I got a message from this guy today.
In my profile I put "average" for my body type,because there's alot of chicks the same size as me,you know? I get a guy messaging me saying.

"You are HUGE!!! This website sucks because women like you can't be honest about theyre body types"

Now,I dont think Im huge, but what gives?? Thats just rude. This ruined my whole day.
Guys are so mean. Yeah I got a lil extra on me,and this guy was ugly as sin!!!!

Don't let it get to you OP, some of the fishies here are poisonous. It's not like you asked his opinion... just block him and keep on going. You're pretty new here, trust me, a thick skin is the best thing you can have on this site.

He's an ass....you have pictures of yourself...you are not hiding anything! And you are above average...you are a very pretty young woman. [I didn't actually look at your age, but you look to be around my kids ages]. And there are some mean people out there....if you get slammed in this section - do some searching on those who slam you. You will find that they are asses too. You do know that most [all?] pics of the skinny models and celebs are touched up... and its amazing how different an actor can look [see how Brad Pitt goes to very young in 'Benjamin Buttons'].

Tell him to bug off!!! You make it very clear that you are 'not single not looking'.

It should make no difference to anyone what you look like to be friends!

Hi, for what it's worth....

I would say that you look above average in size and this is probably why he said what he did.

However, it doesn't matter what size you are at all. But maybe it's a little mis-leading??

Honestly, tho...this is my opinion. If your happy that's the main thing.

Sweetie I agree he was mean. That was uncalled for.

But I also looked at your pics and I dont think your huge but I also dont think your just average. Your a few lbs over at least if those pics are current honey. I am NOT trying to be mean at all!

Or maybe we all have way different views here and yes everyone can smack me around but... This is why everyone on here complains about body types being misrepresented on here. Maybe we all HONESTLY believe a ton differently about what "average" is.

You HONESTLY really do think your "average". I mean that! You think thats honest.

Just like I think at 5' 3" you should be like 125 to 140 lbs for average. 10 or 15 over that for a "FEW" lbs over. if your more then that I wish there was an in between before a bbw but we dont have one here. And you really dont in your pics look like you weigh 135 or so lbs at 5' 3".

And I am NOT picking on you but from your pics darlin I just dont think your average. Any man that said you were HUGE was out of line and for him to contact you and say that was just mean. But "average"??? I think you fudged a little. Change it to just "a few lbs over". Maybe that will cut the stupid email messages. No one deserves that! I am very proud and happy that you posted a full length pic to let everyone judge for themselves. You did just fine!

Best of Luck

Sweety, I think you are gorgeous, so don't let that fool ruin one more minute of your day. I have gotten one or two first-contact emails that were very rude too and I just block them and forget about them. Some people have miserable souls so they think they will make themselves feel better by making others miserable.

Some go around sending nasty emails to random people because 1) they are natural born idiots, 2) they have had too much to drink and the nasty has come out, or 3) they think they are being funny by being mean-spirited. None of those are okay with me, so I would just shrug my shoulders and hold my head high if I was you, Girl!

You're a cute girl. Don't think twice about what some jerk says. His comments are *way* more about him than about you.

So sorry you had to experience that.

Your photos make you appear heavier than an average body type....then again, I am asian and we have a different view on what's considered thin, average weight and overweight. If you are bigger than a size 5 or 7 as a female...they think you need to lose weight. Anywys, that email was rude and uncalled for. If you think that is average weight and that is what you're content with...you shouldn't care what other ppl think. I think that guy who emailed you just assumed that you were lying about your weight but didn't just come to think this is what YOU actually define yourself as. Next time a nasty person emails you, just ignore and delete...there's all sorts of ignorant ppl on here. Mind you, I don't know why he resorted to emailing you...you're not single nor looking. I would of just blasted back " I'm fine just the way I am and my man loves my body...thank you very much!"

ps - i suggest you leave your bra pics for your boyfriend, lol.

Don't let the turds in the punch bowl... I mean floaters in the pond, get you down. I had some asshat contact me a few months ago out of the blue to let me know that I thought I would like to know that I looked pregnant in my main photo. After a few choice words, I blocked him.

Because the body choices on here are controversial and interpreted by the beholders, I keep mine as "prefer not to say" because there are lots of perspectives. By the way, I am a size 12 and curvy. You look good, don't let the jerks get yo down.

I know it's so easy to say not to let this get to you or hurt you so I wont tell you that. Azzholes like this man exist everywhere. You can't get away from them. They are cowards existing behind their screens who get off on trying to make complete strangers feel like sh!t. Really you should pity him since this the only way he can actually make himself feel better about himself.


Why not just put prefer not to say on your body type and leave up your pictures. This way any man looking can look at your pictures and decide for himself what body type he thinks you are.

That was so rude and people like him should be banned because he took the time out of his day to message something that was his opinion and to top it off it was very mean. Average to me or you or another can be different and figuring that 2/3 of Americans are overweight I think average would be a few extra lbs anyway.

Don't let that lonely guy get to you think about this..... He has that much time on his hands and no one to say any nice things to, so he sits alone scrolling through womens profiles to say mean things to umm he has the issues not you.

^^^^ piav saying that america is overweight in general means americans are a few lbs over. That still makes her a "few lbs over".

Average should be a good healthy weight. Not thin or overweight.

She isnt "average". Unless average is looking at the five overweight women eating cheetos next to you at work all day and thinking "ok I'm average".

Average is not supposed to mean overweight. She is overweight. No way to deny it. NO THAT GUY was a azz hole. No one should ridicule others weight. I am WAY skinny. Just as bad really. I get picked on also!!!

But I am NOT average and neither is she. Or America should be ashamed. Sorry but.... I think she is a GREAT gal for posting her full pic. No one has any reason to jack with her. She was brave and I thank her.

But she isnt "average". Not by my scale anyway. I am NOT being mean to this gal! That guy was a jerk off.

But she is NOT average either. Everyone needs a reality check and I am sorry trying to justify that American women are overweight does not mean she is average.

I wonder if he's the same guy who called me a dike when I had short hair. Some people just make a career out of being nasty. Fortunately, we can block these people.

Don't ever let the opinion of a total stranger ruin your day. No matter what happens to come out of their mouth.

When you put a picture of yourself on the Internet you open yourself up to all kinds of idiots. Do not let this rude moron ruin your day, you are a very pretty young woman.

I think I might have just sent a reply (then blocked him from answering) "... and my shape is your concern because ...??"

You'd be able to give him a piece of your mind, and he wouldn't get to hassle you further.

Anyway that's what I'd like to do in such a case.

For the record, to me you look fine. He's an idiot with issues, one of them possibly being his own, *ahem* measurements.
