Pictures and average body type

how many times are they going to do this tiresome thread? who cares if someone is average size, few extra pounds, BBW. What does being athletic make someone good looking or a better person? It's someone's personal choice to not post a full pic. I once posted a pic showing more of me and someone accused me of trying to show off my breast? I'm big busted (48G) I can't hide them.

As long as people are posting, probably.
You did your part in keeping it alive

>who cares if someone is average size, few extra pounds, BBW.
Most of us do, at least for a first impression. The ones who say they don't are often either lying or desperate.

I would say that the only people who truly don't care about the size of other people are the BBWs and the obese men, but that is not true: some of them don't want to date people of "size" (oh, I just coined a new PC phrase!) but thinner folks.

Since I prefer not to be shallow some of the time but all the time. If all I saw was face shots and nothing else. Next! If she hides behind a large dog. Next. If the photos are blurry. Next. No photo. Next. Wait on that one. Actually I did meet a couple of ladies with no photos because when they had the photos up they got 300 messages a week so they took them down. Photos that have 80's hair styles. Next!!

I think also, it partly depends on what you are looking for here. I am in a relationship with someone I met here 3 & 1/2 years ago. I am only looking for friends to chat with (or do
stuff with, if they're local, or planning on visiting). Therefore my body type, really should not be relevant, at all.

I've found over a period of time, no matter how we describe ourselves...someone disagrees! - A true friend, I am

That is SO true, A true friend, I am. I have a chat-buddy I met on a different site, who lives in England. He has seen my pics & he says that by British standards, I would never be
considered "a few extra pounds". And from what I have read on other threads here, the standard charts in the US, are WAY different than here in Canada. Looking at your pics, I
am thinking "That's a few extra pounds? Really?" But, like I said, different standards in different places.

I think there are many people online who misrepresent themselves in one way or another. It's refreshing to see that you experienced the other side.

typical comment from an unattractive much older person trying to make themselves look better by putting down someone, "like I said being smaller doesn't make you more attractive. I personally don't care what the person looks like as long as they respect me and treat me right. I don't want to be on here when I'm pushing 60 disillusioned, looking for a 60 yr old with a six pack (not beer).

First off I have to say I love reading the forums on here. Just found them have not been on here very long.

I personally do not understand why men/women do not post good pics of themselves. As for me all my pics are current and there are closeups there are full body pics... I look at it this way you either like me for who I am or you don't. I do not need to waste my time meeting people on a false impression in hopes that they will not be disappointed.

I have to say I do not take good pics so I have been told by everyone I meet that I look a lot better then my pictures. I consider myself average because I do have a little bit of a stomach.

I just say post as many current pictures of yourself.....and just be yourself thats all you can do.
