The fat girl placed emphasis on the importance of a man flossing 3 times daily and how having a healthy mouth adds years to your life. I'm okay with this requirement.

But she never once mentioned anything about here very obvious "weight issues". She did mention how much she likes food and loves to eat all kinds.

I find it very odd how people can set the bar for others but keep it low for themselves. Being healthy should be a holistic approach.

This a a great example of my people ARE and STAY single.
If you wait a bit longer those women would have even more requirements, "take that to the bank".

Go ahead, try to keep up to keep them happy - good luck!

Then there's the red bolded underlined words which makes sense these days to me at least.

I think it's a weirdly excessive requirement, but I see tons of people who talk about how they won't date a smoker because it's disgusting, and I don't get that either. And those people are not necessarily the picture of health themselves. And I'm not even a smoker, btw - I'm just not bothered by it.

People like what they like.

If I didn't like kissing I wouldn't mind, but I do. It is like kissing an ashtray. Of course, I wouldn't want to ever live with them either due to the smell, and my records and books would have to be kept in a different building.

So fat people should shut up, feel bad about themselves and be grateful for what they get? I see what you're saying, but we've all got our list of things we find attractive or unattractive in a potential partner. Clearly she probably won't end up with a guy that sees weight as a deal breaker and apparently she won't end up with a guy that isn't up on oral hygiene. But maybe there's a guy out there right now that's into larger women with spotless teeth and great breath just dying to meet this woman, who knows.......

I'm clueless when it comes to art, but I love a woman that is into art and has a creative side. I think it's fantastic to see the passion as they drag you to an art exhibit and chatter about stuff that I don't understand. Point is that one can like someone for being different than they are. Just my two bits.

Better buckle up, you will get lots of angry responses.
You know what they say about assumptions. Are you having a bad day? What is with the mean streak?

Me either unless I get something stuck in my teeth during the day. How would one even know how often a person flossed?

Flossing three times a day is insane.

Still, I don't see good oral hygiene as being a ridiculous requirement. Just because someone is overweight doesn't mean they should settle for someone who has fricked up teeth. There are plenty of overweight men with good teeth for her to choose from.

So a fat girl wants to have a guy floss 3 times daily and her standards are too high? And why would she mention that she's fat to her friend? They both know that she's fat! NO ONE likes to talk about their weaknesses to anyone else-it's not natural. It's like saying, "I want a girl to have the ability to touch her toes. BTW, I'm retarded!" See how this DOESN'T make sense?


I knew a couple of fat girls who had higher than average standards, but to their credit, men paid attention to them and came to them in droves.

I have a feeling that the second hand information we are getting from the OP may be a bit skewed, just so he can make a point.

Meh. I lived with a smoker before. He smoked outside and kept his clothes separate from mine. It was mainly not a problem. And the kissing... I guess it doesn't really bother me as long as they haven't literally JUSTHAD a cigarette.

Having watched two relatives die of metastatic lung cancer though... that's the part that mostly concerns me.
