Alex the Lion is a Smart Man

To quote a very wise person:

"Come here my little filet, my little filet mignon with a little bit of fat around the edges. I like that. I like a little fat around the edges." -- Alex the Lion

I have to say that I believe Alex the Lion to be one of the smartest people I know. He has a variety of friends. He knows about true friendship. He eat's red meat. And he prefers a "little bit of fat around the edges."

I have been told that I'm not a bad looking guy, that I'm one of the best looking guys at my school. People tell me these things and then in the next breath ask me why I like her. She's not model skinny, but so what? I don't care! I love her and that is what matters. Why can people not see that?

I remember back when I had my first girlfriend. She wasn't anywhere near skinny, and I didn't mind. I was so proud of her simply because she was trying to lose weight. And not by starving herself. No. She worked at it instead of taking the easy way out. Then one day while we were at church and she was watching some of the kids from church in a room with a large pane of glass in it, one of my friends from another church walks in. We have a little bit of banter and then she tells me that she heard that I had a girlfriend now. I say yes and I point to her. My friend was skinny and my girlfriend was not.

"Oh..." she goes, "But she's not skinny..."
"What does it matter?" I ask, but she shrugs and changes the conversation.

It makes me so angry when guys and girls put so much stock in being skinny. Girls have such problems because both guys and girls make such a big deal over it. Yes girls, it's your fault too, you do NOT get off the hook. I honestly cannot stand to look at models. Not because of how fat they are, but because of how skinny they are. Get off the diet pills, quit exercising, and buy yourself a Tripple Whopper with Cheese. PLEASE! I know that personally, when I get married, I want someone that I can shake the house with, not someone I'm going to have to visit in the hospital all the time because I snapped her in half.

Now, I understand that there are some girls who are legitly skinny. And please, those of you who are understand me clearly. I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU! On the guy side of it I am with you. I wish I could gain weight. I'm a very skinny person and very athletic, but unfortunately, it's hard as crap for me to build muscle and so I continue to stay skinny no matter how hard I try. Those of us like that, who are either content in their skinnyness, or who are trying to better themselves by gaining muscle, I applaud you. Just like I applaud girls (or guys) who are honestly overweight and are trying to lose weight the correct way. Both of these type of people are beautiful in my sight. Those who work to better themselves.

Now, for those who are morbidly obese. Do not think that I am approving of your lifestyle. I am sorry, but when you start naming your rolls Bub and Uh, it has gone too far. There is something that you can do about that. There are very few times when that sort of case is a genetic problem instead of a discipline problem. Quit eating so much and so many times a day. Start exercising. Think about diet pills.

Apart from them however, I say that I still prefer a girl with some meat on her bones. I would like to explain why in more detail because, at the moment, many of you are probably thinking that I am a pefectly shallow person who thinks that skinny people are too skinny and fat people are too fat but that is not so.

I prefer girls like this because they have a great personality. I can honestly say that if you want to get my attention short skirts wont do it, lots of cleaveage wont do it, midriff wont do it. In fact, the most you will get from me is a "Cover it up." or a "Get some clothes on Chicka."

Personality. I love learning about how deep a person is. I love spending time with someone and hearing about their lives, how they feel, what makes them tick, what they believe in. I love being able to connect on a level that allows me to feel what the other people is feeling without them having to tell me. And I love intelligence.

Ooops!

I said it.

I love intelligence.

The girl I like now, the reasons I love her?

She's intelligent, artsy, trustworthy, confident, witty, funny, has a good sense of humor, and has an attractive personality. And those are just a few. I do think that her body is beautiful even if she's not skinny, but would you like to know why? Because she isn't obsessed with her weight. She tries her best to better herself every day. Eating right, exercising, taking care of herself. And because of that, she is beautiful.

This is why I say I prefer non-skinny girls.

This, is the One I Love.
