Sonny Black, stop it, I'm choking with laughter, every post funnier than the last.
And everything you said was 110% true. Well actually, it isn't true of all women, they're not all rug munching girly-man lovers, take my wife for example. She likes manlier men and likes to help me make fun of the um, less manly types.
It is true that most women don't like very big guys because
(1) the pro wrestler look just ain't pretty
(2) totally true that they like being the center of attention; many prefer hanging out with these skinny weiner lap dog types because they can't accept a challenge (half the time they screw around on the lap dog though)
(3) there is a perception that skinnier people are more driven professionally, more wealthy, more glamorous, etc. - if you're built like a truck maybe you drive one... which I don't have a problem with, but as you know many women are looking at your "financial potential"
Gary, that girl maybe just didn't like your attitude, or there was no chemistry. As I've heard from my wife, even a perfect body is not necessarily going to get you anywhere with a woman, - if you're "icky" or "creepy" she'll choose the "not perfect yet good looking guy" who just seems to have a better sense of self-worth and enough sense to pay attention to other people's needs (of course you can't go the other way and be "too nice" either, it's pretty fucking complicated... I try to get in a few good asshole outbursts a month just to ensure that I'm never too nice for my own good).
The more I look around, the more I see ordinary, frail, average, etc. men with very good looking women. I guess there just aren't enough of us studmuffins to go around.
Christ, even Woody Allen gets dates. Wasn't Marilyn Monroe married to Arthur Miller, a playwright? And then there was Julia Roberts with Lyle Lovett. You go figure.
I lost my first long term girlfriend partly because my skinny body made her look like a porker by comparison (which she was). You're way better off with muscles, trust me!
