I used to think that men preferred women of a particular body type but then I thought about the fact that Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry etc. all got cheated on and they're beautiful, successful and fit women. I think that most women don't get treated well, regardless of how they look and what body type they have. All we can do as women is work on ourselves for ourselves and trust that God will send the right one for us. A man who would help us to get to the best version of ourselves, mentally, physically and spiritually.

Good points. May I add as a woman, You may not need to lose weight to find love, but consider the type of man you want to attract. Your looks at face value are 95% of the reason is man will be genuinely attracted to you at first sight. There are exceptions, but in the dating world this is true. Love yourself to be your best self. Confidence is what makes a woman sexy.

I always struggled with the weight issue growing up- i was a very skinny child until puberty which caused my weight gain and because i am short i was always a very chesty girl up front which caused a lot of shame and embarrassment over my body type- i can say that after joining a gym a year ago i have lost so much weight and am fit and toned and in better shape physically at 47 than i ever was at 22 - and i agree that first impressions matter- men notice women with confidence who are trying to better themselves- when you begin a self care routine of mind body and spirit your confidence in yourself as a child of God will shine thru and will be attractive- you will start to turn heads - its been happening to me a lot over the past couple of years - a fit body will also renew your strength and shave years off of you- i’m 47 but due to my smooth complexion (no wrinkles) people think I’m in my 30s- they are so shocked when i tell them my age - wear your crown ladies and do not settle for less than what God has for you - walk with confidence, dignity and self respect 🎉🌈👑❤️

Let me just say this. Unfortunately overweight is the outward appearance of your struggle. You can't see a drug addict,alcoholic, abuser, bulimic or mental ill person's struggle until you have an opportunity to engage with them. We wait to judge those people until we know, by talking to them but if you're overweight you can see it immediately and we judge not realizing that those people could possibly be very strong confident intelligent kind and gracious people.

[@Goldforever-vp8zq]

This is so true and so many men will swear up and down they are not attracted to women that are bigger because of health reasons but will turn right around and get with a slim chick that doesn’t excersize or eats junk food all day and some will date her even if she on drugs anything that’s just attractive socially.

I have an hourglass figure as well and so do a couple of my cousins and we have the same problem. So many men who just stare, or follow you around and never say anything. The ones who are bold enough are typically younger or have a fetish for women with big butts and small waist and will do and say anything, I mean anything to sleep with you. And when you have a beautiful face and you're smart on top of that they are often intimidated. They sexualize you before they even speak to you. Which is why I present myself in a very polite conservative manner. Also some men equate a woman looking sexy to her being hypersexual. It's grossly immature.

I am a heavier woman and my grandmother taught me dating is a skill .... something you do with purpose and you should improve with time. I have always been heavier kissed a few frogs before finding my prince. I have always been direct with men... stating what I wanted and was looking for, which is good but you also must be vigilant for signs that you are wasting your time and be ready to move on. I met my husband online and I told him before we even met that I was not looking to casually date and if he was then he was not for me. I think a lot of women tell themselves you don't need a partner, while this may be true making this fact the foundation of your attitude maybe self sabotage. I guess my point in saying this, is that, whether you are full figured or slim, rich or poor, sexy or average it does not matter you can't get what you want if you don't state what you want to yourself and others.

I am looking forward to listening to this Talk with Tony.... its been 2.5 months since I gave up all sugar, dessert and candy. I no longer crave it and I don't care to buy it because my grocery bill is👌 and I never have to worry about funding money for a late night a sugar craving again!! I also started a new rule of no eating after 6pm. Late night eating is very bad for my health and my waistline and my grocery budget. My weight is steadily going down but my health is going up! I eat whatever I want between 10-6pm and its usually meat and vegetables 😋. Sugar also degrades collagen and elastin in the skin so stay away from it. The beauty industry will not tell you this. Restore your skin and hormones by getting off sugar!!

@Serena Chairs No fruit and honey and agave will spike insulin causing weight gain. That's terrible advice. More than half the population of the US are pre-diabetic and/or insulin resistant all with a carbohydrate and sugar addiction and low carb diets are tried and true. I will eat a bowl of ground beef with butter and im fueled for hours. Meat does NOT cause weight gain! That is a lie from the Devil Sugar, refined carbohydrates, caffeine, dairy and alcohol are the offenders. Our ancestors all ate meat. Sorry but I cannot stand thay Vegan nonsense. Even in the Bible they only abstain from meat Temporary, not permanent! Meat is the best food for humans. Cellulose and alot of fiber ruins the gut and causes problems. I have IBS and I even have problems with too much fiber. These are myths. Intermittent fasting, eating meat and vegetables and water and keeping stress low for a happy and healthy life.. Its that simple. Besides who has time to cut up all those vegetables in the kitchen all day? Lol

Kathy didn't get roles that often, but when she did she did not alter herself for them . The roles she played in were looking for people just like who she was.

What you say is so true. Two years ago I was 100 pounds heavier. I lost the weight for health as well as looking and feeling better. I was type 2 Diabetic. Losing the weight enabled me to drop all the meds. But, when I was at my heaviest, I was working. I always dressed well, put on make-up and sold myself as voluptuous since alot ( not ALL) ended up top. Now, I was confident and walked around like I was " all that.!" Even at my heaviest, I had co-workers interested in dating me. So, those ladies who are zaftieg should dress the best and be confident.There are clothing manufacturers who make beautiful affordable clothes in plus sizes. So, you could think think " voluptuous " and be confident! So, I got as much male attention when I was fat as I did when I was slim.

I’m a full figured woman who used to have a lot of confidence. I would look at myself and say, “Wow I’ve given life to 6 children and fed them” I’m still beautiful and can wear a size 14 I’m perfect. That has changed because of how men have treated me since I’ve been single

[@salenasheppherd2834]

Don't allow the treatment of men to disturb your peace and contaminate your confidence. Better yet don't even ALLOW men with such attitudes and spirits to have access to you, the moment they disrespect you in the slightest form cut them off to preserve what God has given YOU........which is your self love.

[@rosannalens3058]

1) Give men a chance! But never a second one. 2) Believe who they say and show themselves to be. 3) Always be prepared to show them your ass as you walk out that door (or kick theirs out the door). Stay respectful to yourself, you deserve the best of what makes YOU feel good!💥

It isn't just heavier women that men say those things to and make excuses to not enter into a relationship.

Sowing seeds always returns 10 fold. That's such an awesome blessing for that man who seems to have been blessing many, from a great heart. This ties into a convo I just had with my sister. A lot of guy friends of mine used to talk about women and say, "she's pretty for a big girl" and I was like what? I would always speak up. I'm like she's pretty regardless. Annoying, but that's how a lot of men think :/ I always played sports and had a six pack stomach, and sculpted legs and arms and I remember one of my first boyfriends telling me "you will never be skinny." "You have an athletic body." I ended up having an eating disorder because I let that taint my self image unfortunately. Years later after having kids, I was a size 2. Regardless, it's unfortunate that we associate beauty with a size sometimes :( I think it all boils down to the man that's for you, will love and respect your beauty, regardless.

Thank you for this video. I'm a clinical massage therapist with 22 years experience. I've met 100's of full figured experienced athletes in great health and slim people in terrible health. The media has really manipulated our view of health and beauty. Most people don't even realize that muscle thickness various from person to person as well so body fat isn't the sole thing responsible for a person's width. It seems to be taking the human race a long time to learn not to judge the a book by it's cover.

I was in an 11 year marriage to a HUGE narcissist. I felt HORRIBLE about myself. I was never good enough. We separated, actually I left him, lost 85 pounds and now I intimidate him. I think jts all jn our attitude. I will not accept what I did before.
