Although I haven't found my soulmate yet, I have had two great relationships that were very close to what I hope that relationship will be like. I still keep in contact with one of these men, and he has told me more than once that he is more comfortable around me as a person than skinny women, because he knows that he won't "break" me - he isn't a huge or very muscular man, but he gave a skinny woman a hug and actually cracked one of her ribs! He has also told me how much he likes my curves many times, and has specifically said more than once that I have the "best set of breasts" he has "ever seen!"
As nice as that is to hear, what I find even more encouraging is when he says that the most beautiful part of me physically is my smile, and the most beautiful auditory part of me is my laugh. Although I've always been insecure about my size, those are things that I cannot change about myself; I can gain or lose weight, but it's pretty hard to change the way you laugh or how your eyes look when you smile.
I think relationships are like any other present/gift: although the packaging is great, it is what is inside that is more important and what you will keep. No matter what the occasion, the wrapping of a present is always discarded but the contents - the present itself - is always kept and remembered. Your size isn't what makes the person, but everything that you do and say - that's what they love....

I have been very lucky to have many admirers who LOVE my body and I am very secure with myself..I am now very much in love with a wonderful and TALL man that loves my body and me and I thank God everyday for bringing him to my life! I am a firm believer that you must first be comfortable with yourself in order for others to be comfortable with you!

I believe I my size hasn't been a factor in past relationships ending, however at the same time when it happens I could not help feelingthat it was my weight which caused it to end.
I'm now very happy in a relationship and my weight has fluctuated since we have been together yet WE STILL ARE TOGETHER.

I am so out of it when it comes to love. I seem to attract homeless men and jobless, toothless men over 45 who hang on street corners, OR gold teeth having bad R Kelly look a-likes who are just so not worth my time. As far as the kinds of fellas Im interested in, I like them confident, cynical, politically aware, comfortable with making themselves feel silly, can admit when they are wrong, stuff like that. I know a lot of guys who are like that too, but I have been put into the special category of “surrogate girlfriend”. Ladies, you know, the girl the guys will have dinner with, and talk about their life with, but not ‘pretty’ enough to date. Man do I get a lot of them. So its like, well what do I do? Some of the guys I simply enjoy as friends only, but I am so bad at starting a relationship that I just dont bother. Advice? S
