Yes, fat distribution is genetic. It does not matter what you eat, where you eat, what kind of clothes you wear, etc.

For those who think it is OK to change someone else's body without them knowing about it:

People who are too thin often suffer the same discrimination as fat people. Strangers walk up to them and give them advice they should not be giving. People look in their carts when they shop and wonder what they buy. They assume that their eating habbits are wrong, even though some people are genetically very thin, and some are fat.

I think the fun thing, is for someone who is gaining weight to start wearing maternity clothes. Then not comment, and see what people say.

If a woman wants to be paid for a something that is sexual, that is pretty close to prostitution, in my mind.

Everyone has preferences. All you need to do is find someone who likes the way you look, or perhaps likes you despite their preferences.

I think it is the American equivilent of Guy Fawkes day. Lots of fireworks. Also a time for people to enjoy the summer by cooking out. It is the most patriotic holiday of the year.

Well, don't put down skinny women. I think the point of the post is about men who refuse to date BBWs even though they prefer them, as opposed to someone who may fall in love with someone who happens to be skinny.
