    Cheers for the comments folks- Both for an against

    I'm lucky/unlucky in respect that yes I am aware I'm a big guy and yes there is a stigm attached to that- There are also preconceptions that a big person is a un healthy person.

    I'll mention just a few thing

    I play Badminton once a week for around 1-2 hours.
    I don't like rich food, I prefer to eat salad and simply grilled chicken or some fish. My problem there can be the ammount I eat I feel, I have to be carefull that I don't fall into the depressed so eat to feel better.
    I have done the co-op Santa Dash last year.
    I used to bike, wake board and do Ju-Jitsu.

    And I wasn't much different to how I am now.

    So all though I am a big guy, I am not a inactive couch patatoe- Yes I do like watching TV but I prefer being out when I can

    I don't mind comments about my size- at the end of the day as I said before my size has a standard stigma with it. Both my mother and father are the same.

    I do find that it does depress me that people jump to the conclusion, but I understand why. I don't hold grudges, I don't get upset and I certainly don't take it as a insult. Instead I just try to explain it to folk.

    Unfortuantly, alot of girls look at there magazines that say you want this sort of guy. I know I'm not physically that sort of guy, and from my experiance guys who are sometimes are just shallow and dis-respectful to girls/women- No offense to any who have that physical look cause I am aware some of you are just decent honest folk.

    Instead, for me, I just try to be as true to the person I am as I can be. I don't want to live my life being a sheep. A friend of mine who is sadly no longer with us once said that he would rather spend one day as a Tiger then live like a sheep for the rest of his life. He was right, why should I want to be like someone else? I am who I am- I have fol around me who respect me and like me for me, not cause of what I look like or what I have, but because I am just myself.

    A few girls will know the Marylin Monroe saying very well, so I'm not going to type it, but thats the person I want. If you have to be something your not to impress someone then there not worth it.

    It all just takes time and instead of worrying about how long you've been single or why haven't I met some one, we should just sit back and enjoy the moments and the people who you spend it with

  • Oooh, good luck for friday lushplus!

    I seem to be getting on well with a guy on OKCupid. Thing is he lives about 50 miles away! Bit difficult to meet up for a quick drink.

    How far away is too far for you guys?
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
