They deserve someone more suitable perhaps. Saying that one persons desires overrides another persons desires is the thing you were attempting to avoid but you said it anyway.

This is a fat acceptance and enjoyment site. The reasons many fat people do not enjoy being fat is to do with how they see themselves through the eyes of others. People have been programmed to hate fat so even some fat people hate fat and they know other people hate them for it.

WLS is justified on health grounds but is motivated out of this hate of fat. The health justification is false because it's more dangerous than actually staying fat.

Accept what is unchangeable and change what is unacceptable.

I expect some did but it would have spoiled their experiment if they had shown those.

The whole civilized world is a conditioning process to get us to think in particular ways about things.

Sometimes the process is right in your face as with this TV programme and news paper articles. Sometimes it's more subtle such as doctors telling you that obesity is unhealthy. Obviously if you are carrying around a lot of weight then depending on your health it might be too much strain for you but they have it backwards. If you are unhealthy and fat then it might be your poor health that's made you fat. I think my poor health has made me short sighted. There is a stigma attached to wearing glasses, or used to be but the stigma of being fat is massive (pun intended).

If the media wanted they could probably start calling people "4 eyes" and other insults but they would probably have to work up to it. Start by pointing out all the bad people who wear glasses and link this with some sort of character trait. Then let the public do the rest. They have been there and done that.

I suspect that with this latest round of ham fisted attempts at slandering fat people it's actually reverse psychology. Provoke a public backlash whilst educating people about the existence of feeders and feedees. There was another article in the Daily Mail where a plus sized model talks of her dating experiences and how she got chatted up by weird feeders who though she was not fat enough. Now this will be news to many women. Most on hearing this for the first time will publicly say "eeew, disgusting" but secretly they will be very turned on and go looking.

What is clear by looking at the Internet are all the huge young women who were not even born when I started looking online for SSBBW. They have a very different attitude to fat women of 20 years ago.

Well since she said a few extra pounds any FA would have been hoping for more ;-)

OK, when you said you found it 'interesting' I thought you were giving your opinion and feelings on it. What are your feelings on the women not being rude and the men being rude?

Yes it's interesting that you look at it this way. The men were more demonstrative over their disapproval of meeting a fat woman. We don't know if the women were just as disproving but chose not to show it. You say that you would not have been so rude if the man you came to see had grossly misrepresented himself.

But would you have been secretly angry about having been lied to?

It's more than just one woman deceiving a man. It's attempting to drive home the message that all fat women are unattractive. Why do they want people to believe this?

Clearly the manipulation still works but the best news is that people are seeing through it. If the media lie about the attractiveness of fat girls then what else are they lying about? Everything?

I am quite please to see the replys under the Daily Mail article are now mostly getting the points;
1. The woman lied.
2. A slim dating ad photo will attract men who like slim women.
3. A fat dating ad photo will attract men who like fat women.
4. It has nothing to do with which is more popular, fat or slim women.

So what of a dating agency that do those sort of experiments?

And of the media who publish the results for the purpose of making men look bad and fat women feel bad?

I feel it's not just the people who dressed up who are in the wrong. It's a larger mess than that.

They can't just come out and say that fat women are unattractive, they use this as a 'contraption' to let someone else 'prove' they are unattractive.
