Who's Kiddiing Who? Size, Weight, Height,Age,Iit All Matters

There was a thread which just closed, the topic concerned whether men would cosider dating women who wore clothing larger than size 8. In short, there were more varied opinions and responses and emotional retorts imaginable.

Respectfully, I would like to disagree with many who claim to be indifferent about what size dress a woman wears and offer the following:

Whether we like it or not we all judge others based upon the person's physical characteristics; some characteristics for each individual are more important than others, nonetheless we judge.

We can claim a size 12 dress is not important, but what is really at issue is the person's weight. Weight may be less of a factor for some than others, but it is a factor. If all of us were not so judgmental regarding physical charactoristics and attributes, we would all initiate communication with a lot more of the matches we receive.

I am 5'7" and 145 pounds. I also have lost most of my hair. I can promise you that there are many women who chose not to respond or initiate contact with me because I am 5'7 and bald. Just as there are many men who close matches because a woman's figure is a bit round or her face is too full.

The point is, some physical characteristics are more important to me than they are to others and vise versa, but they all play a roll in who I choose to date. The key is how we prioritize another's attributes; do we care more about her generosity and loving nature or her bra size. Do we judge him for his mind or his abbs.

I think internet dating makes it easier to chose based upon physical charactoristics, I think we all do it, and that many potential quality matches are never explored.

Your thoughts?

Just date women shorter than you. Problem solved

Seriously, I have heard a lot of men here complain that women will not date them because they are short. I personally am not attracted to short guys because I am tall and skinny and it makes me feel unfeminine to be towering over my man. However, I am sure there are plenty of petite women that would be happy to date a guy that is 5'7. I have seen plenty of petite couples living happily ever after

Physical attributes really don't matter as much to me as personality, and intelligence. I don't mean I would go out with a guy that made me shudder every time I looked at him but within reason it doesn't matter. I remember looking at the first ten matches sent to me and thinking this is impossible. The only way I could pick one is to go out with all ten (unless their picture made me shudder ). I gave up pretty quick on online dating because of this.

So basically I agree with the OP.
