[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a huge overlap between the private school set and the country club set.  The latter is  almost utterly devoid of  fat people.  So why the surprise that Op is feeling left out?[/quote]

fwiw: OP, perhaps you are bound to feel more self conscious about your weight in a place like NW , DC because, statistically speaking , it is an area of the country with the lowest rates of obesity and cardio-vascular disease in the US. Most people would regard those as positive health indicators and not feel resentful.

These health stats are largely result of life long health habits. You might have noticed that NW DC in general has a high concentration of over achievers ( not just lots of joggers, but every one seems to be training for a marathon or , at minimum, a fund raiser 10K )

You criticize blonde women for being shallow based on what you infer from their looks and the fact that they have not sought you out. May I suggest that for a smart, educated capable person such as yourself, you take a look at the stats in the below link and think about some of the women and children in DC who's obesity may actually be causing more than a psychological  complex. Perhaps you can do something to help people.

Many of my friends do charity fund raising to help with homelessness , teen pregnancy and protecting women's access to birth control. Oooops , a couple of them are blonde and thin.

PP, if you read this thread carefully, you'll find that OP never says anything about "thin blond" people, except to say that people shouldn't make judgments about them based on looks either.

From the immediate PP, you can clearly see the fat-shaming attitude many people in the DC area hold.  If you're fat, it's a defect of character, right?[/quote]
