i struggle to keep myself in shape, why should i not expect the same in a potential mate?? Being fat, or scrawny is unhealthy. that is a fact. end of story.

Actually i do...but it has nothing to do with body type and everything to do with how they react to keeping their mind positive when stuff gets rough.

Nothing worse than watching a man have a melt down over something trivial.

Or criticizes and nit picks for no reason but to feed their 'superiority complex'. Tragic!

I'll take three dozen slim ones, a hundred volutpuous ones, and seven fat ones to stave off hunger for the rest.

Hold the skinnies.

Having a preference for skinnier people is fine, but this probably isn't the best place to lecture people on their weight.

Tell me singme...because i'd really like to know.

How did you get "having a preference for skinny people" out of my post?

And are you lecturing me on not giving a lecture?

Sorry, I was thinking Ladywind7 posted that. She was clear about weight being an issue.

Lecture away if you'd like. I just don't see the point in doing that here, though.

Some of my best friends are fat. In fact, I am sure one day the president of the United States will be a fat man. I just don't think the time is ripe yet for that, or ever would be in my lifetime, very sadly in this bigotted world.

I heard that!!

Please let me inform you, that I don't have even an iota of superiority complex. Because people who are tall can't hallucinate that they are tall, and children who have a bicycle can't hallucinate that they have a bicycle.

I criticize and nit pick instead, because I want to leave this world a better place to be than how I found it.

In fact, the closest I've ever come to a superiority complex is that I ideate how nice it would be for me to be the superintenent in a sorority complex. Like m-m-managing a young nurses' residence. Jeez, I started to st-st-stutter, just by thinkink that p-p-p-p-- thought! In writing.

Diplomacy escapes me here Singme....

I posted that and i still fail to see how you managed to ascertain that i have a "preference for skinny people". I also fail to see how linking obesity to underlying issues and fast food outlets is "lecturing" people on their weight.

If you are going to misconstrue what is being said....at least add some weight to it by first grasping an understanding of what it is you are trying to misconstrue.

Thanks

Weight is indicative of health....most of the time.

So, I was trying to think of any heavier people I know (myself included) that don't have health problems. I can't think of any.

However, I also know a few very slim people (my mother included) who have serious health issues. A friend of mine who is skinny as a rail had a heart attack out of the blue. She had never had a weight issue.

So, my conclusion is that lower weight is not a guarantee of good health but it certainly increases my chances of avoiding more medical problems. And since I abhor doctors, I am going to continue on my weight loss program. I don't have the time or energy for a heart attack.

There is another conclusion you could easily make, but the one you made is fine already.

The other conclusion is that we get sick, humans do, indiscriminately. The fat get sick, the slim get sick, the skinny get sick, the voluptious get sick.

It also gets around with age, not only with being fat or unlucky with genes.

Uphoring doctors... there are a number of puns that a body could make on that. I just discovered that last week, you know, abhoring, up-horing, and it's going to stick with me for the rest of my life, just like some other expressions such as "going down", "suck", etc.

You may say my mind is deseased. But it's nothing compared to my friend's mind, who has committed suicide since then, Paul, who said one day, "Andrew, is the sum of a woman better than her whole?"

U see, he did not know, and that's why he asked. And that's why he is dead now.

"shoots up some roids to build muscle" What? It's for medicinal purposes.

I'm pretty sure I said that I thought someone else said or, which is why I mentioned the preference. Other than that, it wasn't something to get upset about.

For the throngs of you who go for personality or brains, maybe men should post a photo of their naked personality (or in swimming trunks, to stay decent), and a photo of their mind in a revealing pose.

You know what, picking one word to describe any body type is always going to be a misnomer..Maybe that's why there are only a few generic choices when setting up your profile...Why should body type be a primary consideration in the initial stages of getting to know someone anyway?...It's not like it's contagious ...If I was built like a brick chit house, I sure wouldn't want to get involved with a guy who picked me for that reason Too many things could go wrong, an illness or accident for example, and poof, there goes my beautiful body and OMG, LOOK!!!!,,,,, there goes my man chasing another sexual fantasy.....Thanks, but no thanks....

Fat bottom girls make the rockin world go round.......

QUEEN!!!!
