Issues getting naked?
One of our readers wrote me asking how she should handle a dating dilemma. She has been dating a man who is a little “husky” and is extremely shy about his body. He was in a car accident last year, so his activity level has dropped dramatically, and he is not at all comfortable at this size.
While he is actively working on getting back in shape, he does not want her to see him without clothes. A lot of people have body issues that can impede intimacy with their partners. When you have this kind of hang up, it helps to be with someone who understands and is supportive.
How do you really show support to someone who isn’t comfortable with their own body?
If you are someone who has this image issue, do you talk about it openly? Would you want your partner to bring it up?
What happens to your dating relationships when you have an issue with your appearance?

Bluz – When she called me my heart dropped before she even told me. I just knew she was about to deliver bad news. I thought maybe someone in the family. I signed his Guest Book. He was such a cool manager. He helped us (the only 5 blacks there) get positions when no one else would or when road blocks were thrown up everytime you tried to better yourself.

I looked under Georgia’s Secretary of State site and I believe Two Pesos was the name. There was a company, now dissolved some years ago. The CFO was located in TX but the registered agent was local. I believe that was it.
And the prize (of Slim’s bra) goes to For Real

Bluz – I had the chance to go to Backstreet at least once back when it was open. It was considered a ‘private’ all night club. I’m sure if I were to dig into my old box of stuff, I’ll probably find the membership card lol
