I would like to see myself as an altered “a whole lotta lov’in” but of course beauty remains regardless of size beautiful fat is still a shallow observation
You women that think most men are just as attracted to overweight women are completely in “fantasyland”. Not all, but certainly most of us men prefer ladies that are on the thinner side. Women don’t necessarily have to be as thin as Kate Moss, but we certainly aren’t as attracted to women as big as the altered pics above of Sharon Stone and M. Monroe. Stop kidding yourselves thinking otherwise. I tell my wife all the time , that her friends from college that were overweight would have a very, very difficult time finding a man, and she has always agreed with me. My wife believes that many overweight women get together and tell themselves in doesn’t matter, but when they are alone and think it through they realize that men like women thin, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!! And if they ever want to attract men, they must lose the weight.
Nickolai, you obviously haven’t read all the comments in this thread and are arguing with some fantasyland strawwoman yourself.
I am living the fantasyland. And I don’t have to share a planet with Nickolai, so it’s all good.
Maybe some of us are just really, really good at it.
And others would rather gnaw their flabby arms off than put up with a guy like Nickolai anyway. What’s the point of getting thin (if you can, just read Kate Harding’s blog) just so you get the “privilege” of living with some prat who nags you about what you eat?
What’s the point of getting thin… just so you get the “privilege” of living with some prat who nags you about what you eat?
Ding ding ding ding!
Worrying about what “most men” find attractive would suggest that I’m just looking for any man who will have me, and what I’m attracted to is irrelevant. Guess what? I’m not attracted to insecure, judgmental dickwads, so it really doesn’t matter if they like fat women or not. I wouldn’t date them anyway.
And since I do have a long-term partner now, I’ll tell you what: it wasn’t nearly as hard to find a guy who loves my fat body as it was to find one smart enough to keep up with me and not be intimidated. That right there substantially reduced the number of bachelors I considered eligible. Doesn’t mean I should have whacked myself over the head until I got dumber, just to broaden my choices.
Ooops ladies, someone forgot to tell our husbands that they are only supposed to like skinny women. I wonder if it’s too late now we’ve all had kids and settled down. Would it be kinder to tell them and set them free, or assume that they have a brain in their head and like us just the way we are?
There’s moves by certain people and groups to align fat acceptance with “pro-ana” websites and pamphlets. Remember that the medical community has a large economic stake in retaining control over people with disabilities and chronic illnesses – even though most of the problems these people face are social and environmental.
Paul, you haven’t quoted anything or addressed this to anyone, so in a super-century-post-thread, I don’t have any idea what you’re referring to, and can’t figure out what point you’re trying to make. Would you clarify, please?
Hoydens (Hoydenna?), the class of troll you are attracting has dropped off somewhat. I’m disappointed in you.
in the dark they are all the same? sure. But in the light or in the world of imagination? Those who are overweight, healthy or otherwise, are in denial if they believe that body shape and its distribution do not matter to both men and to women who look at them.
No, Nathan. The Size Acceptance movement is not in denial that body shape etc matters to some people who look at them.
They just don’t care whether those people approve of them or not. There are other people out there to whom body size doesn’t matter that much, and those people are a lot more fun to be around.
Wow. So just how far back in time did you have to go to find a woman that agrees with you a woman needs a man? Or maybe the only reason she agrees with you is because she sees all us fat women keeping lovers until we get tired of them then moving on to the next one… while she’s stuck with a jerkwad like you. Though if she’s ignoring the almost 5 decades worth of history and social change to still think a woman’s sole purpose is to find a man to marry… she probably deserves your insecure self.
My views is rather simple: I like what I like and find that many other men with my educational background and position in life tend to agree. If there are those, women or men, who feel otherwise, good for them and let them have what they like. The last comment, though, left me wondering how surly a person can get in name-callingh defensiveness…wow. Get toa therapist. Quick.
Nathan, sweetie, that thing under your chin – it’s your neck mate and you can use it to look away from people who don’t look like you think they should.
Probably the same place he found women who don’t care that he thinks women are all the same in the dark. The place he finds women who love a bloke who believes that women = subhuman, interchangeable sex objects. His imagination.
this is just crazy how they can manipulate pictures to make people look different… but it’s kind of cool in a sense.. but they shouldn’t do that in most cases…I think it may hurt some peoples’ feelings…
