- It is fairly obvious to me that you haven't ever read the ads in
- alt.personals.ads. I would say that 95% of them are looking for a
- special body type.
-
- And as is to be expected, not having a lot of success in getting answers.
- I for one am not interested in a man whose first criteria is body shape. I
- don't care what body shape he is hung up on, it is degrading and dehumanizing
- to be wanted for your body shape not for yourself.
-
- It also seems like a real limiter to be so interested in body shape. The
- one thing sure about most of our bodies is that they will change shape over
- time. I certainly wouldn't be comfortable in a relationship with someone
- who was constantly judging my body. What if my apple shape turned to a
- pear shape or vise versa, would he stop loving me?
-
- One thing I can assure you, this group is not the right place for your post.
