I have a very different and not so fond take on Ditka, having met him when he was coaching the Saints. But yes, a legend from my childhood passing always gets my notice.

And before someone tells me transit here is fine…bullshit. I’ve been to pretty much every major metro area in the USA and even a few overseas. And guess what? I take mass transit in a lot of them, because their transit doesn’t suck. We are making slow progress here but not enough.

Every one was attractive to me for their own reasons. I will say, poor hygiene or lack of grooming is a huge turn off for me. But that has nothing to do with body type…and the worst offenders I ever had a date with (ahhh, post college blind dates 🤦‍♂️) were not on the heavier side of things.

I had to finally threaten to cut contact with my mother a few years ago. That actually worked for the most part. Now if she tries to get toxic I simply hang up the phone. I can honestly say I’ve had relationships all over the range of body types in my life.

It’s not just women, either. My mother (who lost a lot of weight courtesy of illness and depression) has been a source of body shaming for as long as I can remember. Granted I’ll never be an anything “maxxer” unless it’s “dog cuddles” or maybe “Gandalf-Santa”. apple.news/AQUF_0eu8QIa...
