speaking of weighing 400 pounds...

Remember the fire dept dinner I went to on Saturday night? (I had the awesome shoes?)

Anyway, one of the most-loved firefighters is G.  His real job is paramedic, and he's definitely the guy you want to show up when you need a paramedic.  He is fun, considerate, smart, caring, and he happens to weigh about 400 pounds. 

(bottom right guy in this photo: http://tinyurl.com/yf2vxzg)

He had a girlfriend when I first met him about 6 years ago, but it turned out she was basically just freeloading off of him and dumped him maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I don't believe he's been in a relationship since.

He walks in with a 23ish year old, 100 pound blonde bombshell.  I am about halfway in to my bottle of wine but have sense enough to keep my voice down when I ask DH "Is she a HOOKER?!" 

Just then, another person at our table says "that must be the Hooters girl."

A few minutes later, I had an actual Freudian slip when I called her a "hookers" girl.  I truly intended to say "Hooters."  Oops.

Turns out she IS a hooters girl!  No one knows if he actually paid her to go with him that night (which is what we suspect) or if she was just doing him a favor (because he really frequently patronizes hooters, as much for the food as for the ladies.)

I wanted to wait until I had a pic of the 2 of them together at the dinner, but of course I didn't bring my camera, and the official photographer didn't email me pics like he said he would.

    LOL he looks like a nice guy and he looks like the only one who got whatever joke the photographer told.

    Maybe she really likes him?  Is that not an option?

    There are peole out there willing to love the fatties, but that would raise my eyebrows, too.  Dude needs to find a lady that loves him for him rather than trying to buy a girlfriend.

    I just a friendly gal looking for options.

    Yeah, that's why the possibility exists that she just did it as a favor.  But he was pretty open about it.

    Mostly, I wondered if the 100 pound hottie ate any of the dinner, which was fried chicken, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, mostaccioli (sp?) and greasy turkey.

    When I was 17 and HAWT, a fattie took me to his senior prom. We were friends. It was fun. I dont' think anyone thought he paid me for it.  So I appreciate the possiblity exists here, too.

    Since leaving the midwest, I had forgotten how many men there are still sporting the 'stache.

    Whatever guys. You know you'd all raise an eyebrow at a large middle-aged man with a young skinny blonde. Maybe she really does like him, but I would bet money that she doesn't (and I'm making that bet based just as much on my judgement of her profession as his level of attractiveness).

    Women are also more likeyl to overlook weight than men. IMO 

    Especially if he is a good guy.

    sure -- if it was someone i didn't know.  but given that dg actually <strong>knows</strong> this dude, and knows that he's an incredibly funny and nice guy, this smacks of viciousness.

    She also knows the guy has been taken advantage of before and that the chick works at hooters. I know plenty of incredibly nice and funny people who I still judge for certain behaviors.

    Well, she also didn't look like she was having a very fun time.  And he was apparently not too shy about talking about his date and how she came to be his date.

    Look. I wish G would find an awesome woman who can appreciate how awesome he is.  I am confident she's out there somewhere. But this chick was not that.

    I wonder what the reaction would have been if I just posted a pic of the 2 of them from the dinner and left the thread open for comments.

    Also, he has since shaved the 'stache. Much better without it (like 95% of all men).

    When asked whether she would have married Donald Trump if he weren't so rich, his wife replied, "Would he have married me if I weren't so beautiful?"

    One of my favorite quotes.  Just because this thin blonde is pretty, doesn't mean she is smart, fun, or nice.  Just because this guy is 400 pounds, doesn't mean he isn't smart, caring, funny.  There are so many considerations in finding a good match for relationships, it's hard to tell from the outside.
