I was around lots of fat people growing up: family, friends of family, fathers girlfriend, quite a few teachers and principals and school social workers, people at the Mormon church I had to go to until I was a teenager, and my not-fat mothers boyfriend ...I love my mom, but both of her partners were fat; though one of them just didn't switch his diet to compensate for not working out as much anymore (He was an athlete at the Olympic level) Just an explanation. Not sympathy at all - The guy was an asshole to me, and honestly the main reason I'll be sad when he dies is because he's not an asshole to my brother. STILL don't find fat people to be sexually attractive. I'm even more particular about women being skinny than guys.
