ORIGINAL: gothicdiva Satyr, I agree with you. Why is it that EVERY fat/overweight woman labels themself a "BBW?" More often than not, these women are just fat...and NOT beautiful. Besides that, I HATE that term. I'd be interested to see the person who actually coined that term. As someone else said, it all comes down to "preference." I prefer someone who is more "fit" themselves and they have a right to turn me down because I am not. I don't have an issue with that. I also turn people down for other reasons...ie. ignorance, rudeness, etc. Thrilled to wake up and see yet another "fat" thread on here...LOL M. Diva This is an example of the type of mean statement I was talking about. You have your personal preference. Groovy. But why do you have to be mean about it? Maybe fat women are not beautiful in your sight. That's fine, too. But maybe lots of others think you're just dead wrong. Why is it that thin people seem to think they own the monopoly on good looks? Fascinating the sense of privilege that abounds. But this has been going on a good long time. And will take some time to correct. That's ok, I'm in it for the long haul. My point still stands. Nothing wrong with your personal preference. I personally could care less. What I do care about is the persistent belief that it's ok to be insulting, mean, unkind to others (in this case fat people) just because you don't like them, or the way they look. And to FatFomDaddy, I don't know why other fat women don't post their pics nor do I know why they don't post their weights. I only know why I do not. Perhaps you should ask the particular person instead of presuming their reasons. Just a suggestion. I'm just wondering about something. Does anybody actually think it's ok to be mean to ANYBODY? I mean, I would just think it would be a no-brainer to most people that it's actually better to be kind rather than unkind. That's what this issue is all about, people. Not about whether or not it's better or cooler or whatever to be fat or thin...It's about the way we treat one another. Does anyone disagree that we should treat each other with kindness? If so, then maybe we are just a crueler race of beings than I gave use credit for. MNN
