I have a friend who has a great personality, very giving, and is trusting and honest and who believes in monogamy. She is intrested i another friend of mine but is afraid to ask him out. I think they would make a perfect couple because he is wanting someone who wont cheat on him and who wants a commited relationship. He is a great looking guy and has no problems getting dates but is now wanting a real relationship that could possibly lead to marriage. But the reason my friend wont ask him out is because she is a size 14 and is very self concious about it. She sees the type of girls that flirt with him so she just assumes that is the type he is looking for. But I keep telling her to never judge a book by a cover and to start out as friends and see what happens. She is a beautiful woman but she isnt a size 6. So my question is would you go out with a lady who wasnt a size 6 or would her size play a factor in getting to know her.

I feel very sorry for your friend, to believe that size makes a difference. It is the last thing that should be considered, trustworthy ,integrity, honesty, caring , sharing, helping people help themselves, is far More important than figure size, or any body part for that matter. It is like women who will not go out with short or bald men, they have no idea how much fun they are missing, because the men feel that they have to compensate for their shortness or lack of hair so there fore are very caring and kind and just a Lot of fun to spend time with. I would never spend time with some one who worried about body parts, they can and do change shape and even can be lost forever, so it is ridiculous to even make a big deal about that.

i felt so sad for your friend.. but she don't have to be sad and lose her hope... we still dont know what will happen tomorrow or next..maybe she still have to wait for the proper time.. and we don't know that two friend of yours will become lovers someday..

There is much more to consider about a person than their size. She should at least meet with him as a friend, and see if anything more develops, rather than being afraid to get to know him at all. You never know what may become of it.

It is so easy to empathize with this lady, I lost a husband because I gained weight, not a lot, but enough to see a difference.I didn't care that he was bald on top of his head and hairy as an ape everywhere else. Society makes us all think there is a perfect look for all women/men. Look at all of the eating disorders just so we can look like what society sees as the perfect body. There are hair dyes,waxes,creams,perms,makeup, diet fads and it is all in huge demand as we all try to look like the perfect man or woman. It starts when we are young and try to catch the eye of the cute,popular boy/girl in school. Maybe if we wear lipstick,he will think I'm older and prettier. It is all so very,very wrong. True beauty does come from inside. Too bad we have to get older to learn those lessons in life. By then we have missed so much.I hope she will at least give him a chance to see the real her.
