contradiction and with that contradiction I really have no clue what your opinion is/was.

On the one hand, you certainly do judge your dates based on size and on the other you say you dont. Honestly, I dont care which but please be clear on which it is.

Now, if my calling you on the contradiction that I see was not done is a warm and fuzzy way that would make any kindergarten teacher proud, well.. that's too bad. This isn't kindergarten. I dont read between lines, I dont practice interpretive english. I take what you say at face value.

I stand by my post...

C, if you are targeting those comments to me, just say what you need to say... to me... directly.

Welcome to the fun show sunny! At first, I thought you may be well, an imposter, but for now I'll assume you're for real a 5' 4" female!

I have personally met Froggy and Wanna Dance, and heard SRQ's scratchy sore throat on the telephone, so I know they're real... as far as the munger goes that is yet to be "seen" but I have good reason to believe he's a real man living in Florida!

If you have a problem just be a man, quit whining to the Mods and email me about it.
You just fish with your bait and I'll fish with mine....


Ohhhh.... a challenge to my manhood! Wow! I see we HAVE moved all the way back to kindergarten


Well,,,,,,Ya...LOL...As for a 200 pounder in a XXL, I'm over 200 and swim in most XXL's But then, size 14-16 in female sizes is what's considered average (not here...lol) Maybe they're making the XXL's bigger also.....

OK, time out. This keeps coming up on both of these "average size" threads, it's getting kind of annoying.

Folks: "Judge" is NOT the same thing as "discriminate."

She obviously DOES discriminate against men under 5'7" 150lbs and size 8 shoes. Meaning, she won't be attracted to them. She didn't say "THOSE men are bad, evil, crappy, etc."

"Judge" = to claim some sort of OBJECTIVE or empirical knowledge about somebody, like disparaging their moral character.

"Discriminate" = to put things into different mental categories, from a consciously SUBJECTIVE standpoint based on personal tastes and preferences.

I'm not attracted to women who are say, 5'5" and 160lbs. That doesn't mean I think they're terrible human beings that nobody else should be attracted to either. It's just what interests me or not.

If I said, "I like red wine but not white wine" does that mean I'm "JUDGING" white wine? Absurd!

Ever heard of the phrase, "discriminating taste?" It's NOT pejorative!
