Hey, Im Guinevere , 25 female from Perth, Australia.
Ive been overweight all my life, and had the banding done almost a year ago now. Before the banding, i never had a problem dating men or with men not finding me attractive. 80-90 % of men prefer women who are curvy. Alot of men these days do not find the stick image of women attractive in the least and if you have the confidance and personality, you will have no problem attracting men, regardless of shape, size, colour.
I know that being over weight does cause some self esteem issues, ive been through them myself, but you need to realise that you are beautiful, in ALL ways, regardless of what you look like.
Just my pennies worth.
