A message from "Tobias"

Tobias is right.

Men don’t have the same problem but a lot of women seem to think of themselves as a laughing stock on some catwalk. They go into real terror at first, then just withdraw, with low self-esteem.

Any man who looks on a woman in such a brutalist, short-sighted way is really, really not worth worrying about.

Be yourselves, and anyone worth their salt will be impressed

Please forgive the duplication, Tobias posted this in the “Getting Serious” section back in October but as I know many people don’t venture into that section and it is addressed to the ladies of forum 3, I thought I’d repost it here.

TO ALL THE LADIES IN CHAT 3 WHO THINK THEY ARE TO BIG ECT TO ENJOY LIFE OR FIND A SOUL MATE
You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.

Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.

Well said Tobias =D>

Well said, indeed, and how gentlemanly of Tobias and sceptical guy.

My perverse sense of humour needs to reply though:

“I have yet to see a scale … “
