[quote=Anonymous]People are shallow. Research shows the most important factor when searching for a romantic partner is looks. This is 100x true for women dating men.

I used to be overweight and now am not. I never lied about it but also did not keep pictures of that time in life hanging around either. DH did not know that I was overweight until we had been married for three years. Now that I am middle aged with kids and I am the exact same size as the day we married. Meanwhile DHs exes are all significantly bigger. He doesn't say rude comments about them but I can tell that he would not be attracted to me if I gained a significant amount of weight (some would be fine, he is always tells me to eat more junk food).  The reality is that there are certain proportions that scientifically proven to be attractive to most men.

I do whatever I can to stay thin since the world judges overweight people (women especially) so harshly. Fortunately I have figured out what I need to do so it's not too much effort. When I was single, I had so many more dates when I lost weight. I don't see why you need to bring this up in conversation with a date or boyfriend unless he specifically asks or brings it up first. Why limit yourself. I doubt these guys that you are dating are randomly volunteering every mistake they've made. [/quote]
