Hey ladies, I'm a nice guy who is honest and romantic. Why won't women look on the inside of a person. I'm sure a lot of you good looking women out Big or Small and/or Short and tall. You Could find true love with a short overweight person like me, who would treat you right and with respect. Well I find when you ladies get treated like this you run the opposite way. Why?

You're just not finding the right ones yet.

You will.

I never dated a whole lot, and only had 3 serious boyfriends. but out the the 4 guys I dated, one was short and over weight, one was seriously overweight, and the other two, well put on a lot of weight after meeting me :)

I personally like weight on my men... gives me something to cuddle up to!
And I know from talking to lots of people that I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Just feel good about yourself, when the right one comes along, she will admire your confidence, and your heart and enjoy you for who you are.

Dont ya know? Haven't you heard?
Most (a generalization, k?) people in society and who follow societal dictation, think of fat/overweight/plump/robust/big/husky/rotound/husky/large/weighted surplus type people taboo. Almost to the point of outcasts. Its the "in" thing to do.

But for those people who are actually smart enough to form their own opinions and such, those people do not give a flying fig as to ones weight or otherwise appearance. They are out there big guy, trust me. I found a few of em over the last few years.

Also, on a side note, some people aren't used to actually being treated with respect and dignity. Most of the guys some particular women come across do the nice things until an intimate moment, then the guys turn stone cold on 'em.
Yep, in a way, we are paying for their lousy actions!

Laws of attraction. Law #1 = physical attraction. I think you answered your own question here. I'm not saying it's impossible for someone who doesn't fit the attraction "norm" to find love. You just might have to work a little harder.

Some fish like small worms
Some BIG worms
Some leaches
Some frogs
Some minnows
Some very scarey fish eat other fish
What ya fishin for? When fishing the bait is critical to catching a fish.
Get some pics, at least one current one and maybe some of anything of interest and then work on your profile. Don't assume anything.

What am i fishing for is a woman who wants to be treated like a queen, with kindness, and respect. Who is not affraid of being treated right and who won't run away from a nice guy who wants to get to know her, because the first time they go to bed together I want us to be making love to each other. Not one having sex and the other making love, because love and sex don't mix. I do believe there are times when sex is necessary in a relationship as well as making love. And a woman who will treat me the same.

Women are just as vein as men....both look to find the best "looking" type they can find. Blame it on society for our flaws...hard to be positive when you know it's the truth.

Thats not true for me. I like large teddy bear looking men.I am not attracted to a man unless he is large. I am overweight but even when I was thin I felt the same way. You're just not looking in the right place.

Ladies are right friend. I flirted with 300 pounds a year ago and some ladies were certainly able to get beyond my size. Now that I'm cruising below 200 pounds in the next week or two I'm getting hit on like I haven't in years. We all have our predjudices, welcome to humanity.

I think its because some women, despite what they claim, do go by looks first and in some cases formost. Men do the same thing. It all depends on the person, personally I am attracted to personalities formost but that is besides the point of your question LOL

Gas, Grass or Ass Nobody Rides for free...(-;

Want a Date? Call an Escort Service,they will teach you to be pleasing,if they like you it's free,if they don't like you it costs you about $75.00...(-;

On POF you may find hundreds of women in your area,and out of them you may find 4 or 5 that might even date you,but for the most part they are just schuffling through to see what's out there...*J*

On the other hand,in your area you will find hundreds of Escort services and this is where you will find the high end Gal's, they are a pleasure to date because they know how to date well
They are not playing any games and if you have questions then ask and you will get honest answers...(-;

They do require you to Take a Bath,Shave,Dress well and behave yourself...(-;

In truth most guy's really don't know how to date,a good escort will teach you all that you really need to know...*J*

I've been on POF for a very long time,I got some date's but for the most part they were Bottom Feeders,there are some very good women on POF,but you won't get a date with them because they don't date from POF,this place is a good sounding board at best...(-;

Good Luck...

Rocky444: Pearle is right. You aren't looking in the right places. Checking your voting history .. why are you not interested in big women? It must be for the same reasons, I assume.
I am a big woman but I am on a very successful weight loss program. So I'm not interested in an overweight man that can't keep up with me with all the activities we will share as I reach my goal.

aliveindg: way to go on your weight loss! I certainly can relate to your concerns, but I betcha you are giving off an glow of confidence now that you didn't have before. Bask in it, girl! You deserve it. Doin a lil happy dance for ya

Man I think it's in the personality. Don't be unconfident because of your weight, just make it your thang. Learn to accept yourself and be confident. That's what women like in a man. I mean I just walk around with confidence without giving a f*** if women reject me or not. Who cares. I ain't gonna meet them again. You know?

I mean if you are really concerned about the weight thing that can be fixed. If you don't have any long term goals, I'd turn to coke and you lose about 20 pounds in half a month. You just keep going with that in your system. Won't think bout food. I mean its bad for you but hell, you only live once.

Men do not want to date short, overweight romantic women either..for some reason tall people are attractive to the majority of the people in the world it seems.

You gotta want more than someone who JUST wants to be treated nicely.

You should be looking for someone with similar interests rather than someone who just wants to be loved. Cause heck everyone wants to be loved.

Plus when you enter a relationship with the just let me treat you nice atitude--- you're more likely to be treated like a doormat.


I want to meet someone who likes to work out because I like to be active and healthy myself.


Would you work out 20 mins everyday if you thought it would increase your chances?

Because I work hard to keep my weight to a relatively decent state. I think how someone takes care of their body says a huge amount of their level of self esteem and that they care about their health and want to be around for a long time. Generally, you don't find many overweight people who are as health conscious as I am. Thus, it's a lifestyle thing as well. I also find that overweight men aren't as active as what I would like... ( wink...)
