[quote=Anonymous]I think that being overweight is a significant handicap in online dating and there's no fudging it. If you lie, your date will show up and discount you and feel cheated. If you dont lie, you will be passed over by many, but not all people. So, if you're overweight, then this is your reality.

On the other hand, I think being average is fine, as long as you are honest about what that is (most americans are overweight, so 'average' is not the average of americans, but someone with a BMI sort of in the middle range). I also think it depends on your demographics. If you are looking for someone 45 and up, you are probably going to accept imperfections, and if you are not, then you are going to have a hard time meeting someone. And then there are personal preferences.

i also think that with online dating, people screen very quickly based on categories and photos (which is why people lie because they assume if they squeak by someone's filter they'll charm them in person, but that rarely works out) but the whole package counts once you meet, so while I advocate for being in decent shape, how you dress, carry yourself, listen to others, treat others, and generally live your life is going to make a huge difference.
