I am sure I will get bashed along with a lot of nasty PMs for this.

Ladies, I don't mean to be rude [then DONT - pmdelites], but pay attention to your appearance. More specifically, I am talking about your weight.
There are a few ladies that have been on my list. However, some of the recent reviews say stuff like "much heavier then pics", or "she is not fat, but approaching BBW", "not what I expected", etc. Additionally, I have read reviews of other ladies, ones that I am not necessarily interested in, with the same comments.
It seems that those types of weight comments are becoming more common in reviews. [do you have facts to support that?? -pmdelites] It does not bother me if a lady gains few pounds but when I see "much heavier then pics", etc., I will take the lady of the list.
All I am trying to say is that guys [all guys or just you?? -pmdelites] do notice those types of comments so if the phone is not ringing as it once was... just something to think about.
Let the bashing begin.

first of all, in my book appearance does not equal body size and/or weight. to me, it means how one looks - hair, face, nails, clothing, cleanliness.
so, i consider your titling this "ladies, pay attention to your appearance" as being misleading and leading away from your main concern.
second, it reads like your concern is about SOME women [not all women who advertise here] - that their descriptions of their weight and/or body size might be less than 100% accurate [surprise!!]. if so, you might do one of the following:
* post that you've noticed a few ads that are kinda misleading, why you dont like that, and what you'd like to see.
* tactfully let that woman know, but only if you have first hand evidence. to say "you wrote you're slim, but lots of guys have reported you're way big" is not the way to do it.
third, it appears [from your post] that you care to visit slim to medium build women or women who accurately describe themselves. if so, then just state that as your preference and NOT that women need to pay attention to their appearance.
if eccie women are like most women i know in the non-hobbying world, most of them pay
lots of attention to and really care about their bodies and their weight.
so, my suggestion is state your preference and leave it at that.
no need to "tell" women what they should or should not be doing.
or just dont say anything and add/remove women to your list as you so choose.
