I do get it; I've always preferred tall, thin men (think of what a swimmer is built like and you have my kind of guy). I've always been a big girl. I don't think other people considered me fat because I was incredibly fit in my teens and early 20's (track--threw shot and disc, and I was a runner in my 20's), but I was stocky. Now I can probably say I'm fat, but I still loooove those tall, thin guys. I think I would still give the guy a chance though; I've found over the years that the way we look is pretty changeable and fleeting.

PS I have this theory that we're attracted to our opposites. Probably not scientific, lol. It's just my own thing.
