Are you kidding? Just let him sit in a corner and hold your purse for you.

Don't go there the first day, or even the first week, of the annual sale. The crowds will be atrocious, and the prices are not marked down anywhere near their full potential. Definitely wait until the end of January. No crowds, but there are tubs of high-quality undergarments at rock-bottom prices.

At least offer to let you boyfriend come with you into the changing room, so that you can try things on for him and get his opinion.


I tried going in to Victoria's Secret today with my mom. Turns out I'll have to lose 20-40 pounds first before they'll have anything I can actually wear. So I got a bra from Sears today instead. I'm a bit frustrated so I won't be back there anytime soon. Maybe I'll be able to do their next annual sale. :/

Oh, so that's what that was about. I was puzzled as to what the link was between obese men, women's undergarments, and aspiring biological anthropologists who love to draw dinosaurs, etc.

A lot of high school girls have the Victoria's Secret Miracle Bra, and other pushup bras, to create the illusion of being boobier.

I'm sure that if a guy loves women, he'd want to give his opinion on lingerie from Victoria's Secret as you try them on. I know that, if I had a girlfriend, I'd love that.

I asked what kind of lingerie he liked. His answer was that if he was forced to choose he would pick lacy stuff but he prefers having me naked or in wench garb. :wink:

Are you sure you're supposed to know this kind of information?

To get back on topic:

I know several fat men who are in relationships with skinny girls. There is no such thing as a league. If a girl likes you for who you are, all those external factors won't matter.

Yes but most attractive women date men who are of a similar, or in some cases a higher level of attractiveness, and fat men aren't part of that equation.

Honestly, I think women don't mind as much as guys "generally" do. Women generally don't care if a guy is bigger, or a little on the chubby side. Women care about whether the guy takes care of himself and more importantly whether or not the guy takes "care" of them. Also all women are different so what attracts them to you will differ, physically, mentally, spiritually, etc. I've seen some VERY, non attractive guys date attractive women before.

I agree though, while you can be preferential, being picky while not expecting a girl you like to be picky is asking for trouble. To me it comes off as a form of self-hate, if you can't relate to anyone in the same situation as you. Not saying "Ooh you're overweight, you have to hook up with that overweight girl, hook up with whoever you want to. Just give people the same chance you'd want given to you.


I'd tell anyone hating on you because you're overweight or big to take a hike, but still be concerned about trying to make healthy lifestyle decisions. Being healthy and fit, isn't "needed" to attract anyone, but just like for a woman, it doesn't hurt either.

Ah, the great mysteries of women. The so-called "feminine mystique." No mystique at all, really.

I think the line between "big" and "fat" is quite subjective, unless of course you are obviously obese.

I think in general women prefer "big" men, you might not need to lose as much weight as you think you do.

Actually I think men who are unusually thin (like myself) have things just as bad as "fat" men.
