Most of us would not say such rude remarks to another individual in person. So there's no reason why one should do so online either. Same manners count.

I think what it boils down to is a lack of good manners on the person's part, if you haven't got something nice to say about a person, then don't say it! Besides as the old saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Not all people go according to how a person looks or whether they are overweight or not but for who and what they are as a human being. It's like my Dad used to say, "some people let their mouth run ahead of their brains" and he was right about that, only in this case it's fingers and not mouth, that is running ahead of their brains, right?

People should really stop and think before saying what they say, whether or not it is verbally or typing up an email to send to someone and ask themselves, how would they like it, if someone said that about them but they don't because they really don't care and have no conscience or they wouldn't do it? It is best to just try and ignore them because they really aren't worth the bother, there are far better people in this world, just remember that! Don't let it get to you, either, it isn't worth it!

I agree sweetie52

I think its what inside that matters. I have spoken to woman of all shapes, heights, and culture. In the long run a womans mind and pation is what captivates a man. If it does then the guy is a shallow soul

Mnd you this goes out for men and woman alike. But I think people must remember to be polite and also in return if rejected

I have come to the conclusion that 90% of men can NOT get past the weight. You can be pretty, highly intelligent, funny...the nicest person you ever want to meet but, if you aren't a size 10 or under, you aren't worth the time of day. I have kept the faith for a very long long time that there is a man out there that will look past the extra pounds and see me for the beautiful woman I am...both on the inside and the outside. I know there are a few good men out there that would, I just don't seem to find them or attract them. I find soooooooo many men on here that I am compatible with on so many levels. I've tried emailing them but to no avail. I bet if I were 3 sizes smaller, they would be very interested.

Weight CAN be lost, and I constantly work on it. Ugliness (inside and out) can't.

That's just my rant today. I've taken some advice and have made the first move for a change. Nothing but rejection. I guess I'll go back to not bothering anymore. Rejection is really hard on one's self confidence!

"I have come to the conclusion that 90% of men can NOT get past the weight."

Do you have proof it's 90%?

I could just as easily turn this around and say many women cannot NOT get past a guy who is....

~unemployed
~average looking
~not hung like a horse
~doesn't travel all the time
~does not have a six pack of abs
~does not make more then 50k /year
~has kids
~does not have a 2000 square home or bigger
~is not of a certain race
~is not bald or has long hair
~has facial hair , does'nt have facial hair

etc...etc...etc...

From my experience on here, women are much more shallow and materialistic then ever! If your over weight and not getting any dates then stop whining about it and do something about it. In the long run do it for you and your health, you'll feel better and have more energy and do activities you thought you never could do before. Compared what most women want in my list....losing weight is easy!

Of course they would because they don't want ppl to stop ordering there drugs making them lose a profit.

But because I'm such a nice guy I looked up this for you.

Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About is a book written by Kevin Trudeau promoting a variety of non-drug and non-surgical cures for many diseases. Trudeau accuses pharmaceutical companies and the United States government of censoring these products and methods on the basis that it would cut into their profit-margin.

You can always turn your life around if you make an effort and do some research.

You missed the part above in my post where it says I'm working on it..didn't you Swampy?..lol

When someone quotes a percentage, as I did, it's not based on scientific fact. It's based on life experience of that one individual. I probably should have said "in my experience, the majority of men......." . As I made clear, I know there are men that see women for who they are on the inside. My best friend's soon to be husband (whom she met on here) is that kind of man. Wish I could clone him!...lol

Yes I do know and understand there are plenty of women on here that are shallow too. Like I said, it was MY rant for the day, which opened it up for your rant. Feel better? I do...now I can move on! Can you?

And a damn shame it is to be absolutely perfect and have someone not be interested in you because of your weight.
It couldn't be anything else now could it?
I think women don't talk to me because of the colour of my car... ya that's it, couldn't be anything else, that's a nice easy " out".

Like it or not, looks are step one.

Prime example: Mailed a brief, nice letter to a lady on here.
Her reply" have you got a pic?"
That's it.
The only thing she wanted to know about me was what I look like. Nevermind any sort of humour, conversation, friendship or anything else I may have been able to provide her to maybe make her day a little more fun or interesting.
No wonder internet dating makes people so angry and jaded and cynical.

No matter what "words" a person used in their profile to describe how wonderful and sweet and sincere they are, how compassionate and non-judgemental. The truth soon rears it's ugly head.

@Sweet Euphoria

I did read all of your "rant" :) I just felt like adding a bit of mine and yet I still log on here for the abuse. lol It's all good.

@Cheap thrills4u

Looks ARE everything. I blame the media for this, it feeds unrealistic ideas into people.
