Fear, you are so literal. There maybe just one or two that are very special. And dogs are very nice.

I've had more success with dogs than I have with people, for the most part the people I've come across in my life do suck. Typically they are selfish, condescending, and usually just after one thing (not typically anything related to a relationship). Now to figure a rough number of people I've come across is difficult, but I would estimate it at roughly 10,000 and giving it a 10% shot is even far too many. So out of that 10,000 I've met roughly 1% that were good people, that is a very troubling number and an even more troubling equation.

I've met 100 people that are actually good people out of 10,000 people, real world setting and geographically similiar.

Some guys do like the bigger girls. I had a friend who was an average sized and he always dated bigger women. You are probably still single because YOU have higher standards.

Shallow has nothing to do with it. It's about personal preference.

depends on the guy....unfortunately doesn't matter the size, most guys just want sex no matter what your figure...it sux.... good luck

Yup, that's all most guys want.

Talk to the right people we are just horn-dogs...

Ok stop this beatin around the bush here. Everyone knows it's socially unacceptable (as well as unhealthy) for women to be overweight and the majority who think that are...men. I am finally motivated to drop some poundage myself, lost 7 so far. If a man wants to go out, fine. If not, no sweat. I'm just keepin on keepin on with what I have to do. Think of the health issues rather than if men like plus-size women. If I catch crap for this post, I'm sorry if I offended. But remember this is coming from a plus gal.

They like da booty

I've never been one to be hung up on a woman's figure. As a matter of fact, most of the ladies I've dated were rather... well... let's just say they wouldn't necessarily be considered "supermodel" material.

I agree.

Ahh No!!

Actually, it's considered socially unacceptable because the fashion magazines tell us it is, and most are run by women. Teen magazines have articles on dieting, on how to get guys by looking great, etc. - and again, most are run by women. It's a self destructive cycle that we as females tend to buy into, and never quite shake free from. Blaming men for that would be supremely unfair.

Men respond to confidence and sense of self far more than they do to what size jeans you wear, or at least that's been my experience.

JMO...the grass is NOT always greener on the other side

i can see your point on that one but it was just comment i wanted some advice on. my higher standards are probably and most likely the reason and thanks for being honest . if you wanna make a comment to this topic please be blunt and don't worry about upsetting me im thick skinned

I can tell you, the number one reason I wouldn't go for ya is that big ass dog you have with you. Can't stand them nasty things. lol

don't worry about the dog in photo was taken on holiday in the local pub near the place we stayed

I'm talking about most men in general, not fashion magazines. You hear so much about men cheating on their spouses because they'd "let themselves go." Granted it goes both ways, my point was to not sit and wonder what men like, just be the best and healthiest you can be. Extra weight is not healthy, believe me as I'm fighting to clean up myself. Easier said than done, but it CAN be done. My GP told me last week that we start accumulating arterial blockages when we're in our TWENTIES. My a$$ is gettin in gear, no matter WHAT kind of women dudes like.

Btw, do you think the women that run those fashion magazines are large women? It's a social stigma that will never go away.

But most women always want another. It's like aww look how cute he is, and I'm like yeah well in a few weeks he will be my problem and I don't need another

Yeah, those Ass Dogs are really something!
