That fucking dickhead. I can only hope he was pulled over that night for DUI, and now has a suspended license, was fired from his shit job, and is over his head in court fees.

Remember that and forget the rest. Nothing else matters.

I have a fat ass.

But he is still strong enough to ride to market every day, where I eke out a hardscrabble existence selling half-rotten fruit and shoddy trinkets to the gullible tourists.

Well, for every guy that makes a rude comment about your ass, I can guarantee there are many others who are certainly thinking nice things about it. Heck, I just smiled picturing a nice round bottom just now 😃

Speaking of Charlie Brown, he had a priceless comeback once. Lucy made one of her shitty remarks, and CB said, “I don’t know…No one has been rude enough to ask me about it before!”

arachnidlove, I had a similar thing happen this weekend. A guy who was very openly trying to get into my knickers suddenly did a 180 when I made it clear he hadn’t a chance. Can’t remember exactly what he said but it was something like … “that’s ok, I’ve been rejected by better than you. You’ve got a nice ass but you’ve no tits”. Fortunately I’m not sensitive about that so I just laughed it off, but I can imagine he _could_ have said things that would have bothered me a lot more. Anyway, just be proud of yourself for having the good sense to recognise him as a loser even before he proved himself to be one by making that comment.

Was that the same as the _Two Virgins_ cover?  
The kicker is that John has a nicer bush too, if you see the front! I’m not gay though…honest

I believe what you meant to say here was _ **BOOTYLISHIOUS** _.

This guy, clearly, is a Wanker with a capital W. Please don’t take rude comments like this to heart - I’m sure he’s just trying to make up for his own, um, inadequacies below the belt.

Al.

Just for what it’s worth, people here aren’t generally going to care either way\*, and if someone does give you shit on this MB for being gay, you may rest assured that they will get their ass handed to them so fast they’ll wonder how they managed to sit in the first place.

Same goes for you, **saudade**

\*If you’re cute or smart or whatever, the more non-heterosexual among us may wish you were less straight, but if you’re gay, as I said, no sweat:)

One of my buddies gave me an excellent way to do this, but only to a woman who’s very full of herself.

M: Can I buy you a drink?  
F: (Looks M over) Yeah. In your dreams.  
M: No, in my dreams, you’d be thinner.

I realize this is the same type of comment that wastoid made to you, but I wouldn’t feel bad saying it to some narcissistic stuck-up waif type.

That guy was a skeez. I happen to prefer women with a little meat on their bones, not those who walk around needing a pint of blood and a good steak.

Just remember, real men want a WOMAN, not a boy with tits.

And your ass is NOT too fat as long as you can walk down the mall without turning sideways.

Seriously, there are beautiful women who are thin. There are beautiful women who are big. It is what is inside that counts. Just look at all of the magazines and \<ahem\> porn sights that feature Big Beautiful Women. There are a lot of men out there who appreciate REAL women. IMHO all women are beautiful, some just haven’t realized it yet.
