Blonde, Blue Eyes, Intelligent and Obese

So, anyone fancy a date?
Ok so not 'Obese' as such, just a little bit pokeable, but why does that put boys off sooo much? I don't have a double chin and I've been told I'm pretty, I'm in the top 20 in the year, I'm funny, easy going and have loads of boy - friends, so why isn't this formula working? :confused: Does a little bit on the hips really get in the way that much? Is it soooo hard to see past clothes sizes? I'm not accepting the way I am, I'm losing weight so I'm not saying 'Love me for being fat, I'm not changing!' But it seems to me only men who are 'Chubby Chasers' will venture into the unknown relationship with a larger lady.
I'm not 'having a go' at boys, simply wondering, is it possible for a larger girl to get a good looking boy? Or is too ego damaging to be seen with 'one'? xxx

Course it's possible. Some people are mad enough to value personality over looks. :rolleyes: How old are you? It's just that... when you're at school I can imagine people basically not looking for a girlfriend in you but trying to go for the "fittest" bimbos they can get their hands on. When you're at uni, or even sixth form in some places, things are fairly different, and people will respect you for who you are and not just go out with you because of your looks.

Although it does concern me that your thread title was three quarters about your looks, and you seem to want a good-looking boy yourself rather than a nice one, so I can only imagine you bring it on yourself.

Imagine everything you just said, but for a really short guy.

I think it's on about the same level, but at least fat girls can get thinner!

You're in the top 20 of what? Being cool?

now IMO to rate yourself intelligent shows us why you don't get a date.

im quite a big girl, but i think my ex was dam gorgeous if u ask me :smile:

You dont concentrate on getting the good lookers - get the nice guys, then they will become attractive to you anyway. Its just a bonus if they are cute, like my ex :smile:

blond hair, blue eyes doesnt mean ur fit. ive seen lots of unnattractive people with what you have....

you can't be that intelligent if you didn't realise that getting a guy drunk enough = 100% success rate. Beer goggles are your friend. As generalabriety said, you seem to be after a looker, so why not just go for a run and stop eating biscuits? I can PM you some marching songs if you like. Regarding blonde, blue eyes... is this meant to be the third reich? They would've taken you running to maximise your Aryan utility. Nah... give me brunettes (with personality) - I am accepting PMs, by the way.

You can be blonde with blue eyes, a size 8 and still not be physically attractive. Being blonde with blue eyes doesn't make you 'fit' any more than being brunette with brown eyes.

I'd say it depends how old you are. The older you get, the more mature guys your age tend to be and therefore the less they care about a little bit of flab because they also consider what's inside. That's just a generalisation but from what I've seen it's pretty true.

edit - just seen you're wanting a specifically good looking guy. Without meaning to be rude, if you're aiming to find a typically good looking boy then maybe you should accept that these boys may be looking for a typically good looking girl. In our society that generally means slim.

I think the title is meant to be a paraody on stereotypical dating sites e.g Blonde, Blue eyes, 6ft, so the 'Obese' satirises your classic dating ad.

Im a brunette, brown-eyed, fairly intelligent (HAH!) and im a size 14 - now, a pretty normal sounding girl really. Im clearly not slim jim, but my boyfriend is damn hot in my opinion, and (hopefully) he feels the same towards me.

Im healthy, im not lazy, i can definately walk without getting puffed out, and I have a good sense of what clothes I can wear, but i still dont manage to look really slim, i am the way i am - my point being that whoever you are you can do things for yourself to boost your confidence and that so shows when out there finding a boyfriend.

When im around my man i feel sexy, i feel happy and all i want to do is make him want me more and more, and thats how a man should make you feel. Searching for a boyfriend should not make you feel like you're obese and asking people on TSR why nobody likes you, its all about time and place and the impression/aura you give off.

Not to be rude, but the way you spoke was just like you believe that you deserve a hot lad, and you think you're three quarters of the way to getting one, apart from the 'obese' bit on the end. The more you point it out the more people will notice, so just dont say anything, if people that you go out with notice you have blonde hair and blue eyes then thats all well, but acting as though thats what gets girls the boys is ludicrous!

Haha, OP: listen up to this guy.

Haha, yeah that's the way I see the title; it's quite clever! It's hardly fair that people have accused the OP of thinking she's something special just because she has blonde hair and blue eyes...people on here read into things too much and are too eager to expect the worst of people. :rolleyes: If the title had read "brunette, brown eyes, intelligent and obese" then no-one would have batted an eyelid.

Anyway, OP, I don't think that just because you can't find a bf that it automatically means there is something wrong with you. I bet loads of guys fancy you and you just don't realise it!

Ok, point taken, maybe it's just a school thing which I've finished now. I probably have these feelings because any attractive person Ive been attracted to has always ignored me so naturally I've become somewhat bitter towards the good looking ones of the world. I did mean to satirise dating adds which obviously no one got :p: sorry about that, thanks for all your advice :biggrin:

Maybe you try too hard to be what you think they want, when you could just be yourself and be happy. BTW life gets better when you leave school and discover that what happens in the microcosm of the school yard is largely inconsequential to the outside world.

I got it, I just thought you were being a bit silly asking for a good-looking person rather than a nice one, and that made me doubt your satire slightly. Especially if you're 18/19 now. Still, each to their own.

:eek: Thank god another level headed human being posted :p: People do read way to much into titles lol, just a quick glance and it's quite clear the meaning of the title, clever I agree :p: I also agree with the loads of guys probably fancying you part, because they probably do! Just as shy as you! Yes maybe they're not stereotypically good looking, but it's a start until you're drop gorgeous and you've got Johnny Depp knocking at your door :p: Good luck with everything :biggrin: xxx

How is realising you're intelligent and recognising it as a positive trait a bad thing?

Ok to clear this all up since everyone has mixed ideas! The reason I posted this was partly because I'm annoyed at a 'good looking' boy I really had strong feelings for, and when he left It just me doubt if it's even possible to get a guy like that. I'm probably just looking for an ego boost so I'm sorry for all the disruption I've caused. Naturally personality comes before beauty (for me anyway) So stop thinking I'm shallow and self obsessed please :p: xxx

Hey we all need an ego boost now and then :p: Just maybe you could have phrased your problem a little better before all these 'mixed' ideas started going all over the place :p: Boys are never worth beating yourself up about, you'll find someone! If losing weight will make you feel better then lose the weight like you said, Good luck with it :biggrin: xxx
