I'm feeling slightly annoyed......
I'm signed up to a few of internet dating agencies (i know, waste of time etc etc) as I don't get out much to meet new people and as I'm on the net quite a lot I thought I'd have a go. Anyway, the point of this post is just to have a bit of a rant.
Basically my age, height & body type etc are all visible on my various profiles.
I've chatted via email to a few men who seemed ok until the dreaded question comes up "What dress size are you?" or something along those lines - Well me, being honest, tells them the info then it all goes quiet until there is complete silence and no more emails
sad
OK..... so why is this? They could obviously see from my profile that I'm not slim or athletic so why contact me? I don't go around contacting people I don't like the sound of.... is it all a big wind up to these so called men?
I despair sometimes....I really do.
Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

dont despair you will do well to be rid of wankers like that, just get the dress size question out of the way at the begining so you dont weaste too much time with arsholes that want to wear your dresses when your out , lol
good luck
this is a subject that will be discussed until the end of time. basically its about personal preference , and also guys maybe not being able to see past your boobs ,assuming u use the same avatar as here. I am also guilty of prejudice , as i dont find skinny size 8-10 ladies attractive , but there again i wouldnt be daft enough to pursue a lady that makes it obvious that she is slimmer than average!! So , unless u eradicate dumbass guys from the planet, i am afraid u are stuck with them sad

I don't use the avatar I have here.... they are face pics - the sites are for dating so there's no way I'd put the avatar I have on here.....then I would really be having trouble biggrin
Hi Onlyme, sorry to hear about these bad experiences of yours. Did you know there are a number of MSN communities specifically for BBWs and their male admirers? They don't suit every larger woman's taste, some would not want to be "ghettoised", but for many they are a valuable source of mutual support for larger women, as well as an opportunity to chat with and even meet up with men who are attracted to larger women. And they have group meets as well. I can give you details of one or two I know of if you wish.
Mike.
I am sorry that you have not had a good responce ,i cannot understand why?
dress sizes dont interest me that much ,you can be attractive no matter what
you look like
hope you have more luck soon
i could do with it i have been trying to get into the chatroom all night
take care
robbo
This is always going to be a tricky one over the net. I myself am a member of several of the groups that Mike is talking about - but I can see why many would not want to feel "ghettoised" (great word).
I feel comfortable there because I am self conscious about my size - and am always very cautious of misrepresenting myself to people. Even after I've shown people my pictures I go to great lengths to say what size I am and do they really realise what size that is - because I am so worried about getting to the point of meeting someone and them then deciding I'm too fat.
One of the greatest things about the human race is its diversity. And as you so rightly say yourself it is all down to personal taste. There will be plenty of times when you will reject men for various reasons - which they may sometimes think are unfair.
You'll soon find an gorgeous guy who feels the same way about you.
Cheers (from the Ghetto)

Thank you Mike biggrin
I don't want to offend or seem ungrateful but I'd rather not be labelled if you know what I mean? To me it would feel as if I'm in a group of people who arn't worthy to be on "normal" dating sites.... that's probably a load of cr@p but that's how it'd make me feel.
I know that not all men are like the ones I've been in contact with and that does make me feel somewhat better but it's always going to be a constant thing..... I'm learning to accept what I have and what I don't have..... I just wish every one else could be the same!
Maybe I should just stick to being single..... much less hassle that way and I won't get hurt!
I think I'm just angry in general at the moment..... must be the heat!
So, errm, what is your dress size? :shock: lol :lol: :lol:
No don't answer that, Judy TV will try to borrow it for the NW Munch!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Ooooh Sarge...... I knew someone would ask that question! rolleyes
Not gonna tell you biggrin

Yes.... you must be - 100% of the men I've chatted to from these sites have asked.

Well actually 1981 could be nothing to do with my age - it could be the date of my first kiss, or the first time I had sex or the first time........... Ok, you're right,as usual!
Crikey, took me bloody ages to do this reply!

Onlyme~
Don't despair the tossers, as there seem to be a lot more of those out there than there are "genuine" people. Vix & I get so many responses to our own ad that make it quite obvious that they've not read what we've written. Some even appear to be deliberately misrepresenting themselves as well, with clues like "Now, I'm not just saying this so I can shag Vix...", etc.
The annoying thing is investing your valuable time in these people, especially those where their "ingenuineness" is not so readily evident. All I can say is not to let them string you along. From what you've said, you're quite up-front about your physical attributes in your ad - maybe you should reiterate that when you first begin to chat with someone, just to make sure they actually paid attention to what you'd written!
I am kinda shocked by the "dress size" question, however. What difference do physical statistics make? Can they not judge attractiveness, according to their own personal standards, from a photo? What's the point of the numbers, unless you're out buying clothes? Or is this sad "36-24-36 ideal woman" myth in fact a more common reality than I'd like to imagine?
I suppose that most of us can be a bit shallow when it comes down to our physical preferences, and I'm no exception: I personally prefer women to be on the more Reubenesque / voluptuous end of the scale, whereas I cannot find a chubby man attractive in the least (which is one of the reasons we request a clothed, full-body photo in our ad - how shallow is that?). And I'm probably often the recipient of the same sort of prejudices as well: Who would want a tall, skinny, long-haired, 40-year-old bloke with an enormous beard?!
Celticq is absolutely right, though. Keep at it and, eventually, some gorgeous guy will stumble across one of your ads, make contact, and realize he's finally found his dream girl. It's just a matter of you being able to endure the vast population of tossers out there in the meantime.
Now, I may not be one of the "gorgeous guys" that Celticq is referring to in her post...but I, for one, find you very appealing! :love: ;)
Cheers,
~Reese! surprised

Ah - Now there's a phrase you can never hear to often :smug:
I don't think you have anything to despair about, A good friend of mine is in a similar situation to you, she is a bigger girl, and VERY self conscious about it (she has a thyroid problem).
Anyways she has used one of these internet dating sites and has moaned to me a lot about the tossers that use it, then one day she went to a speed dating thing. Now she has a really infectious personality and this seemed to work for her.. Which brings me to my point.
Its difficult for a person to see past the 'visual' when they are using the internet, but when she was at this speed dating thing they got to see the real her, the complete package, and soon men were flocking.
My advice,
Chin up.. Be happy with yourself and the rest will follow, I know that not all men are into perfect size 10's
Sean
my advice onlyme
ignore the tossers and keep looking for a real man
theres loads out there
and by the look of your av you look a right cracker wink
their loss not yours
Yep, That's what I was trying to say, only you managed it in half the words..
wink

I can't agree with that. I haven't seen most people on this site, yet I have formed friendships and opinions based purely on their personalities. Their looks are irrelevant now!! cool 8-) 8-)
I feel compelled to say that from what I can see of CQ (if that avatar is indeed you) there is absolutely nothing wrong with your size are you one of the women who are constantly dieting to get the type of figure that everyone else see they already have?
As for you onlyme, seems proportional to me, as The Beuatiful South said;
"Ev'ry penny don't fit the slot.
Ah, the anorexic chicks,
The model six,
They don't hold no weight with me,
Well, eight or nine,
Well, that's just fine,
But I like to hold something I can see.
'Cause we love our love,
In diff'rent sizes,"
And I'd just like to clarify that I'm not just saying this so that I can shag Vix!
Hey guys too brag about being a 34" waste. But dont tell you it is the size they wear because they cant get the waste over their beer bellies, and would be a 52" if they did not have the things fastened just above there balls with the ass hanging out the back. You can always retort and as him what size his neck is and have an idea of his build! All I can say is ignore the picky barstewards, and watch out for the rest of us totally unrestrictive types....

There are always people in this life who are a waste of breath, so please do not dispair.
It is whats inside that counts whether you are a waif like super model or lady of a larger stature.
People will like you for your inner self not your outer shell.
