Do men like this type of women and do women like this type of man? Inquiring mind would like to know..... Calorically Challenged Thin People <----- Phrase coined by Krupa

If you mean skinny men and women, my answer is, yeah I like skinny men. And I'm sure some men like skinny women, although the ones I've known seem to prefer the chunkier ones.

I like slender men and beefcake's. Just can't do fat.

Then both of you would love Krupa

I can not do "a few extra pounds"

A B.M.I. of 25 is a requirement

How many pounds extra is "extra?"

Don't care how they look, as long as they aren't stupid.

seriously huh.

looks can only get you so far. if your brain isn't all there.. move on sucka.

Is not the "extra" but most of the times, people who said they are "a few extra pounds" end up being a lot more than just "a few extra"

In a world where everyone seems to be obsessed with stick thin people (women)it is sometimes very hard to get by on "brains not beauty" when programmes like Desperate Housewives, Americas Next Top Model and Sex and the City are portraying stick thinness as the way forward.

I watch Cartoon Network, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Never even heard of those shows.

so? i thought that was covered in the hooray for fat girls thread.

rise above it.

hell you think I've gotten where I am in life and being cool with me by letting the tv and mag's influence my brain?


there are too many successful plus sized people out there to believe that its all the tv's fault. lol

like I said... rise above it. if you can...

I don't know about you but adult swim in the cartoon network makes me feel mighty purdy haha

I can rise above it my love, for you see I am slender in stature with friends who are big, heavy-set ( what ever other names used to describe these ladies) and do fight in their corner.

lol

okay.

My mum is a "Big Girl" and has been all of my life, I have suffered the taunts of other children when I was at school, my support for "big girls" started at a very tender age

I am not all that immediately attracted to anyone who is extreamly thin. Probably because I see being extreamly thin as a medical issue as much as a person who is extreamly obese. Having watched loved ones waste away to COPD, Cancer, Alzhemiers, and other health issues it tends to worry me. Many of my family are very thin so sometime I think it is just wanting something different. I was extreamly thin as a child.

However I have to say that Kruppa is and excellent example of how someone I would not maybe be attracted to at first becomes one on the most attractive guys I know. Useing him as and example backfires when people start talking about physical predjudices/preferences.

Kruppa is fantasiclly creative, funny, empathetic, well spoken, careing, hardworking, intelligent and sharp dressing guys when he chooses. That he has the tanacity to believe in himself even when he doesn't fit the typical mold of masculine looks and put himself out there exactly as he is is gutsy and confident that is very appealing if you look beyond the superficial first impression. I am sure that is why he has someone. Could be a very good lesson to others.

All I did was borrow his phraseology......
