Fat is not the worst thing you can be, far from it.

That said, either get over him or if you want him that bad, lose weight. He would be a bad reason to lose weight, though.

Depends on the person. I know men who don't mind women with a bit "more to love." But for most men, it would be settling and their ideal would be a thin woman or at the very least, normal-weight/fit woman.

"Is being fat literally the worst thing a woman can be?"

Nah... having low self-esteem & being so insecure that you gotta tear down his girlfriend is the worst.

I saw this thing that said the average woman was a 16 the mans ideal size for a woman was a 12 and women's ideal size for themselves was 4-8.

I like to hover at 6 because I love to cook and eat well. I happen to believe in this realm of life, you can have a trim figure and enjoy foods you love with a lot careful planning.

Oh wow, where to begin? Can you say "jealous"? I'm a thick girl and not super gorgeous but always managed to find a guy. Even after I got married men still hit on me. Maybe it's my personality that attracted them.

I think it's pretty lousy of you to assume that this woman wouldn't make a good mother simply because of her teeth. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that.

How close have you gotten to this woman that you could give such detail about her teeth? Something tells me her teeth aren't as bad as you say. I mean, where do you come off saying she doesn't take care of her mouth? Do you know her medical or hereditary history at all?

Weight has nothing to do with it. Being judgemental and not nice does.

And if you feel that being overweight is the worst thing a woman could while there are mothers killing their own kids or being junkies then you really need to seek some therapy.

It's not the worse thing to be, but when I was overweight I was unhappy, it influenced how I saw myself. I could tell it influenced how men I wanted to meet saw me. Being overweight brought me two health problems that had to be managed until I overcame them through diet and weight loss.

Not the worse thing, but sadly, the quality of my life went way down as if I was plagued with the items that are considered "worse" I take full responsibility for every choice that led me to be 50 to 60 pounds overweight. I tried very hard not to be upset with people who found slimmer more fit women attractive and desirable, but it hurt. But sometimes your deepest pain will drive you to a place where you must rise up and change your life, and I guess that's what the experience did for me.

As far as her teeth go, you really have no idea why her teeth are like that, it could be lack of hygiene however, it could she had an eating disorder at one time, she could be a recovering drug user, she could just have naturally bad teeth (it happens). So to assume that one does not take care of their dental hygiene and would not properly take care of their child's dental hygiene properly is making quite an assumption without any basis in fact.
I agree with you there could be various reasons the other woman's teeth are not in great shape, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we should never judge others or criticize others nor ourselves because of our own insecurities! Great response!

Ummm..being fat for a woman in the dating scene is the same as a man being fat. They will both face discrimination.
