Hey, you just described me and I’m really offended.

If people believed what you said they might think that I’m a lazy bastard because I am slim. If they think I’m a bastard that reflects poorly on my parents.

You aren’t insulting my momma are you?

I think I met you at the gym once. Weren’t you the muscle head who scoffed at me when I asked to rotate in on some equipment. You were really embarassed when I could press more than you could.

I can’t believe you have carried a grudge this long and found me here. I had really thought I’d lost you.

Vision, you can’t put down the appearance of others without providing a picture of yourself. Come on! Let’s see it.

I have been thinking about it and I still can’t see why you decided to bring up this topic. You brought up some lame reason for it again and again.

Well, let me tell you this.

I used to be a swimmer, I worked out very lightly as a teen, mostly swam for competition. You know what they used to call me? “Jock Woman” because of my short stature and the fact that at the slightest amount of working out I looked like a miniature football player as I bulk out. A 5’3" young woman who looked like a football player. Oh yeah some might find that mildly attractive but when your teenage male counterparts have smaller shoulders, legs and arms than you, you pretty much feel like a freak of nature.

I would love to have long sulty legs, arms that keep going and a neck that doesn’t look like I have swallowed a whole chicken butt end first and it got stuck right at where a man’s adam’s apple is. But that’s not me.

I am short and stocky. Some days I love it, some days I hate it. But it will ALWAYS come down to who your parent’s are. I have known girls who are 6’ at twelve years old and could trip over a pebble. I have known boys to be gangly and eventually be more muscular than anyone on the block. I have dated and almost got married to a man who was extremely thin but did have well defined muscles. I have dated a man who was muscle bound and could bench press more than anyone we knew. I have dated short men, tall men, thick men, skinny men…but it always has gone back to one thing, if they are compatible with me emotionally then they are the ones I look back on as people I care about. I have dated balding, thin, short fat, etc…I know I pretty much am the problem but I can’t think of one man I dated that would not see me in a restaurant or a club and at least want to see what I am up to, in a sincere way.

My best friends are not of the skinny variety or the extremelly thin variety, they are people and people first and foremost. I have a friend that walks on a cane because of MS, at first it was mildly strange but I got used to it because I got to know her inner being. I have a friend that is deaf and a grandmother that was legally blind.

What I am getting at is, skinny, fat, thin, limping or whatever does not make the person. If your “friend” is skinny and can’t lift more than a five pound wieght, so what, if he is your friend then be a friend and not a judgmental ass, not only with your friend but on the boards as well.

OK, that’s enough already.

Vision:
I think you’d better think again the next time you start a thread. As you can see, this topic did not go down very well. I think you can understand why. Next time, make sure you word your opinion in a more constructive way - to say the least.
The next time you start a topic, I’d advise you to town down the profanity a notch as well. MPSIMS is a forum intended for well-mannered chit-chat. Insults and gratuitous profanity belong in the BBQ Pit.

Teeming Millions (well, not all of them):
The next time a thread like this comes up, I’d appreciate it if you don’t start slinging insults at the OP, no matter how inane or insulting you think the subject is. Don’t curse at someone in MPSIMS, even if you do think it will end up in the Pit anyway. Just because no moderator spots it for a few hours doesn’t mean you have Carte Blanche to behave like a howling mob. You all know this already. If a post offends you, e-mail a moderator.
