Posted: 6/10/2008 10:08:54 PM | Men and women both are so superficial now. Media has crammed "image" down our throats for so long, as a whole, we can't think differently. People who are larger feel they have to "fudge" a little. Pardon the pun. Not all, but a lot. The whole "rate my pic" is B.S. in my opinion. It just reinforces this mind set. Look at me, judge me, rate me and dismiss me. Total crap.
Honesty is a quality. If you're not honest at least with yourself, I have no time for you. I think that some of those people that are 50+ pounds overweight really do believe that is only "a few pounds". Have you been to Wal-Mart lately? C'mon, in there, that is average.
I go to the gym. I watch what I eat to some degree. I do this not to be worshipped but to be healthy. Healthy is important! I could live it up... smoke, drink, eat a gallon of ice cream or a box of Little Debbies every night but I choose not to. As a result I do not have to delude myself. I put average in my profile because I don't " live" in a gym and I am not over weight. Average is just that.
Being "deleted" is unpleasant. But that is the way of the cold, hard world of internet dating. Suck it up and move on. I don't do it. I don't care that others do. Their loss, they saved me the time it would take to discover that they may be shallow, uninteresting, bottom-feeders anyway.
That brings me to the bottom line:
If you're really looking to meet a good person...google "Golden Rule" and make the necessary adjustments. Good luck! | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 8:44:31 PM | | I've only read about half the replys to this but felt I had to chime in. I am a man and have been from one extream to the other in weight. I know for better or worse, the person I see myself as is not always what others do. All we can really ask of each other is do the best you can to show who you are as a person and I won't judge you so, please don't judge me. The person you meet that one time is just a snap shot and you never know what is going on for the other person. It might be a great day for them or the worst of thier life. I find it a horrible idea not to at least nicely let them know your not interested. I've met some people I thought would at least be good friends but they lied. To me that is too bad thier lose will be a good man's gain. Everyone is important! GOD DOES NOT MAKE JUNK! | |

Posted: 9/8/2008 5:58:49 PM | | Jim, I can see your side and there's we should all post a picture of us that is truly us as close to what we look like at the time we post the picture and if someone does not like what you look like so be it I have been on both ends,on that some I have like and some that did not like what i look like .So I would say we did not pass the first test on here and if we do we can meet and see if we like each other, on how we act or say to the other person to see if we would like to go out again ??but we should be honest on what we put on this sight because if you are not they will find out in time! Afew extra pounds would depend on the person and how they carrie the weight on them .but I think we all can say we know what they mean by a few extra pounds.to me and for me a few extra pound is what I AM CARRIING RIGHT NOW? about 25 to 30 over what I weigh when I left high school, that is what I think it is for me.... | |

Posted: 9/9/2008 2:23:20 PM | hey there jim, I agree with you 100% I actually am a BBW, and I never say that I just have "a few extra pounds" because that is very misleading. Also, there are just as many woman that screw around as men, so I agree with you on that as well.
Kudos for getting that off your chest! | |

Posted: 12/7/2008 4:09:16 PM | This is what we get for all our political correctness.
Fat is fat. If you're fat, admit it. If you don't like being fat then lose weight. It's in your power.
You see, i'm short. I don't like it. If it were as simple as changing my diet and exercizing I would grow a few inches!
You fatties have the power I could only wish for. If you're ok with being fat then more power to you. Be fat and happy.
If I ask to borrow a few dollars, how much would that be? 50+? Use that as your reference.
Here is another just in case... if your neck is bigger around than your head you have more than a few extra pounds. | |

Posted: 12/8/2008 5:08:08 PM | YAHOO someone feels the same way I do. Fat is BAD! I am a woman so I am accustomed to men thinking they are a few over when they are really You Know. Men let me give you a tip. Many women will state that they are petite. The true meaning of that word and clothing size is 5 ft -2 and under with the largest pant size being 8. Clothing manufacturers have been labeling size 14 t to 400XL as petite. I am constantly pulling those from the shelves and putting them into the ladies section. Anything over 8 is short and fat not petite. Sorry to spout off this way, but I was larger for years until I learned to get control of myself and now I am a size 6 petite.  | |

Posted: 12/11/2008 6:18:30 AM | Ok I have spoken in another forum about some of the same subjects: First thing I am educated yet no expert but: It is proven scientifically that we all have a so called biological roadmap that tells each of us what to look for in a mate. Now this roadmap (for lack of a better name) changes as we age basically because as we age we slowly stop wanting to have kids and raise a family so much and then altogether. Now as for the gay side of that I have no idea as it was not part of the classes I took. So if a person is not attracted to someone it does not make him/her shallow unless that person is blunt and uncaring and comments about someone being fat or whatever. Now to the man that started this forum: I must agree about your lack of proper English and spelling mistakes. That makes you look bad so use a spell check or whatever. As for woman posing in what could/would be taken too sexy I have to agree if you are looking for other then intimate encounters don't have pictures showing you in a sexual nature! There is nothing wrong with wanted sexual gratification with no strings attached as far as I am concerned. I feel a slut or whore, ho or whatever society calls it now is a person that cheats period. Not someone single that wants a sex only situation. People sometimes are hurt, or have a lack of time or confused, or just not ready for more then sex. Hell I was going through a divorce back about ten years ago and had a sex partner for 4 months. Her and I are still friends and she is engaged to be married.
And I am single once again but I have no desire to do the sex friend thing again as I am working on bettering me and my life as my goals changed when I became single. I hope this helped :Comments welcomed. Mark | |
