- If you go back and read the relevant post more carefully, you'll see that
- Tina did not say she didn't want to date people who are overweight, she
- said she didn't want to go to a party that "fat people" might attend.
- Later, she clarified that she didn't want to associate with any overweight
- people because she was offended by their lack of self-esteem and initiative.
-
- She didn't get flamed because she didn't want to date/sleep with overweight
- people -- that, as you indicate, is a matter of pheremones and personal
- preference. However, not being willing to attend a party that might be
- polluted by such people is an opinion eminently flamable, imho.
-
- I'd think the flames would be a welcome change from 8-degree weather, if
- nothing else :->
