verhrzn Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 You can believe the moon is made of green cheese, it doesn't matter. Just post a current photo taken within the last two weeks. The last two weeks?? What, are you best friends with professional photographers or something? I barely have any photos that are newer than November (most of them are from family outings at Christmas.) Link to post Share on other sites

POSTING A PHOTO THAT ACCURATELY DEPICTS YOUR SHAPE IS NOT ROCKET SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Whew, I feel better now. Carry on. And what, do the MySpace shot? Or the "shot of me in the mirror" like a duck-faced teenager? Even if your shape didn't turn the guy off, those ridiculous photos would. And unbelievably, some of us feel uncomfortable asking our friends to take our picture every two weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, slowly now; you do not need a new photo every two weeks unless you're losing or gaining huge amounts of weight. If you just can't wrap your head around producing an accurate photo in this age of technology then I'll write a little blurb for your profile. Feel free to use it if you like. Here goes: "I'm working on getting into better shape but for now I'm a big beautiful woman. My current weight is (insert your weight here). If you're only attracted to thinner women then please check back in future. :)" Ok then, problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites

"Take a picture of yourself every two weeks." 2) The problem with your little "blurb" is everyone has a different definition of "big." As other posters and myself have said over and over again, weight (and its impact on attractiveness) is incredibly subjective. I am 5' 1/2" and 121 pounds. QUICK, am I "big and beautiful"? Because I have been told, using the exact same photo, that I am "chubby" "average" "curvy" and "overweight." In person, I've been told (within the exact same day, because I was running a social experiment) that I am skinny, athletic, curvy, "kinda chunky," overweight, and a sea cow. Everyone has different definitions of weight, what those arbitrary measures are, and photographs are not always freaking accurate. Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 No I said to take a photo within the two weeks prior to creating your new dating website profile so it's how you look when you created that profile. I have a five year old digital camera. It has a 10 second timer. I put it on an ironing board across from my couch at eye level. I take about ten photos in various poses and pick one good head shot and one body shot. Not rocket science! Nowadays, because people have camera phones, you can buy good cheap digital cameras at pawn shops since cameras are going the way of the buggy whip. I plan to upgrade in the future that way. I take a new photo once a month, by the way, if I'm on a website for a longer period of time. In the body of my profile I mention the date. Some websites let you write captions. Or you could just leave the date stamp showing on the photo. Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone has different definitions of weight, what those arbitrary measures are, and photographs are not always freaking accurate. My daughter is 5ft tall, medium bone structure, she weighs 98 pounds & is quite curvy with ample breasts, she won't allow her weight to go above 105 pounds because she "guts out" You aren't BBW material but I'd say you are a good 15-20 pounds overweight based on your height and your description of your mid section.

J322Y Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 For example, my measurements are: 40" shoulders, 36" bust, 32" waist, 37" hips. QUICK, imagine it! I bet you anything the image in your brain doesn't look anything like what I actually am. I hadn't read the post above until just now. I did as you said and quickly imagined that figure and I got a little aroused. Granted, I haven't been properly laid in a long time, but I bet there are a lot of doods that would love to get their hands on your curvy little body. Link to post Share on other sites

J322Y Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Except I just got told I'm 20 pounds overweight. Isn't that funny? I don't really care about your 20 pounds sweetheart. Do you really believe that men won't appreciate your shape? You don't need to attract every man on the internet, you only need one or maybe a few more depending on your goals. I'm short. I rule out about 60% of my "daily matches" in less than 3 seconds by looking at their height requirements. Some might say that the prettiest girls tend to specify tall men, but I don't care either way because I'm not trying to find 1000 women. I looked at hundreds of profiles and sent a lot of emails in order to meet three. The third woman I met from OLD is sexy and great and I'm only seeing her now. She doesn't like tall men. I'm four inches taller than her and it's perfect for us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MagnumOpus Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 My only addition is that if you're going to hit the red button for the ejector seat, you probably shouldn't send an apologetic text. "Sorry I got scared for my life and jumped out the closest window," just doesn't have a nice ring to it. :-P Link to post Share on other sites
soserious1 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Except I just got told I'm 20 pounds overweight. Isn't that funny? Look, you've sporting 40 inch shoulders & a 32 inch waist & you're only 5 ft tall. Petite women can get a boxy, tank like build with just a few extra pounds. Now you can either decide to get serious about getting rid of the extra pounds or get serious about finding a way to meet men who prefer meatier gals. Alternatively, you can lower your dating standards to create a wider pool of potentially eligible men. Or you can sit here on LS bemoaning your fate & trying to think up ways to force men to think you're "hot" the choice is yours. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm already starving myself and going to the gym 4 times a week, on top of 3+ hours of other aerobic exercise. What else would you like me to do to be considered "serious"?

What else would you like me to do to be considered "serious"? Target men who like your current shape while you work on losing weight. What do you have to lose? Do you want someone to love or are you more interested in impressing people? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

aj22one Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Illegals are everywhere. If I was feeling nitpicky I'd point out that they're "undocumented". "Illegal immigrant" is a mythical term that didn't exist until the last few decades. Link to post Share on other sites
Leigh 87 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 It is unfair in some instances. It is a known fact, that a guy does NOT have to be an A hole, to NOT like obese or very over weight women. To sleep with them, that is: they can like their personality. My boyfriend met one chick of a dating site. She had an over head shot, of her face: her nack was stretched out, so her neck was stretched out. She had no indication that she was 95 kilos, and only average height.... My boyfriend met her, and had NO idea she was very over weight. He did not appreciate being lied to, however, he still picked her up in his car, and talked to her, to see if she was a cool person. She turned out to be boring, so he did not get back to her. If your over weight, for true medical reasons, and u cannot afford a doctor to fix it; aim towards saving to afford treatment, and in themeanwhile, only try to date other obese people, OR, at least be HONEST about your weight situation. There are average sized men who have a thiing for large women. Link to post Share on other sites
Leigh 87 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I look better in real life, I am not photo genic, due to my face shape...... HOwever, there is a difference between looking unnatractive in pics, to being down right DECIEVING: eg, looking average/curvacious, to being down right obese. WOrse still, not SHOWING your body, and turning out to be over weight. Link to post Share on other sites

"Illegal immigrant" is a mythical term that didn't exist until the last few decades. If you're not in the country legally, you are in the country illegally so are an illegal alien. "Undocumented" is a recent term used by Latino activists. That discussion is for a different forum, however. Verhrzn might get lucky and find an illegal who wants to marry her.

That's why you kick them out before they become a problem! You're being ridiculous Vertical. Just go to newegg, order a digital camera and then ask someone to snap a few pics. You can even use the endeavor as an excuse to talk to a guy you're interested in. Maybe by the end of the photo shoot he will be asking you out. Link to post Share on other sites
