Wow, this very question is shallow in nature. Of course, I'm biased because I've been struggling with my weight since I was like 7, while my brothers and dad all topped out at about 154-171 pounds. I was 234, I think when I graduated high school, and boy did I hear all the comments about my weight from them.

Honestly, I'd go depending on the person's height. I have a friend who's 5'5" and weighs 165 but it's all muscle.

Was it better for me to have proceeded to meeting them just to avoid being shallow?
well, did you meet them to avoid being shallow, or did you meet them on the chance that you might have chemistry?

mostly though, i think you can tell if a person is attractive from a photo, but not if you are gonna be attracted to them. for instance, 2 of the people i met online were actually less attactive than their photos, which i had thought were pretty good. the weight and face was the same, but they had poor posture, bad teeth, one walked duckfooted and one just looked...dirty.

im not saying that you shouldn't close out people that you find repulsive, but i am saying that you have to broaden your horizons a little when dating online.

well, they are in the dating game too, so i'm sure they know about rejection.

I think eHarmony instead of matching us on 29 dimensions should just make it an even 30 and ask us all in our profiles what our weight is.

For those that are physically fit and NOT overweight:

- Do you view someone who is heavier than you to be incompatible with your lifestyle?

- Do you accept the argument from some people who say they have no control over their weight and it is just their bad luck?

- What is the heaviest person you will accept to date?
Well i am over 300 pounds and am 6 foot 4. I would be hurt if a sexy woman would reject me because of my weight.
