"if you lost all that extra weight you would be totally hot"

to whom exactly? And *why* on earth do I want to be attractive to them?

Personally, anyone who is going to be that crass (not to be confused with Krass, who rocks) can kiss my ass. The last thing I want is any reason for them to try and suck oxygen from my personal space.

I am pleased to see jucier women showing up on television. But the movies are so few and far between that it is pretty easy to name them all.

And that's bullshit and needs to stop.

Especially if my experiences are any indication - lots of people think plumper women are HOT HOT HOT.

Let's storm the castle and beat some sense into hollywood. Who's with me?

Hah! Leaving you open for the big dumb ones. Oh, well.

Height might get you points with me, but it's definitely not the first thing I look for, I've fallen pretty hard for a couple guys in the 5'5" range, but they had a ton of other stuff going for them.

My partner is the same heigh as me, but I've got a 100 lbs on him, he's English. He offered me his leftovers in a restaurunt the other day and I was like "No. People already think I steal your food."

You go into a crowded bar in central France, first of all, you're was noticeably one of the tallest people there, I'm 5'8"; there are 6'6" frenchmen, they're just not as common as the 5'3" ones. Guys of all ages are winking and waving and saying stuff in French, one might touch your arm or your butt when you walk by(I didn't know if this was something the French normally tolerate or not, so I let it slide). This was still going on even if I took hold of Mike's hand.
They seemed like perfectly nice, friendly guys, but I got the creepies, I felt like I was about to be swarmed in munchkin land if I said or did something to set them off.

That said I know what you mean about the Amazon/Slave boys. I can do the persona thing as a defence mechanism, then you have to convince them "No, REALLY, I'm NOT what you're looking for. See that 5'3" woman over there: SHE'LL beat the shit out of you for fun. Go on now.

My husband's my height as well, although we're about the same weight. I have fallen for some shorter guys as well, but like yours, the other things they had going for them more than made up for it. Height will be the first thing on my mind if that's what I'm approached with.
