OK
Planning on traveling to meet my friend. Am a bit worried he won't like me 
I am afraid that stress and prednisone have contributed to 20 more pounds of me than I like. 
He tells me not to worry, but....

just had to get the horrible taste of bleach out of my mouth. Didn't smoke, just ate lunch.
MMM, soft taco's.
FMF- I need info, (too lazy to catch up thread). So how much younger is he. And why are you worried. You're great. You're mighty. and You're a Browncoat, (as I hope he is too).

Awww, don't feel bad FMF. If he tells you not to worry then there's no need to worry! Of course he'll like you. He'd have to be a crazy person not to!

He is 10+ younger. And I guess I just have a self esteem thing.
Thanks DesktopHippie!

You're one of the shinyest folks I know, FMF. He'd be moonbrained not to like you. And if he doesn't, he'll have an angry horde of Browncoats to contend with.

Ah, who cares if he's crazy. I'm crazy and I like ya.
Now where did I leave the pudding cups.
No pudding in them, just the cups.

FMF, dont worry about it, ask Tristan, he'll tell you age has nothing to do with it. (I take liberty to assume, he is our resident age-difference-happily-married-guy, after all)
As for the looks thing, I have to agree with the guys on here, and I'm in much the same boat. I actually used to be something overweight, now i'm more or less a good weight, cause i eat better. I don't exercise enough, mostly for the above reason of being lazy. Anyhoo, on women, I for one coult not care less what the current styles are, and while ladies of the higher weight classes are a little awkward on the eyes sometimes, I have no problem with them, and it's all in the personality. In the exact same way, people who are in the lower weight classes can be awkward cause ya gotta be concerned about how skinny they are. And again, all in the personality, and the 'look', and I dont mean appearance by that. It's part confidence, part inherant face shape, and a lot of character, and it's hard to describe. Eh, me and women, a crazy subject.
P.S. Rugbug, no I never got your PM, but i'm sorry if I offended you. Religion-y stuff is so hard to describe right.

And he would be right.
How you feel (confidence and warmth) hit a person first, and more strongly.
Right before you see him, remember all the great things people here have said about you. Get them good and burned on your brain.
Then go meet the new friend (because you too get to decide whether it will be anything more).

Sorry it was an 8 hour training and our principal is big on running it like he ran his classroom, so while there are jokes and such you have to be quiet and be paying attention the whole time. He will actually single out teachers and say stop doing that or pay attention if he thinks they aren't. That said, he's really usually a great guy just a bit picky regarding meetings ( which he calls "his time")
NV- I think magazines are one aspect, but I'd have to say women are another aspect. For every great supportive woman, there are maybe 2 who will pick you apart in a hearbet and make fun of you or subtly insult you for how you dress/cut your hair/ wear make up etc and so women get constant reinforcement that says " you aren't pretty enough, skinny enough, fashionable enough and because of that no one likes you" Remember that Gloria Vanderbuilt was NOT kidding when she said " you can never be too rich or too thin." Also note that 80% of ten year old girls are or have been on a diet...being on a diet becomes such a constant that you don't even think about it, you are just always careful not to eat much or eat high cal foods especially in public for most girls.
Side note- in 5 separate research studies they gave both men and women drawings of female bodies in various sizes and asked both genders to pick the size of woman they felt MEN would most be attracted to. In every study, women picked a woman 10-18% smaller than the guys did...
