You know ironically, EVERYONE JUDGES. Rejections is not necessarily a negative thing.. EVERYONE who has posted on this thread has in one way or another JUDGED every person they have ever hooked up with on their looks and through their judgment they have accepted or rejected people. And just because they accepted a person to move on the next step, doesn't mean their acceptance was a positive thing. It could very well be a concept that causes both of you to waste your time because you weren't honest. If they say they haven't then they are either lying to themselves or are either lying to "sound" good to other people who are lying to themselves. Appearances matter and they should. IF someone is fat and it effects their appearance to someone observing them, then that isn't shallow or whatnot. I don't think most people realize what shallow means. For most people who have stated they do judge someone on their appearance have indicated what that appearance relays TO them about a person -- that isn't shallow that is what perception is all about. It amuses me when i read threads like this because it shows people who aren't honest with themselves about what they DO perceive when they look at people. MAYBE a person's appearance many times becomes an indifferent concept as they get to know someone, but i have yet to see anyone say that a person's obesity is the reason they reject them but its DEEPER than that, its has a whole bunch of other concepts at play -- for many women who are looking for a dom or Master, it's based upon what that obesity represents to them. THAT is not shallow, that is an indepth identification of what their perception has given them. WE ALL DO THIS. If you don't think you do, you aren't being honest with yourself. The problem i have with an obese man is 1) i am not sexually attracted to same and that would in fact hinder his ability to master me, 2) its about expectations and standards -- NOT MINE -- HIS. To me, if his expectations and standards allow him to be obese and more so continue to be so, then to me he doesn't hold himself to high expectations and standards, i want a Man who will hold me to high expectations and standards. To me, if he is incapable of setting up an atmosphere and environment wherein HE can reach his own expectations and standards, how the hell will be be able to do the same for me, and 3) it is a concept of control and self-mastery. If he is incapable of achieving same over his own person, how will he be able to with me? Now, many people may not think the above is important in their relationship, and for me and boyfriends i would agree, however, if someone is portraying themselves to me as a Dom or Master who would like to explore his owning me and mastering me, then for ME, this stuff matters. You don't have to agree because i hold a Man calling himself Dom or Master to a higher expectation i do the average joe, but in the end, there is a hell of a lot at stake to me in a M/s relationship than a average joe relationship. This man will have control over me, my life, and how i exist in his life. DAMN STRAIGHT i will hold him to damn high expectations. To be a Dom or Master is a choice a Man makes, to go farther and determine they want full control over a woman, then he damn well better portray in the general day that HE has control over himself, his life, and how he exists within same. If he is obese, to me, he doesn't show that. So for people who call it shallow, you really may want to take a step or two back from your sanctimonious ideas because its a hell of a lot more indepth as to the rejection of same than your shallow ACCEPTANCE of an obese person simply because you don't think it matters. You don't have to agree with what begins my due diligence on a potential man who wants to own me, but then its a good thing because its not your life in his hands. Be careful your own decision to accept someone who is obese isn't shallow. Not looking at the obesity and accepting despite of it can in fact be very shallow. angel
