A few days ago, I reached a new milestone in my weight loss: I am now 30 lbs thinner than I started last summer.
I have to say, my quality of life has improved drastically. Now, I don't just mean feeling healthier and stronger; I mean that the way men treat me is generally better than before.
Before, I would go out to bars and I would get hit on. Men would buy me drinks because they wanted to fuck me and have a one-night stand.
Now, I go to bars and I still get hit on. However, in addition to getting hit on as strictly a booty call, men buy me drinks now because they actually want to ask me out on dates. These men don't want to have sex with me right away because they want to take me out.
Take the other night, for example. I went out downtown with my friends Jamie and Mel from work. Their friend Gabe kept hitting on me and telling me that my ass is amazing. He told me the next day that he had wanted to have a threesome with Jamie and me.
I think he's off-limits though. First of all, Gabe had been hitting on Jamie as well, and she was flirting back. Since I really like Jamie, and think that she is definitely "my people," I do not want to take her guys. Second of all, I think Mel was saying that she fucks him on the side. Apparently, her boyfriend Nat, who also works with us, is okay with that. But she went out of her way to tell me that I can't steal her side dish.
In addition to that, this guy Joe came up to me and offered to buy me a drink and a shot. He kept telling me, over and over again, that I am extremely gorgeous and stunning. I was very flattered, because I was not wearing a stitch of makeup. Normally I wear it, but I hadn't had enough time to apply it before work that night. He told me that I have the most beautiful eyes and smile. He even went so far as to say that he had seen my friends, and he thought that I was far more attractive than any of them. I was stunned at this, because I happen to think that Jamie and Mel are very attractive girls. At the end of the night, Joe called me to make sure that I got home safe.
So not only did I have a guy buy me drinks to ask me out on a date, who kept giving me compliment after compliment and wanted to take care of me, but an attractive girl who does not know my history thought that I was a threat to one of her guys (which I guess I was, because he was hitting on me).
Another guy there, who is friends with Jamie, Mel, and Gabe, called me a "saucy little minx" and said that if he didn't have a serious long-time girlfriend, he would try to get with me. Once, Gabe told me to tell him something interesting. I started talking about how I had broken my vibrator. I can't even describe his reaction, but it was priceless.
Not only that, but on another occasion I told everyone that I watch Don Jon and masturbate. Nat was all, "...so who wants to go to the Red Box and rent Don Jon right now?" even though he is with Mel.
Moreover, men are just more willing to do me favors (ie take out the trash for me, drive me places, pay for my food when we are not on a date). Men are generally nicer to me now that I am 30 lbs skinnier.
I am really not used to this sort of attention. Now, I actually look good enough that I am attracting more positive attention from men than negative. I guess I must be more attractive than I realize. It's strange for me to think about, since I had grown up being called fat and ugly (mind you, I was about this same size when I was called fat).
It really shouldn't be this way, and it bothers me that it is true. While I wish that our society wasn't so looks-based, at least I'm thin enough now to reap the benefits. Who am I to complain that my life has gotten easier?
