Read that until you get it
I get this, which is exactly why I posted what I posted.

The reason you're having a hardtime with getting dates is you, not others.

please read until you get it

Unfortunately, though, Seattleites are not friendly. You mentioned that there are a lot of hot babes walking their dog(s) around Greenlake. True, but I wouldn't try to start a conversation with any of them.

Your loss, man, your loss! A lot of those women are out there to see and be seen, and they're definitely grateful when someone notices. What "Seattleites are not friendly" means is that most dudes are too chicken-sh1t or self-absorbed to approach women, or they just have no idea how it's done. That makes easy pickings for the rest of us. Easy. Pickings.

I'm not willing to date someone that's overweight. It's nothing against them personally. I'm just not attracted to overweight women, and being with someone that is active and eats healthy is important to me. The thing that blows me away, is that my single friends (both male and female) that are not in good shape are always going on dates. As my best friend has said to me while laughing " my dating pool is 3 times as big as yours.......literally." In a way it's funny, but it's also kinda sad. It seem odd that we live in a society that's so unhealthy, that my dating life would improve by stuffing my face and joining the masses. I even live in one of the healthiest cities in america (Seattle), and it's still really hard to meet single women over 30 that aren't overweight.
It gets harder and harder the older you get, then you factor in previously married people with kids, etc etc the baggage get to be more in general. You have to decide if a woman with just a couple extra is ok or not, not saying you can't find fit women in their 30's. Just sayin.

If your reaction, once you didn't get the responses you wanted, was to call us all fat, I can't imagine what you'd say to a SO if she disagreed with you.

Where do you live? Plenty of fit 30 something women in Northern Jersey/NYC.
Matter of fact...we have 40 somethings that are still in great shape.

I happen to be an overweight guy that am in the process of getting into better shape.
I don't really have a problem getting attention from the type of women that you desire.
Maybe you need to work on your game a little bit.

My guess is if he can't find "fit" women in their 30s he is 1) not even looking, 2) has an exceedingly high standard, or 3) is gay. Or maybe he really is too hot for anyone around and just needed to get it off his chest.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that the negative comments are coming from people that are butthurt by my thread because they feel insulted. Come on now.......

At no point in my post does it say that I think I'm beautiful. I'm just an average looking guy that's in good shape, looking for an average looking woman that's not overweight. I find it crazy that we're so overweight in this country, that it's actually become more difficult for someone like myself to date.
I meet women that I would date all the time. It's not like they don't exist, but they're all taken, and the ones that aren't know their value. It's really just a ratio thing. There are literally 3 guys like myself for every woman that's fit.

I do look, and it's not as if I don't go out on dates. I'm just saying it's much harder than it used to be, and I feel that if I were 20lbs overweight like most people I know, I think dating would actually be easier.
