[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.   I reconnected with a HS crush about 20 yrs after graduation.   We spoke by phone for a couple of months before I visited her.   She opened the door to greet me and I was shocked that she had gained 75 lbs in those 20 yrs.  We tried dating for a while, and at one point, I gave her the "gift" of a personal trainer (she quickly gave up on it).  I remember explaining to a close relative that I didn't think I could continue the relationship because I was so turned off by her weight.   The relative (also overweight) was struck by - and disappointed in - my superficiality.  I asked the relative, if my girlfriend weighed 1000 lbs if my opinion would be OK, and she said she could understand being turned off in that situation, but not my own since my HS friend wasn't that obese.   So I explained that we're both flawed, superficial people - the differences between us were just based on individual tastes, not differences in character.   Luckily, the physical distance and commitment to our local careers was an equally viable reason for the eventual breakup.   [/quote]

wait, aren't you the guy who posted this in other threads but also indicated that you were married?   I think you've got bigger character issues than just not liking someone because of weight.  [/quote]
