This is totally false.  But, to back up, this conversation did not start assuming a 'few pounds.'  Dostogirl said something like, "love me no matter what my shape."

Albert, you can be true in the case of trophy wife... but a woman is more that a body...

Of course, i am happy to have a hard body in the evening, in my bed... but if she is a real b!tch in day time, i will certainly trow it...

All my previous girlfriend... who have lead to a misluck relation was below 50 kg for more that 1m70... now, the actual one is around 70 kg ( ok, it seem heavy but she is more high that me  )...

From my personal experience, more they are beautiful, more they are b!tch... so woman are perfect for a sexual encounter but not for make a long term relationship... maybe it is the reason that after so much date ( some hundred ) that you have no yet find the right woman... don't you think it is time to change your strategie... dating is great but the goal is marry and build a family...

Of course, you make what you will but if marriage is your goal, you are on the wrong way... if it is fun, continue... but never forget that same men are not young forever...

Albert, why do I not believe you?

You are the only one on this board who continually brags about his sexual conquests. Guys do mention it but you dedicate entire threads to it.

If you knew anything about true love it would amaze me. I don't mean sexual love.

[TigerPaws]

Some may take the high road and assert that they would never stop loving another because of weight, etc., but they are just blowing smoke up our 'xxxxx' and deluding themselves with such rightous talk.  And worse, their words convince their significant other that it is actually true, which will only make the poundage increase.

Albert is speaking the truth, a couple of pounds will not make all that much of a difference but at some point it will, only you know aht that point is. But to deny having your lady pork up will not change the way you look at her and you are deluding yourself.

My wife is allergic to things like dust and animal dander. Recently she asked me to find some "Lyon" (pronounced as one syllable) which I looked up and found to be flax, of which I bought a plastic container in pulverized form. "No - I need flax  seeds" she explains. She intends to place the seeds in some sort of material, much like a teabag and then inhale while this contraption covers her nose, no kidding. I'm in stitches at the absurdity, but I'm curious if this method is common practice or particular to her family or region.

Note: I have no idea what my wife weighed this morning nor a year ago today. It's amusing to me that people monitor such things, and consider shape in itself a dealbreaker. I never took the words For Better Or For Worse very lightly - but now I'm wondering if I were to put on 30-40 lbs - would she kick me to the curb?

[dostogirl]

This is totally false. 

OK, lets say I gained a lot, I'm size 24 for example. Usually people who are that overweight are unhappy with themselves, have a lot of health problems as well as problems in personal and sex life. I can see my husband not liking that - me changing, my character changing, but I don't see him getting upset cos I just gained 30-40 pounds (which happened to me before). One more question for you. If your lady gets pregnant and naturally gains weight for 9 months of pregnancy and at least a year (happens a lot) after, what are you gonna do? Divorce her?

[Bruno]

OK, lets say I gained a lot, I'm size 24 for example.

Perfect for the actual weather... here in Belgium, it is now -7 °C with snow... so woman keep the bed hot... some winter protection... and in some way, it is more confortable that the bone top model :D:D

Be optimist and see the good side of thing

My husband says there will be two of me to love

[Son of Clyde]

Albert really got to me.

I would be very upset if my wife put on a lot of weight but I would still love her.

People can lose the weight if they are willing to diet and exercise. Happens all the time. I knew a woman who lost over 100 pounds.

In a few months, I'm making the trip to finally bring her home.  I'm going to bring her family a nice big unhealthy sugary, high calorie, 5 pound Hershey Bar.   The kids will go crazy when they see it.  Over a year ago, I brought one to Panama for the Holidays and it was a hit.  Probably less cumbersome is the special custom message Chocolate bar at only 2 pounds.  No matter where I go in the world, kids will love you if you got sweets.

About the veggies though.  They don't seem to be the same veggies that I usually eat, corn, peas, green beans etc.  They tend to eat mushrooms, radishes, onions and cucumbers.  It takes a lot of getting used to for me.

I think if one partner gains a lot of weight there is a respect issue.  If this happens I see this as a person who is presenting a false impression of themselves, same as lieing.

Here in the North of England we eat Black Pudding and that;s mainly pigs blood.

Belgians eat bacon that's almost all a big lump of fat - yuk!!!!

With regards to food preferences of FSU women, it really depends on a family like everywhere else.  Most of the people I know in Belarus don't eat greasy food… but lots of fruits - vegetables and diary products which are of an excellent quality.

With regards to fast food and frozen dinners in US - they just taste like crap… don't mean to offend Burger's and Taco's lovers.  I think if you eat good quality food, you won't have any taste for crap.  I love pizza but not kind of pizza from Pizza Hut, but from good Italian restaurant… NY's pizza is one of the best pizzas!  I eat only organic diary products but not because I'm concerned about the health but because it tastes better.  I looove dark chocolate and French croissants!!

I can eat pretty much any  food but because it's a good quality and I don't eat that much, in the right time of the day and love to walk my size is still zero even after having a baby.

 

I think statements like "he loves me in any shape and size" are selfish and self-delusional.

I believe everybody should take care of their body if they respect themselves and the others.

It's nice to see good-looking people and I don't mean only beauties from a cover of magazine but people who take care of themselves… Honestly I'm disgusted when I see overweight people or people wearing ugly baggy clothes …   When we moved to NY from Texas I was pleased to see so many people who take care of themselves.  It seems that sun shines brighter this way -lol.   

I enjoy looking at beautiful people… it's an aesthetic pleasure for me… kind of like looking at the art work… [/i][/b]

and I want my husband to enjoy looking at me - that's a hell of a reason to stay in a good shape.

Black pudding is very popular in Russia

[dostogirl]

2. Honestly I'm disgusted when I see overweight people or people wearing ugly baggy clothes …   

 

1. What so bad in that? I think being selfish (to a healthy extend) is good. I love myself as I am and I'd like my husband love me as I am as well.

2. Well, it's your point of view. Just don't look at them. And the clothes, c'mon, no one needs your fashion lectures here. Everyone has one's own style. I just can't stand when someone tells me how to dress.

[mischief]

dostogirl, don't take it to heart... you can be as much selfish as you want just don't be overweight for your and your husband's sake...

By the way, I was not writing about style and fashion... but about dressing nicely and looking good in whatever you are wearing...

[dostogirl]

Meaning being skinny?

[TigerPaws]

[color="blue"][size="4"]Yup! Thin is better, how many nice looking women are FAT (20 or more pounds overweight). Not to say that some men don't like the porkers (oink, oink) but that is a rare mental illness.

[Shadow]

It all depends on your optimism.

If you marry a very beautiful woman, her beauty can only fade. IF you marry a less beautiful woman, she might look better with age.

If you marry a skinny woman, she can only be fat. If you marry one with some extra weight, she might lose it.

If you are on top, the only way to go is down. If you are half way, it can go either way.  :cool:

[mischief]

Not necessarily … some women look much better (and sexier) with some extra pounds ...

[dostogirl]

20 or more pounds overweight

wow, you are scaring me. Do you really think that at age 30 weighing 20 pounds more than at age 20 is FAT (yeah, just like that, in big letters)
One more question, how many guys are "overweight" here?

[Bruno]

I am

 

[TigerPaws]

[size="4"][color="blue"]I will be honest I am carrying an extra 10lbs, hard to loose it when my lady keeps on cooking those gourmet meals but I am trying.

^{So there is no misunderstanding YES!}
 
 

Very sad.  I don't see how 20 extra pounds will make a person worse

[TigerPaws]

[size="4"][color="blue"]dostogirl,

A  good example, when my lady arrived in America she was 5' 7" 128 lbs  and was a size 4. After our daughter was born her weight leveled out for a while at 140 lbs which was a size 10 and the difference was dramatic in how she looked. Now she is 118 lbs and a size 0 and even she has a difficult time believing she was that big.

 Even 10 lbs can matter it all depends on the person, put an extra 20 lbs on and most girls begin to look like a pig.

 Of course it all depends on where she starts, a very good friend of mines wife is 5' 10" and when she arrived here she weighed 119 lbs and was really too thin, almost 6 years later she is 130 lbs and really look great.[/color]

TP,

You are describing a different value system than dostogirl. She, and many others, have difficulty relating to the strength of your perspective which seems focused much more on 'surface' aspects of a person, than on the deeper elements of their soul.

I am neither agreeing, nor disagreeing, in this post - merely pointing out the differences (as I see them anyway).
