Yeah I suppose it does happen, but as I have not been subjected to this kind of thing i'm not really in a position to comment, but in my experience of being on FB I can only say I have only had complimentary remarks made towards me.

Each to his own & if they dont like the fuller figure, whether it be man or woman, then tough!!!

Totally agree with that ......... But have you noticed when similar threads have been started there doesn't seem to be much input from men ??????

I also thing the pissing taking starts alot earlier these days ........ like the playground, my daughter is not fat by any means but is alot taller and not as thin as most of the girls in her class and she use to get the 'piss' taken out fo her, until her mum Very Happy gave her a view pointers, so like someone pointed out earlier is all about how kids are brought up today in respecting everyone for who they are and not what they look like ............. x

I avoid any topic that involves commenting on race, sexual orientation, shape, size, etc (unless I'm making a light-hearted remark to difuse a potentially contentious topic on the forum), I wouldn't even make comments on those 'rate the person above you' type threads. As a matter of fact, I do have views on this particular topic, but I'm just not airing them Very Happy

Best not to, ye get bullies jumping down yer throat...Ganging up on ye...Reading INTO wot ye say, instead of reading wot ye say...

for reasons above, and on the face of it, and please go back and have a look...This thread was sexist...If you exchange the words "men" for "women" then you will know wot I mean...

btw...I said from the beginning of my thread, be as you are, but don't give excuses...

Each of us don't like some aspect of wot and who we are...But we gotto live with it, jeez, I look in the mirror each and every day...Not going to look just now, am off to look into the bottom of my bottle of red...

So will end with this....Offer of Olive branch...
If I have genunuinely offended, then I apologise...However, I truly feel that the openning to this thread is both sexist and offensive to the opposite sex, that is, MEN...Cazzabee, haven't read yer message, but if you want to post again in the spirit of goodwill...I will read...And I am not saying you didn't (pm in the spirit of good will)...

There ye go...Life is tooooo short....Enjoy...

I think the original question was more to do with face to face insults. I’d say that, quite logically, the majority of people being contacted through FB would receive compliments from people viewing their profiles – after all, someone would didn’t like tall people, or smokers, wouldn’t contact me in the first place, and likewise with someone who is larger framed; the men contacting larger women through the site obviously have a preference for larger women (or no preference either way) and will obviously be complimentary. Of course, I suppose even through the web site there is bound to be the odd idiot who will just send a message with a rude comment.

I do want to add something to this thread though. Some time ago a woman contacted me through the site. After reading her profile, I sent her a polite message saying that I wasn’t interested (I didn’t say why I wasn’t interested, just that I wasn’t). She responded with a message saying (and I quote) “It’s because I’m big, isn’t it? Typical male……blah blah blah” - she assumed an awful lot.

(The truth is, I wasn’t interested because she had food stains on her clothes and didn’t look like she had washed for 2 weeks, and seemed barely literate – I’m so shallow, aren’t I? - but I was too polite to say anything about that)

Have a good time.... Razz Laughing Laughing

A bit off topic, but I remember years ago, in Edinburgh, the centre used to be packed wi people all having a good time...now ye get charged to go into the town and it took it all away for me...

Remember walking around for many a New Years since and it was simply dead quiet...

There hasn't been the Hogmany spirit for years now, or I am getting older....

You get out there and enjoy... Laughing

I don't know some people can be so bigoted! I don't mind going out with a woman with a fuller figure, besides I can talk because I got a fuller figure myself!

Well, to be honest, I'm plump and hide it well, but a year on flirtbox has done wonders for my self esteem and I don't really care about any nasty remarks 'cos I have enough lovely comments from lovely men to not consider it an issue worth worrying about these days.

Doesn't seem so..." A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own."

Seems there is a lot of bigotry to others opinions....

Men may take the piss out of weight, because men take the piss out of everything!

As for the fuller figure...
Generally (note the use of the word generally), people would see in a potential mate certain aspects which subconsciously they are attributing to possible future children. As obesity is linked to heart diesease and other health-related issues, excess weight is often not seen as being a desirable attribute in a potential partner.
In the real world, individuals can have atypical tastes, so all that socio-scientific theory counts for doo-doo.

The media blasts images of stick-thin women at the masses 24/7. That doesn't help women's existing heuristic neurosis on the matter! I'm a big bloke myself, but it doesn't bother me, or the people that I've met.

Oh, one more thing....
If you think you're fat, and you don't want to be. See your doctor and undertake a long-term (as opposed to crash-diet) plan of balanced diet and regular exercise.

Rant over

I feel that what ever you are like there will always be someone that doesn't like it and people will feel hurt by other's comments but the reality of it is we're all different and it would be a boring world if we wasn't. No one is better than anyone else and we all have our good qualities. Personally i have taken jibes about my weight but I am strong enough to overcome it and be happy within myself. You are who you are and if you're not happy with the way you are then only you can do something about it, you either try and change things or except them but either way you should never knock someone else because they are different.
