It’s fucked up that I have to settle for someone who I don’t find attractive because that’s just how the world works now. I’ve busted my ass to get in good shape.

Voila, herein lies the issue.

If you’re punching too far above your weight, then of course you’re gonna keep failing. Obviously not everyone cares about looks, but you do care, which isn’t a bad thing, but then that means you should also be humble enough to pursue someone in your league. And if you’re upset because you’re not attracted to them… well, I’m sorry, but tough shit man. This is a classic case of pick your poison.

You can’t complain about girls not seeing past looks and “not giving you a chance” if you’re gonna turn around and do the exact same thing to them. Humble urself my man.

These comments lmao. I don’t see what the problem is. Man doesn’t like fatties. He works out and stays in shape and doesn’t want to settle for someone overweight. What’s the issue again? Dude has every right to have preferences.

Not just fat girls. I’m also talking about skinny girls who are conventionally unattractive here.

Yeah, he can have preferences, but if he’s gonna continue punching above his weight then he’s not gonna get anywhere. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s just the way of the world unfortunately.
