Now, it would be one thing if a person was a complete slob, let themselves go and then turned around and called an interested suitor who was a few pounds overweight a fat pig. As long as the person doing the rejecting is comfortable with and likes the way that their body looks they can be as picky as they want.
That's what we're talking about. Some guys can be completely out of shape and turn around and reject a woman who's just as out of shape as them. People can be as picky as they want, but at least admit you're a hypocrite if you're holding someone else up to a standard of beauty that you don't meet.
If you can read between the lines of what someone writes, and can treat the relationship with as much respect (and expectations) as a real life one, it can work. It did for my wife and I. I said 'did', as our marriage will end within the next two years (maybe sooner). Our marriage isn't breaking up because we don't love each other. One thing that I have learned from this is that ANY time you even 'think' you might be starting up a relationship, pay VERY CLOSE ATTENTION to what the other person says he or she does not like. If you can live with the dislikes of another person, go for it. Otherwise, you will be disappointed in trying to change the other person.
Absolutely. I see/hear that all the time - these guys that look like they have a basketball under their shirt, and they talk about how they are only interested in ladies that have stayed in shape. Huh? And these guys kill me. They think if they life a few weights, and get a couple of muscles in their arms, THAT somehow makes them "fit"? Ummm...no.
I bust my @ss at the gym, and I'm a runner. I do this for my health, but also I simply enjoy the workouts, and I enjoy being fit - I like the way clothes look on me, and I like wearing bikinis at the beach. I am not interested in sharing my life with someone that does not share that priority. Why do so many of guys think that women don't care about that?? I don't get it.
Not all women do. But, online, you'd probably mention that you like to be fit, that you're (overly) concerned about your body...possibly diet too. You might mention you like many outdoor activities--whereas I'm not into sports at all. I didn't get my body from a gym, or from the tip of a needle. I got my body through hard, physical labor.
When do I go out? Well, I usually wake up anywhere from noon to 2 p.m., eat about 6 p.m., go to work at 8 p.m., and then I'm working until almost 6 a.m. About the time most people are starting their work day, I'm fast asleep! So if I WAS single, had I NOT met someone online, I would be hard pressed to "meet" people.

I have no idea what your point is here. You don't think running 13 miles is hard and physical? I'm here to tell you...it is. Quite frankly, it doesn't matter HOW you stay fit and healthy. What matters, is that you do.

haha, uhh ok. I guess that's your right but it's true I've always been a night owl.

Online dating is a great screening technique
