Interesting debate here but I like to think that although its initially whats on the outside that attracts, its the whole person that counts!!! After all you have to like the cover of a book before reading it, but if the first page is boring you dont continue with the story do you? Judging by looks alone is not only shallow an short term but gives no indication about what the person is about and what makes them tick. The right and the wrong match for you comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes but thats not what "stays the distance" if you know what I mean. Something about a persons smile, laugh, interests,personality and how they gel with yours is what really matters. Its nice window shopping at pretty eye catching shops with all their goods on display and that may make you want to go inside and look more, but would you really buy anything if nothing suits or fits,? Doubt it, you'd probably walk right out again!!! So, although Im from the short, curvy and alot say bubbly blonde set myself - I am smart, have brains I use plus a strong fiesty independant personality too with a quick wit and wicked SOH - the guy that ends up attracting me and vice versa will need to appreciate all of me, inside and out as I will him and he will have to definately not only have to "have the lights on, but prove someone is at home too lol"!!!! I think most ladies will agree to some extent here - what do you reckon guys??

Hi all
This is my first time i've looked at the forum and thought i'd add my four penneth into this cracking little debate.
As my piccy shows, i'm quite a curvy girl myself and after many years of not being happy with it, i've finally come to realise that it's all i have and i can't exchange for another one, so to hell with it, BE PROUD ! We all have bits of our bodies that we don't like, be they too skinny or a bit bumpy and other bits we are quite proud of, but hey, it's what makes us who we are.
Diversity is a wonderful thing (physically and mentally) and i think we are lucky as a race, to have very different features/ attributes. This in turn gives us our preferences too.
Sites like this would not be so successful if we did not have such different features/ attributes.
First impressions are given through looks, body language and verbal communication. I sometimes find it difficult to communicate effectively online as it is difficult to express yourself through a keyboard (thank god for the web cam) but hell it's good practicing. lol
At the end of the day, we are what we are and we like what we like. In some ways we are shallow, in other ways deep. This is what makes us what we are.
Crikey i think that was 10 penneth not four. i'll shut up!

Hi Gail,
Ive tried every diet in the book and Ive finally excepted that I am who I am, (I dont like it everyday,) and if people judge me because Im not a size zero ( puke yuck) then its there loss,
Blimey what a giggle I've just had reading this....
Well according to what's been said it would appear curves are where its at, so its no wonder I'm single then is it being one of those tiny 5ft 3, size 8, skinny, no curves kinda gals, but like Leggyblonde I eat for England and some.
That said, I am totally content with who and what and how I am and I live my life for me and my family, I see anything else that might come along as a bonus, not a right, seems to work for me :)
Yeah me too Baby Blade and Im one of the more "curvy ones" who has to watch what she eats!! Never held me back, presses enough guys buttons (even if I dont want it to!!) Its all about being comfortable in your own skin and accepting who and what you are. We are what we are not matter what and besides, what is seen on the outside is only a little part of who the person is and what makes them tick!!
