Hi Antlered Chamataka,

I am 5' 10" and 160-170 is weak. If I am not at least 180lbs I look sick.

So in essence these females are shooting themselves with a double barreled shotgun.

Let them have a great life with their cats.
Perhaps you can give them a few pointers to maneuver this path successfully.

Agreed. If women only bred with men that had money, poverty would no longer be an issue...back to reality, tho.

What a dumb mentality some men have. He would rather have a slim ***** who will make his life miserable, than a sweet girl who needed to lose 30lbs.
Hi spinx,

Is it one or the other? I married a sweet slim girl and I am certainly not miserable.

I'm on a couple of dating sites and I describe myself as "average" at 5'6" and 155 pounds or so (size 10-ish). I figure I need to lose about 20 pounds before I'd call myself "slender" or "athletic". Do I look fat?

If you want to talk generalizations. Why are "all" men on dating sites socially inept bad spellers? This is typical of the messages I get on Yahoo Personals and Plenty of Fish.

"hi I saw ur profile and think ur hot so plz check out mine sometime and if u wanna chat let me know. i am honsnt and hard working and need a good ladie in my life"

No, you aren't fat at all. You have a very nice figure and you look like you weigh a lot less than you do.

That's just truly pathetic! And it's true in good 95% (at least) of the cases. I'd never respond to crap like that.

On another note, you can't blame men for not wanting someone who is 30lbs overweight. 30 will turn to 50 and so on and so forth. After childbirth it gets even worse. A lot of men are actually thinking that far ahead. If she's actually doing something about it now, then many men wouldn't mind her at all.
Hi Dorrans,

When I was in my late 20s in the burbs, I heard and saw all the excuses. I figured it was just a matter of time. What was the motivation to marry into that? I recently went to Boston Chicken for those $1 meals which is a complete fluke. I almost always cook from scratch. I took it home to add my own vegetable sides. I scanned the room and the only people not heavy were under 30. My wife also does a great job limiting the exposure to our son. Many women see no reason to have cooking skills as I certainly do since I was a child. That usually means trouble down the road. Who wants to spend their life with someone who does not care what they eat or how it ravages their body? Its your own body and what is more valuable than that? I just don't get it. I eat well too but always with fruits and vegetables.

"What does this mean?"

An MGTOW follower would know and they do exist here in the CD relationship forum.

"see above"

Same as above.

"Perhaps you can give them a few pointers to maneuver this path successfully."

If it's for a "she" she'll have to fend for herself, and for a "he" please tell him to get in touch with me immediately!

Ok, I don't know how else to make it clear. I said "HE." I was referring to his situation, the women involved it - that's all. The slim woman he was dating happened to be miserable, but he was all about her because she was slim and attractive. The overweight woman was sweet as pie.

I don't know how hard it is to understand what I was saying. Separate the generalizations. My example was situational.

Again, I said HE, as in what he wanted - not what applies to all men or women.

She is VERY PICKY as to the religion, national origin, looks, height, professional status, and earnings capacity of a potential mate.

She is of a nationality where men are very easy to marry. They actually will line up like lambs to the slaughter and get married because in their culture, it is very important to get married. She has met probably every man within an appropriate age range and of the nationality and religion she is on the east coast of the USA and has met some from back home in India too.

Result?

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Meanwhile she is crying she wants to have kids before it is too late.

But heaven forbid she marry a "regular" guy or even one who drives a car service car or has a food stand on the corner.

It must be a highly paid professional.

Well, those are either married off or they are looking for women younger
than her at this stage of the game.
Hi I_LOVE_LI,

No doubt. Weight for a women generally means the quality of the man she seeks must drop. That is not necessarily weight but could be a hit on status or personality. It has nothing to do with being single. Its simple economics.

9s that settle for 6s and 7s will last about a day online. 6s that want 6s may last a month. 8s looking for 8s will last a few months. 6s looking for 9s and 10s live alone.
