[quote=Anonymous]Anecdotal observation I had some time back.

I remember perusing the online profiles over a couple of years or so. Never used them to date but it was still somewhat new and I found it interesting. It was hard not to notice the women that were on there a long time. (and please now that while I didn't look much at the men's profiles the following holds for them as well) Most, if not all, of the longterms were overweight. Their profiles, and what they shared in them, were markedly different from women who might have had some extra pounds but were overall fit and attractive. In some cases it was almost as if there was a plea to overlook their appearance. The lack of confidence isn't limited to ones weight but that sure doesn't help. When you feel you are at a disadvantage, regardless of what it is, then you are. Would you hike cross country without getting into good enough shape to do so? Would you go on a job interview unprepared and dressed improperly? I don't see reentering the dating world as any different and that holds for both sexes. And it goes beyond your appearance because if you have psychological issues you haven't resolved or you don't really know what you are looking for in a mate or what you are willing to give in a relationship then you shouldn't be back in the dating world rolling the dice and hoping it comes up with a winning number.

So OP, you said ''am ready to start dating again'' and then proceeded to talk about what you believe will be a possible obstacle...are you really ready?[/quote]
