Reply #1: I noticed that too. I'm sure part of it is her profession and perhaps

where she lives? I don't know much about the area. It seems like a lot of her friends worked with or for her at one time or another.

And, I don't know if this is the case with her but I know a lot of larger women feel more comfortable with gay men because they don't feel judged. For most of my adult life I've been about her size (I'm much smaller now) and often noticed that many straight men seem uncomfortable being friends with fat women unless they are "couple friends" (i.e. husband and wife A are friends with husband and wife B and do stuff together as couples). As if being friendly to a fat woman will "give her ideas" or something. I also notice now that I'm getting thinner that reaction is changing, and I don't feel like I've changed one bit (except physically).
