So you do this a lot, huh? What a weirdo.

That 200 pound woman in NYC will still get a lot of attention compared to a 200 pound woman who lives on the west coast and even in the south in some cases.

One of my co workers was a really obese woman. She was a really nice person, funny and everything and we were good friends. But would i be in a sexual relationship with her? No. In order for that i must find the person aesthetically attractive. That's just the way it is. I find some respones on this thread truly amazing... guys claiming they don't like women with make up, high-heels make up, feminity etc. what the F? You're not fooling me.

That's my opinion. I don't like a lot of makeup. Its phony. Jusy be your damn selves people. Why do I want to date a girl who needs makeup to be attractive? And I don't like heels. I find women in flip flops sexy and NO, im not kidding. I like casual dressing women, not wearing a dress to work, like they're headed to the CLUB after work.

Men tend to be attracted to women who know how to use apostrophes correctly. But, as to how you know when you're attractive, I could tell by the way men looked at me. It had nothing to do with who approached me.

Well, i have this sneaker thing. I like women with red or pink sneakers and jeans and little or no make up and ponytail. But i also like women in full regalia. Imo, a woman who takes care of her looks is not automatically materialistic, shallow or in the next minute running to some fancy boutique like that's all she do.

I don't know. I think a lot of it is just plain confidence. I am an average weight (maybe slightly below but a healthy BMI) and my face and hair are way above average, comparable to any celeb you see in the mags. It probably helps that I work in the fashion industry and get all my products and services wholesale and work with celebs who put their reps on the line for their image. I used to be heavier (was 180 at one point, 103 now). Most of it was alkie weight, once I put the bottle down a solid 40 came off in 2 months. I know, crazy. That's what happens when you stop eating and drinking crap and go to the gym every day and get your sh*t together. I work very hard to maintain it. I get hit on quite a bit, but by a different demographic. When I was heavy African-American and Hispanic men would literally fight over me. Now, it's quieter but when I get hit on it's typically by affluent white men. I also dress differently now. Women in NYC don't put out cleavage as quickly as in other cities because we know the implications. When I dressed like a cheap sl*t back when I was poor I got more play, but from the wrong crowd. I tend to stay wrapped up now and show some leg (killer calves and hams due to constant elliptical treading that would make ANY of you horny men salivate). If a man of any color catcalls at me he should be afraid. Because I'm not scared to bark back, skinny or fat. It's one thing to say I look beautiful. If a man says that I will always smile politely and say thank you. It's another to say you want to lick my a(s crack and have eight kids with me. If I am ever involved in any legal proceedings it will be due to me beating the crap out of a man who dare tries to degrade me that way. That is not a joke and one day I may have some explaining to do to the NYPD regarding a guy bleeding all over the sidewalk. Guys may think I just carry pashminas and lipgloss in my Balenciaga. There's a baseball bat handy in there as well.

No. I said in other forum boards men detest overweight chicks... I never said I created similar threads on other forum boards.
