Am i the only one single on this board?

[JackieOnLine]

we are all still learning - I would have started in on the MB myself but that means nonmembers can read it. so I would have ended up moving it!

^^^ And I never even for one second looked at which board it was on. Just started typing away. Woops. LOL, OK, can y'all tell we're all still learning the ropes. We'll get there... together.

Thx Jackie. Eagle-eye. Or is that owl-eye? Ha.

If that's where it belongs and people who were in it have access. I probably should be mindful as to where I start posts and appropriateness.

Less about propriety (usually) and more about being read by people who are interested, I think. Just consider where you'd logically look for this kind of post, if it doesn't fit elsewhere, try the Lounge. I suspect we'll all get used to the new digs before long.

Why did I think you were in NYC???? Sorrrrrryyyyyy......

Road trip to L.A.? In thin obsessed la la land we have club curves and club bounce (if memory serves).

OK, my fallback advice is to get your tube out before you start dating.. pleeeease.

Next time I'm in LA I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FIND THOSE clubs. Well who knows I may not meet the criteria by then. But I think for sure I will still be pear shaped I think. When I had my RNY and weighed 128 I was still a pear size 4 on top 6 on bottom

Not that I take all my advice from Mae West, but….. every woman looks like a million bucks when she is the only naked woman in the room.

just sayin'….

I am single also. I live in New York (suburbs Long Island). Dating lately has no appeal I am too busy trying to get myself together. Mentally I am just not currently ready for a relationship but who knows when that will change.

Technically speaking, I am a widow. I am involved with someone but probably not moving towards marriage. Pretty intentionally on my part because marriage is quite expensive for older people. I met him online... Plenty of Fish!

Whatever you do, don't be looking for chubby chasers! In a few more months you won't qualify!

You have been married your entire adult life? You're not kidding you're going through a lot of changes. It's a lot but it's also fantastic to have SO MUCH opportunity to create your life going forward. I hope you find exactly what you are looking for. You sound crystal clear on this front.

Yes, married my whole adult life. I was way too young. I didn't know my arse from a hole in the ground.

I am single. I wanted to talk about body image issues post DS and dating. Ugh, I had a break up earlier this year though it had nothing to do with my body. I am just so jaded with how superficial people are, in general. Even post DS, we deal with loose skin, stretch marks and so on. Most guys my age group have the depth of a puddle. In theory, I know that my body is beautiful in any form. And at the same time, I fear finding it difficult to find someone body positive like my ex, for example. It's really very hard. And, I am not looking for a chubby chaser (which hopefully won't apply post DS lol), because these guys fetishize fat bodies. I don't want to be someone's fetish. But, there are guys who love bigger women without loving them specifically because they're big.

There are good men out there, who really are attracted to women of all sizes, but they are notoriously hard to find. I already feel self-conscious about my stretch marks, so I hope the loose skin (which is far preferable to the extra weight) won't cause me extra issues with how I view my own desireability. I feel so hypocritical because I talk to young people about body acceptance all the time, and I do accept and respect my body how it is. But, I still worry about how my body will be perceived by a significant other esp after the surgery. I know I'll be thinner, but the battle scars from a weight loss journey would still be there. I am unwilling to settle for less than total and loving acceptance of my body. Yet, I know how rare that is. Not to sound melodramatic, but I am still reeling from a very intense break up, and sometimes I feel so discouraged about finding someone body positive (among other things), I just feel like giving up.

When you do an Okcupid search, most turn with aversion to fatness. :/ I would love to hear from you guys. I just feel so ****** jaded right now. Sorry, I wish my post had been more uplifting.

Charris, you seem like a wonderful woman, and I wish you a lot of success and happiness in life, including your love life of course

Depth of a puddle... I'm still laughing!

I am single. Have been divorced for many years now. Not sure if I ever want to be married again, but a relationship could be fun.

 

[SHales]

I am single now and will probably stay that way. I am too busy to add a relationship into the mix. The thought doesn't make me unhappy.
Plus, I lose part of my retirement if I remarry.

Shellie it's called pre-nup. Kidding aside I feel the same way my life is busy enough without adding someone else to the fold.

Maybe after I'm done raising teenagers.

It's railroad retirement and they say if you remarry, it's gone. I may be wrong, I am not looking so I didn't look into it very far.
