So let me get this straight you attack me for being upfront about it and then attack me for sparing her feelings? If I am leaving her shouldn't I at least spare her?

Also to the guy who insists that self control doesn't have anything to obesity. I only have one thing to say...Calories in...calories out.

I'll rephrase. If she gets lazy and makes excuses because she doesn't feel the need to be attractive because she's married, or whatever her reasoning, I don't have much of a tolerance for it.

If she develops a medical issue, I am there for her. Better? I may come off a bit shallow, but believe me, I'm not as much as you think.
I was better to start with... which is why I said I wasn't attacking with quoting the post. It was a good example for me to piggy back off of in relation to other posts and the direction the thread was in general.

I meant no direct or implied accusation that you were a monster.

Way to dismiss a whole medical field's research into a much more convenient talking point.

Offcourse not!

You look like the damn water buffalo I just saw on national geographic.

Why don't drop that bread and butter and get your fat buffalo ass in the gym"

I'm assuming you're talking to me, even though this is not what I said. What I said is that your assumption that all overweight people are so because of a lack of self control is flawed and went on to say that the reasons for someone being overweight are as varied as the people themselves. Implied within that is the acknowledgement that some indeed are overweight due to a lack of self control, but that is certainly not the case for all of them, probably not a majority of them even. My apologies for assuming you'd be able to read that deep into my argument, I should have known better.

Ha I'm not attacking you at all. Matter of fact I've not countered anything you've said thus far. It's been incredibly amusing. And honest. And truthful when I think of people who had your mindset and left a so they were not attracted to anymore and disguised the reasons as to why they did it.

I've found you and rational males comments funny, honest, and pretty realistic for good amount of people.

That's not to say that I've agreed with everything you said. I find weight a very complex matter--not everyone accumulates weight in the same way, has the same genes, metabolism, body frame, healthy issues, disorder, emotional problems, life circumstances, etc. I don't Iike to try to examine why some people might gain weight, struggle with it, etc. I just know what my own lifestyle is and what I'm physically attracted to and beyond acknowledging Im not attracted to overweight men, I have no other real judgement.

I don't think you or lnowftball are wrong you both are just different. And it's okay.

I think this is a very reasonable position. A lack of interest or no desire to know more is not the same thing as having a closed mind to the complexity of the issue.

If someone is dedicated to an unhealthy lifestyle (overweight or not), dump them.

I wouldn't get with my SIL.

Why not? She is smoking hot, a triathlete, and generally eats well. She has lots of money and is an executive in a big firm. Why not?

Because she is an alcoholic.

Whatever the bad behavior, move on, op.
You can't want something for someone else.
