Blame it on evolution. Men are wired to find beautiful, fertile appearing women sexually attractive.

I suppose its the same reason why many women over look a guy who is overweight, a low income earner or doesnt respond as expected. They both feel they can do better and they dont find them attractive.
Many see past what others see, so what offensive to one may not be to another. The fact is, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Everyone wants someone who is "beautiful", but we all have different interpretations of what "beautiful" means.

To assume that all women want a guy who is rich, or all men want a barbie doll is simply incorrect. Most of my friends are very open minded and have found partners who they find beautiful... but none of them are fashion models or millionaire CEOs. They're just good people, and there are, surprisingly, a lot of those in the world. :)

I like this post. Good post.

OP: In the real world, like attracts like. Studies have shown that people are attracted to and pair up with those who are similar in intellect, looks, and other areas. Most of the time, plain guys do not end up with gorgeous women, most of the time and in the real world, not in some peoples' imaginations.

In the on-line world, my impression is that an awful lot of ordinary looking guys hit on the most attractive women, then these guys get all pizzed off because most women they contact don't respond. Go figure.

My best suggestion is to look for your man in the real world---they are not all looking for or expecting perfect size 8's. They are looking for real women.

i have a question for the REAL MEN.


Oh I get it now.... your one that attempts to challange someones manhood to find the easily manipulated ones.

By calling them the REAL MEN that you were asking was like what happened to me at a party one time.

I was at a party trying to be social and I had a woman come up to me and start talking. She was not exactly my type. She looked kinda like a cross between a pug and a bull dog.

Had me laughing my ass off because after ending the conversation and walking away several times she just kept following me around the party and finally decided to tell me that I wasn't man enough to handle a woman like her. Lucky for me I had not drank that much because I was able to just respond that she was likely correct and that she should look elsewhere for someone that would be man enough.

Scarry part is eventually her tactic worked on some poor fella. I overheard her say the same statement to some other guy while bobbing her head back and forth telling that poor guy that had drank a bit too much that he was not man enough to handle her like a challange to his manhood. he actully started arguing with her telling her that he is manly which she replied proove it.

LMAO they disapeered for about 15 minutes and I felt sorry for that guy. Her tactic worked for her though.

So I am thinking thats a similar tactic to what the op was trying to do.

Why do so many hefty girls blame their lack of having a partner, or getting responses on this site, on their size?!?!?!?

I'm a big girl. I get more dates, and better quality, than my very petite 99lb sister. My slim friends also have issues dating and in romance -- much similar to my own. A lot of my fat friends are happily married. Seriously, I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with our weight....

It's much easier to blame the fat than it is to blame it on your flawed, and obviously entitled, personality.

Why not? If women can get away with only wanting men that give them that "umph" why can't we have the women that give us that as well? I mean this is exactly what I was talking about in the other post. People putting labels on others because they cannot have what they want. Calling out "REAL MEN" come on. So I'm less of a man because I don't want to date someone that I find unattractive? I don't think so.

Best of luck to everyone

Well I can't speak for all men but I will say this and that is I don't look for the so call Prima Donna's Barbie Doll types as you call them. Those are the ones that for the most part are to stuck up on their selves and and may even step out on you.

Women do the same, flick through the profiles and only choose the guys they're attracted to. I do it before checking the guy out further. So don't shoot our counterparts down because we are as guilty.

Our first impression to another is "visual"...it is what attracts us to them (aka lust), then we look further but for most women the personality is what keeps our interest and for most men LOL they are stuck in the visual part LOL

If you don't fall under the "prima donna" barbie type, don't worry about it. People like what they like, it is called having a preference. It is about attitude, mindset, and how you groom yourself. Women actually take that "culture" to the extreme where they sleep sitting up because they don't want to mess with the 'do.

Don't make it the thorn in your side because you do not fall under this category. Walk away or do something about it.

If the outside of the package isnt attractive, no one will open it to see what is inside.

At least you're honest.

I can't speak for all men, but for me, looks are a baseline requirement.
Character is the determining factor.
I'm not about to lower my standards for either looks, or character. But if I had to chose one, I'd lower the bar on looks far more than I would on character.

op,
people want it "all." most guys want looks plus the rest, but if they have to settle for looks vs. the rest, they tend to go for the looks. yeah, it'll fade, but they're not realistically looking that far ahead....kind of a benign (or malignant) denial. come to think of it, i think some of the older guys figure if a woman is 20 yrs younger, she'll never look old to them. i think that might be partially true, but i think some of these guys will find themselves looking at 30 yrs younger down the road. in any event, if people stay together for 50 yrs, it's not going to make one iota of difference what either started out looking like...they'll both be so old that their looks are way gone. basically, it's that initial attraction thing...and that basic biology to propagate the species...

Yeah. I wouldn't want to date someone good looking.


Heaven forbid.



Of course, good looking to me, may not be good looking to someone else.

Grandmabooboo Post 176 100% agree with you!

I am sick to death of women with a few pounds on Judging ME! I've actually had 2 'big' women (who I did Not know) tell me they "hate" me because I'm "so skinny"!!! holibatcrap! unfrigginreal.

I have NEvER attacked a person who was overweight, but I have been offended plenty of times by a few who seem to think that I put that bubble on their butt! Nasty.

I wear glasses - you don't hear those of us with corrective lenses using THAT as an excuse for our dull dating lives .. do you?

.. CONFIDENCE is Attractive (regardless of your size) = Whining is Not attractive. If you take a look at who is in a relationship and who isn't - yu will see that there is Very Little (if any) correlation with size. OP - IF you want a date - Change your attitude.

Ya know.. I have all my hair

All my teeth

All my digits.. I mean I can count to 21

Why oh why cant Lihanna's 99 lb sister contact ME on this site. Sheesh.. What's a guy like me gonna do? Get rid of my contact-lense-induced crows feet?

Have a whole body cold-laser peel to get rid of 50+ years of sun damage?

Get a Peni-reduction cause that ONE size ZERO girl kept saying OUCH?

Take the trust OUT of my kids names and leave the beneficiary BLANK until we meet?

What should I do?

Edit: Grandmabooboo.. I just read in Cosmo that size8ass IS the first selling point for Jenny Craig. Plus.. once a woman's butt goes that large.. she starts with the "SASSY" attitude. Men dont find "Sassy" or Brat or Princess to be an attractive self-designation for a woman.

Edit2: ALL you skinny normal-sized women.. AFTER YOU EMAIL ME, need to unite and help us guys fight back.. ESPECIALLY the ones that are now getting these F.A.L. members diatribes even at THEM.. girls.. I can understand them beating up on the fellahs.. but to attack their skinnyass sisters too? That aint right!

Grandmabooboo Post 176 100% agree with you!
Thanks BakedSushi!

I must be totally honest however and admit that: I LEARNED what attracts men's attention....from....a FAT girl! (over 35 years ago) Years ago, I had a girlfriend who was...ok, and I can't say she was just " a little overweight" because she was a LOT overweight..she was downright FAT....but men just swarmed to her! I was all of 24 yrs old, 115 lbs...and cute. LOL! Sorry, I'm not trying to sound conceited...but hey...Granny was a pretty danged hot chick 30 years ago! I could not for the life of me figure out....what the hell she HAD....that I did NOT! Soooo, I OBSERVED.

What I saw was a woman who smiled, laughed, talked easily to men, was open, friendly, secure, sexy, self-confident.....she was EVERYTHING that I was NOT....except, petite and cute. I learned before age 25 what seemingly few women ever learn; that men ARE attracted to a woman's personality every bit as much as they are her looks. Men may LOOK at a pretty woman, and think..."wow, she's pretty"....but that doesn't mean they want to date her! The fact is, that men tend to AVOID such "pretty girls" because they too have bought into the stereotype that thin, pretty women are stuck on themselves, and high maintenance. LOL! like the woman said....from the song: "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife". I mean, sure...it's cute as hell; and certainly an ego boost for heavier women; but it doesn't define ALL women from EITHER category (heavy or thin).

The OP needs to take some lessons from women like "LhiannanShee"
I'm a big girl. I get more dates, and better quality, than my very petite 99lb sister. My slim friends also have issues dating and in romance -- much similar to my own. A lot of my fat friends are happily married. Seriously, I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with our weight....

It's much easier to blame the fat than it is to blame it on your flawed, and obviously entitled, personality.

These "bigger girls" have a GREAT attitude about themselves. They're not whiny or unhappy with how they look, nor are they insulting men by calling them "fakes" or not "real men" just because they (the men) aren't attracted to insecure, complaining females. They are the women who are much MORE likely to attract men than EITHER thin or heavy women who have such a bad attitude!

Women do the same thing. Good looking guys have much more opportunity than regular joes, just like women. Way it is, way it has been, way it will always be.

If you are good looking, 8 or better on the looks scale 90% of the other gender will find you attractive. If you're a 6, a lesser # will find you attractive. Doesn't always matter how much money you have, career you have, home you have, how sweet and real you are. If you are average, it's harder.

And woman don't?

PEOPLE will base many things on looks. It's called being attracted to someone. We all want to be attracted to and be found attractive by attractive people.

I'm almost positive you've declined someone beased on looks. Unless of course you're forgotten.

Who wants to be with someone they don't find attractive?

why only date good looking prima donna's?

1- There's little actual correlation between good looks and "Prima Donna" egocentrics.
2- Fugly people can be ugly on the "inside" too.
3- Some can afford to wait until they find someone whose outer beauty is equal to their inner beauty.

i have a question for the REAL MEN. why do men only tend to go for dating the "good looking prima donna barbie doll type?" it seems that guys tend to look a picture and base their whole wanting or not wanting to be someone based on physical apperance. a girl could have a beautiful face, great personality, had have her head on straight, but if she has a litl bit bigger ass than a size 8 you guys run and dart and lable her as the perfect "sister or bestfriend" so why date something that will fade in time and not date something that will always be there....that is the beauty inside a person.........help me out with this one

This would then rationalize that only "real men" are with the good looking prima donna barbie doll types. Take a look around you. All kinds of people are in relationships with average looking people and, yup, even below average looking people. Horror of horrors, I've even seen all kinds of "real men" in relationships with women who are even below average in the looks department. The above quote is nothing more than a parallel of the nice guy who can't get anybody drivel. Your personality needs work...nothing more, nothing less. The mear fact a person whines that their problems are due to external forces makes them, well...just that...a whiner. That's got nothing to do with looks but is a personality trait that likely filters into more areas of their life than anything having to do with their looks. I can hear it, "I can't this [fill in the blank] because of that [fill in the blank]"...the whole personality is about why they can't instead of about why they can. In other words, negativity - and that truly is the most unattractive quality, not physical appearance.
