You know there are quite a few fairy tales where thoughtless lads and lasses get their comeuppunce for not being nice to an old hag, cranky old man, beast, cat etc. Then a true and good person comes along and treats them nicely and hey presto the beast/hag/cat turns into a gorgeous person!! I’m not sure if this is totally a good thing or not, but there are at least SOME fairy tales that do recommend good manners to all, regardless of appearance…

@Josh – haha I’ve been caught by gravatar before, but I was trying to comment anonymously on a post that I had also written anonymously, so it was much worse. Yeah that’s me on the About page. Thanks for the compliment.

@Helen – only if you wear a blonde wig and your eyes say “Sex me up.”

@Tom – if you’re trying to invite douchebaggery, I recommend wearing a shirt that says “ugly” or similar. Has it really been seven years? Jebus.

@Zac – very true, although I think you can have both too.

@Nick – I think most people have at least a vague limit on the size of others, in regards to what they find sexually attractive… but I do find it bemusing when people actually quantify it like that (and specify sizes.) It’s like on dating websites, how you can specify the exact height of your preferred partner. Are these people serious? Would they reject their soulmate over half an inch? (haha) apparently so!

@Cat – you know who inspired some of this? Wurtzel in More, Now, Again. I love the part where she talks about body image and she says “I am the only woman I know who thinks she’s gorgeous. I love my body. So what?” Cause I read that and thought ‘omg how wanky…but AWESOME.’

@Kahlee – your point is there. I think that men are, by nature, so sexually driven that a lot of them do judge.. And I guess how you define a “real man” is another matter entirely (and another post) but I do agree with you.

@Andy – a lot of self-help books will tell say you have everything you need! (Except, of course, the book.) You shush! xxx

With a world built on consumerism, its never gonna say you’ve got everything you need. You’ve gotta fight to convince yourself of that.

As for Neek – Hots. She’s got them

My OH once told me that a real man won’t judge a girl because of her size … So I have to agree with Nick up there in not being a big fan of some of the arseholes that you’ve dated, Neek!

Look @ this year’s Biggest Loser – Sam’s OH was quite an attractive guy – and he saw her for who she was, not her clothing size. It was just sad that she couldn’t love herself until she got to a certain size ..

I’m not sure where I’m going with this – I did have a point, but I lost it somewhere along the way.

GREAT post xo

“As long as I stay below a size 10 (the upper limit of the “acceptable weight range” of most guys I date)”

I’m not really the biggest fan of the guys you date. Who the hell has that sort of rule?

Beauty is skin deep, ugly is on the inside

This was a great read and so very true; too many people jump to the quickest conclusion and for many that’s an attack. Felicia, I can definitely relate to what you’re saying, though I came to embrace and almost entice it by wearing loud or obnoxious clothing intentionally.

And for the record everyone, I could hardly talk to Neek the first few times I met her seven years ago. She was hot back then too.
