xander,

0-6 no bigger is my guess.


probably


i don't think it matters what i say at this point does it?

but just to satisfy your curiousity i would probably not date anyone over 190 lbs.

I think I missed the memo on Marines being better than everyone else.

You know all at least he is being honest and deserves and honest opinion.

We don't have to lash back and put him down just because we feel the need to protect another from what he said.

There are ways to say things to get our point over without bringing ourselves down.

He is not attacking anyone here yes he was wrong in his choice of words.

But..........wisdom comes with age, as we grow older or by asking questions and others answering hopefully maybe someone will see down the road where they were wrong and not make that same mistake.

But if we lash out at him does he learn from us nooooooo.

Why not say what one should have said and the down fall of what ones words does to another.

If we bash back all that is going to do is make him bash back then all the words are lost and no one learns from what was said.flowerforyou
Thank you. Well saidflowerforyou

A brilliant man.

Fenk you, fenk you. In younger days, I used to walk from the bottom of one slope of Mt. St. Helene in Montreal to the other, does that count?


Indeed! Let's get together and scale the heights!

It is funny, I've dated three Marines and every single one of them was an azzwipe. I know I've had unsually bad experiences, but I hate it when people throw around a profession like it makes them better than others.

A mean person can have any job, really.

The rules apply to all not just some so think about what you have said and if you have broke the rules then chill out a bit and think. Second chance for all on this one!!

Ahhhhh, walking the fine line between honesty and balance,,,:wink: huh

Think about the scenrio. She's interested in you, probably KNOWS when she produces the pic, she's gonna get dissed, but theres hope in her core. From her perspective, she's all that and a slice of bread. If only she could catch a break and meet someone who looks past the external.

If your not it, you can only be honest:wink:

BUT

She desserves CREDIT for being honest tooflowerforyou

Something like, " I know this may appear superficial of me, but I am not attracted to bigger females. but, after talking to you for a while, your a great person and I hope we can keep in touch."

Win/win,,,

You BOTH move on with dignaty and respect:wink: happy flowerforyou

and JMO = Just My Humble Opinion:wink:


Peeking, as a Big Lady that posts her full length and close up pics and fully disclosed her ample size without listing the weight, I like your response. Dignity and respect is always the best place from where to speak and treat people. For yourself and their sake as well.

When I find a guy that looks older, fatter, shorter, less hair or grey hair than he had in his posted or sent pictures, I don't crap on the guy. It just makes me laugh. My most recent survey of Men on these sites is that Men are more vain and insecure than Women and will lie about their age and looks more than I had expected. It's hilarious! Oh, and from my Coworkers, Peers, Bosses, I have found that Men are bigger Gossips than Women. Now lets all have a good laugh!

Okay I have decided to open this thread back up I may be wrong by doing so. If we can not keep it civil then I will send out warnings and lock it back up. For now I’m given all a second chance on this one. So if you decide to post to this one again I suggest you think your thoughts through very carefully for no third chance will be given.

There is no reason to attack other members upon these forums at all. If you do then you are also breaking the forum rules.

So with that said if one can not give a reasonable suggestion of what one did wrong with the reasons then please pass the threads up.

We all have our preference in life of what we want we just have different ways of going about saying what we want. With that said, please pay attention to how your suggestions or words will affect another.

Thank You

Though he had no right to be rude or cruel, he is entitled to his preferences.

I read a response in the thread stating his girlfriend would probably get an eating disorder from him. Can't we please stop equating thin with eating disorders?

I stay in shape and I assure you, no one gets between me and the trough! It would be nice if we could stop disrespecting and labeling people due to their size.

I think, that perhaps you need to turn this around a bit. What if you were in a car accident, and disfigured in some way. How would it make you feel if someone would not get to know you for YOU?

I do understand that there does have to be a chemistry present in dating relationships. I'd say don't rule someone out until a fair chance is given. If you feel you have done that, then maybe it is time to move along. flowerforyou

Yes, we are all entitled to our preferences. But we are not entitled to hurting others. I can only imagine if I chatted with someone who a week and then after they saw what I looked like they became mean and insulting. I am the same person on both days....

I am aware he thought he could have handled it better, and I also think he should have handled how the thread was posted better. JMO

There really is no way for me to get around the fact that the OP hurt a girl's feelings and then got arrogant about how he is justified in doing so.

Not saying I agree with OP, but I think he has confused arrogance with ignorance.

Arrogance, believing you're the sh!t!

Ignorance, making others believe they smell like sh!t in order to make yourself feel better.

I totally agree with you. No one has the right to be cruel to another person regardless of their preferences.

you probably couldnt WALK 6 miles if you had the WHOLE DAY."


I am surprised you are admitting you were this horrible to another human being, this judgmental, this callous and shallow and superficial.

But then again, you are admitting it. So at least you're honest you are all those things.

Thanks for letting us know.


i suppose so, but i'm very athletic and smart + i will be a marine in a couple months from now so i think i have a right to be picky


You have the right to be pikcy, you don't have the right to be an azzhole to her.

I would go into more about what is wrong with you, but I don't have all day or enough vocabulary at this moment in time.

I'm a little amazed at the preconception that all Marines must date someone "worthy" in looks to be considered acceptable. I dated and was engaged to a Marine for almost 3 years and I've never been what was considered thin, and a lot of the girlfriends and wives I met during that time while he was at Camp Pendleton I know for a fact did not fit into your preconceived notion of "beauty" standard is not true. Real Marines are known for their courage, valor and strength not for their "hot" girlfriends/wives.

Do unto others as you would have done unto you, treat others with the courtsey we all deserve and be tactful when dealing with other people's feelings. We all have different perspectives on what's attractive but don't blame it on the Marine Corp for standards of beauty when its your personal tastes that is what is truley behind it.
