Being a woman of well stacked and goodly proportions :twisted: I was a little put out to read the comment below taken from the Radlett Parties website;
Attendance profile drifts with time, but the average age seems currently to be around 35. There is no restriction on age or physique, but it has been many months since we saw any one who had lost pride in their appearance to the extent of being fat.


Am I being too sensitive? smile
Why don't they just say that they don't like cuddly people and have done with it rolleyes :roll: :roll: :roll:
A question I asked my son "Do these trousers make my bum look fat?"
Answer, "No, your bum makes your bum look fat"
I love kids but I couldn't eat a whole one. confused

Well they are aren't they... and to be honest what is the difference between that and sexism, racism... It can be argued that being fat is a choice - I agree to a certain extent but fairly extensive studies have demonstrated the opposite to be true...
I'm suprised there has been so little response to this - I guess I am in my own cuddly little minority... lol

oh well too young,too big and too much fun for them then,im sooo gutted! rolleyes
Having seen the programme in questionlast week i got the impression he was rather a mercanary(possible typo) kind of guy and that his wife/partner seemed to be towing the line as opposed to partaking freely....
Maybe I got the wrong impression but if not then I sort of think his parties are not the kind of place I would enjoy going to anyway...
We,the wife and I, enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere of Munches where everyone is taken on face value and not judged on their size/race/looks etc....
Alltogether a lot less shallow as far as we are concerned and much more fun to meet up with peeps you have chatted to for yonks....
The evidence from my personal perspective is that people who spend their time contemplation other folks bulges, have invaribly forgotten their own short comings - and there are more butt ugly skinny folks than you can chuck a stick at.
The very act of pointing out someone's ample proportions make them feel better about themselves... small, narrow minded tossers that they are! rolleyes
I'm off to play with nice folks.... :twisted:

not at all . . . . i am just wary of sounding patronising or insincere, so think about what to say . . . .
it is always nice though to be able to boost your own ego by ripping someone elses to shreds!!! isn't it??? <<< sigh >>> ;-)

I did it again! Wrote an e-mail..............
But this time it went into `email waiting to be sent` because I remembered just how personally I take it when wankers hit back!
It was actually very polite, but one cannot ensure a polite response from such a mentality.

if it was polite e-mail then i think you should honestly send it.... if they do send back something natsy then i think you should let us know....
i think we are a level headed website and if it clarafies their stance or attitudes then better for us to make decisions....

Hi, we were looking at your site with interest. You certainly seem to have a great set up there. Only one thing in the wording concerned us, and I hope you don`t mind us pointing it out to you. I am sure you wish to attract as many people as possible, and the following is a little off putting;
Attendance profile drifts with time, but the average age seems currently to be around 35. There is no restriction on age or physique, but it has been many months since we saw any one who had lost pride in their appearance to the extent of being fat.
It`s not always about `losing pride`, many so called `fat` people look great, many others prefer this build, and still there are others who unsure of thier own figure who may feel they are being looked upon as `prideless` if they visited your establishment. I`m sure you can appreciate how this could make a person feel.
I hope you take this into consideration,

If they bully me I`ll blame you lot wink

Oooooooooooh go girl!
Tact and diplomacy were never my strong points and I would have been an awful lot ruder. They can't complain about such a nicely worded email

This just brings home the fact that this is very much business orientated and is not in the real world. There is perhaps a couple of questions that may need to be addressed here. (1) What are they selling and (2) what are people buying? here is a typical example of lets throw some money at it then it will be OK.

According to their site they say;
We try to keep the format simple and fun. You don’t need to join a club, pay membership, send photographs or give your life history. The devaluation of our home by parties is well into six figures, so we do look for a contribution to pool maintenance, damage, etc. from those who haven’t had us to a recent uncharged party. We throw parties while we enjoy them, not as a business. While revellers defray the costs of parties we can throw more of them.

The website says they charge £30 per couple and they do not get less than 100 people per party... so a minimum of £1500 pounds per party... they have two parties a month being the last weekend on the month... Fri is singles & couples... Sat is couples only... Can't find a charge for singles... prolly the same as couples... I've noticed that single men certainly have to pay a premium! So a conservative estimate of turnover would be £3 - a month... not too bad! smile
Don't take this that I am criticising their methods of business/fun... far from it...

Brilliant email Venus... go for it... please let us know if you receive a response... biggrin
i think you worded that really well... i am gutted i have to go soon... have to wait 8 hrs to see what kind of replies they get.....
if it is not a nice one, i would love someone to invite them to the london munch, that would probably change their entire attitude....

i find myself in danger of actually being "serious" on here lately! :doh:
there is no room for exclusivity in the little bit of the scene we have found here!!!
i'd be very very very tempted to send that one!

The Radlett parties are a commercial venture.
The guy running them is a business man and has targeted a specific segment of the market.
He obviously feels that larger people are not in keeping with the image he is trying to create.
If he was just mercenary as one person put it he would invite anyone that was happy to pay, however he is actually reducing the amount of potential clients by not allowing larger people to attend.
Personally I dont see anything wrong with that.

I don't even know how to reply to that comment -------------so I shan't

Yet he states there is no restriction on physique , then follows up with a comment which is not welcoming to all. I have a problem accepting anything which is so badly thought out and is likely to make people feel bad about themselves.

Sorry I would have replied sooner but I've "lost so much pride" I was unable to get to the keyboard any quicker.
I actually don't care about being excluded for being fat. It is after all their business and I'm sure they know who their target market is. But why have a go at me. I am struggling to find a time when I have been more offended by a one liner comment like that.
Throughout the morning I've gone from being outraged to just very sad sad

Was so trying not to say anything here because no matter what is said, these people will always be shallow and small minded. In my opinion anyone who doesn't look under the surface probably isn't worth mentioning. There is so much more to a person than looks, they might just be an arrogant shit and unpleasant company.
I'm unsure how taking pride in your appearance can equate to being fat. Can't you get slim ugly unwashed mingers or is that allowed? Or a big girl taking pride in herself?
I'd like to think I took pride in who I am and what I look like even though I am big.

I agree completely - there is so much more to a person than just looks.
I would avoid swinging with a person with a crap personality just as much as I would with someone I didnt find attractive.
And I also agree that you can get slim ugly ppl - and I would want to go near them either, washed or unwashed! wink
And I also doubt that those ppl would get into Radlett.

Hmmm... the impression given by the TV proggie last Thursday was that they give parties for fun not for commercial gain. The words on their website back this up;
We try to keep the format simple and fun. You don’t need to join a club, pay membership, send photographs or give your life history. The devaluation of our home by parties is well into six figures, so we do look for a contribution to pool maintenance, damage, etc. from those who haven’t had us to a recent uncharged party. We throw parties while we enjoy them, not as a business. While revellers defray the costs of parties we can throw more of them.

If you know differently then isn't there a little hypocracy taking place perhaps? If the parties *are* just for fun and the turnover genuinely does defray the expenses then the organiser/s of the Radlett House Parties are sexual snobs, however they are within their right to to dictate terms of how they organise events - whether they run a business or hold genuine parties.
My opinion of them was favourable from the TV programme, I applauded their openess but reading their website, where they wash their dirty linen in public with regard to some family issues plus the topic we've been discussing here has reversed my opinion of them. Do they care however?.. nope... and why should they! smile
I really should get on with some work... rolleyes

Well you wouldn't would you.
I wonder if you would have posted the same reply if either you your partner or both were of shall we say of ample build.
Just be careful of the future, Its usually wise not to offend those you meet on the way up. they are also often the ones you meet again on your way down. One last point, never say never as age and time have a habit of biting you on the nose and it could be ....tomorow..
JudyTV

Actually Judy I would have.
As a male with average endowment I am excluded from many adverts where ppl are looking for VWE guys.
As a white person I am excluded from ads where the ppl have a personal preference for black guys.
Its those peoples personal preference that excludes me
However as an open minded well balanced individual I recognise that ppl are allowed to have their own preference and I do not take offence to it - and lets face it if there was anything that would upset a bloke, cock size is going to be it!! wink
I would have thought that on a forum such as this, with so many liberally minded people there would be an air of acceptance about other peoples personal preferences.
