While I have a personal preference toward "bigger" girls, that is only one facet of them. I see a person.... not a size or number on a scale when I am meeting someone. I was a bigger woman that at one point got up to 353 pounds. Although I have lost 150 of it, because of how I am built, I am still considered fat, plus size, whatever. Society has discriminated against larger people for decades and it is still the only "legal" discrimination. You cant be denied employment and numerous other parts of every day life (housing etc) because of race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation. But you can for being "fat". Women of size had been shunned for years by the fashion industry making it difficult to decent clothing. Almost as if the muu muu for someone over 200 pounds was a mandatory uniform. That is slowly changing. I am still the same person now as I was at 353 and when I was 145. I recently had an incident at a mall here. My husband and I were looking around and I stopped to go to the restroom. 2 girls that had been following us came up to my husband and started dissing on me saying that he could do so much better and if he wanted to try a real woman out and not a fat cow to give them a call. Really? As a general rule of thumb, I don't start out by commenting on someone's size. But, having said that, I am not going to curl up and die or run home for a pint of Ben and Jerry's and cry all night if someone does. If you can dish it out, you had best be able to take it. Bottom line is that no one should "judge" someone without knowing them. Yes, bigger girls sometimes retort about a skinny girls size because they initiated it by commenting on her weight. There are just as many "bigger" girls who are beautiful not because of their outter appearance but because of who they are as a person. By the same token, there are women society deems as "beautiful" or ideal that are total bitches. I was always raised under the philosophy of "judge not lest ye be judged". I think a lot of things in this world could be resolved if we ALL remembered that and lived by it.
