Are you physically attracted to or repelled by a fat person?

Are you physically attracted to or repelled by a thin person?

I'm answering these two together because I have the same answer for both: neither attracted nor repelled based simply on that criteria. I am attracted toward people that look like they take some time caring about their appearance, that are confident about themselves and have some pride in who there are. Folks like that come in all shapes and sizes. I do have a purely physical attraction toward men with muscular arms, broad shoulders and (oddly enough, perhaps) nice hands. Don't know where that last little asthetic quirk came from, but there you go. *shrugs*



What body type attracts you most?

Hmmm, guess I kinda' answered this one up above as well. I'm an over-achiever that way.



How have your own body issues affected your love/sex life?

I wouldn't say my issues have affected my love/sex life in any way, but I still do look in the mirror and wonder if my breats would look better larger or if I could stand a little more curve here and there. I doubt anyone is completely happy with who they are physically.

One thing that does bother me occasionally, however (and there's even a little of it going on in this thread), is the fact that very few people are even remotely sensitive to the weight related comments they make towards "skinny" people. Both my mother and I have extremely hyperactive metabolisms to the point where if we don't eat four or five times a day we feel sick or, at the very least, light headed. I cannot tell you how many times we have been called anorexic, bulemeic, accused of being drug users or have been told we "need to eat more." If, in response to that, we actually say it's a metabolic issue the response we often get is a very snide, "must be nice!" I have had complete strangers walk up and tell me I "make them sick" or tell me that skinny people "freak them out." What the Hell?

Okay, rant over now, please feel free to remove your seatbelts and move about the thread.
