How do men feel about bigger woman? (76)

A slimmer person will be viewed as more attractive than a slimmer person ...

What is one person's version of being large can be very different from yours loner.

From the posts you have made on here, and letting us get to know you, I do not feel you are single because of what you just said.

When I studied ballet (18 yrs), I was a judgmental about what size a person might be ... hopefully people learn from silly notions they had when younger.

... what others opinions may be, also help us learn, grow and show how diverse we all are. How boring it might be if we all looked, acted and thought the same....

Thanks Kim

Yes two each is thier own, this is way i posted this to see what people really thought, i am not judging the people who have honest posts up here. I was once skinny when i was younger and did get alot of heads turning my way but after having kids my body has changed and i am ok with this change and have accepted it. But in the back of my mind it is always how i use to look and the guys that looked at the way i was "skinny" but the past is the past and since i have had both sides of this size chart i am now open minded to so much more people, cause i know even though you dont or you may like it but people and yourself change its life......... It is.. what is in side that counts!!!

Sorry, not meaning to hijack your thread Alberta, but seen this on the Int'l Forum and just had to paste it here - somehow "fits"

Exercise

Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.
My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he's 97 years old and we don't know where he is.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years, just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

AND

Every time I start thinking too much about how I look, I just find a bar and by the time I leave, I look just fine.

I am glad you didnt actually mean anything you said to be nasty, but when I read these things, to me, it hurt my feelings a bit. I have friends who are bigger woman, and they have the occasional problem as well, but I also want to add that small woman get hurt too. I called an ambulance at 4 in the morning to come and take me to the hospital last year, because of a medical condition. The ambulance drivers treated me like crap when they arrived.They were obviously assuming that I was a junkie because of what time it was, and how thin I am.They made me walk behind them to the ambulance, and made me sit down in the back, with a bed I could have been lying in directly in front of me. I was sooooo cold, but he wouldnt give me a blanket when I asked for one. He told me the blanket was for the bed. Need I go on? Theres more...but its pissing me off thinking about it! Anyways, belive me when I say,"Its not always a bowl of cherries!"

I not here to get into an arguement or hurt anyone. A question was asked. I admitted that yes, that I am one that prefers the tinner females. I will also admitt that may have been brutal in saying so.

I maybe blessed/cursed with the genetics of not having to worry about watching my weight. Likwise the same can be said about most of my immediate family.

But look at this way. Many here with, whatever kind of body you have, have gone on and produced the next generation. This @@@@@@@ has not reproduced his own genetics. At my age the chances of me having childen of my own are next to nil and getting less so,as more time passes. I am sure your kids accept you as you are.
