[@Xandrya] Thanks for sharing your story. Its interesting how our experiences both negative and positive can directly effect the way we view the world and people. But can I ask, why did your standards go 'up' in terms of height, I mean 5'7 would still be [i]seven inches taller than you[/i] why do they need to now be twelve inches taller or more? 

And yes the feminist thing is fascinating, though I disagree with them about the fat female comparison. Guys may [i]say[/i] they wouldn't date a bigger girl but depending on the circumstances that could just be to keep up appearances among peers. I've never met a fat girl who doesn't get a healthy amount of attention from guys. And to be honest, if we are talking about the equivalent of a slightly shorter than average male, than a slightly fatter than average woman would be considered curvy or full figured and these are both considered as attractive shapes. The size zero model desire only applies to fashion magazines and how women and gay men perceive them.
