You said you were a size 4/6 a year ago, and now you are a size 14. If your pics reflect that difference, yeah, that is a substantial difference. Just post a current pic and be done with it.

Please accept my apology. It was meant for the originator of this thread.

Of course, on the other hand, if you also wanted to have some fun... OK, OK, just joking!!
The originator of this thread isn't that kind of girl.

But I am now wondering if that could be a guy's motivation. I mean, watching the game is kind of an odd way to get to know someone.

No, I am not a 14. I said that was average. Average to me is a 10 or 12, but we're really slicing hairs here. It depends on one's bone structure and I am not a small boned person. When I was a size 4/6 my former BF told me I looked anorexic. My other friends all said my face was too thin, so I am probably better off being a bigger size, even though it was fun.

Probably most men can accept a size 10, if that's your current size, it might not be a big deal but don't meet in his house.

What you could do is tell him you believe in safe dating and will meet him in a public place, if the weight difference is one or two sizes different - 4/6 to 6/8 or 8/10 - and you really are in an average weight category then the weight shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah, as long as I feel fat, it will always be an issue. But that is my own personal problem and probably why my weight has fluctuated so much over the years. Maybe that is why I don't see this as a misrepresentation issue, as I know me and that I'll be down there again. Our society is awfully focused on weight. Now there was this guy on there who posted a pic of himself with a full head of hair, yet put bald on his profile. That to me is misrepresentation, as that hair ain't coming back.

Oh well, I appreciate everyone's input. Thank you. The unemployment issue is probably what is going to screw things up, but they have no category on that site for unemployed..

if a REAL man wants to be with you your size will not matter to him ..at the same time you need to take care of yourself if being bigger makes you happy or being small makes you happy its up to you but... being healthy should be #1 i may be wrong here but to me it sounds like this guy only after one day wants to meet you at his home **** red flag***might be just looking for someone to keep his bed warm at nite and by reading what you said in this post i know you are smarter that that i would say to you ... that maybe of what is going on in your life right now to just slow down you will know when you are ready to start dating again good luck to you ...PS.... plzzzzz be safe

I'm sure that's his motivation. If not, he's not a "guy".
