- Karen, that's exactly right....and gail and i are fine examples of it...
- and i'm NOT saying that we are the most charming or delightful folks in the
- world....but we can be pleasant and happy....this is my fourth marriage and
- gail's third...and we've both been involved in more 'extra-curricular'
- crap in the past than we care to detail....(though NONE since married, and
- never will again....one of our mutual conditions and agreements and feelings
- about how special this relationship is)....
-
- anyhow, gail has been 119 pounds and skinny....and over 300....and now
- at a normal weight and nice figure...and i've always been over 225, and most
- of my life in the 300 lb range....and obviously in any normal sense of the
- words we have NOT been attractive people....we also lack traditionnally
- 'attractive' features,e tc.....anyhow....the point is that attractive doesn't
- mean SHIT in interpersonal relationships...and i was sexually harrassed
- when i was 300 lbs and married....
-
- and the ending of marriages has had nothing to do with beauty or size either,
- as neither of us 'got dumped because we got fat' or anything like that....in
- fact the chasing around had more to do with it in several of the five
- divorces between us....
-
- so the whole attractiveness stuff having ANYthng to do with sexiness or
- lust or ability to attract the opposite sex is purest BULLshit....and there
- are MANY others who can attest to the same thing.....
