Sick of being tired and tired of being sick.

I'm superficial. I like intelligent women. Not the kind that everyone assumes is intelligent because they're different, but truly intelligent women. But if it's any consolation here is a quote from Italian Master of Horror, Dario Argento.

"I like women. Especially beautiful ones. If they have a good face and figure I would much perfer to watch them being murdered then an ugly girl or man. I certainly don't have to justify myself to anyone about this."

Whoa! Hopefully you aren't Mr.Argento's taste!!
 
it's one thing to prefer women who are skinny because it says something about how they are concerned about their health, but to not like a girl or guy simply because they are overweight, I strongly believe is wrong.

There are some very attractive overweight women and men out there. It's how they wear themselves. If they are happy and try to look their best, the weight doesn't matter. If they dress in old, out of shape clothes, don't make up their hair in a nice style, don't pay attention to their hygiene, and have a fairly bad attitude about life, people will see that and put them in a stereotype. Unfortunately some of these people are depressed and that causes them to either eat comfort food or their metabolism slows to a near stop and whatever weight they put on stays on.

The odd thing that people say about fat people is they are supposed to be jolly. How can they be jolly if they are constantly being put down by the skinny people?

Honestly though, wouldn't you rather have a happy, overweight person with a great personality and a kind heart than a thin bitchy whore that treats you like shit breaking your heart into pieces over and over again?

You people need to look at the person. There's a thin person under all that weight. I've seen it. I had an overweight friend in high school. At some point in her life, she decided she had enough and lost the weight. she was beautiful. She was the same person thin as she was overweight. I never saw her any differently either. I was just proud of her since it was a goal she had wanted to accomplish. Get to know an overweight person. You might find there's a lot more to love...and I don't mean that in the literal sense. ;)
 
While I agree with all of what you said, but this. I am a happy person, I come on this site to bitch. I do dress well and I have st8 teeth, perfect hair, clear skin, nails all that other stuff.

People often (men and women) tell me "oh you look good" what I fear they are leaving out is "You look good for an OVERWEIGHT PERSON"

I go out, I don't think it is a coincedence that guys ALWAYS approach my friend and not me. I am the one with the degree and the more talk-a-tive one. But when they flirt with me, they do it to ask me more about my friend.

It is a pattern I have seen happen so many times that I have nothing left to conclude other than my weight being the issue.
 
You're absolutely right, Black_Barbie, a lot of people make immediate judgments and decisions based on a first impression - and the visual image of "beauty" is usually based on background, culture and a personal opinion of what is pleasing.

I'd like to consider myself fairly objective about physical attraction, but, I got to thinking. Who would I rather be stuck on an elevator with, Stephen Hawking or Antonio Banderas? Catherine Zeta Jones or Margaret Thatcher? Now, besides the fact that I'd probably end up asking Hawking for the secrets to the universe, or asking Thatcher how it felt to be the nominal head of a country, I'd be tongue tied after that. On the other hand, I could just stand and look at Antonio or Catherine and not feel the need to make conversation.

Could that be why some people are unwilling to extend their perspective to other standards of beauty? They might have to talk, instead of relying on compliments and superficial badinage?

Beauty truly does come from within. When you feel good, are confident about yourself, and hold yourself proudly, it shows. If others can't see it, fuck 'em. (Or not, as the case may be.) There's a whole big world out there, and lots of people who will appreciate you - regardless of size, shape or peanut butter preference.
