To you there are.

If you aren't attracted to someone, fine. Date who you want, of course!!

But at least have a realistic picture of yourself in mind.

That's fine. That's what these boards are for.

Online dating is concessionary by design. Work, school and social circles. Those are the three pillars of mainstream dating. Anything outside that is concessionary. Life ain't fair, but it is a choice.
I don't think you guys might completely understand where I'm coming from. I'm not looking for the Size 4's, but I think the 8's or 10's might be attainable. But I'm getting the 14's online.

Am I still being unrealistic?

I don't think you know what these sizes look like.

And honestly - I don't think your weight is going to be your main problem. I think your attitude is.

I doubt that your optimal "in shape" weight is more than 10 lbs higher now that it was when you were in your 20's. Look at it this way, if you were doing distance running and not weight lifting, you'd probably weigh 160-165. You wouldn't be 185!

I felt like I could have helped more than I did in my last comment. There is the physical and the metaphysical. You know who you are on the inside, however, often that gets lost in translation, and our physical being doesn't represent that. Perhaps you need to start with yourself. Get in better shape and become the person who gets the above average girl.

Get a good diet. You can start planning using this tool
https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/default.aspx

Work out six days a week. I work from home, so I work out twice a day. Most cant, but if you can that is ideal. my routine...
3 days on 1 off, 3 exercises per muscle group (ex : chest) 3 sets of 8 - 12 reps.
D1 : chest, biceps
D2 : Shoulders, Legs
D3 : Back, Triceps
D4 : Rest

Cardio every afternoon minus 1 day a week. 1 day a week HIIT (high intensity interval training)

If this is to much for you back off and split D1 - D3 into monday, wednesday, and friday splits.

You are visibly obese. The fatties are your league, sorry.

I am a size 8 now (6 in in the summer) and I would never date a man as fat as you.

Many females on line do the same thing. I used to date a woman who did some plus sized modeling and she wouldn't date oversized guys either. I confronted her on it and she said she knew she was being a hypocrit but it was what it was.

Agreed
This is very important
