I am 6'1" about 300 lbs. I have been trying to find a good woman for a long time now. I seem to think it has something to do with my weight. I just want opinions from as many females as possible to see what the opinion of women are in general. Thank you

Firefyta2, weight is a very touchy subject on these boards and was recently (heatedly) debated.

Here is a link to a different thread that may shed some light for you. (The title is tongue in cheek -I believe- and related to a previous thread.)

http://advice.eharmony.com/boards/da...e-fat-man.html (Hey Girls! Would you date a fat man?)

Hope it answers some of your questions and welcome to eHA.

For what its worth (since you're only looking for women's perspective and I ain't one lol).

If you think you're overweight....you can work on losing it...and maybe be more active, lift weights, etc. Be thankful that at the very least you got the height advantage. You can work on the weight...height is something you're born with.

Just search for the height/weight thread....it's the one filled with flying plates, gunshots, screams and wailing and tears...and that's just from the guys! LOL

My thoughts exactly, at 6 foot 1" a lot more potential matches are open to you than for a shorter man. I have never seen a woman's profile with a maximum height restriction. Even 5 foot nothing women want six footers. It is possible to loose weight, but no amount on diet and excercise will make a 5 foot 8 into a 6 footer.

The other obvious solution is if you are overweight, then date an overweight woman!

OP, I think you already know the answer very well. At 6'1", 300lbs is a problem and will be a problem for most women out there. Shoot....it's a problem for your own health and you know that too. There is huge difference between a few pounds over here and there and being heavily overweight.

I think that the weight issue is one of the biggest blind spots that keeps coming up on these boards. I would be more concerned about a person being unkind, thoughtless, prejudiced, or addicted, but that is just me. Yes, I could lose some weight and so could my guy, but that is not the focus of our lives. Good luck with finding a real lady who sees you for your real worth.
