[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be the first to admit that I am fat. I'm 5'4" and 200 lbs and the thinnest I've ever been is 185 lbs. I have never really attracted men. However, I went to HYP for undergrad and then Harvard Business School for my MBA, and now make a very nice living as a consultant. I have a wide circle of friends and am very well liked, and I know I'm smart. I've never really been able to attract men, however, because of how I look and because I can't really flirt.

I want to marry a man who has an Ivy League background and comes from a good family. I think that with my brains and career success and social network, I should look like attractive girlfriend material for a successful man. Will they be able to see past my weight? (Don't talk to me about weight loss - I've been down that road a million times, and now I've just decided to accept that I'm fat and the fat is here to stay.)[/quote]

Describes my SIL and she has been married for 30 years.[/quote][/quote]

She got married in 1984, times have changed a little bit since then.  [/quote]

Right, in the 1980's, men were all about dating obese women.  :roll:[/quote]

In 1984, Ivies were easier to get into, and she probably wasn't fat 30 years ago (god, none of us were).[/quote]

Wow, sweet! SIL aced her way  through Ivy then aced thru law school, then went to the top law firm became partner, but it was all very easy back then... and she was not thin back then. She is attractive but not pretty. [/quote]
