You have to have a personality and an ability to carry on a conversation to get to this place you are describing. These guys who think they must be instantly smitten and/or attract a woman solely at first glance are lacking in the social skills department, so they never get to that level.

Pheromone and oxytocin overload, and it's love. The inside and the outside of the guy come together in your mind to make a whole different, complete person, and you really see who he is, and he is so cool.

It's not the sex, it's the reveal, when you discover he has got it--what attracts you--going on inside his head.

Ladies you know what I am talking about.
Oh yeah. I've had that experience. It's always when you least expect it. Bam!

Since you are determined to discuss it here, your post was deleted for discussing moderation. It was not deleted because you felt you could prove your mail order bride point.
My girl is american, I've never dated foreign. (Not too many here) I didn't say anything about mail order bride. All I said was there are more hottie's overseas. I didn't "guys hope one of those sites"

Well, congratulations, jay. When's the wedding?

You have to get a chance though. You have to have a mutual friend or some kind of activity where you see someone more than once. Or at least spend enough time with them to get know them. You can't just cold approach get a number and hope she answers her phone.

Yeah, despite the expected bad reactions of some, of course the gist of it is true. I cite two research findings that support it: narcissism correlates at least slightly with physical attractiveness, and the rise in narcissism has been greater in women than men. It's probably fantasy to think someone has done a study specifically about BMI and narcissism, but if there were one from 30 years ago and one today, it could settle the issue.

It would be nice if people would acknowledge the truth, so that we could begin to talk about how to improve the situation. And a simple "women lose weight" isn't quite the way to go about it

The point I was trying to make about the tv show is that, horror of horrors, overweight people somehow manage to find love too. Very few women are supermodel gorgeous and very few men resemble George Clooney, but somehow they find another person who desires them.

You're assuming that everyone who rates themselves is truthful. From what I hear about online dating, everybody lies about their looks.

Also, if a guy just goes to the gym to up his number by 2, rather than going simply because it's his lifestyle to stay healthy and fit, isn't he showing that he's incredibly superficial?

Obesity has less of an effect on the dating market than the superficiality of it all, the inability of people to communicate effectively, and the pathetic caliber of people who resort to dating sites.
