I don't understand it either. There were lots of guys that I wasn't attracted to when I was dating. I never felt the need to announce it to anyone.

Absolutely.

If it's a deal breaker, it's a deal breaker.

I don't date fat guys.

Sex appeal has got bugger all to do with poundage. Up to a point, that is. When you're my age, everyone has a coupla extra, and if they don't, they've just lost it, or are too scrawny.

It's not very many people who have perfect bodies, and some men LIKE curves in all the right places.
I seriously doubt that.

Well said. Plenty of guys are not willing to date overweight women. But instead of advertising it, they simply go about not doing it. Most of the guys who make a big deal out of stating they won't do it are pretty much jerks all around. NOTE: I'm not including the guys who in the course of a conversation mention they do not feel attracted to overweight women. I'm talking more about the ones who make it a point to belittle and denigrate overweight women (and men as well) as if they gain something from it.

Who do you think most guys would choose. A 19 year old who has been unemployed 2 months..

Or a single mom who hasn't worked for 3 years...

Hmmmm.. that's a tough one..

Most female posters here may be "overweight". From the threads, it's pretty evident the vibes they give out. Hence the deep seated need to express and yank chains. That's why after a certain point, they get locked with all the bickering

A 19 year old teenager who trails after her bf to be a maid or a adult with a beautiful son who's bettering her life and going to school for the second time ?

I'm not sure why people on here think that just because you don't enjoy putting down heavy women that you must be heavy yourself.

Or maybe there are women here like me who used to be overweight but aren't anymore and are sick and tired of hearing men complain about women's weight and treat overweight women like they're scum of the earth?

I won't date a guy who says negative things about overweight women, even though I'm a 'normal' weight now. It just shows a lack of class. If you don't like 'em, don't date 'em...doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to be a jerk about it.

I'd take the fat girl who rips my clothes off instead of the skinny b**** who knives me in the back anyday.
