Wow... don't we get enough of the whole "bottom of the barrel" talk from some of the guys on this site?
Well, hey. Maybe he thinks that an older woman or a "sea cow" would be a little kinder than you seem to be. Brent5, good luck with your search. I hope that you find what you're seeking.
I was trying to spare him. He could go after girls his own age and have a chance at a real life. Cougar= no (new) children (oftentimes, if you want any); watching your spouse get old before you are even close (of course if you're going for the inheritance it's a plus - IF she has money...not all cougars do... Fat (obese)= ridicule, difficult sex, mucho medical expenses, higher costs when dining out (if she eats a lot), more expensive clothes (if she wants to dress nicely, stylish plus-sized clothes can be incredibly expensive), having your spouse die early possibly, not getting to do active things that you want to do with your partner (biking, hiking, even walking)... Oh and not being able to carry your wife across the threshold or even pick her up if she has fallen and she can't get up.:neutral:
Dude, re-read his post. He never said that he was looking to get married or to have children so I think that you are putting the cart several miles before the horse. And, I would suggest that even if your comments were made with your view of Brent's best interests at heart, you expressed them in the same derisive type of language that the whole "WW who date BM are old, fat, ugly, broke, illiterate and incapable of tying their own shoes" crowd routinely uses to describe us.
I hear ya Nerdy, but coming from a chick who is classified as overweight at the moment, and living in a blue-collar/ghetto neighborhood at the moment, I am attracting blue-collar/ghetto black men in droves and it's not such a good feeling overall... It's going to be an interesting sociological experiment to see what happens when I lose the 50 lbs I need to... of course if I venture to the east-side malls, that will ruin the consistency of the study...
Y'all don't worry about it. Things are improving at an astronomical rate currently, and this discussion will be a thing of the past (at least for me). Glad some guys don't buy into the Hollywood stereotypes, but it's not fun to gain a little weight and draw a whole different demographic (IN DROVES as opposed to just "quite a lot"). A cute white guy flirted with me/ befriended me at work the other day and I was confused for awhile until I figured out he is just really friendly/nice/flirtatious. Of course I would only want someone like that for a friend - I can't stand guys who are flirty with everyone. Thems just the facts, kids - my day to day life. Of course I don't really "go out" and meet people that much these days, so once I feel more comfortable to do so, that will AGAIN compromise my study as I'll be accessible to more men in general if I'm out in public.
I'm not feeling badly anymore, I'm actually very optimistic for the first time in a long time and it has nothing to do with a man or my current weight... (which will sort themselves out as due course)...
Sure hun. And this is your book cover.... Cause Lord knows we will endure volumes about every ghetto bm-attracting pound you discard, until you pirouette happily ever after into the arms of a white man.
Actually, I'm quite close to your size, sister (from the last photograph I saw of myself the other day). And I am not really looking for someone UNTIL I am happy with the way that I look (now that I have a job and can focus on fitness, getting an apartment, working on my art exhibition, etc.)... I only want someone that I will be happy with, who is equal to me, no matter what color. BUT if I'm attracting low-lifes, you better believe I will take a good look at myself in the mirror and do whatever I can to get my standard up where it used to be. And/or just get out more and go to events for like-minded people...
If you think just because you'll be slim you wont ever attract low-lifes, you will be sorely disappointed. Being a big woman does not equate to attracting low-lifes. either. You attract what you put out. Last I checked, a personality isn't measured in pounds. BTW, that's not me in the wedding dress.
