The end.
Obesity isn't normal either. Why are you accepting of obesity but unaccepting of clingy-ness?

You're kind of crazy. Surely there's more to defining your dating profile than clinginess?

Well, are you getting enough attention? You are pretty much highjacking every thread and starting a whole bunch of your own. Is it making you happy?

Don't forget the sense of entitlement!

It's at this point that I sincerely hope that he's a sock-puppet-type poster, because I can't believe that an actual person would be so lacking in self-awareness.

How many times are you going to bring up the same thing? We have all given you dozens of answers. Yet you keep asking. You're not going to change people's answers (or reality) by asking again and again.

Clinginiess is a negative quality whether one is normal weight, underweight or overweight. It feels negative to people whether they are normal weight, underweight or overweight.

Both are legit reasons to reject a person.

Nowhere do I see any statements, suggestions, or implications that she's accepting of obesity.

I did see a statement offering you advice to improve your failures.

Bit curious as to why it seems you prefer to lament about unfairness and project onto others words rather than remedy your failures.

It may be 'unfair', hypocritical, etc however your issue seems to be clingy and you can probably fix that so why don't you? Especially since you've repeatedly posted that you think overweight/obese gals should lose the weight instead of complaining.

When I was dating I would have rejected both. And a bunch of other things too. Yes, I was picky. When did that become a bad thing? I would have rather stayed home, or hung with friends than go out with someone I wasn't attracted to and wasn't intellectually stimulating.

People aren't obligated to date anyone. You may view that as unfair - face it, life's unfair. Deal with it or don't. It will only affect you, and no one else.

Well, I think his point is that obesity should be "worse than" clinginess and therefore, obese women should want him.

Or something.

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