being a large lady ( im 300 lbs). it is very hard to feel sexy when you are being called names just beacause of your weight. i am not a goddess but i am not ugly and have found a chatroom who accepts me for who i am and not what i look like. i have had many offers for sex from both men and women. i think someone made the remark about being clean i am one of the cleanest people you will find i know some small people who could use a good bath nowe and again and they think they are sexy. fat doesnt mean unhealthy and it sure doesnt mean not sexy. if you dont like it fine but why should you make rude comments would someone like it if i made fun of their small dick?

Maggie --
Way back sometime last year, this very issue came up. In fact, my wife, if I remember correctly, was the one who started the thread. Being a larger woman herself, this subject is somewhat personal to her.
While it's true that not everyone is meant for everyone else, tact is certainly required when turning someone down, whether over the internet or in person. And one of the worst offenses (but one I've seen too many times in ads) is equating extra weight with being dirty. I'll once again state the analogy I've given in here several times -- if one were to refer to racial minorities using negative and perjurative terms in the same vein as those used on larger people (especially women), there'd be hell to pay. Agreed?

Personally, we NEVER respond to any ad that uses words or phrases such as "attractive" or "hot looking" to describe themselves. I doubt they'd be interested in us anyway.
