Naw, I’m not personally offended, just rolling my eyes at the idea that body type was related to competence.

Why not roll my eyes at both? I’m guessing that men didn’t say “I’m attracted to you because you look vulnerable or competent” she (or the commenter) guessed that for whatever reason and inadvertently (I assume) put down women that weren’t like her.

Like her at the time she made the comment, which appears to be after she became curvy.

So gaining some weight invalidates every experience you had prior to that?

if anything, it's that skinny, younger-looking and more "vulnerable" looking women have some specific dating difficulties because the more predatory men go after women that look younger and more vulnerable.

she found that gaining some weight aged her up a bit, and made her less of a target for those types.
