| oh just a few extra pounds and a few other things that bug me
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! | |
