Do you feel unattractive to femmes?
Do you attract women to date?
Are you doing anything to lose weight?
Are you satisfied with how you look?
Do you have weight goals or not?
Are you happy and in love without weight ever being a factor?
Does your partner want you to lose weight or not?
Do others see you as lovable and sexy just as you are?


This is a general topic, and I'm just throwing out questions for discussion.
Feel free to jump in with your own thoughts and ideas.

In my early 20s, I had major self-esteem issues, but as I came out and settled down into who I am, they've gone away. I've learned to be comfortable in my skin. Does it mean I'm perfectly happy with myself? Absolutely not. For me, though, it is about being comfortable and not what society thinks. I've had the good fortune to have dated women who have loved my size and strength.
Right now, I'm not happy with my size because I left it drift up while dealing with drama and a crazy work schedule, but I'm working on it.
I've never dated anyone where my size was an issue and I've dated women of all shapes and sizes. I once dated a woman that I outweighed by 100 pounds and she had far more body issues than I did.
As for goals, mine right now is simply to get back down to what I consider a healthy range for myself.
