I've been thin, and I am currently overweight. I don't consider myself unattractive, and unless I'm looking for a sexual partner I really don't give a d#mn about other people's opinions.

People like what they like. The end.


Aren't you married?

For almost a decade. And no, not looking. :wink:

Yuzu, it is now your choice to continue to deliberately misunderstand. If you honestly don't get what I'm saying, send me a PM and I'll explain it further, but I'm not going to derail this thread by engaging in a pointless semantic battle with you.

Fine, you can PM me your answers to my questions I asked in my last post.
I'd like simple answers to those specific questions.

If you're "not railing against underweight women", why did you say "My beef is with women who starve themselves to maintain an unrealistic weight/body shape."?
Why do you have a beef with them anyway?

Nope, since you're the one who has a problem with it, you can PM me if it really matters to you. While you're at it, you can explain why it's okay to assume evil intent from someone who's new on this forum, about whom you know nothing. You are putting words in my mouth, and that is much more offensive than the unintentionally semantically incorrect statement I made....and then went out of my way to clarify, several times, after you jumped my s**t.

I see your responses as attention-seeking, not clarity-seeking. If you are deliberately choosing to misunderstand, I can't fix that. Carry on.

If only it was one time.

It's ok, I won't tell anyone that you had your fifth burger this week.

Now you made it clear. That's what I was looking for. Because you didn't answer my questions in a more direct way, I wasn't sure if you made "the semantically incorrect statement unintentionally." Now you admit it I can move on.
You don't know me either and if you do, you would know that I have no evil intent for you and I was really trying to understand what you really meant.

Thank you. FWIW, you came across as simply wanting to start a s**t storm, and not really wanting to know what I meant at all. I'm glad it wasn't that.

It's because you were jerk before and called skinny women "bags of bones".

Now imagine someone is describing overweight people as bags of fat....


Yeah, and I clarified my intent there, too. Which is why I felt like Yuzu was simply trying to pick a fight and didn't really care about my answer.

So, guys on here can be totally misogynistic, pretty much all the time, and that's okay, but let a woman make an offhand, snide remark about blindly following society's dictates that one can never be "too rich, or too thin" and that comes across as offensive? LOL!

But, thanks for letting me know I came across as a jerk. I'll be sure to let all the rest of you know when you're coming across as jerks, too. :lol: :wink:

:oops:

I had typed a post a couple pages back about my original, unintentional, semantically-incorrect statement and corrected it. It appears, however, that the ether ate it, because it's not there now.

That is why I thought Yuzu was being such a jerk about it. My bad.

To be completely honest, slightly underweight. Why? I just prefer the way they look, compared to women who are slightly overweight. I mean, I would prefer a woman of a "healthy" weight, but it's easier for someone who is underweight to gain weight, than it is for someone overweight to lose weight.
