  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I had a first date last night with a guy I met on eHarmony. We've been emailing and talking on the phone for weeks and weeks now and get along like gangbusters. So I met him for the first time last night and it was weird. He's a big guy. A really big guy. And it is soooooo hypocritical of me for that to bother me as I'm no skinny minnie myownself. It bothers me when men make snap decisions about me because of my size. And yet my first thought was akin to repulsion when I first saw him. I HATE that that was my initial reaction. I am a hypocritical jerk!
I really enjoy talking to this guy. I enjoyed our meal. But I have zero physical attraction to this guy. Zilcho. I would love to continue to get to know him as a friend, but the thought of kissing him really ooks me. Arggg. I am such a jerk...
Why is dating so hard?
Interesting dilemma, You can't fake instant physical attraction but you can keep a friendship and see what happens. May I be so bold as to ask now that you have experienced both ends of the spectrum - being turned down due to your size and not be attracted to someone due to their size has that made you rethink the men point of view that prefer smaller women?

My most recent ex was a humungous man...like 400 lbs...and even though he was 6'7, he was still huge.

Like you, I LIKE big guys. But this was beyond big...it was life-threatening and unhealthy. A little fat on any person is not unhealthy, if they keep a healthy lifestyle. But my ex couldn't go for a hike, he couldn't be on his feet a lot, he took more pills in a day than I do in a year, and had a host of other health issues, all attributed to his weight.

So...if you're turned off by a severely overweight person, I don't think it's unreasonable or shallow, because it goes way beyond just how they look. It alludes to their lifestyle, their thinking, their habits. My ex could have lived a much healthier way, but he didn't...he had nothing to blame for his condition but himself. And THAT turned me off.
