i'm fat - i don't expect people to think i am attractive because of it - i know i am not. so i wouldn't be offended by someone thinking my weight is unattractive. i don't think that is really the point of the thread ?

i find it disturbing when girls who are definitely NOT fat are called fat , though. this happens way more often than it should. but not much can be done about that. there is a lot about the world and the way people think that i don't like, but can't expect to change.

i think it's sad in general when people find it necessary to constantly make fun of people for their flaws (men & women). especially people who aren't putting themselves in the position to be judged. i try to not be that way although i'm sure i do it sometimes too without realizing it.

even ignoring the comments on looks/weight (which can be pretty bad) - i think there is often a lot of hostility toward women that shows up on this forum and just accepted when a lot of it really shouldn't be. probably isn't as noticable to most of you since you're all guys and can just laugh along. i have a pretty good sense of humor but i've definitely gotten sensitive to some of these comments after reading this forum as long as i have been, because i realize it's not really funny.

i am not saying i am expecting a change, i'm not. just giving my opinion and agreeing with the other girls here knowing it really doesn't mean anything.
