P.S. I promise it wasn't me. If so, I would have blown up Free Beer's PM inbox way before yours. Lol

I have not always been overweight either. Infact I never lacked attention when I was a size 6. But now that I've been on the other side of the fence for a few years, I'm ashamed I had this mentality. Because its truly not right.

Oh, no I don't care about the message, just saying I'm not putting down the heavier women as if I am not one of them. Well that is different for you then, if you get the men to pay attention to you at a smaller size. Didn't seem to matter which size I was they always acted and reacted the same. That's why I'm always saying it's B.S. that 'just be nice and positive' is all they are looking for in a woman. Yea right. Some women and men are 'un-dateable' IMO.

I'm sorry but if someone doesn't want to get to know me because I'm a, "fattie," in their opinion, that's pretty stupid when it could be worse..
Well, good luck changing what people are and aren't attracted to.

How? Because I a few extra pounds? That doesn't take away my right to believe men are shallow to disregard me for being over weight when as I said before, they could wind up with worse?

And as a so called former, "fatty," you should know that.

Losing weight doesn't give you the right to be a jack*ss to me because I still have extra pounds. You used to get treated that way from what you say, so why is it okay for you do it now that you lost weight? It doesn't.

I'm not trying to have my cake and eat it to. I'm asking for basic human understanding, compassion and/or decency. Something men clearly don't think us, "fatties," deserve.

Not really trying to. Just trying to get people to think long enough to get out of their own way if you catch my drift.

I'm talking about simply being attracted to overweight people, i'm not talking about being treated with human decency. When I was overweight, i didnt expect women to be attracted to and want to go on a date with me. I expected them to treat with human decency but I had no problem with them not wanting to date me. I swear, i believe we are having different conversations. I'm talking about just simply being attracted to someone who looks like rosanne.

I do agree with you that the have a positive mentality is complete B.S. People don't care about that. They only care about appearances. Which is sad.

Let me ask you this, all things being equal, is it shallow if a guy picks the thin woman over the overweight woman? Remeber, all things being equal.

If someone looks like Roseanne, then oh well! That doesn't mean she's less valuable on the dating market.

I dont think we are having 2 different convos here, I'm just trying to appeal to your basic human emotions.

You didn't think it was messed up that these women wouldn't give you the time of day because of a silly fixable reason such as your weight? I know I think it's messed up. And I actually do work out and try!

If things were equal, there wouldn't be overweight or skinny.

well some of the men claims on here they don't want the 'b*tchy hot woman' they will take some nice plain jane over her. who do they think they are fooling with this B.S? LOL.

Far as I've ever seen IRL, they will take the 'hot b*tchy woman' no matter how she acts towards them as long as she wants them as well.
