In chatting with my dear friend, Falcon, it seems she’s been feeling a bit down lately. So, I wanted to cheer her up, and show her just how much she’s thought of on here. And, since I’m a rather large woman myself, I can understand feeling at times like you’re just not pretty enough, or slim enough or that in some way you fall short of 'society’s ideas of what is a beautiful woman.
So, come one, come all, and let’s show our dear Falc’ what a lovely, special, amazing person she really is.
You have amazed me with your ability to put aside your own concerns to hold me while I cried the other night, even not knowing what I was so upset about. I’m sorry that I didn’t feel I could share it with you right now, too. But, that didn’t stop you from being there for me, and I so much appreciate it. And, from the pics I’ve seen, you’re a very beautiful woman too. Makes me a bit jealous at times. I don’t have your pretty face. I just manage to look fat and dumpy when I look in the mirror compared to you.
Thank you for being my friend, always, through thick and thin, Amy.
Hi, Falcon. I haven’t had the pleasure of really interacting with you on the board, but I wanted to let you know how beautiful and brave I think you are. I always enjoy reading your posts (and your webpage!), even if they do sometimes make cry. (Don’t worry – they make me smile most of the time.)
I know that whatever I say here won’t make life’s difficulties any less trying. I don’t know if they’ll even help ease whatever pain you’re going through. OK, jeez, I’m tearing up and being inarticulate – it kills me to think that someone as obviously amazing as you are has to deal with general crappiness.
You already have heaps of friends here, but if you’re in need of another one… well, I’m here.
(((((((((((((((Falcon)))))))))))))
Falcon and purplebear: Dear ladies, the size of your bodies is completely irrelevant to real people. It’s the size of your hearts that make you beautiful…which means you have shallow little Hollywood starlets beat hands down.
*TIME ELAPSED SINCE I QUIT SMOKING:
Six months, two weeks, three days, 3 hours, 11 minutes and 9 seconds.
8005 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,000.66.
Extra time with Drain Bead: 3 weeks, 6 days, 19 hours, 5 minutes.
Don’t let the turkeys get you down. Anyone who negates the value of a person because they are zaftig is a shallow, vapid, viperous, vain and vacuous villain. (Oops, got a little carried away with the alliteration. Hope it made you smile, just a little, though?)
Listen to MysterEcks, he is making good sense.
And for what it’s worth, I think you are BOTH beautiful.
Ummm…let me see here…Falcon: smart, wicked funny, charming, vivacious, fun-loving, football aficionado, Redskins fan, well-loved by SDMBers worldwide, and BEAUTIFUL. That’s about all I can come up with off the top of my tired head right now.
Falcon and Purplebear–the size of someone’s HEART is the most important facet of his or her body.
And well I know that you both are very well endowed there! You both have been extremely kind to me during my time on the boards. It’s gone neither unnoticed nor unappreciated.
I could go on and on about how funny, nice, beautiful, special, sweet, caring, flirtatious, intrepid, tender, friendly and attractive she is but I think “great” sums it all up.
Of course, you have to say it like Tony the Tiger for it to really come across the way I want it to. If you can’t do Tony the Tiger, then try to say it like…I don’t know…like Billy Crystal says, “marvelous”. Can’t do that either? Hmmm…well try it like Jay says, “Snootchie Bootchies!” No good? Well, try…oh hell, nevermind.
Anyway, she’s great and anyone saying or feeling otherwise (including the lady herself) will have me and my bitch to deal with and nobody wants that!
It’s too easy to make a judgement based upon what one sees and that judgement is clouded by our lifelong prejudices. Seems to me, someone who’s too lazy to get past that easy impression isn’t worth the energy it takes to fret over…
There was an eloquent point in there, but for the life of me, I can’t remember where I was headed. Still, having been dismissed by others because of my appearance, I know what you face. I’ve decided that I’m happy with me, more or less, and I don’t need approval from someone who doesn’t even know me. Their loss, ya know??
Falcon and purplebear, tho we’ve not interacted here so far, I’ve found you both to be classy, lively, and generally likeable. A pox on the clods! We’re better than that, eh?
I think many women worry about their weight at one time or other during their lives, and we seem to base our self-esteem on weight and physical beauty more than do men. It’s difficult to overcome this sometimes, but I agree with all the others at this thread that beauty is so much more than physical.
I have enjoyed your posts, Falcon (and of course, purplebear), and I hope you will be feeling better soon.
And I hope you’ll post at the limerick thread again!

The gay community has Girth and Mirth which is a larger framed acceptance type of group. I believe that BBW and BHM (Big Beautiful Woman and Big Handsome Men) are the straight equivalents. Hmm. After a search I found this http://www.oingo.com/topic/55/55758.html. You may want to look into it more. There is nothing at all wrong with being a big person (in fact, I only ever go out with bigger guys, as most of you know). If that is your thing, you can go there and at least meet other people who not only find you exclusively attractive but are generally all around nice people. Oh, and you wouldn’t even necessarily be the biggest or smallest person there.
Anyway, we love you Falcon. Obviously, I am not the only person who thinks you are cute. I won’t mention a certian CheifScott. Whoops? Did I say that with my out loud voice?
Purplebear, we love you too. You are so sweet. If I was straight I would marry you. I wouldn’t marry Falcon though because she beats me every time I see her. hhehehehehe
(Don’t worry – they make me smile most of the time.)
hhehehehehe
