Well retrogamer said even the fat girls want more. I guess that means they want like a funny good guy who has a job of some kind? I'm not sure what he meant by it.



Well, don't be offended at the Alliekit, but to be honest, I notice that overweight women are less picky in the looks department- this is very noticeable on dating sites. They tend don't seem mind my height or me being smaller than them.
And the fitter the woman the picker becomes, especially looks wise, they may become extremely picky.
Most rude comments on my looks and body came from fit women.

For example, it's very noticeable in my experience that overweight women are by far more likely to message me first on dating sites, If I message an overweight woman (they often hide that in their pics), they reply....always.

Also if I swipe right an obese woman by mistake on tinder I almost always get matched with her (which means she accepted me too).

Umm...this is true only for Caucasians though, Asians reply me even the ones with good shapes (they're rarely fat anyway).


I am not suprised they are often judged for their weight so can empathise with what are truly attractive traits and understand looks fade (not all fat people but a lot)

Also I'm genuinely not offended I wasn't insinutting big girls are more picky just responding to retrogamer

Personally, I do like larger woman as long as they aren't too big (around 210 lbs is as large as I'm willing to go). I'm 5'11" and weigh about 165 lbs so I consider myself in reasonable shape. I probably could attract women of a 'healthy' weight as the OP puts it but I'm not too bothered about how much a woman weighs in terms of determining suitability as a partner. As long as she's fairly attractive and has an interesting personality, then that's good enough for me.

Geez I gotta move to Lebenon so I can get in contact with all the skinny Asian girls. Or maybe I should just move to China.

In Australia the majority of Asian girls only want to date Asian guys. I think it's because most Asians in Australia uni students. They come, they get their degree, they leave. It's probably different in Lebanon. I'm guessing the Asians there are workers, not students. They probably came to Lebanon because they were trying to escape poverty. The Asians who come to Australia are Chinese middle class who are trying to appease their parents after they failed the Chinese university entrance exam.

Whatever it is they want, they must want more than a job because I already have a job :?

Might have missed this but how do you guys define 'fat'?
IMHO BMI > 35 is enough to be offputting.

25 < BMI < 35 is a little chubby but not enough to make them unnattractive IMO.

I don't think that a fat person is less likely to be rude, vindictive, a cheater, a golddigger, insensitive etc. How can you see any of these if you use online dating?

Personally, I don't see those really young women as relationship material because I know they are going to change in few years as their minds mature. But, my house was put on the market because the young girl who lived in it decided to get married instead of going to college. The parents thought that was a great idea, and decided to buy a bigger house with the money that had been saved for college.

There are advantages to women marrying older. Old age, wealth, and power is a simple test for genetic superiority.
Some inherited diseases and disorders don't show up until your 30s, after normal childbearing age. By not showing up early, they are more likely to be passed onto future generations.

Older guys typically have more wealth and experience. Young couples often struggle with financial issues such as student loans. May not be an issue for an older guy who has already saved enough for retirement and paid off his home.

A lot of younger guys just aren't ready for a commitment when they are in their early 20s. Women are all set to have kids but the men aren't so sure at that age.

I didn't suggest that I meant that there are worse things to be than fat. It's actually not that hard to tell on online dating if someone has personality trait's you don't like, for example arrogance can be pretty easy to spot (ie torso pictures).

Agreed.
I find most males on the spectrum also to be quite arrogant tbh :roll:

As for the BMI, mine is 20.2 and I'm considered a fatty :heart: Which was also the case when my BMI was 14.8 (underweight/anorexia).

I guess a dating app for males on the spectrum would be full of measurements? :lol: I do hope that would include the size of their intimate parts :lol:

You hit it right on the head, here. I think a lot of aspie men suffer from "Internet Male Syndrome"; that is, unrealistic standards molded by years of porn consumption. As if a beautiful woman is a priceless work of art to be scrutinized, rather than a human being with thoughts and feelings.

Stop the stupid theories on us, seriously - I am reporting this and putting stop to this misandry here.
A non-overweight woman =/= a pornstar.

So either one extreme or the other?
So if a man doesn't find obesity attractive then he must be after women who look like pornstars only - logic. :roll:

175 pounds is not overweight or "unhealthy."

And stating that some men have BS standards is not misandry, it's something that needs to be said in threads like these.
