No Fatties

She's right. There are a lot of men who post NO FATTIES in their ads, but I've noticed that they tend to be young men who still have a lot invested in the fantasy about the perfect woman.

My interpretation of M4W ads - 34

While cruising the M4W ads with no particular purpose in mind except to investigate the workings of the modern male animal mind, I have experienced two revelations: That many of these men post repetitively [there are guys that have a new ad up every day/weekend with the same photo] and they loathe overweight women. Now what construes a body as overweight can vary. Certain people have a tolerance for less body mass than others...but here is the catch: MOST WOMEN FEEL THAT THEY ARE OVERWEIGHT. I'm imagining there is a horde of women who'd like to respond to the ads but they are afraid the men would be repelled by their size 14 body. Yes, there are women with great slender bodies that are aware of how great they look....but these women aren't looking for mates on the internet usually. They meet men everywhere they go unless they are socially stunted.

So I get a real kick from the guys that are posting NO FATTIES in such a tone of frustration. I mean, not only are you desperate for a woman but you're looking for a body type that is natural only to 13 yr. old girls or less than 6% (I'm making shit up here) of the female population. I suppose that's why there are so many pedo's on myspace cruising for underaged girls. Did I just say that out loud?

I'm not saying you should not have a preference....goodness knows, I have preferences too...but I would not exclude someone I might have a great time with just because he doesn't have the black hair, green eyes and 6'1" body that I find attractive. I'm just making a late night observation. I'm not looking for dates, my weekends are already booked up with guys & friends that want to spend time with me.....and I'm a size 16.
