It amazes me how much people complain because they meet some bad apples. For those looking for a relationship, you only need to find one right person.

I think it's important to talk about the problems--which I suspect are partly going to be true of any fetish site, but are amped up here by the negative images being fed to us *constantly* by fat-hating friend, family, and the media. It just makes it that much harder to hold your head high and do what's right.

But--and this is a VERY BIG *BUT*--we so often lose sight of the successes that happen all the time here. Romances, marriages, important friendships, small local communities, and all kinds of things happen while we're complaining about how bad things are.

I'm glad Atomic is asking us to count our blessings. And there's a lot to count.

This thread is giving me warm fuzzy feelings.

Yeah, true, but that's always the way. You eat mostly mediocre food, and every so often have something fabulous. You watch mostly mediocre--at best!--movies and tv, but every once in a while there's a life-changer.

Similarly, you date lots of crappy people who treat you badly so that you can meet someone who totally rocks your world.
