Just lurking and reading this thread...very interesting!
Doug, you sound like my husband. All of his friends' wives got very heavy and they were the sedentary, girlie girl types with that certain body type you don't like.

I am more a Marisa body type (only a C cup but you know) and am into beach volleyball and after 2 kids, I have the same body without dieting, just easy. (not bragging, the way it was)

Anyway, my hubby appreciates me like crazy!! Sounds superficial but he's athletic and has a great body so it's just fair ya know?

Eve, you have to let go of some of your anger. Really, all different guys have different types. Why is it that some women can't be happy unless they delude themselves into thinking that THEY are the only "type" of women that guys want???? I think it's called Narscisstic Personality Disorder and it's in the DSM IV (psychiatric diagnosistic bible). I am a psychologist.

I find these sites a very interesting lesson in male and female thinking and ego/insecurites etc etc Sorry to analyze
