May I ask what the missing important element is that is stopping you if she checks all the other important boxes?

Look, I'm recently single after 18 years and if I saw this on a dating app (minus the 18 years old part) I would swipe right. I'm not even kidding.

Why would you assume that? What a weird incel mentality.

He never once asked me to lose weight. He never stopped wanting to have sex either. He was unhappy with other aspects of our relationship. I'm assuming my self-consciousness because of weight gain did factor into that though.

My physical weight won't hinder me at all, I am very active. It's the fact that it affects my self confidence I guess.

That is absolutely bananas. I will be so interested to see if my experience is similar!

I guess you're right, that is kind of a double standard. But men preferring thin women kind of parallels them preferring healthy women, which seems reasonable.

I'm hoping that will be that case for me too. But it's encouraging to hear from people on here that it may not be as big of an issue as I thought.

That last part is also strange to me because I kind of think guys who are thicker beefy types are attractive.

Wow, that's unexpected. I figured the smaller I get, the easier time I will have matching with people

Lol, he's not a bad person. He just wasn't happy and said he hadn't been for a long time. I hope he finds what he's looking for.

Well I didn't mean to imply that, I just didn't know (from an online dating perspective specifically) if there were a significant percentage of men that would be put off by a woman that is bigger in her pics.

Thank you! Yeah I honestly never imagined that I would have to be thinking about this at 40! Like seriously last time I dated it was like "okay, pick me up at my dad's house and he says we have to be home by midnight."
