MEN ARE NICER TO THINNER WOMEN!

This is what I have experienced and noticed. This is only my view on this - it may not reflect everyone else's view.

Men are nicer to thinner women. The reason I say this is, now that I have lost close to 86 pounds, I have noticed some differences in men's behavior towards me. They are offering me their seats, holding doors open for me, letting me get in line ahead of them, fighting to keep the elevator doors open so they do not close on me, more men are saying good morning, looking and nodding toward me in a friendly way. A few have have even tried to pick me, up - even men as young as my 30 year-old daughter! (I am a happily married woman and would never take the bait, but... it's nice!)

No matter what our ages are, we as women still like to know we still got it! LOL.

When I was 86 pounds heavier, not many would offer their seat to me (while at the same time they would offer their seat to a thinner woman right next to me) or hold the door for me - and they probably prayed I would not get on to the elevator because of the capacity of the elevator's weight load. There is a lot of discrimination in this country against heavier people. I'm still the same person with a good heart with or without the 86 pounds.

The reason I bring this up is that I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and I saw a huge difference in the way men interact with me.

Again, this is only my point of view. Please share your comments on this - I'd like to hear from others about this particular situation.
