I think many would lose weight if they got hooked up with a guy in really good shape.

Instead of going to the mall, we're going skiing or tubing.

I'll bring the boat and gas......

Look, when women only care about money, men don't hesitate for one second to call them "gold diggers." If all cares about is looks, if looks trump any and all other considerations, why should be be surprised a lot of people call him "shallow?"

I think it is shallow. But it is what it is. If you really like the woman, perhaps see where it goes? The woman's weight shouldn't be this insurmountable obstacle: she has everything, but....seriously? If I met someone who had everything except one quality I value, I would revisit my dealbreakers to see if they're really worth being dealbreakers.

I will say I rarely ever hear a woman say she won't date a guy because he's overweight, and I see normal weight women with overweight and even obese men all the time. What a dichotomy.

Here's a question: what if she has nothing other than a personality that really complements your own. What if she is the perfect match for you with her interests, talents and abilities, but doesn't have a lot of money and is overweight? What if she makes you feel unlike anyone you've ever met. What if you've never met anyone like her?

What if you walk away from that?

Answer: You post on CD a year or two later and complain that you can't find the perfect match for you.

I play it case by case. She makes herself more attractive by being "sweet".

I always love it when some gal lacks looks, and couldn't be nice to you if she tried.

Gets POed at other women who steal men away from her....


Really? Are you that daft?

Figure it out.

You're a big girl.

It is pathetic when you judge a persons worth by their weight. Until you figure that out, don't date.

Absolutely not, the size has little to do with what's going on upstairs.

I'm baffled and simply cannot figure it out.

You should start Woman 101 courses Rae.....

You'd make a s***load of money.

That is if they didn't quit on you first.

I'll bring the brass bell for 'em to ring when they "jack it in".
