Well I'm new here, and I had some questions(mainly for the women). So I just graduated high shool(yeah I know a young one), but I didn't like it mainly because there were standards to be accepted by people in school. Any way, I am a big guy(and very shy because of it), but I still got the courage up to ask a couple of girls out. Even though they were nice to me and said that they would just want to be friends and didn't want to ruin a good friendship if we dated, I know that they didn't want to date me cause they didn't want to be known as the person who dated the fat guy. I don't really put myself out there to meet people right away, but I will talk to some one if they start the conversation. Now here is my question. In the world outside of high school, are women really as shallow as high school girls, or is there acutally a large number of them who see past the looks and actually get to know a person for who they are? Like do they actually take the time out to see if the person talking to them actually cares about them or is just another person in the friend book. If there is anyone out there who can help, please feel free to leave a comment. Thanks.

Just to let you know that the real world is nothing like High School. You still have those people out here but they just not together in packs. Keep your head up and look towards the future not your past.

I have met many different people who are attracted to many different physical attributes! I think you should take into condsideration that high school life is very small compared to the real world and that you still have lots of time to meet the girl who is going to love you for you.

First, welcome to JSH.

Unfortunately, there are shallow people everywhere. But there are people out there who will like you for you. Do what you feel comfortable with and nothing more. But most of all have fun (and be careful).

Thanks I guess I will just try to go and be myself, and see what I find. I really appreciate the responses.

Welcoem to JSH and Welcoem to the real world!! Real world in my opinion is a lot better than high school...less drama and more ppl to meet!! Good luck!!

sorry for typos..Welcoem = Welcome
