Personally, I find myself slightly chubby and about a negative 10 on the beauty scale. Surprisingly, though, I never had a problem finding a date.

Now, my husband and I disagree on my placement on the beauty scale, but he did say that the way I carry myself adds "a measure of beauty that cannot be quantified." I congratulated him on learning such a big word, then he hit me with a pillow.
There is a difference between being thin and being toned.

I go to the gym to workout not to pickup chicks. You won't have a problem because you are a woman. There are men out there who don't have high standards and will settle for less.

However, many "men" don't see the difference.

But if the people there are a part of the "crowd" you wish to date, then it almost seems obvious to become friends with some of the clientele.

So because a guy is willing to date somebody who may be lacking in the looks department, he is somehow settling for less? If that is how you view women, then I feel sorry for you. That statement alone speaks worlds about your view on relationships.

You know what's nice? Knowing that my husband doesn't think of me as just a "hot piece of booty". It's such a comforting notion to know that he's not going to skip out once my physical beauty fades.

I actually do have rather high standards.

And RIta met all of them, and more.

So, nice try at an assumption that I "settled for less".

There's not a single woman on this planet that I'd rather marry.

Infraction me if you must, but .... the OP's responses throughout this ENTIRE thread show his attitude towards women. The guy just does not respect women ... period. If he can't show some modicum of respect - even faked - he is not going to get laid. That is the bottom line.

One would think so wouldn't one. But if one did, one would be quite wrong. Women come in all sizes and shapes pyschologically and there are probably as many attractive women who thrive on mistreatment as there are those who insist on respect. That's why domestic violence is the number one crime of violence by a very wide margin.

I think that the problem stems from puberty when uncertain but attractive young women get disproportionate attention because of their emerging sexuality and attractiveness to older males. This creates a disconnect between how they feel about themselves and how they are treated by boys and men. The solution to this is to invite mistreatment and disrespect so that their feelings and the reality of their treatment are in harmony. Unhappy harmony, but harmony nonetheless.

Are you saying I'm wrong? Have you read this guy's posts? Have you seen his written, online interaction with the females on this board? Don't tell me you've turned a blind eye to that!

Any comments on this?
Well it could be a self-esteem issue. One who feels special doesn't want to hang around with just anyone. On the other hand, someone who feels they can't be choosy will possibly be more open to meeting new people.

I know what you mean as I've seen some good looking guys who tend to be more introverted and just hang around their friends in the bars then the less attractive ones who seem to be going up to every female and asking for their phone number.

LOL! This too can go both ways!

Oh, you're totally right about him. I was one of the first persons to have posted that.

But you are wrong about him getting laid. If he has nice looks and is not too depraved, there are women, lots of them, who will thrive on his attitude. Maybe even some here.

The people who don't see the difference are the ones who don't what a tone and just a skinny body is. Although there lots of men who aren't picky either.

I live in one of the fattest cities in the USA so the crowd is small for the 'fit'.

Well if he doesn't have the looks the why should he deserve a good looking woman also?

We all know what kind of looks are physical attractions and its not the chubby/fat folks, thats just reality.

I don't think of women as a hot piece of body either when it comes down to a relationship but if we are talking short-term then its different.
