Large Dating and Honesty
Let’s discuss large dating and honesty. When I first went online to start looking to meet my match, I was nervous. I was NOT a size 2, or a size 4, well, I wasn’t a 6, 8 or 10 either…you get the picture. I had full hips, boobs and curves. I had a tummy that never went away after having kids, and I was in my mid 30′s….
I didn’t have the slammin’ body of a 19 year old, and it made me nervous. There was even a site that asked me to fill out how much I weighed. No, you couldn’t skip the question— and the problem was, after about 150 pounds, it just went something like “OVER 180″ or whatever it was…I forget the exact number. Man, did I feel so uncomfortable. I knew lots of guys would filter that out…how many people was I missing out on meeting, because I was chubby, and didn’t fit their “weight” profile.
It really made me self-conscious. Now, take in mind- this was about 10 years ago, and there were only 2 or 3 sites online at this point that anyone had heard of. Niche specific sites weren’t around. Now there are sites for seniors, BBW dating, Christians, heck even farmers! The point is, now we have segments where we can feel more comfortable.
In these massive date pool sites, you’ve got the 20 year old people mingling with 60yo’s, and guys looking for one night stands, mixed with people looking for long term relationships. Now the sled dogs can go to their adult friendly date sites, seniors can meet other seniors easier, and people like you and me, plus size women and men can have our own place, where weight is no longer an issue.
Imagine for a moment— not having to think of your weight. Wow! In our day to day encounters, our weight is in our face all the time. Finally, here’s a warm, welcoming community that says, your weight is okay. You’re fine just the way you are…want to know more? You can sign up for free and poke around…take a look around, browse profiles, and finally relax…you’re home! It’s time to meet your match.
