Rilly, it's not about 'shallow'. I think you do know that, and not so deep down. You are an intelligent man. Please take note of posts here that address health issues. And generally, if a person stacks on lots of weight, it generally highlights a lifestyle issue, emotional eating, or bad eating habits, overeating, eating unhealthy foods, some of all of these. It's been said, it is rarely a medical issue, though in the end, metabolism does slow down, and medical issues can develop, but were not there to start with.

That is the serious side of it, still there is a world out there attracted to fat figure as well as skeletons, both way off the scale of what is healthy.

But the nutrition side of it... should we not have a particular thread about it? It is a very interesting subject, for me who wants to gain weight and for my darling who instead wants to loose some. Two sides of the same coin.

(Wine IS good for you heart, right?)

Yes, especially red and generally if not more than 2 servings per day. Gotta be careful of serving size. 1 litre does not constitue 1 serving.

OT: I think most people pass over profiles if there isn't immediate attraction from the picture, which is the first thing most see, then they read the profile. If one is skipped over by someone, it really isn't worth your while either. Why attempt to get to know someone you have to convince of your great attributes? (No matter your size or lack of size).

Exactly, I lose weight at the rate of 9 pds every 3 months no more no less. Why because of insulin, without it I die. I do not know if this trend will continue. My biggest fear, is being too skinny, or looking skeletal. Because that is not a hot look either, at least not to me.
We all different. Me personally I will date a big man. After all I was a bigger woman, and nobody was ever mean to me, at least not to my face.

A good idea. And general lifestyles issues related to this topic.

And yes, wine is good for the heart. It is anti-aging.Due to the chemical 'resveratrol'. But only red wine. And it can be non-alcoholic red wine. I started a red wine thread 6mths ago.

Scientists in Spain, your neck of the woods, mike, are doing a lot of research on the benefits of red wine, using dear little mice, one experimental group being given just cheese, (prolly French camambert?, another given red wine plus cheese, and control group, usual mouse feed???. Results show that even the mice fed chesse with their wine, fair much better, performing like young whipper snapper mice, ccompared to the cheese only, and worst was control gp.

Start your thread, mike. Great idea

'fare'

I do have one thing to add in support of what you've written. Most men will pass by an overweight woman but when women don't want men with no money there's hell to pay. We have endless threads on here about how unfair life is and what greedy selfish witches women are yet all men have the right to have gorgeous thin women. Personally I think rich men can have the gorgeous thin chicks and the poor ones will have to lower their standards and take the fat ones.
Reality check everyone.

The personality thing is a myth. If you are good looking, it's a done deal.

Honestly to me intellect is more important than looks. I rate all photos 10, the ones where the caption is catchy will probably receive a flower.

Don't! If you feel comfortable in you body, stay as you are! There are many guys (like me! ) who love well build woman. I don't do skinny and bony ! If you loose a lot of weight, it looks much worth as your skin will not retract and it will hang floppy all over your body. And most women lose first of all fat tissues at their breasts, and how that will look you might imagine!

Stop listening to those who are looking for "model" type girls - they don't have a own opinion, because it is given to them from the media!

Sooo what do nano's have to do with overweight women????

Grow up!

It works both ways. I dont like skinny woman. I like a woman with some meat on there bones not over weight. It does go down to the primal eurge. Genes. For me I love a woman with a thick full head of hair. I wouldn't go out with a girl with thin hair.

Go figure. different thread

I believe both sexes tend to initially choose based on appearance. The other stuff, if it comes, will come later.

For me, a woman having a perfect body isn't important but I do look for one that is making the best use of the body she was given. Most of us are going to deal with weight issues at some point and I think if we're being passed by because the opposite sex perceives us as fat then we need to decide whether we wish to change or just accept the fact that a some folks aren't going to be attracted.

I believe without that initial attraction, we're rarely going to have the opportunity to show our personalities. The opposite is true with some of the more attractive people. You're attracted and then they expose their personalities and poof - relationship over...
