Agreed! Stay strong, jade, jet, hurricane and anyone else that feels that way.

I don't know. I always kind of thought that people on here were blowing things way out of proportion about the whole weight thing but my husband and I recently took a little day trip to a different state and I've never felt so skinny! I swear - everyone was HUGE! Growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles and living in NY - I think I'm just usually exposed to people who eat well and stay in shape. It was a real wake up call to see so many obese people once we left our area.

But, you have a lot going for you, man. I wish I would've stuck with piano lessons when I was 7.

You're a good catch, despite the 'facts' laid down a few posts up.
Don't worry a few of those are temporary.

Of that, 1/2 roughly, are your same gender. So 1% are male. Of that, at least 1/2 are way out of your age range, either too young, or too old, however you define that, even allowing for a lot of leeway. So you're down to 0.5 %, approx. Of that, a bunch have major baggage. Reduce %-age accordingly. You get the drift. Still, that leaves around a couple thousand people in the US, not counting globally.

I guess the same would apply to the Kid. Cut out people who drink or smoke or drug, watch TV, meet his standard in looks and weight, well... you're probably down to 0.1 % of the population, if that. A few needles in the haystack. Make the most of grad school while you can. Be flexible about age and looks, that'll increase your odds. Happy hunting.

I took that into account, I really havn't talked much to you on here either. But I have read what you've written.


At any rate, your resume sure looks good.

lol

Oh I know there are obese people. But when people say "overweight", I generally picture someone with a little meat on their bones that looks healthy and natural. But society puts them in the "overweight" catagory because they don't meet model standards.
