Or something.

Still doesn't work in practice...no matter how many times he cries about the same subject. Just my $.02 and observation.

It should be even. Clinginess should not be worse than obesity, yet it seems to be.

If it was even, then a clingy guy such as myself could get an obese woman. Because clinginess is seen as worse than obesity, an obese woman will often reject a clingy guy such as myself.

It's called scapegoating OP. You can't go by what a bunch bitter people say after being rejected and call it a societal norm.

A little (LOT) off base. OP is bitter, a bunch of us on this thread are happily married.

I am sorry, I could live with clinginess and deal with it, but someone who is obese? No way.

Telling how often you seem to make statements about how the world and how women should be just so it can benefit you.

That is because he wants to feel better about himself. He wants.to hear obese > clingy in terms of negativity. Life doesnt work that way of course!

Where did I say I was talking about you or others on this thread?? I'm talking about people who scapegoat those who reject them.

Ha! It's like saying which do you like better, movies or pizza?

Some people aren't attracted to fat, some people aren't attracted to clingers, some aren't attracted to both. It's a big world out there, and life's too short to be saddled with someone who you can't stand and aren't attracted to.

I had a similar thought. Kinda a big ego to tell others what should and shouldn't be important to them.

Honestly, I'm convinced it's the guys personality and nothing more or less. He could look like George Clooney and have his money and I wouldn't go out with him.

Yes, that's mean.... but trying to help him via rational thought fell by the wayside 10 new threads ago. He prefers blaming the world rather than take a good look at himself.

Why not? Who gets to decide how desirable or off putting different traits are?
