So, I have been trying like crazy to meet a one special someone (woman) - but I have very few venues to attain my goal through. The substitution method is to use a "dating website" - which I have. Now, don't get me wrong, plenty of women are interested in reading my profile, but somewhere along the way the fact that I am "overweight" stops them cold.
I know, I know - physical attraction. I know, I know - they don't want to lose the guy they love to some medical issues. I know, I know - they feel that they are more valuable then that. (Or that fat means I'm lazy, or don't care about myself, or etc, etc, etc.)
Really? You got any or all of those things from the fact that I am overweight? Shame on your narrow-minded, shallow, superficial self if that is the case.
So - beyond the usual rant about that is the more deeply infuriating rant about the fact that MANY, MANY fat women think that they shouldn't even consider a fat man. Double-standard? Self-discrimination? I call both.
Still - I would most definitely enjoy knowing a person for who they are, and take the time to consider if what their body is shaped like is such a barrier to joy - but with the ignorance and sickening weight standards that are being thrown around - likelihood is minimum.
