05/09 Mama Drama

Quote From: hulagirl1

Bottom line, men don't want to be seen with a fat wife or girlfriend. Most of them know better than to admit it, but it is the truth. I think they think it's a direct reflection of their manhood to the world. If a fat chick is "all they can get", then they feel that they're seen as a deficient man. It makes them feel like they will lose status. Not just a few insecure, weak men but really, just about all men. How many discussions have we heard where heavy women looking for men are advised on their self-esteem, their approach, blah blah blah, but nobody is allowed to say the truth, the men don't go any further when they see fat. I wouldn't care all that much if my husband was fat, but men are different. They just don't say it to women because they know they'll be considered shallow and cruel. But it is what pretty much all of them think.

First off, I am not overweight so this is not written in self-defense.  It is true that a lot of men probably would not date a heavy woman. But, I personally know a lot of men who have dated , fallen in love with and married heavy women. My late FIL worshipped the ground my late MIL walked on and she was obese. He was not ashamed to be seen with her. He was, in fact, proud of the fine woman she was. I understand that we as human beings have varied, diverse tastes and preferences when it comes to dating and marriage. But there is no excuse for rudeness and abusive treatment. When 2 people marry, there is no guarantee that they will remain the same as when they say "I do". And there are a lot of things that can happen to people besides gaining weight. I'm sure men prefer women with 2 breasts, but sometimes cancer strikes. A REAL man loves his wife no matter what, and so does a REAL woman love her husband no matter what. I have been married for 34 years this month and my husband has never called me a bad name and I have never called him a bad name. That doesn't mean things have always gone smoothly, but we have respected each other. I do means "I WILL".

First of all, you are being way too presumptuous when you assume that "it is what pretty much all of them think".

You are wrong.

 

Secondly, any man who judges a woman on her appearance without taking the time to get to know her is most likely lacking in some other aspects of his OWN personality and attributes....like behind the zippered denim, for instance.

 

Think about it...
