The invisible man..

   I've blogged about this in the past, but it must have been on Myspace. Wow. seems like an eternity ago. Anyway. Invisibility.  When you're a heavy guy, like I have been the past 10 yrs or so, no one sees you. You essentially get 2 reactions if you're trying to talk to a woman. No reaction, as in she just doesn't notice you or take any interest in you at all, or , she looks anxiously around hoping no one sees her talking to you, or gives a look like you have leprosy and she's fearing she doesn't contract some horrible disease from being in close proximity to you. ALL of these things hurt, and all of these things are what we 'less-than'attractive' guys have to deal with on a daily basis.
   I play lead guitar for a popular local band. I'm pretty good. When I'm on stage with my guitar I feel like king of the room, and its the only time I get noticed by women. They'll flirt with me shamelessly , dance suggestively in front of me, but the minute I'm not on stage, and just a regular guy again, I'm either invisible or I have leprosy. Its a large reason for my wanting to transform my life, get healthy, get in shape, look great again like I used to. Give these shallow women out here zero reason to not give me a chance. Maybe my reasons are selfish, maybe they're all the wrong reason..but the end result will be the same. I'll be healthy, happy and look great. The rest will work itself out.   _LD_
