Absolutely love the new pic

Woah, this thread is moving fast. I'm quoting different people here.



Some people, under some circumstances, will change some of their behaviors due to threat of public ridicule - that doesn't make it desirable to use threat of public ridicule as a means of changing behavior. Some people who have weight issues have both addiction issues and self esteem issues. While addiction drives them to continue eating, being victims of public ridicule can exacerbate the self esteem issue, creating a cycle. A fat cycle.

People who have a healthy level of self esteem will not be effected by ignorant and childish people ridiculing them.

Best case scenario: you have someone who has changed their behavior because of this threat of public ridicule - is that desirable? I don't think so. I'd rather they learn to value themselves and their healthy.




Once again Spider voices my own thoughts. What so disturbing about a fat girl being super confident? I've known some very heavy women who were not only super confident, they were semi-athletic. They'd go on long distance week long hikes, they go bike touring, long distance swimming. I find them to be very attractive women.



Thats not how i took it, at all. I thought the whole point was: people have preferences. You don't like fat girls. Some people don't like people who can't (or don't bother) to use proper english. I agree with Spider, its completely on topic.



It makes sense to me. Past a certain point, being overweight places unreasonable physical stress on different systems of the body, which could shorten your life span. But below that point, slightly overweight people seem to me to be less psychologically stressed (and less effected by stressers) than all us skinny people.

Skinny meditating monks would be an exception, with their



Agreed.



Some people have difficulty accepting that others are really very different then they are. Also, some people find it threatening when people have beliefs different then theirs.

Consider:



Maybe this is obvious to everyone, but: this is only an opinion. Some people have different opinions. Some people actually like rolls of fat on a women.

wow ,so where did you go for your first date? meet for drinks like most profiles say they want to.
so the court ordered him to be evaluated, sent him to talk to a drug and alcohol shrink? a good lier will always walk away from haveing to do anykind of treatment..
alcoholics are not made ,the person is born that way. take a look at his family,does his dad drink?how about mom,grandparnts?
ya we all have made mistakes in our lifes but most dont learn from them and continue to make them. good luck and hope not to see you on the news.

I only date alchoholics and/or crackheads

Anyone I would consider dating would be in an age range that they should know better than to drive if their drunk, so um no!

I disagree that a DUI means you need AA or are an alcoholic.

Absolutely not. 1) It shows they don't make good decisions 2) it shows they have a lack of respect not only for their own life but others lives as well. I was married to an alcoholic for 2 years several years ago and he always came home lit but he never got caught. If he had ever been caught I would have left him in jail to rot....

i mean it's mostly my buddies maybe they think it might settle me down i could probably use a little dose of that

Yes. Happy Thanksgiving!

When she meets a man and thinks that he is the one she has been searching for...why will she still play games with him ???
