I think I'm too fat to date........
| Sun, 03-20-2005 - 7:55am |
Seriously. I don't want to put up a profile because of it. I don't want the scathing emails telling me what I already know. I've been going to the gym and watching what I eat but it's gonna be about 6 months before I'm not fat anymore.
Does anyone else feel this way? Or am I being too hard on myself? Thanks in advance for your input.

No - but not because of your body. I'm not a match for Bikers, smokers or Bar Goers and I skip them with the same fervor that I avoid a Porta Potty at the State Fair in the middle of August. You might be surprised at how accepting people are. I'm more interested in a match that's on the ball. I'm not interested in someone who is obese (and if I was into that I'd hang out at Mohegan Sun - the morbidly obese, chain smoker's paradise - and not on Match.com) but have clicked by people who list "a few extra pounds" more because their photo doesn't answer my question of "what do you mean by a few extra".
I still say the hottest photo that I've seen is of someone who was clearly a few extra pounds - but she had a standard set of clear and recent photos. I'm still waiting for her to pop her head back online if she didn't get paired off the first time..
I would love to see her profile. Is it still up?
The Mohegan Sun reference is so funny and so true. Aren't all casinos like that?
Hmmm...I'm a size 18. I've been doing OLD on and off for about six years now and have NEVER received a "scathing" email about my weight, and while I'm sure I have not gotten as many dates as I might have otherwise due to my weight, I've met plenty of men who did not have an issue with my size.
It's much more about your confidence and attitude than your actual weight. If you don't feel confident as you currently are, you might want to wait until you lose some weight, because OLD takes a LOT of confidence!

Sometimes, too, it's about being in the right place at the right time.
