Brb. Gonna go find a chalkboard to write that on until I learn my lesson.
Got into a ‘funk’ again that I’m working on getting out of. Feeling pretty good today, so going to work hard to stick to the plan.
Think I’m fueled by anger though at the moment. Went out with some coworkers last night, and I shared the latest awful message I got from guy (which I don’t even want to get into right now because I’ll get all mad all over again). So one of my coworkers starts defending the guy, and says that if I don’t want to stay single, I need to be more feminine and reserved and way more thin, because since I’m already so big and tall, I’m “threatening” and “masculine”, and biking makes me a “tomboy”, and having a successful career and making a hefty salary is “threatening” because the guy doesn’t feel like I need him for support.
I just can’t even right now.
All I know is I would never want to be with the type of guy he described, lol!

Good god you know some people with neanderthal views. I'd have told your co-worker exactly where to stick it in no uncertain terms if I'd been there. What a dick!

Your coworker is right....if you are looking for a boy and not a man. LOL. I know it is hard to brush that kind of thing off, but try not to take such ignorance to heart. The idea that if a woman wants a man she has to be a tiny, delicate flower and make an "acceptable income" so as to not intimidate him is outdated, insulting, and ridiculous. Any man with his own self worth doesn't need a submissive woman to make him feel better about himself. I am so sorry they said that to you and upset you. Be who you are. Be proud of who you are and of your accomplishments. The right man will not only not be bothered by anything that idiot stated, but he will love you because of them. Keep your head up!

Thanks you guys!! I made it clear to him what I thought of his comments, and will not be spending much time with him again. I didn't take it to heart, but it's still just disappointing that those ideas are still strong. Oh well.

OMFG!!! People can be so ignorant. You are a gorgeous woman!!!! I know it's hard to ignore idiot remarks (and then have to work with them), create your own happy bubble. The right person doesn't usually care about your physique as much as you they think, personality is more important (and let's just say theirs is not appealing). Vent here if you need too, we are here for you.

Notelaine, hopefully you will find a partner in life...one who clicks with you as a friend and more. My wife is my partner in life and at times (my schooling) has supported us (she is an accountant), our success has come from working together through all life has thrown at us, lots good and some bad....some day you will make some lucky fellow very happy, good luck, enjoy your biking and always take other's "opinions" with a grain of salt.

Okay. You COULD go for that fella your coworker describes, spend decades of life trying to fit into a mold with no interesting attributes, arguing, cajoling, getting angry, frustrated trying to grow this human into a...well human OR...be you, who you were created to be, available for that relationship where you both grow together and get a kick out of each other. Proud and confident with each other. There are mature people out there. This is not to say that those broken people are worthless but they are all kinds of work! Perhaps your coworkers comments were worthless...?

Notelaine, unfortunately there are still a lot of people (both men and women) who think the man should rule the roost, and the woman is just there to support him. However, there are men who are not threatened by a tall woman who makes a good salary, and is looking for an equal mate and not just a supporter. It may take you a little while to find him, but looking can be a lot of fun!! And if you don't find one, so what?? You can have a great life anyway, and make some great friends along the way (there are some good guys out there so simply aren't husband material, but make excellent friends and companions!) I know it's easier said than done, but don't let the idiots of the world get you down!

wow, notelaine, you're a better person than i if you didn't just walk away from your coworker for that comment! don't pretend to be someone you're not, that will just make you unhappy in the long run. stay true to yourself and that right person will come along who loves the real you.

Im about ready to show that guy masculine and kick him in the nuts. He is the one that feels threatened by masculine women. Wiener. A real man loves women of all shapes and sizes and he needs to step out of the 20th century and into the 21st..I know men that love tall/big women and say its just more women to love. And WTF, be more feminine?? All women are feminine in their own way..you just choose not to use your femininity to get ahead in the world. Sheeesh! I lift weights.. and do you think that threatens DH, nope not one bit. He loves it. Ignore that jack ass.. there is someone out there for you and the fact that you are waiting to find the right guy instead of settling just makes you even more amazing. Dont change for anyone ever. Now log your food and go kick some ass !!

I personally like a woman who is strong. That sort of thing doesn't intimidate me. My wife goes to the gym with me and she can out lift me sometimes. I'm not the strongest man out there, so it's not too hard to do that. There are men out there who aren't intimidated by a successful woman. Trust me, you are a jewel that will be treasured by the right guy.
And keep logging your food!!

Tell him to blow east and get lost. He sounds like a complete idiot. Some people are just shitty and he is one of them...........well that co-worker and the guy who sent the message. There isn't anything wrong with you. Boy, people just love to stick the knife deeper in AFTER it is already in. Sometimes, people just need a hug or a shoulder to cry on; not critique. Do YOU and be YOU cause it's all good.

A guy that wants a woman to be frail and dainty is a mollycoddle milksop. My ol' lady is 5'8" and meaner than a rattlesnake and I wouldn't want her any other way, any man that's looking for a mother instead of a partner isn't a man at all. Hold out for a man that can handle you, don't settle for a little boy trying to tame you.
