I guess I just feel it is no ones business what I weigh. I am a BBW, no way getting around that. My step-mom, who is a nurse can not believe what my weight is. She was shocked when I told her. She thought I weighed more! So I guess I feel like people would think I was lying anyway.
I understand that a lot of people don't post pic, and the weight would be one way to discribe a person. But if Cal Ripkin put his profile up with no pic's, he would list his weight as well over 200LBS. Now he is a very fit person, but someone caught up on a number might pass that profile by just because it stated a high weight. I guess what I am trying to point out is that weight is not always a good indicator of a person's fitness. Even though I am a BBW I am a very fit person. My weight is due to a medical condition.
I have a friend who is in the lifestyle and she does not list her weight either. She is scared that people will think she is too thin. She is only 98 LBS. She is healthy, but that low number would scare off Bear (he likes girls with meat on their bones).
So there are a lot of reasons that someone will not list weight. But then again, Bear and I don't really use profiles to meet people, so not listing a weight is not important to us. What really bothers us is when someone does not take the time to fill out a profile at all. I mean they have a profile set up in Swing Lifestyle, but there is nothing in it. Then they complain they are not getting any e-mails.
ETA: Bear and I were talking about this thread, and he says, "Um, Babe, you do have your weight listed on our profile". LOL Oh well, still does not change how I feel.
