How much do you think your body influences the way people treat you?

It's not really socially acceptable to be overweight where I live and when I was visibly so, I used to get the odd comment, especially from young people. Now I have lost weight, that doesn't happen.

A lot actually. So I adapt conversing on phone or email first to check synergy and meet only if there is compatibility.

I get a lot of respect (and benefit of doubt) because of it

a lot unfortunately

At least 50%

Fairly significantly.
