Real women have curves!
I hate this saying with such a passion. While it's true that curvy women are mighty attractive, it's been skewed so badly that it's now used as an excuse for *obese* women to say that they're "curvy".
Curves means that the shape of your body is naturally curvy, not that you have so much fat that your fat is curved. Accept what you are and either deal with it, or lose the weight. Seriously.
*rant*
Curvy fat - now that brings a strange vision to mind :laugh:0 -
All that should matter is how you feel about yourself. I know many guys (I am one of them) thinks thin women are not attractive so he shouldn't speak for other men. There is so much more to beauty than one's weight. Don't ever get discouraged, go out and find someone who likes you for you are. I dont get discouraged about how most women only want to date a tall fit man, I just look for a woman who likes me for me. Make a change only if your are not happy with the way you look not based on someone else. I bet you look stunning the way you are now.0

Obviously he thinks I am more attractive now that I am thinner :-) and I have loved rubbing his reaction in his face ever since!
Oh man I sooooo almost read reaction wrong!!!0 -

Some people like to lie about what is really attractive, and they also like to be lied to about their own attractiveness.OMigod, have women really said that to you?? Pretty disgusting. I apologize!! not all women are like that, that's for sure!
To summarize without going into gory depth, yes women have said that to me often. It's one of the biggest reasons I started buckling down on my weight. Granted I was only about 40 lbs over but people equate 40 lbs over as the same as 200 lbs over. Once you get to a certain point it doesn't matter anymore.
Whenever people try to pass this off as a gender thing (meaning that women are so open about dating, but men are only interested in barbie) i have to laugh my *kitten* off because I have found it to be equal no matter what gender we're talking about.
I value truth.
I've know too many ladies who ditch Mr Right to go bed down some great looking guy who treated them like dirt.
We all know people like this, and some guys fall victim as well.
I want to be equally yoked, and my SO told it to me straight.
You are TOO FAT!
You are unattractive.
OUCH! The truth hurt, but it got me out of the problem and into the solution.
Anybody too thin skinned to accept reality can just stay in lah lah land with false compliments and a fake love that transcends mere physical beauty.
Yea, right....0 -

Hahahahaha!!!!!:laugh:0 -
that's a horrid thing to say to someone!
i know i'd look better , physically, if i was thinner, but it wouldn't make me a better person. Being attractive includes a persons spirit, laughter, personality, soul, and heart...not just their looks...IMO.0 -
NO, but if anyone ever said that to me, they would be much pretty without a brand new black eye

Yea, right....
Yup. Truth is more important to me as well. And yeah I know a ton of women who are with guys that treat them like dirt, and in a couple cases they get beaten, but stay because the guy is "hot" and their gfs are jealous of them for having a "hot guy".
That's the world we live in. Relationships are about the total package, but physical appearance carries the lion's share of points. Mr. Right has to not only treat her right, but also look good too to truly be Mr Right. Otherwise he's "Mr Right to share my problems with but not sleep with"
"Auticus, you are just whining now."
I've noticed that as I've lost weight and gotten in better shape that I've had a lot more positive comments and more options. My personality and how I think has not changed an iota. I do internally rage against the culture we are in, where this is how it is, but I also realize that the rules are what they are.0 -
I know it's the truth, hence why I am now watching what I eat and exercising. If someone is merely confirming what you know or suspect, what's the big deal?0

If that question is directed at me I do not understand it entirely enough to answer it.
If someone is confirming that being thinner is more attractive, there is no big deal to me. It's the truth.
My deal comes from when people pretend or wear a mask and come across one way when in reality they are something else. Meaning "yeah I don't mind if you are overweight" when in fact they are, because it gives a false sense of security to others and in general is playing false.0 -
No that was not directed at you or I would have quoted you (this sound more jerkish than intended).I know it's the truth, hence why I am now watching what I eat and exercising. If someone is merely confirming what you know or suspect, what's the big deal?

I just have to throw my 2 cents in here.... loose weight for the right reasons, not to "hook a man'. I'm taking weight off to be healtier and have more energy, I already know i'm hot as hell at any weight
I was a Plus size/BBW model at 315lbs and attracted men by the dozens, Lawers, Musicians, Doctors, etc. I got fired for LOOSING TO MUCH WEIGHT go figure lmao.
Moral of my ramblings: be confident of yourself no matter what, loose weight because YOU want to be healthy, not because you're afraid of men's opinions
Plus Confidence is sexy 0 -
Yes, I have. It annoyed me at the time. I don't think anyone should actually say it to another. But you can't prevent people from feeling it. There is a lot of shallowness in the world.
Everyone is attracted to physical beauty, whether in the opposite sex, in marketing ads, movies, or magazines.
Attractiveness is a physical characteristic. I believe I am not as attractive when I am heavy.
However, I am still lovable and beautiful and radiant and fun and worthwhile. I didn't lose weight to become my attractive to the opposite sex. I lost it so I could feel more beautiful and healthier and participate in more activities.
I honestly am not attracted to overweight men, either. My boyfriend is one of those lean-mean sugar-burning machines. He is not the most handsome man in the world, but we have so many common interests. We have fun together and laugh/scream at the world in many of the same ways.0 -

Curves means that the shape of your body is naturally curvy, not that you have so much fat that your fat is curved. Accept what you are and either deal with it, or lose the weight. Seriously.
*rant*
THIS! I've been saying this for years. When men say they like a curvy girl, they mean they prefer beyonce to kate moss.
Also hate really obese chicks that go on about how fantastic their massive tits are, and it's like no, you don't have fantastic tits, you're just massive all over.
Fair enough if you're happy being overweight, but stop being in denial about it.
Also, "real women have curves", that's just as insulting to naturally slim girls. If someone said "real women don't have fat bellies" you'd all be in uproar, but somehow it's okay to slag off girls how are naturally slim as opposed to curvy?
Please define "real" for me.0 -

Yes I get the "you're a beautiful girl but..."
My mother told me I had a pretty face but because I had gained weight my pores had stretched so my skin wasn't nice anymore (thanks mam)
My ex told me I was too fat for sex, I was 40lbs lighter back then! My self esteem hit rock bottom and I ate for comfort. He also used to tell me there was no point in putting on make up or getting dressed up because I was so fat it wouldn't make a difference.
Yep, i have had the said to me by all of my ex bf's as well. Men are such A HOLES. But i will tell you something funny. I ran into my ex not so long ago and i found out that he has a baby with a crazy puerto rican gang member and now she is fat and abuses him. He was stressing to me how beautiful i am now and how hot his baby mama used to me and how much she changed.
I laughed and he called me incompasionate. I hit him with the biggest rant that could hit anybody and that was also building for 5 years. I told him, you deserve this and worse. After every insult you gave me about my weight, i stayed with you for 5 years. I was abused by you emotionally and physically and you loved it. And then the one day i moved on and you spit in my face at the bus station and made a scene. I wished you were dead and i hated you for taking 5 years and my h.s years away from me.
But I really did want you to find the hot smoking babe of your dreams and you wanna know why. I couldn't wait for you to come back to me and tell me how you destroyed her. you did find that hot girl, and you knocked her up and ruined her body and cheated on her (like you did me as well except the baby part), and lost all trust she had for you. Now you live in your car and her brothers in the gang wanna beat you to death. And the best part is that you caused this all on yourself, i love it, thats the erik i know. No i don't feel bad for you, i feel bad for your kid who has a discusting father that i knew you always would turn out to be. The best part about this is that you thought you would come here and convince me to go back with you. You disgust me and I want to see you suffer and you will never look at me, touch me, or get compassion from me ever. You destroy lives and you will die alone and diseased ridden. I hate you and you are dead to me. Go F-BOMB yourself.
He looked like he was going to cry and stormed out of the park. I walked home and my heart was still beating when i got there. One on the best moments of my life.
You should find out where your ex is now. Bad karma comes around in the victims favor0 -

Yeah I got that a lot. I love how people say that to a person like it's a compliment. *rolls eyes*
I went back to my hometown for the holidays and ran into a few people I used to know and they hardly recognized me. I'm getting friend requests on facebook from old "friends" now ALL THE TIME. Shallow much?0
