Today's Bizarro is brought to you by My Favorite Novels.True, some of us are predisposed to look heavier.
For instance, even though I am 6' 4" tall, my body type makes me look more like 5' 7". The illusion my body type creates is so complete that when you hold a tape measure up next to me, it even makes the tape measure look shorter. Again, around 5' 7" or so.
Fortunately, I also have a body type that makes me look thinner than I actually am. While I weigh around 225 lbs, I look like I don't weigh a pound over 140. Living as a big, tall man who looks like a small, thin man has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantage: A bully picks a fight with me thinking I am a wimpy little dude but then I kick his ass like an ape on a luggage commercial.
Disadvantage: Women who respond to my personal ads have difficulty hiding their disappointment when they meet me the first time.
The point of all of this is that we all have our imperfections to bear. At least you're not covered with permanent horizontal stripes.
