      Ok, let me amend my position: body mass is not a universal deal breaker. There are people who will reject someone on appearance or weight, but there are many people who would find that same person attractive.

        i don’t believe that, but like i can’t force someone to change what their preferences are, i don’t want to change who i am. its just easier to give up

          Mentally going through all the couples I know and half of them involve overweight men. Absurd to live in North America and think you can’t date if overweight, 1/3 of our continent is overweight and the majority of that is men. Over 2/3 of Canadians are in common law relationships or married at the age of 35-44. To be this deluded you have to believe basically 100% of single people are overweight, which is not true. But seeing what you type I’m guessing weight has nothing to do with it, people don’t like people with defeatist, lazy, downer personalities way more than they dislike overweight people.

          App dating isn’t the only way forward, you actually have to have a life and put yourself out there. All my relationships were when I wasn’t really looking but still kept my circle of friends wide, and I’m not an extrovert.

          Easier maybe, but less likely to have the best outcomes. I’m sorry dating has been bad for you, and the apps are absolutely predatory, but there’s always hope
