Is this your way of calling me an old geezer again? BTW, I'm 33. Hardly geezer material!

I sometimes like to think I am younger than I am so by putting some distance between me and you I feel better. Today is my birthday so I am especially in need of feeling younger!

Another classic!

Or thundercats! I went overseas once and saw thundercats dubbed in the local language. For me the show turned into a comedy once dubbed!

NYC is a great place for women from housing, to dating and career purposes, and not so for average men unless if you have some sort of skill or sociability. From my observation women here can always get a man and the things that I have seen here you would not see in picket white fenced America when it comes to dating. I have seen women in life long crutches dating guys, getting pregnant, a woman in a wheelchair that my friends like but she rejected him and goes out with a man that only uses her for an fwb but she assumes their might be a potential relationship and she cried because she was used for sex. I have known and seen women 300 pounds become mothers and are in relationships which they set the tone. Visited the courthouse in my area and witnessed plenty of overweight women with men smaller than them picking up marriage licenses. For a job interview at family court, I witnessed overweight women filing child support subpoenas. Went out on a speed dating event, large women were going for men slim or smaller than them and guess what they get the guys. All I can say is this if your a fat American woman and your struggling to find a date in cali or in Florida or Denver, move to the Northeast. Places like NYC, Boston, Philly and DC will open plenty of relationship doors. I have guys friends who are big who struggled in NYC once they visit places like Cali and Florida they decided to move because meeting women there is more easier. Also only Manhattan is the only place with really good looking women, visit more local areas and you will say yuck, but its those very yucky women that get a lot of men, and I had my share of yucky women. I have friends and including myself say what am I doing wrong, its not about money or personality, it all boils down to looks and swag. Maybe you were in a Transient neighborhood hooplaman!

It sucks when you really hit it off with someone in so many of the important ways, but then be "rejected" before you even get to meet.

I know SO and I would have bypassed each other if we were both doing OLD, so I'm grateful we got to meet in person instead of just being shown pictures of each other by our mutual friend and making a decision based on a two-dimensional photo. We're both just regular people, nothing about either of us, in a photo, would make us say "OMG, I HAVE TO MEET HIM/HER", yet meeting in person and getting to know each other became an OMG moment.

You're right. While this may not take the sting away for the OP, he revealed himself to be shallow. If he would have allowed himself a little more depth, he would have found out the OP is looking to drop some of the weight, and they could have made it a date thing... hiking, gym partners, etc. It obviously wouldn't have hurt him to get a little more active.

Honestly, as a person who is extremely unphotogenic, you could randomly select a pic and I would never have been asked on any dates.

I would also add if he judged her off a picture it was a bit premature. I stand by my earlier comments that you can't force attraction, but that was before I realized he had passed on her without meeting her in person and made his decision based off a FB picture.

I don't think I'm a very photogenic person. Just about every picture of myself I see I ask, "do I really look that bad in real life?" Then I go to the mirror and a lot of times the answer is "no." I'm sure OP can relate.

This, exactly. Especially the un-photogenic part.

I certainly hope to find a partner who also enjoys yoga, long walks, bike rides, etc.
