- I agree with the posters who say they prefer to be wanted for who they are
- and not because of physical characteristics. Our physical appearance can
- change so dramatically over time. It would be very unsettling to know that
- my relationships were based on something that is destined to change.
-
- I absolutely refuse to devote much time and energy into maintaining a certain
- shape or a certain hair color. I would much rather spend my time learning
- to relate to people on a deeply connected level.
-
- Liking me because I am large is just as silly, shallow, and unacceptable as
- disliking me based soley on my size.
