Keith, for the record, I feel like you have explained yourself very well. I completely agree with, and understand your stance.

I was overweight for quite a few years, myself. I lost 100 pounds in a year, back in 1997, and, for thee most part, have kept it off. During a "suprise" pregnancy at 40 eight years ago, I put on about 30 pounds, but was able to get that off, and keep it off as well.

Your expression of preferences is what I would consider normal. I think that Darrick has some issues.

Also, I find it funny that all of the guys on the board are carping so much over a girl's weight when many of them are probably overweight in real life themselves.

Please do not insult all of the good men on this forum. The only men I see "carping" so much over a girl's weight are you and Darrick.

Oh, and by the way, women can be just as shallow as men -- even though they try to play innocent sometimes. For example, ask yourself how many girls would seriously date a guy who is 5' 2" or shorter. I've known a lot of women -- and I mean A LOT -- that won't even date a guy under about 5' 9" or so. In fact, I once had a girl turn down my brothers for a date by telling him that she doesn't date guys under 6'.

So, the superficiality does cut both ways.

Thanks.

I think that this issue has stirred up some stronger emotions than I intended, so I will leave it at that.

Congrats on your weight loss, by the way! I think that's an awesome story. Losing that much weight and keeping it off is a huge accomplishment in my book.

So bite my ass, Daheshist.

I think Johnny Depp says it more eloquently in this movie at about 1:20:

Ah, darn, bc. I'm on a computer with no speakers! I'm sure Depp was far more eloquent. He's reading from a prepared script and I'm just a Jersey Girl pitching it out there.

(I can't WAIT to see that movie!!!)
