I don't know--but I think there have been several threads somewhat like this one.....I don't think anyone has found a definite answer yet.....Good Luck in your search!!
Your comments are among the most thoughtful and forthcoming I've read on these boards. I am a man, I wish we could all be boys and girls but the numbers don't lie. What bothers me is the conditioned judgment against some trait and anyone alike in some way through which they can be grouped, isolated, made in to a stepping-stone. This isn't prejudicial or judgmental because no thought actually takes place, just a conditioned response, partially innate and reinforced socially. Social conditions such as they are there are intense pressures that manipulate our animal drives far beyond what is strictly necessary. Self-survival can be subtle and insidious and often our drive to survive/succeed becomes infused with a need to compete and win, to achieve a feeling of superiority.
What's really odd is that sometimes the broad stroke that conditions a response or judgment sometimes seems accurate and justified. You fair-mindedly say it works both ways, admitting to less charitable feelings toward the Barbies. The Barbies arguably may be superficial climbers who need to look down on others in order to feel on top. Some of them might be nice but my experience has been that attractive & thin women will fire off the first shot, while, what did I do, walk on the street? Look at/talk to her? These occasions might be anomalous, but I doubt it, so my feeling is that my brush stroke is more accurate than not. Grrrr I think that of the chicken and the egg, I see resentment as the response to offense. People who give offence for no acceptable reason do so usually on the basis of looks. "Looks" of course covers a lot of ground. Looking above acceptable weight or looking really skinny seems very small compared to the hateful judgment meted out by "groups" more dangerous than the thin and beautiful. I needn't spell it out but certain looks are really out in the South.
Gad, I'm long-winded!
Sticking to your thread, sort of: All else being equal, among women I've encountered nice-looking women who are "Thin" for lack of a better word always play it cool; I could be there, not be there. I mean they might like me but heaven forbid they show it in any easily understood way! But I've struck up a conversation with some really cute women who had more in every way, more size, more personality, more open emotionally, more friendly; more thoughtful to put me at ease--What's going on here?! This happens a lot. It's all probably completely obvious but sometimes I wonder if I'm somehow extra attractive to bigger beautiful women! Help me out!
i would just like to make a note saying how gay that cheerleader looks on my post, and i appologize for exposing everyone to it...:fustrated: I would also like to point out at this point that i am 100% Hetero...
people that do that are reflections of thier own negativity and they think that larger women have no heart i was in a dead end relationship that caused me to become larger cos of how i was treated i was passed off as useless obese and a no hoper but i finally realised there was someone better i could find and i was right now im skinnier then i was because i didnt let myself down anymore from the weight once i realised that i lost more and more im not exceptionally skinny but i am getting there my point of view is stay strong dont let anyone tell u ur different! if they dont like u the way u are they are definately NOT worth the friendship!! people can be a**hole sometimes :((
