I found (and loved) your piece in The Hairpin, then saw that you went to Emerson! I love when I catch fellow alumni doing awesome things.

Comment on Perspectives on plus-size dating, from an actual plus-size dater by Mattie

I love this article, I can totally relate to it, as I am 24, plus size, and single The whole world seems to be falling in love around me I have to ask… What’s the best BBW dating site around? I just joined one, and I’m just curious to see where people have the best results, because most of the guys who do appreciate a big girl are not easy to spot out in the wilds of Manhattan(if they are to be found out in public at all).

I would’ve said the same thing! I won a kiss on the cheek? Oooh-kay, weird. We’ve been on dates together before? Oooh-kay, weird.

Thanks for the laughs, Tangenty Tangents and all.

hey Carla I posted on your musing by mistake there.my name is Gary Leonard am 30 year old from ireland and is my story.I have klippel trenaunay weber syndrome with birthmarks on my back arms and hands.left leg bigger and shorter than right.left breast bit bigger than right.and web toe on left foot.I look normal with cloths on people couldn’t even tell only for birthmarks on my hands which is pinky light red.I don’t wear short sleeve tshirt or shorts.not sense I was younger.I know most people are kind and won’t say anything but I fear someone will say something and I’ll get embarrass.I’ve always been popular in school and have loads of friends cause I always look on bright side and am funny but I’ve even kept it hidden from them maybe the notice my birthmarks on hands but just didn’t want to say anything.I no problem chatting up girls when I’m out but I do need a few drinks but I never let it go any further cause the fear of having to take my cloths off and then having to explain.I also am a really Gud singer well so my friends tell me but I lack confidence to do anything about it which sucks.I’d love to meet and talk to people the same as me I’d feel so comfortable with them.I’m also on Facebook… leonardgary@hotmail.co.uk

Comment on Hey look, I’m going to be speaking in Minnesota! by Drea eidsvold

I am so sad to be just seeing this now. I would have loved to hear you speak. I have KTS and I am in Rochester now waiting for my appts this week with all of the various DRs. I always hide my legs and even though I love to workout I hide in the back row because I feel you can see the differences in my legs in my workout pants. I even wear cabana pants over my swimsuits:). I was on Rachel Ray for “I can’t stand my leg” episode and they taught me how to cover the port. Wine mark with make up but I want a solution to the veins, size, discomfort, port wine mark, and so on. Seems to just keep getting worse as a get older. People often disregard my insecurities and say you are beautiful and have a great body. I am so sick of feeling like a freak! It is great to hear that the laser surgery worked well for you. What kind of laser treatment was it?I have been looking into several options and hope to find some answers to a lot of my questions this week.

Hi Carla,
I have K-T, didn’t realize it until recently. My leg is 25% covered by PWS and have varicose veins. And doctors are clueless. When I was 13, I was invited to the beach by a girl who insisted I wear jeans. The problem with being outwardly attractive is that a person draws the attention of otherwise shallow people and it can be difficult to spring the K-T secret on them. I have experienced at least a 4 in 5 rejection rate when I was dating because of the K-T. Thank you for drawing attention to our dilema.
