ON-LINE DATING FORUM CATERS TO THE LARGE AND LONELY

ON-LINE DATING FORUM CATERS TO THE LARGE AND LONELY

LANCASTER, Pa. (Wireless Flash) -- Some netheads are "loving large" thanks to a Pennsylvania man who's started a web dating forum for the big and beautiful. Retired computer programmer Deke Hammel -- who weighs more than 300 pounds himself -- started the website so fat folks and their admirers would have a place to meet. Hammel claims many men prefer larger ladies but they're too ashamed to admit it in today's "thin is in" society. The website -- generous.net -- must be working because most of the personal ads are pulled within six months as the lardy lonely hearts finally find "heavy dates." In fact, the thrice-married Hammel says he met his current wife on the website.
