A male perspective is lacking on this subject. I know a lot of women of ALL shapes and sizes. Size, to the modern man, is less and less of an issue. Depth, compassion, caring, loyalty, and an adventurous quality are characteristics of a good woman that far outweigh a sister’s weight. Furthermore, if a woman of Jill Scott’s artistic caliber EVER strolled into my life…I don’t care if she’s Sheila’s size or not…I’d think she’s worth her weight in gold.

She’s right about how people don’t look at your face, just gyour girth and how much space you may or may not be taking up. Fat women are mostly the victims of this, less so than fat men, not to say that if a guy isn’t big enough, he won’t be picked on, but it happens LESS with fat men.

The whole country is in a state of confusion and chaos, sadness and madness and they take out ppeople nowadays tkae out their prejudices, hate and anger on just about anything and anybody and fat people are athe last accepted prejudice.

I know because I’m over 400 pounds and sometimes, people cant’ tell how big I am when I dress myself right, so I dont’ get stares or comments all the time, but I often wonder if people are talking about me behind my back.

I know that I hvae had a hard time finding female friends because of my size. Smaller-sized women usually do not hang with fat women or they reject fat women seeking only what they call “fit, attractive, smart” women. It’s sad and bad and makes me ill, but again, this is the way life is.

Ms. Jill – is a treasured pleasure who is adored by her friends, and fans alike. (Hate On Who?)Where ever her head was at in the making of this wonderful album is definitely where her head needed to be, as she is the bridge that allows women and men to take in the sweet flow of her sexy mama-ism.

As for the weight gain, we all want to be more healthly and lessen our health risks, but DAMN if she aint one helluva sexy thick sista! (no down low.)
