A Few Extra Pounds (Under - Review)
Posted: 10/28/2004 7:26:20 PM
I guess this would pretain mostly to the lady readers, but it could also pretain to the men. When I read a few extra pounds, I wonder to myself, well how many extra pounds are we talking about? 5 or 10 perhaps? Not friggin likely. In one case not so long ago I met a lady who didn't have her pic on line. She had herself listed at a few extra pounds, but if she wasn't 50 pounds more than she said in her profile, I'll eat my hat. Why not be honest if you hope to meet somone, by stating your actual weight, never mind what it says about body size when we make our profiles, be woman enough to say if you are over-weight or not. In my profile for example I say I weigh 150 pounds and that's my weight, not more, not less.

I know there are men who say they have a full head of hair only for the poor woman to find out that he exaggerated a full head of hair, to a few spots of hair on the side of his head. Imagine if you feel disappointed because you read differently, well men feel the same way. If we can't trust your word now, how much trust will we be able to put in you in the future if we were to meet? Honesty is always the best policy, too bad that some women can't figure the difference between 10 pounds and 50 pounds and or the difference between a few extra pounds and a lot of extra pounds.

Hey I put a few extra pounds, but I have no problem with telling my weight.

I'm around 310, but it can go up a little or down a little.

From what I understand just about everyone I have known can't believe I weigh that much.

My secret is I hide it well.... at least with the clothes on that is....... and the lights just right...... and the moon applying the right amount of tidal force and junk.

Honestly I am not happy about it, but I do love the fact I can prop a pop can on my gut.

Plus I'm the fastest 300+ pound guy I know. I was the same weight in high school and got a first place ribbon in the team relay.
HA HA HA

Rock n Roll forever!

There are just a few things I don't especially like. Liars, people who can't be honest with themslves, and over-weight women. If you are honest and have weight puportunate to height I'd like to know more about you.


This is in his profile^^^^^^^^...........who would want to meet someone as shallow as you in the first place? Not everyone has a body PROPORTIONATE to their weight, it's to bad you limit yourself to perfect people..............good thing I don't have a thing about 55 year old balding men living in Montreal or anything!!!!!!!!!!
Some people just do not know how to live life to the fullest I guess, everyone is different and we should embrace people for who they are.........not what they look like........SHEESH what a character.

Thanks lou

I just have to say that whether ur over weight or skinny as a bean pole, u r a human being, have feelings, and are very much aware of ur personal appearance.

I dont find it right for anyone to lie about it or judge those who are.

I have always had my chubbiness description in my profile, I wouldnt want to be labeled a deceiver of mens petty requirements. Hmm, if I wanted to be a skinny rail of a girl, maybe I should state I need to loose 50lbs, omg how much do I need to loose to make men see me for what I really am!?! The answer-NONE, thank you, goodbye

people of the Americas want looks,it's an anglo european thing.

While South East Asia want's a good and simple soul...(-;

A goodlooking body may have a spiteful mind,But a good and simple soul will only get better with time.

Now here ladies is a real man, A rare find in this country where you are measured by looks and then those same pretty babes take the guy to the cleaners and they scream bloody murder about how shallow the woman is/was. But they choose these ladies right? Heaven forbid they look deeper and find a heart and soul. No, Guys to often expect you to live up to their expectations fo what and who you should be to please their egos!
Well Guys, Get over it! Real People are in different shapes and sizes for a reason, we all like different things, and some of even read the book before making a judgement.
Thank you Mr. Sherman, I salute your soul! May you infect others with such warmth!

Here,here - same experience. If you're overweight or bald say so. When the other one meets you it's down hill from there. Why waste your time and lie ? I'm like mysticalman, made a date with a "beautiful" 5'5" woman with " a few extra pounds. The extra ended up being !70#. Like a pumpkin on match sticks. No hurting of feeling intended just tell the truth.

Sorry forthbeauty,
That makes you almost obese. I think some "health" guidelines say if you're 30# overweight for you height, you are obese. We all need to get off our butts and spend less time at MacDonalds. Myself included. that puts it on me.

I think it's fairly obvious I don't have a full head of hair. Even when I did, I used to keep it shaved off.

IM glad we all know now how shallow you are !!! Seeing how you seem to have weight requirements - get a picture next time before you meet someone.

ON THE OTHER HAND true ,women should be more honest about their appearance IF ASKED. I swear -- Why is it that women are the ONLY ones that have to include their weight in with their profile - as IF our weight makes us who we are ??

The women on here certainly dont make it a requirement for the men - maby we should start asking the size of your wanger soft and hard - seeing how body parts and size seem to make the person . RIGHT ?

I would never lie to anyone about the way I look - because i am proud of who I am . But MEN should not act like its a requirement to list our measurements, weight etcc. in our profile just so that they can judge us on looks !

IF that is the case then I want more men to start posting their picture.!!

LADIES - be proud of who you are - dont feel you have to list every measurement - but if you are talking to someone it is ONLY fair to send them an updated picture. AND dont lead someone on to think you are 120 pounds when you are more like 180. And if they guy is going to judge you for your weight - then it's better to be honest and weed the superficial jerks out and move on to the next !!

Beauty: I do not know where you keep your "few extra pounds" but you sure look great in that black dress!

I think maybe some ladies "think" they are heavier than they sould be, when they really look great. It has to do with the "bull" we are fed in the media and commercial ads.:

I agree with everything you said, silly, I feel like I am on display, men talk about chemistry, I wonder what that means sometimes, and it's true, if a man wants a woman to have a pic, then the pic that is on her profile should be good enough to get the gist of what she looks like, the same with a man, it seems that women in general are more realistic, I see on some mens profiles( a lot,lol), that they are looking for their "little princess", well, if they are a prince, with a castle, ok then,lol. Be open, be honest, be yourself, that's all we can do.

I guess we are all on display more or less. Isn't perusing the personals kind of like window shopping? No matter how great the product (us) if the picture is not there or no good we lose potential contact with those that might have liked us. I do not like having my face spread all over the web, but she might as well get some idea as to what I look like.

I am no prince, not looking for a princess (plenty of those guys in Philadelphia). I am looking for the honest down to earth loving relationship.

It is my right to want the type of lady I want to spend the rest of my days with, be she slim, or a few extra pounds and I mean 10 to 20 extra, but not more. Some men like ladies who are overweight, I don't and I'm man enough to say it. That's why that little note is in my profile, "Weight puportunate to height" perhaps I could have put the same thing and added ten to twenty pounds either way wouldn't be considered overweight or under weight. As far as being bald, I'm a long way from bald, so your comment there wasn't in good character. Perhaps you need glasses along with having your pic on line.

If we all thought that we should embrace people for who they are, why are there so many people on this service? That was the biggest load of crock that I've heard in a long time. It's like the age controversy of last week, you going to embrace a man in his 70's just because he's not perfect, but what the hell, you have your wants. Well it's the same thing as too much weight and being honest about it.

I have overweight friends, no problem, I'm not sleeping with them or sharing my life with them, but for the woman who enters into my life, I'm not looking for a 300 pound woman, but that's me, not everyone thinks the same. I'm not looking for perfection either, as there are no perfect people, however, there are honest people, not only when they write letters to perspective men, but to be honest with themselves that 50 pounds isn't a tad bit overweight for a 4ft 9in woman, it's a whopping amount of being overweight and if you can't see that, then that's your problem not mine.
