Wealthy fat guys have no problems attracting women. Like someone said here "nothing dries up a woman faster than a man telling her how broke he is"

Even healthy food is crammed with calories, so one doesn't have to eat junk food to consume a lot of calories. And you seem to think everyone is the same -- same metabolism, same body type, same body fat distributions, same appetites, etc., but people are different.

From personal experience, I see wide variations in my inner circle. I have tall, skinny friend's who never workout, never lift weights, never diet or restrict their food intake yet they are lean. Then I have other friends who train hard and consistently and restrict their diets yet are still carrying extra fat. There is often much more to it than person A eats more and burns less than person B to explain why person A is heavier or fatter.

You've slept with every 40+ fat guy to know definitely that they are all lousy in bed? You must have a heck of a social life. How do you find time to sleep?

What say you?
Do girls have the third option besides the fat and the skinny?

It really depends. If he's a big guy but tried to eat healthy and works out, but slips up occasionally, then I would be fine with that. Then again, given how easy it is for most guys to lose weight, that guy probably wouldn't be fat.

A guy with an unhealthy lifestyle, however, does not appeal to me. I tried to hang out with a guy who was on the bigger side, and he would talk about how he just wolfed down a tub of Ben and Jerry's or two Big King burgers. Gross. He was trying to be funny but instead it was alarming to me.

I work hard to try to eat healthy. It's a struggle for me because I am on the thicker side, so I feel like a hypocrite, but I work out and really try. I can't have someone in my life who would sabotage that.

So you're on the "thicker" side and work out and really try, but you wouldn't deal with a guy of similar description? I understand why you would feel like a hypocrite.

I didn't say that. In fact, if you read my first sentence, you'll see that I said the opposite. I would date someone who was bigger if he tried to eat healthy and worked out. Someone who brags about eating two huge fast food hamburgers doesn't fit that description.

The link is BS. 155 lbs is 70.3068174 kilograms. But he should check his weight every now and then. He can't afford a few extra pounds. But right now he is within normal weight range.
