I don't think you're fat, maybe more like full figured though. So what, it doesn't matter to me. The nice person within matters and doesn't figure in my thinking that they're either fat, full figured or whatever.
Who knows but I thought it was funny.

Ahaha look at you trying to butter me up. But thanks it is nice of you to say.

I never had a problem and I am sure I am fat by some people's standards.

I figure I still have to lose about 50 lbs before I can even think about dating.

Why? Maybe you're selling yourself way too short.

A long time ago I worked for a company which ran Mainframe IBM computers and one programmer guy was about 400lbs and his wife was slim and petite.

Yes, I think that. I'm a big guy. I guess I would call myself fat now, and I guess I have always been fat, though I also was very much "fat and fit," a gym rat who looked like an NFL lineman (and was often mistaken for one), throughout my 20s and 30s.

For many reasons, I have never considered myself to be someone whom women found attractive. I have never had much success on any level with women. I don't think very many fat men do, as it seems as if women just do not like big men. I have actually been treated badly in daily, non-romantic situations as well. I will most likely be divorced in the near future, and I really am not looking forward to dating - and frequent rejection - at all.

I have seen a few fat men, some even bigger and less athletic than me, do much better with women than I have, but this is very rare. They're slick talkers with game, I guess. I'm the furthest thing from that.

I see fat people coupled up all the time here... What is sad is to see the wife in the hover-round and the fit husband or vice versa.....

Fat is now the norm in America. Now finding a female who enjoys working out and staying fit as much as I do, that is difficult!!!

In the real world, people who are overweight find dates all the time. Not everyone is so superficial that they base who they may go on a date with based on their weight size. That said, keep in mind "fat" and unattractively fat can be two seperate issues, and is a judgement that can vary from person to person.

Someone who is extremely obese is likely to struggle more to find a date than someone who is just slightly, or even moderately overweight.

Now, in C-D world... anyone near the upper end of their BMI "normal" range is completely unattractive, undatable, and destined to spend their life alone.
