Very nice seeing this post! I imagine there are plenty of people out there who, like me don't let what kind of shape the other person is in bother them. After my 2nd divorce, I was talking to a lady not far from where I lived. I told her I was 44 and was 5'7" and weighed 270. She came back with I was too heavy for her. She had told me she weighed 155. Didn't bother me. When she told me I wasn't in her weight range, I told her that it was her loss. My present wife, who I met a couple weeks later, totally agrees with me.
I don’t get it...of course it didn’t bother you that she was 155lbs, you were probably within inches in height, but you weighed over 100lbs more.
Ha! Yeah I don’t really care all that much, just pointing out what I think is one person’s double standard. In overdrive. @ “yes, I’m willing to accept a relatively average sized woman, but she rejected an obese man. My wife agrees.”
Ok.

Why would 155 bother you? It's a normal, healthy weight for many women your height and taller, depending on bone structure.

You know how this thread was beating a dead horse for a while regarding menopause and weight gain. Well 18 of the last 26 comments, #s 243 thru 268, have been directed at a poster who hasn't returned. I think it's pretty clear that several women don't want to be his caretaker and they resent his characterization of his weight (270 at 5-7) being somehow comparable to a woman being 155 at any height. Point taken. Repeatedly.
The very last one where he expressed how dating in your LATE 40s and 50s can be diffucult as there is not a divide between the 2 where people just choose to let themselves go vs. those who decided that they NEED to stay fit and eat healthy.
There is also a problem for those late 40s' - 50s (of both sexes) that have taken care of themselves and look good. And that problem is they expect someone who, likewise, has taken care of themselves and look good, but we all know that once you hit late 40's those folks become rare.
Most people are content to just let themselves go. That is if you're looking at the same age range. So that's another thing you have going against you because it looks like you're in good shape and maintained your looks
Late 40s are pretty much the turning point where your metabolism starts to slow and you can no longer eat sugary sweets and such and still burn them off while barely walking like you did in your 20s or 30s.
Some haven gifted with the YOUTH gene where you look young for a 50 year old, whereas everyone else, looks their age (50).
So I was wondering for those of you out there that had reached that age that decided to keep maintaining your health, how many of you finding it hard to find a healthy partner about that age? I hear that healthy women in their 50s tend to complain about all they keep meeting is men that have beer guts that are the size of a 9 mos pregnant woman. Some of these men are pretty much inactive, too.
It doesn’t matter tho...if you are dating, married or in a committed relationship......being fit & maintaining a good weight is important for your overall health.....& for keeping relationships as much as finding them........
