but there again i go for whats on the inside. i could find a guy 2 foot 3 bright yellow and i wouldnt give a crap id love him for who he is inside and out.

your body is only your shell, the true you is inside


Can I ask you a question? - would you still go for bigger [fat] men if you were slim and fit?
Of course women with a 'fuller figure' will date a fat bloke, but in my experience there preferences changes when they lose weight.

Good for you pinkpolo121 if you do think like that, but I dont believe it in the vast majority of people.
I know we all like different things, and not everybody thinks the same. But I can only talk from experience.

'Looks over personalty' is another well used subject on dating forums...I take what a lot of people post on this subject with a pinch of salt, who often reply with platitudes. Which is funny to me as experience of posting om dating forums/messageboards proves that wrong. Personality has to be coupled with a good picture. Its harder having a good personality if you cant put up a good picture, perhaps due to honesty. These sites are all about looks, and maybe are a reflection on real life. As I said, the vast majority of women changed towards me when I put my first picture up, which wasnt good.

Welcome mate Smile

you will find women on the dating site forums tend [in general], to be full of sympathy and platitudes. Which is nice at times.

But they still like the cheeky, lovable rogue, bad bwoys on the net, with a nice picture. Genuine pic doesn't seem important.
Probably more so on the net then real life.

Its what I've found anyways.

Hmm seems everyone likes fat blokes. But I dont really see that reflected in real life or indeed on the forums. The only men that stick around and are lusted after are the slim fit men. Purely from observing on the forums, I dont see a lot of lusting after fat blokes, and that's even by big women.
Probably my imagination.

Well if you are right and it seems rude to disbelieve all those who've had a say, you've been moaning about it for at least a year have you done anything about it?

Who are all the slim fit men on the forums that have stuck around for a long time btw?

Yes I think its your imagination.
Maybe the 'slim fit' men 'stick around' cuz they've not got lucky yet? *Just like the chubbier ones*.
I cant help but notice that the fellas on here who tend to post the most and have the confidence to play kiss-chase on here their photos dont really give you a clue as to whether they are tubby or xylophones. What makes you think the ones that are lusted after are all slim and fit?
As for real life, When was the last time you looked around you at the couples in the queue at Tesco?
Why are you so hung up on size?
You sure you're not navel gazing a tad too much?

I'd rather call it discussing rather the moaning. Wink

I have done something about it, I have lost loads of weight, but because of diabetes I have to do it slowly. As I said I know from personal experience because I have been both side of the fence. I know when I have been more successful with women. When I get my great physique back again, I'll still say the same.

Best not name names...but you can, who amongst the men that get chaced around the forums is fat?

Their persona's tend to come across to me as being slim...whether they are or not I dont know, as I've only met two men off here and they were indeed slim.
Maybe some of the persona's on here are not strictly reliable, I dont know.

Not really hung up on it, as I said, I'll say the same when I'm fit again. Just the way I see it.

I cant say too much as I'm trying to keep this general rather then personal

There are certainly lots of women who just look at the pics and made their decision there and then, but then there are plenty of men that do the same.

The on the site right now there are 155858 men and 63956 women. Since I've been checking there has always been more men than women. I am not a frequent visitor of other dating sites, but from what I have seen this is the trend.

So it could be that men of all shapes and sizes get less attention because there are just not enough women to go around! Women of all sizes feel less at a loss than men because they have more choice and more offers as they are in the minority.

Jeg, in relation to you saying you were treated differently once your pic was up - All I can say is that I, as a woman am ashamed for those that might have done that to you.

It doesn't come as much of a surprise that a lot of women on here say they like fat blokes. Its just lip service after all. Just like real life. When it comes to the crunch they more often than not shit out.

It sounds great on paper to say you like all shapes and sizes, but reality is a different story.

I don't think its necessarily size that's the issue here though (until you get to the state where you can't wash yourself and you can lose things under the folds of your man tits), its a confidence issue. Fat men aren't blessed with much confidence. I'm sorry, but its true. If you are 100% confident then you're either the exception to the rule or you're just not being honest with yourself.

Lack of confidence is a huge turn-off and women can pick up on it like sharks can smell blood in water. So while they're saying 'oh I really like a man with a bit of meat on him' they probably mean it, and they really do like you; they just don't find you attractive in a sexual way. You're nice, cuddly and probably remind them of their dad (yes, he went there) but they're highly unlikely to whisk you off your feet (well, not in Earth's gravity anyway).

I've been there. I lost a shitload of weight (though still carrying a little) and the difference is astounding. You're no longer seen as asexual or 'one of the girls'. When it comes being taken seriously as far women are concerned then shed a few pounds. All this talk of women liking big men is just that - talk.

Probably a lot of truth in that chooch.

The other site I go on [forums] is much busier then this one, with a lot of women between 40 and 60.

These women actively seek young fit men and say things like 'older men cant keep up with me.' On the other site there are a lot of young men that actively seek older women. These older women put up in the main flattering [maybe sexy] pictures of themselves, so the get a lot of attention from the young men on the net....maybe because of what you have highlighted.

But in real life and these women are fat and 50 [sorry but true], and in the main maybe not as attractive as they come over the net. I've met some of them and makes me laugh when I look at them and remember the things they say to me and other 50 year olds on the forums Very Happy They lose a lot of creditability.
Lets just say the young blokes dont chase them in the pubs But I get on okay with younger women in real life Wink I'm talking about under 40.

The net probably causes a lot of delusion.

Thanks chooch much appreciated. Its what has made me the bitter and twisted man towards womankind, you see on the net UT Twisted Evil Rolling Eyes UT UT UT UT UT UT

I must admit it did upset me at the time, and has affected my confidence a bit in real life, definitely on Internet forums. But that's for another thread

Some women on here went right down in my estimations Evil or Very Mad ....but some have since recovered a bit since then Laughing

Me? I always seem to go for guys who are happy in their skin. Size doesn't really matter particularly but I think that maybe if a guy is, or perhaps I should say feels, "fat" then the majority of the time that self-confidence doesn't shine out as much. I don't know *shrugs* it's a tough one to call because everyone is different. Plus there are a lot of shallow people out there who do go by looks when dating...I can't understand that myself, I'm definitely an eyes and personality kinda girl. Mostly as you need a damn good personality to put up with my brand of insanity Twisted Evil Laughing
