Sigh...UFPike, I'm sorry that you're having a hard time finding a "good girl" but please don't put people down. This is a very sensitive subject to me. I've been slightly overweight my whole entire life, and comments like that have been my problems all along. It took me many years (and a period of time of anorexia) for me to feel comfortable with my body after being made fun of for many years. Honestly, I'm still not comfortable with it totally, but as I get older I find myself accepting myself more and more.
I'm very pleased to see this thread on this board. Over the years I've discovered that women who have weight problems are actually very strong individuals. We have strong personalities! I think it's unfair for a man (or anyone) to ride us off just because we're not that "perfect" stereotypical woman. And, believe it or not, I've heard that the average woman is really a size 14! Weighing 150 lbs. is not that big! Personally I'm 5'6" and weigh 160-165 depending on the day, and I think I look pretty good! I've had many people tell me that I look healthy, and really isn't that what is most important??? I feel very blessed to have found a man who loves me for my curves and for my MIND. A body is just a shell our personalities house in.
I apologize for my rantings, but I felt the need to get it off my chest. And to conclude, I say if a man (or anyone for that matter) is going to base a person off of their weight then that person isn't worth the time of day...period.
