Problem solved.
1. Fat women don't like fat men.

2. I can't hook up with a fat woman because they can't keep up with me physically (stereotype).

She was the rare, rare fat girl who had it together in so many ways that she pretty desirable regardless.

{By the way, she was fat because she ate garbage.. not epic portions of garbage, but enough .. she ate fast food once a day, a starbucks sugary drink once a day, and a bag of potato chips for a snack at night... yep, do that for five years, and you'll need a bigger couch.)

Anyways, she wouldn't date fat guys. Her husband was getting a little chunky once, and she complained. He was shocked, but there it was .. she explained that he married her fat, she didn't marry a fat man, and she wouldn't. She had standards.
The definition of hypocrisy.

I can't say so much about the men being fat, if someone want to take that cause up they can go ahead -- but I'm telling you what i know about women. and if you're a fat woman, majority males (almost all) do not want you and considers you worthless as far as they are concerned....and it's not about health issues that's what they will tell you b/c if it was a skinny woman with cancer, I guess they're going to fall out of love with her too because some cancers will make you drop dead quick, right? No. Let me tell you what it's really about, looks: they do not like fat women b/c they are into those really nice supermodel body types. they feel they need to compete with other men where their women are concerned, so the best looking woman on their arm 'proves' something about them personally.....men are 9 times out of 10 about the looks of a woman & how quickly she is planning on sleeping with them, period. this is because the more attractive a woman is, the more they consider her valuable. i don't know why they just don't own up to it and say that's what it is. But anyways, I know what they're all about either way.

Obviously people are going to be attracted to what they like, but there's no need to make all kinds of exaggerations and judgments.

this is absolutely right.

That is why as I have said over and over and over again, its all about the visual. I really dont care what the scale says, or what the tag on your clothing says, its all about the VISUAL to me FIRST!! I guess instead of saying WEIGHT is a dealbreaker, for me WIDTHS is more accurate as to if its a dealbreaker or not.

You hear about it all the time, and read about it here where people are all like "Oh, I am a size blah blah blah blah.......". Its NOT important the size clothes you wear or what the scale says. Its about how you LOOK!!!

True. I know lots of 180-plusers and even some 200-plusers who make me drool.

Well I tried to make this point yesterday about all that self esteem crap basically being a waste of time -- but got shot down, sigh...but alas, agree with you. I say though, better to face the truth instead of pretending something else.
