We do not, and will not, sit in judgment of others who do not share our enthusiasm for "hard bodies"; however, our preference for those type of people is usually somewhat diminished, which is unfortunate because we are both certain that they are probably very nice people otherwise.
Yes we are. What kind of comment is that? "Probably very nice people otherwise"? Is not being "physically fit" akin to having an ugly personality? It sounds like you've never talked with a person who is packing a couple extra pounds, but you are pretty sure they are good people, other than being what you'd consider fat.

It's okay to prefer a certain body type, everybody does have a preference. But this comment should have been better thought out before you posted it. I know what you are trying to say (I think), but it comes across wrong to those (or at least me) that do not share your view of Barbie and Ken...

You think? So since I don't work out everyday I don't enjoy sex as much as you? I've HAD boring sex with uber-fit women. I'll buy the truth behind it being healthier to have better blood flow, higher endurance, yadda, yadda, yadda. But that it makes for better sex? I guess if your idea of sex is banging away like a porn star, then it does. If your idea of sex goes beyond that shallow view of what sex is, then enjoyment is based on many more things than just physical appearance and "endurance".

Maybe I'm in "a mood" this morning, but if I didn't laugh at this I'd be offended.
