They should just feel free, laugh over some things."
Plights Of A Plus Sized Lady: "As a plus size woman, getting your clothe size is difficult. Men are afraid of approaching plus sized women. The discrimination we face out there from people are not good at all. Some men say plus sized ladies are not clean."
