Does size matter?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last week, Bella wrote that qualities such as “laziness, lack of leadership, lack of discipline, lack of energy or effort” were the qualities she associated with people who don’t work. I think these are also qualities that are associated with people who are overweight and obese. Many people who struggle with their weight, also find it challenging to get a date.
My friend Andrea turned a chubby guy down because she didn’t think he was healthy. She said that if she met a larger guy who was healthy, she would be willing to date him, but she referenced lazy as one of her concerns.
Have you ever had problems finding a date because of your weight? How did you handle it?
Do you think single people should lose weight in order to land a mate? How can you navigate dating while you are trying to lose weight?
Ladies, would you date a guy who was chubby or overweight? If that was the only thing about him that bothered you, would you be willing to overlook the weight?
Man are such visual creatures so the “don’t date fat chicks” rule is pretty much in their heads while they are still in the sandbox. Does this mentality change as guys get older?
What happens when you date someone and they gain weight after you have been in a long term relationship? Would you dump them?
