Obesity reflects poor health, habits, and self image.

Shortness reflects genetics in most cases, barring extreme deprivation in youth. It does have an effect on overally strength but in this enlightened (supposedly) society, one doesn't need to physically dominate another competitor.
If u compare height with with breasts it hits too close to home with some women so they use the obese thing..Or if you just say weight in general even that may hit too clsoe to home if theyre chunky broads so they use something theyre not apart of which is the obese community which is the dumbest comaprison ever..

What does a slightly shorter guy with a 6 pack or is a great athlete have in common with an obese women?

It seems every other thread here is "Would you ever date someone who (enter perceived flaw)" and most people, male and female, would not, even without knowing all the details or circumstances involved. The pickiest people are on internet boards.

Not much. The fat woman can lose weight. The guy will always be short. I don't have a problem with short men but a lot of women are not attracted to them, 6 pack or not.

I think it depends. Some men are happy avoiding women or have the attitude, "well if I get a woman, great. If not, that's fine too." Others go crazy ala Gary Sodoni.

Spock commented:, "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true." For some men, it's the same with women and I am starting to understand that.

After striking out a good part of my life, I devoted myself to the abilty to attract women and I have succeeded in some measure. At the moment I'm dating one girl, bootycalling another, and have two possibilities online to say nothing of an old friend who wants to hook me up with some female friends of hers. It's interesting but also distracting.

I think now that I know it's my choice whether to be single or not, celibate or not, I feel happier. That I can obtain something, in some ways, makes me happier than actually having it. Think of how many of us celebrate our freedom to go anywhere in the world yet few actually leaves the nation and many vacations are even anti-climatic. It's the same thing: just knowing that we CAN is more pleasureable to some than actually DOING it.

This is why women MUST go about their lives as if they will never meet Mr Right. I think someone also wrote a book called " Men Are Just Desserts". If you are all you can be, then you will still be pretty happy by yourself, and if a man you love comes along, that's great.
I've been married to "Mr. Checks All the Right Blocks" (smart, educated, good provider, top of his profession) but we grew to hate each other, so I wish I had been more particular about other things. Turns out, I stumbled upon a great man, when I wasn't trying, who is a good and considerate husband, but who will never be rich or powerful, but he's still got it all over the one who I thought had all the necessary qualities.

Early man used brute force to satisfy those needs, with the end that some men died out, unable to fulfill those needs. Women sustained themselves as best as they could, wanting that one strong man but often instead raped and left to manage as best she could. What reality gave them didn't change the wants.
Even though I personally categorize wants and needs as two separate beasts (mainly in regard to current-day affairs) I see your point and indeed I admire your logic. Well done!

It's like shopping for a new suit at the Salvation Army - yes they occasionally get a real gem, but those get snatched off the racks quickly, by those who are younger. And its worse for women than it is for men, much worse. You'd need to have lady luck on your side!
FUNNY-lol Shopping for a new suit at the Salvation Army.

A few guys in one of the short men thread said they aren't attracted to tall women like me. There's nothing I can do about that. Oh no! Maybe I should march in there, Amazon-style, and give them whatfor.

Meh, it's all just fun and games until you have to date someone with only one eye...
