Story about rejection First off, I want to thank this community for its support...  You guys rock... I have had several requests for a few stories... these are true... Little background, this is about 6 years ago.  I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship..  Physically and emotionally, it was finally over though... my weight had ballooned and I was very insecure about myself and my place in society on the inside.. However my outward composer would have told you otherwise.  I came across as someone who didnt give a shit, I had great friends etc etc.  Well... I was lacking sexy times and I wanted to date someone..  And my friends told me to date a bigger girl because dating pretty girls wasn't working for me... NO JOKE they told me to date someone Less attractive and as big as me (I was about 260 and 5'11 at the time)...  I started talking to a girl who was probably 300 and 5'9 she didnt want to date me, telling me that I "wasnt her type" and she wanted "someone in shape" I was kinda upset about it...  But I didn't really care there are plenty of whales in the sea.. Fast Forward to three months ago.... She got in touch with me because we stayed "friends" you know the kind of friends that whenever she needs something she hits me up...  She asked me to send her a picture.. I did.... Now in shape...  (185 now and my arms/legs/back are HUGE in a good way 15.5% fat I'm genetically wide shouldered which is where a lot of my weight is)... she didnt believe me... She fucking didnt believe that I lost all that weight... She started asking about my love life and talking about how we should get together...  My wife told me to play along... so I did, went out to dinner with her..SHE HAD GAINED WEIGHT!!!!!  She told me she did and she said she couldn't control it... I  watched her order a meal consisting of 1800 calories, while I sat there with my 300 calorie option...  She talked about all the shitty dudes in her life and gave me her "I cant find anyone worthy of me" sob story... She asked if we could start dating and I started laughing... I asked "why now?"  she said and I shit you not "well because you look good now"....  At this point I started playing with my cell phone, and texting my wife and were having a good laugh.... She then said "I saw your girl, she looks unhealthy she should eat more.." I paid my half of the bill and left.
