Sexy Is as Sexy Does... Bigger is definitely better, as Katie Arons -- one of the fifty million American women who wear a size 12 or larger, and a world-famous Ford model -- knows. Without a single word about losing weight, Arons offers the encouragement, confidence, and techniques needed to attract smart, good-looking, and successful men. Here, readers of all sizes will welcome the way Katie defies the expectations of a society obsessed with thinness and offers up tried-and-true advice on: * How to accept yourself as you are * Where to go, what to say, and how to find the "right" type of man * The best cities where real women are truly appreciated * Alternative ways to meet men -- personal ads, the Internet, invitation-only parties (and how to get invited!) * Style tips: makeup, hair, and clothing * "How to make love to a man big time" * Plus lots more! And Katie has put together the ultimate resource guide to organizations, clubs, books and other publications, and on-line support groups. You name it -- if it's out there, Katie's found it. When it comes to love, the bigger the better!
Okay, I'll agree that it's not for pretentious literature hounds, but nobody has ever written a book like this for big women, that I know of. It's dishy, it's glossy, it's fun, and it actually doesn't get the point of how to get a man across so much as how to just enjoy being single and not feel like you NEED a man. Good, self-affirming read for women of all shapes and sizes.
Great read!! Love the insprational messages I received.

I bought this book the first day it went on sale, and thanks to Katie Arons and her advice, I am happy to say that now, I am having sex! I wouldn't be going out, I would be home 'hiding out' (as Katie would say) instead of out meeting an amazing man who loves me!
A true inspiration!

I got my hands on an advance copy of this book at the newspaper where I work. I was touched and impressed by Katie Arons' candor in describing the heartache she experienced after being rejected by men while she was in her teens and 20s. More importantly, as a big woman myself, I was very inspired by the story of how she turned things around and revved up her love life by jumping off the dieting merry-go-round, learning to love herself as she is and by approaching men differently. There is lots of advice on how any big woman can do this, along with encouraging statistics and interviews that prove that many, many men don't care if a woman's body isn't Barbie-esque. I even learned that many men PREFER big women. It's a fun read and the author has a terrific sense of humor. You go, big girl!
