Big Women need love too and on tonight’s all new episode we meet some women who couldn’t be anymore different. First there’s Jenn. She didn’t start dating until later on in her twenties but once she started it was like she never wanted to stop. And on Mar’s part, she’s just as interested in meeting the right guy though unlike Jenn she tends to accept behavior that really should beneath her.
Jenn recently went on a date with a guy she met online and it turns out he was jerk. He made fun of her weight and couldn’t stop himself from talking about his own diet. So what did Jenn do? She wrote him off!
But Mar keeps going back to her on and off boyfriend Richie. Richie doesn’t appear to treat her right and truthfully no one seems to like him all that much – including Mar. Though she accepts him because he accepts her.
Richie never made a big deal about Mar’s weight so even though she shouldn’t – she keeps counting him as one of the good guys!
Then there’s Kristi. Kristi is a single mother and yet her trouble in finding the right guys looks to be caused by her own inability to slow her own roll. Kristi takes “boldness” to a whole new level. And that’s level resides between one night stand and being a permanent booty call.
It’s one thing to chase after a man and its quite another to crouch grab on the first date!
And one of the most important things that every woman should have before entering a relationship is a healthy dose of self-confidence. Else she knocks herself down before anyone else can. So Kristi needs to stop judging herself next to her much skinnier friends.
No good can come from that or blind dates for that matter. Sabrina is a self- confident young woman yet she was matched with a vegan. Vegans are nice people and everything but what girl (a big girl) wants to be taken to a restaurant where they served weird and small dishes. He should have just gotten himself a salad at a regular restaurant.
But he didn’t and so his date got sick off of the food he talked her into eating.
As for Mar, she ran into a former hookup at the bar and then proceeded to pursue him relentlessly. So soon the two of them were making out and at the time Mar took that to mean she wasn’t in love with Richie. But by the next morning she started to doubt herself.
Mar told her friends that she was drunk when she kissed her ex and that she wasn’t even sure if it meant anything. So, as she told her friends, she was going to keep dating Richie. Mar said she wanted to make sure she knew how she felt about him before she closed the door.
Yet that doesn’t really explain why she then turns around and tells Richie what she did when honestly he never would have found out if she had just kept quiet. So isn’t what she did a bit self-sabotaging?
She later said she didn’t know how to break up with someone because guys were the ones that usually ended things with her. So, at the very most, she did at least the gist of how to cut off all tie with someone. Though she could have gone about it another way.
There really is no reason to hurt someone.
And then again, as in Kristie’s case , there’s also no reason to be too friendly. The guy she crotch grabbed is the same man she’s been talking to online and texting. So she felt like she knew him really well. Particularly, as there’s also been a lot of dirty talk over the phone.
But on what was technically their first date – she nearly brought him home with her and the only reason she didn’t was the fact she didn’t what to deal with her parents. She happens to be still living with them.
So although these ladies say they’re looking for love – are they or do they just want to have a good time?
THE END!
