I'm not fat, and I'm going with a fat man. And he doesn't "sit around eating". I didn't ask how he got fat, but he hasn't gained weight since I met him, and gets exercise, so the weight gain must have happened earlier. He works long hours, the weight gain could have been due to a stressful period. It's a misconception that fat people "sit around eating". This just goes to show the prejudice people have against fat people.

It's sad but I was contacted online far more by morbidly obese men than anything else and when I would tell them no they would get nasty. It's not my fault they are fat and I shouldn't have to date them. Now if they lose weight and want to contact me again who knows but not dating big guys.
As I posted earlier in the thread. I don't think someone should have to apologize for their dating preferences. It reminds me of a stupid thread a long time ago, where someone asserted that if you didn't want to date outside your race, you're somehow a racist???

Complete abuse of that word, as a sidenote. If some black woman prefers to date black dudes over me, a white guy, she is somehow a racist??

Same goes with fat people...

Like I posted up above... I'm a chubster, need to lose a few... not totally gross.. but need to drop some poundage.

I don't care if others want to date fat people, but I am not open to it, sorry. I think fat people deserve respect but to me it's a preference. For those who complain why women don't want to date you, well there is this thing called lose weight. I realize not all fat people can lose weight but most can.

I'm not either, so no I wouldn't date one.

Now I know there are some guys who just avoid eating reasonable and just eat terrible food and even take anything healthy out of eating Fast Food. As an example I know of 1 guy who will go to Wendys and order 2 doubles with cheast, mayo, and no vegetables, and 3 large fries. At a time. The guy's huge though and hates veggies. If you were contacted by those guys, then your arguement is valid.

But there's guys like myself, who will always be larger. I will never look "in shape" because of what I look like. I can jog 5 miles a day and I'd still look the same 4 months later, with eating healthy. I can certainly control my body weight, but my body won't change. But there's a reason why I'm considered the strongest guy at work, and I'm the strongest guy amongst my friends. I can lift more than anyone I know, which goes back to what I did in my early 20s.

But that doesn't sound like a fat guy but a big guy (as in muscular)and there is a difference. The guys I was mentioning waddled when they walked and it was horrifying.

this is true.
I'm no stick insect, and yet I get fairly regular exercise, and eat much less than my g/f. who is 2lb lighter than a meringue.
I've been on a diet and exercise progam for 8 weeks and put on 3 lbs !!

While it's true in some cases that the person overeats and underexercises, this is not true for everyone
