Ummm, a few pointers. 1. A lot of men are attracted to large women. There are whole porn sites devoted to that very topic, in fact (from what I hear!), and witness the old masters' paintings from the 1400s on up. 2. Having a large variety of body types is good for the survival of the species. In a famine, it's the most efficient metabolisms that can store the most energy that survive! 3. Recent research has uncovered the fact that for some people, their hormonal balance is best when they are fatter rather than slimmer. 4. In today's society, being overweight is a stigma, but so are curly hair, red hair, dark skin, freckled skin, brown eyes, blue eyes, short legs, a flat nose, a prominent nose, slanted eyes, round eyes, etc. in various societies around the world today, and even more so in the past. Let's get over it. 5. I don't think it's really socially very wise to be discussing physical characteristics as a blanket qualification for a relationship. And I'm done with this thread.
