It may not be to your taste, but look around: There are lots of overweight women who are married or who have partners. I knew this woman who ran around 300 pounds. She had long, gray hair, wore glasses and wore these big mumu dresses flat slipper-type shoes. I came to find out she had TWO husbands, or "spouses" as she referred to them, since what she had isn't legal in New York.

She'd been with one of them for 17 years and then she'd met the other one about 7 years later. They formed what they termed a committed triad. The men were not bisexual, but the three of them owned a house and lived together as a family, and as far as I know, they still do.

That's a very unusual situation, of course. But there are still lots of overweight women who date.

Seriously.
True this. But it's obvious this guy was insane.

I'm assuming you are shorter than that! Good on you for not being the sort of person who worries about what people think.

The woman who takes the blood at my doctor's office is 6'5". You can imagine it's weird for me to see a woman taller than I am--doesn't happen very often.

I don't know you or her, but I find it hard to believe that no man has ever been interested.

Really. If he had met a woman, he might have ended up killing her because she used the wrong detergent or something.

Depends on the woman. I know hot women of all physical types.

That doesn't make her a 7. A woman who's a foot shorter than me and weighs the same is not a 7.

This is where guys hanging out in the echo chambers of the internet lose. It's easier to whine online about being "Involuntarily celibate" rather than actually work on being the kind of guy a woman would be happy to be with. Or at least being the kind of man who lives a rich and full and happy life even if he's not getting laid on the regular.
I agree with most of what you said......but for a healthy male, the bolded is an oxymoron.

Kissing the virgins, obviously. Make love not war!

Man or woman? Who is more likely to like someone who is "different" looking BUT become intimidated and give up because his/her family, friends, co-workers, neighbors wouldn't understand the attraction?
