If people put up with bullsh!t because their lover is beautiful, rich, whatever... that's their own fault. They'll get hurt eventually because you can't build a relationship on those qualities alone. They'll have to learn the hard way that the person underneath trumps those superficial qualities.
I'm in the dating world right now, though I can't say I'm doing much actual dating, which is probably not a bad thing considering what I see out there. It seems to never fail that the guys crying about girls playing games and saying " aren't there any honest women out there? " are the same ones that have snarky comments about fat chicks in their dating profiles.
They get what they deserve.
Being through a range of weights is certainly an eye opening experience. I was at my local deli recently, and the two male cashiers fawned over the customer ahead of me. I come along and they're rendered mute. Guys let doors slam in my face. I was in the mall yesterday. I could see this guy people watching. The moment his eyes met mine, the smile literally dropped like someone had slapped it off of his face.
Oh, but rewind to a couple of years ago when I was only about 20 overweight and they were falling all over themselves to open the door for me. Cashiers wanted to take my bags out to my car, and if I caught a guy's eye, out came the big, stupid, sh!t eating grin. I think this behavior actually makes me angrier than treating me like crap.
On the bright side, I know what to look for. I'll ignore the displays of chivalry and watch to see how a man treats a fat woman, or the elderly, or kids for that matter.
