my bf's parents want him to date a fit girl

[Lipp]

The parents care about your looks? Something looks wrong in this picture. I thought that if anything, physical attraction is the primary attribute for the partner while the parents care far more about the personality.

If anything I reckon average parents would be more worried about their son having a committed relationship with someone who looks like a skank.

The fact that parents look at appearance shocks you? What about the parents that get angry when their white son brings home a black girl...?

[Lipp]

If this concerns an american society there are (sadly) assumptions that apply to appearances, and so there is quite a gap between weight differences and skin colour differences.

If its about weight it might suggest that she doesn't like sports, or doesn't hang out with the "popular crowd"...Big deal.

If its about skin colour it can imply that she comes from a different part of the community which they don't know much about, might have different religious beliefs or is an immigrant.

Which of those do you think parents would care more about?

It's just odd to me that you're surprised a parent might not want their child dating someone that's overweight. Parents can be just as judgmental as younger adults.

Weight in America is a social class issue. I think as a whole, we are less concerned about race these days, but classism is alive and well.

My housemate has a thing for big women. This morning I woke up to the sound of him pounding his new amply proportioned missus in the room next door. She wasn't making a sound but he was moaning like a beggar and the bed sounded like it was being pushed to the tip of its structural limits. Meanwhile, I lay there with my fingers in my ears.

The noise was so disgusting I lay there with my fingers in my ears.

eww.. I can't do that. Thick is as big as I can go.

The OP's boyfriend, not you. For you, there is no line. You're honest AND hurtful, and also funny as hell, so it's all good.

Would you have laid there with your fingers in your ears if she was fit?
