This week I've had several girls mention their desire for a big, beefy man (in one case a direct quote, other just with minor phrases like "big strong arms"). The only girls I know that don't seem to want a big beefcake...want other women. Even the women-wanting ones seem to want beefcake men, with the woman standards being more flexible. Does this mean every time I see a woman with a small guy, short or skinny or both, that they have settled?

I have to start paying attention to marketing - not getting any younger, ya know. I've lifted weights for over ten years, and while I am often referred to as 'fit' or 'in shape' I realize I'll never be beefy or big (often meaning tall). Unless I pull a gattaca, I'm stuck at my current height.

So, the logical pursuit is to become more woman-like.

I'm into generalizations. I don't care if I'm the perfect fit for some freak in Moldova that I'll never meet. I'm all about marketing to the widest possible audience.

I dunno what to tell ya, hon. Everyone has different types. My type is pretty different from what everyone else on your comments list has posted. I kinda fit the audience you were discussing (beefy/muscley and tall)...but look at me...ya know? And I realize that there are only a small percentage of folks that'd be into me. It's just the way things work out, ya know? I'd love to be 100 lbs and 5'6 (and totally fit with a smaller ass and smaller tits...and brunette)...it'd broaden my dating range as I'd be more of guy's type than I am now...ya know?

Yikes, that = me + 2 inches in height & - 15 pounds! That's sounds unhealthily skinny, I think you look much better now than you would if you were 100 lbs & 5'6, hun.

I'm with Sir Mix A Lot & the whole "Baby got back" thing - 36, 24, 36...huhuh ONLY if she's 5'3...so cosmo says your fat, well I ain't down with that...cause your waist is small and your curves are kicking....

Curves are fun...and not just in driving! (I still must get you that metal-techno mix!)

Curves aren't fun...I'd rather be short, brunette, skinny and have straight hair. Apparently that's the flavor these days. Ya know? Not that I'm really interested in dating or anything related to that overly much these days ;)
