Re: marry your own kind? What is your kind?

[Guest guest]

Great replies ladies, thank you!

 

Bill, I guess I never really thought of it as bigotry, but now that you said

that, it is an eye opener. 

 

Martha, I agree with you, I too have felt at conferences that I was the " wrong

type " of LP.  It seemed a lot of achon guys want the flat board abs achon woman,

while I'm a non-flat board abs pseudo lol.   Honestly, if an lp guy or girl, is

THAT picky, then that is someone I wouldn't want a relationship with anyways.

 

Over the years as I've become older, I realize the characteristics that are

important, and height is such a superficial one.  In the age of divorces, etc, I

want something that will last.  It can be hard as well with all of my female

friends getting married, having kids, uncles telling me the older I get, the

less my chance of marriage will be, and lastly feeling the window of having kids

slowly closing. 

 

I'm just afraid because I feel stuck, and my dream of becoming a wife and mom

won't happen. Yes yes it happens when you least expect it, lol, got it.  It's

just a real fear for me.

 

How do you LP men feel??  How do you LP men feel about LP women?  How is it like

for you??

marry your own kind? What is your " kind? "

Great topic!

When I first joined LPA some 28 year ago or so, I unfortunately got the

impression that in the LP community it was felt that we should " stick to our

own kind. " It was one of many reasons I've never really warmed up to LPA.

What was most dismaying is that although I'm not repulsive, LP guys would

barely look at me - I got the feeling I was the wrong " type " of dwarf.

So, I never dated any LP guys and I ended up dating AP guys and eventually

met and married a " biggie. "

But you know what? He is " one of my own kind. " We share the same values and

he is kind, gentle, brilliant, funny and just plain good. And from the time

we started keeping company everybody said to us " you two are so perfect for

each other! " and " when are you getting married? " I think it was because of

who we were inside - not our outside construction. And we have friends who

tell us " I want to have the kind of relationship you two have. " Our marriage

was made in heaven, not in the body shop.

The best you can do with the " willfully stupid " is pity them.

Everybody have a wonderful holiday season!
