I know of many unattractive men who have been in relationships, so I don't agree.

Doesn't matter that I treat my boyfriend like gold and adore him. I committed the ultimate sin of being fat, so I deserve to die alone.
The last wedding I went to, the bride was huge but so was the groom. I have another chubby friend who is engaged to a chubby guy. They all seem very happy.

The problem I face is that when people see I'm chubby, they assume I am unhealthy and inactive. That's just not true though. It's actually one of the contributing factors to my ending a long term relationship a year and a half ago. My ex was chubby too but completely sedentary. I couldn't take it anymore because I was scared of him dying.

I would love to find a chubby guy I could go hiking with, kayaking with, etc. But when I meet chubby cute guys they seem to want to go out with skinny hot chicks to validate themselves. Those that are into me assume that I want to sit on the couch and eat pizza all night. One guy would tell me about how he ate two Whoppers in a row. That was alarming to me.

And thin guys like my current, who is way more inactive than I and eats fast food on the regular, look down on me because I am chubby. So whatever. I'm just stepping back and giving it up to God.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I am 115 lbs. and haven't been in anything even resembling a relationship for 6 years now (and that relationship pretty much sucked), so it doesn't sound like you're doing all that bad to me. Good luck though!

Thank you, but it's hard to even get a date, let alone move on and find a relationship.

Given up...eh? I just need to be okay with any outcome.
Still single but considering I should start dating, form a relationship and fall-in-love with me

It's hard to give up on something you haven't started nor have any experience in.
