Email: Worried about your looks? [VI]

This was an interesting article that covers all the bases: Resist the pressure to try to be physically perfect, since women (at least) exist who want more than physical perfection -- and ballroom dancing is one alternative to bodybuilding at the gym. However, while this is all excellent theory, it is not how the real world pans out (for the most part).

It would be interesting to do a test as in the book Black Like Me (if it were possible): Seek and go on dates when a person is overweight, and later, when buff. AD told me she weighed 300 pounds and was ignored on planes as she struggled to place her carryon in the overhead compartment; yet men fell over themselves to help her after surgery brought her to a slim 110. Go figure, indeed!
