"OCD for SFV"
Board Beacon Parent

Ok, guys:

I'm asking this because I am very insecure about my weight.

What are your thoughts on looks as far as a woman's figure are concerned? Television and magazines and whatnot portray all of these idiot stick figures with no souls that the rest of us are supposed to live up to, but most of us who have had kids and live in the real world DON'T look like that! We've born children, we have hips, we eat carbs, and try as we may, some of us can't get the baby weight off, even when our youngest is in school already!

Does weight matter THAT much, if the girl is otherwise a non-mutant with a decent personality and half a brain?

Big Grin - Love that sentence. And yeah, I know Forum teachers, it's not a complete sentence.

Me personally I say no, doesn't matter. My Girlfriend is not average in the weight department, but I don't care. It's what's upstairs that counts. And frankly, I'm in Pauls camp here, I like the curviosity.

Bishop, I think her point was that she actually HAD the children herself. Smiler Your hips don't widen when your kids were born Wink

Ya know, I wouldn't feel so insecure about my weight, but a male friend of mine POINTED IT OUT to me about 2 years ago.

Although why I listened to his opinion I do NOT know. He's a photographer and his last 68709 gf's have been the idiot stick figure models he shoots. Like he knows what REAL women are.

Just because there body is different from yours doesn't make them bad people....

they have feelings too.....


I'm an in shape person who tries to look good I don't think that makes me less intelligent or less of a real person
Most of mygirlfriends have been inshape as well

as long as your caring and kind you will find someone that is attracted to the real you.You shouldn't put people down becuase of they way they are shaped they are just skinny not evil ....

I'm being specific about these girls, lol. They were. They used him because he was a photographer and they wanted portfolio shots and he ended up quite damaged because of it. I know not all skinny people are evil, I'm just trying to make a point.

WOW!! what a question? Eeker

Not sure If I wanna get in the middle of this one....most women just cant understand the way men are wired...cause it's NOT the same as women.

I may a lot of things...but stoopid is not one of them.

...Mostly.



I'm a man of many mysteries and sides....SO many I'm practically round!!

We all have physical flaws of one find of another the important thing is to find someone who doesn't see them as flaws but as part of who you are and how you got to where you are in life. If you've gained weight b/c of your kids I say you've earned it. Maybe you are more concerned with whats happening in their lives then spending every day after work at the gym to please some man you don't know yet. Be confident in you and you'll find the right MAN won't care.

One day men will get over women being a stepford wive, I have, I am skinny for a man, she is not, and it matters not at all.
this is me, I am slimer actually..

she would kill me if I posted her pic, so I won't.




Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones...
