I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings but I think that a lot of girls these days have a "princess" mentality.
They "deserve" Prince Charming. They deserve a $5000 engagement ring and a $50,000 wedding.
Like those ads on TV.
You should have a $100 bottle of skin cream because "you are worth it".
But if a woman "deserves" a tall, dark, handsome and rich Alpha male then what do you put on the table?
Are you beautiful?
Are you rich?
Are you a virgin?
Are you smart?
Will you be loyal to him and be a good mother to his children?
I think you're missing the point. All people have said on this thread is that they deserve better than a guy who will consider their self worth solely in terms of their weight (disregarding all other attributes). This is a COMPLETELY reasonable expectation.
Everyone who isn't anorexic or has a super rare "supermodel" natural body type is overweight these days according to the media. It's disgusting. And the distorted focus on looks is completely gender biased. I was commenting to my mum the other day that in every drama show you see on TV there are a range of lead male characters of different appearance, weight, height, body type, and attractiveness, but <b>every single</b> female character has the exact same body type; the figure of a model - tall and unrealistically slim for their age group. What sort of message is that sending out to society? That it's ok for men to just be themselves and be judged on attributes they have control over - like achievements, attitude towards life, work ethic, but if you're a woman it's look like a model or gtfo.
