    Wow. Your experience is definitely different from mine. No one ever complimented me on my body, in fact, much the opposite. I was teased unmercifully growing up, called names and humiliated. As you...

    I'm encouraged to see some posts by ladies that look awesome at the lower weight numbers. I was convinced I'd never get to the look I want since I've never topped 119 at 5'4".

    It's important to me, too, but my approach was different. If you open yourself up to meet and get to know a variety of guys, you may find someone who's a great match for you AND is open to learning...

    I say there's nothing wrong with looking for someone your age or slightly younger. I divorced in my mid-30s and began to date guys mostly around my age and younger. I found once you get over 5-6...
