Ok, one of the other discussions leads me to this question. I'm having a hell of a time settling on a body type to put on my profile. At what point does average become "a few extra pounds"? Granted, I'm losing that last bit of weight on my butt, so in a couple months it will be a moot point, but how do you think men perceive an average, "extra" & curvy woman's body?

Nothing irks me more than someone emailing me without reading my profile and you can totally tell.

I dont' want anyone that just looks at my pictures and deems I'm "worthy" of dating from those, I want someone that reads my profile and is interested in ME!

Hi Sally,


We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Oh girl, be honest, but also remember your body is very important. So I suggest saying you are average. You aren't lieing persay, a lie would be slender. Now that is a lie! You aren't treading there, so no worries!!! Say it loud, be average and be proud!!!

One time, several years ago, before everyone and their brother had scanners, I didn't have a picture up but I had a picture that I got later on, so some guy emailed me and wanted to chat, asked for my picture, he told me I was too big to date, I said Okay that's fine...have you looked in the mirror lately???

He was at LEAST 400 lbs. LOL

Hypocrisy astounds.

I agree on I get more looks, hitting on me and the "pleasantly surprised" look when meeting people out and about or sometimes on OLD then I do just going off pictures. I think my pictures depict me pretty well, but most often guys are "pleasantly surprised" so I must look worse in them. LOL

Layx2,

You should really put your body type as "average" because you don't look overweight, no matter what medicine says. I think most guys would pass over you simply because you put "a few extra pounds" & you don't show up in their searches. You have NOTHING to worry about. You are a hottie!
