My now ex boyfriend broke up with me over the weekend because he just didn't find me 'physically attractive'. He said he tried (for the past 8 months apparently) to make himself attracted to me because we got along so well, but couldn't lie to me anymore.
So yeah, plenty of men only judge on a woman's physical appearance and that will never change. Lucky for that woman that she's getting laid while she's fat and 40....good for her.
They're getting dates. You can't go out to restaurants / events without seeing fat guys with girlfriends/wives.
And yeah, shocking, women have an easier time hooking up. News at 11.
I don't get the fat acceptance crap though. People that don't take care of themselves don't do it for me. Not everyone can be thin, but everyone can exercise nearly every day and eat well if they make it a priority.
Why have fat friends then? and as for JJ's situation the guy was lying to her for 8 months. It really was a cruel and dickish move for him to take it that far if he felt that way all along.

It doesn't sound he judged solely on appearance. How could you come away from that situation with that assertion?
Men on here are constantly told to suck it up, and that they have no right to expect attention from women who do not find them attractive.
The reciprocal advice is rarely applied to women. It's always, "oh he's just a jerk, you're better off without him."
I'm sad for JJ because she seemed so happy, but how was he a dick? Should he have lied to her? I guess maybe that would have been better.
He's not a dick at all, he's actually a fairly decent man. What likely happened is the fact that he had a devoted girlfriend gave him the confidence to pursue what he really wanted..which was not me. Happened with my last relationship as well. Guess some guys are never satisfied.

..Because that's exactly what he told me. He said he loved being around me but that it didn't make up for the fact that he wasn't physically attracted to me. My personality didn't trump my unattractiveness, no big. It's not the first time it happened, but it will be the last since I'm not going to be dating any longer.

Friends and bf/gfs are different, you have different expectations for the relationship.
It actually sounds like he liked her and cared about her and was trying to make the relationship work for the right reasons. He just couldn't. Nothing wrong with that. He gave it an honest try.

Agreed. But I wish he would have just stopped dating me in the beginning instead of leading me on for nearly a year.
