strangely, I am finding that as being fatter right now, I am getting more approaches from men, and weirdly feel more confident in my body than when I was thin.
I dont really like looking at all the flab in the mirror, but when I dont have a mirror in front of me, my weight isnt affecting me.
I am a more confident person now, and a lot of it is because I am older now and have a better idea of who I am than I did in past years. So in many ways it is unrelated to weight.
There are actually a lot of guys out there that prefer more full-figured women. Some guys even fetishize women who go beyond "overweight" and into the land of "obese". Apparently the author of the blog post has never heard of BBWs. Assuming that just because a girl has a few pounds on her that she should have no standards is pretty darn stupid.
I think attractiveness has quite a bit more to do with confidence than it does with what you look like or how much you weigh. Which isn't to say you can go around looking like Baron Harkonen and think you're sexy and have members of the opposite sex fawning over you, but being comfortable in your own skin, and
feeling like you're attractive goes a long way toward convincing other people that you are. I'm pretty chubby, and probably always will be, but in college I had a fairly easy time attracting girls I was attracted to because I was funny and confident and felt comfortable with myself.
