It's not just the internet dating world. I've been turned down flat because of my weight. Of course, they had OTHER reasons to my FACE... but told friends another story, that they could "do better than THAT cow" or the memorable "She's too fat, too loud and not very ladylike".

The second guy is a middle-aged, beer-gutted church deacon and schoolteacher who ONLY wants a skinny young girlfriend. MUCH to the whole town's suprise, he found one who would HAVE HIM!

Karma came in to play... after he bought her a ring and a car (used..he's on a teacher's salary) she took up with two or three other men and left him in the dust.

So much for skinny being a virtue.

There are men out there who value a woman for who she IS, not the size of her butt. I wish it suprised me more to know you had such an experience.
