• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Just for fun...

Exactly. What's with that. :scratch:

Look at our society. It basically tells women that we can't be too thin or too beautiful and that it's impossible (or nearly impossible) to be thin enough or beautiful enough. I'm 4'11" tall, but I won't tell my weight. I rarely even allow my doctor to weigh me. Most people tell me I'm thin, but when I look in the mirror, I see a very fat person. This isn't unusual though. A lot of women I know are like me in this regard.

Our society looks at people that are model like people and what happens if that person is handsome or beautiful on the outside but a monster and a jerk on the inside? That is so, so sad but true in our society.

Please don't let this turn out like the "Obesity" thread a couple of weeks ago. Keep in mind how prevalent eating disorders are and how many people here at CF are suffering from one.

Even if you're commenting on your own weight and say "I'm really chubby..." remember that there might be someone else who is your same weight reading that, and they might make assumptions about their own weight.

Basically I'm asking everyone who participates in this thread to be SUPER sensitive to the feelings of those who struggle with weight issues and eating disorders.

This is the type of thread that can go downhill really fast, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt by words that are said in this thread.

What if the attractive are sick of being judged as jerks simply based on looks? It goes both ways. :)

Not 5'10" and 110 lbs. I know girls who are 5'10" and 140 lbs, and they are already VERY thin...

It all also depends on your bone structure as well.
