Should I find myself in the position of being single again, damn right I would hit on women 20 years younger than me!

I would also hit on women 10 years younger. And women my own age. And some older than me. Way back in my single days, I dated women much younger and much older than me. Some were 10's, some 5's. Every person I went after had some intriguing, attractive quality that drew my attention, and, yah, in some cases it was purely a physical attraction.

I can't defend the old guys in suits in Rittenhouse bars macking on every girl who walks in, but there's no shame in taking your best shot and approaching someone you find attractive. Worst thing that'll happen is she says No.

What if he married a real knockout with a great bod and a beautiful face. Then she gained ALOT of weight, would he leave her?

Why don't you ask me?

Why are you taking my post (in which I'm being completely honest, btw) so personally? I don't like fat women, but I do like women with some meat on her bones, deal with it. I get shot down all the time because I'm not tall and dark, but I accept it for what it is. I am handsome, though. As far as "what is overweight?", you know if you're fat or not.

i completely agree with you. sometimes i'll sit on my step with a glass of wine and survey the people walking down my street. rarely will I see an "average" woman with a very attractive man. however, you'll see ALL guys - fat, skinny, old, young with very attractive women. it's a sad fact, but women have to work 10 times as hard as a man just to get by in the dating game. especially with stats in Philly like this:

you didn't offend me -- but you likely offended at least 2/3 of the women in philadelphia

If they are that sensitive about it, they should probably lose some weight.

Where's this from? I don't know that I agree with that/this sentiment. I see mediocre looking women with hot men all the time. I usually go for non-stereotypically attractive men but they are in decent shape and are taller than me (above 6'0"). Listen, don't beat the guy up because he's not into overweight women. You're into what you're into. Myself? I can't stand a lot of body hair on men--particularly dark hair on light skin. We all have certain things we can't get beyond. I expect men to gain when when they're dating me (after all, I bake REALLY well) but not when I first meet them. I figure men and women look the best and take care of themselves the best when they're single--so the single you is the most attractive you that there is. If I'm not attracted to single you, there's a problem because it's only going to get worse.

well, i found it here: http://www.shmittenkitten.com/ (ps: best blog ever), but I assume it's originally from the census bureau, based on the tags on the image.

anyway, i don't know if your words were directed at me, but i wasn't referring to the guy who won't date overweight women. i'll be the first to admit, i'm a picky girl. sure, i won't generally date men who are under 5'10" or don't have a decent sense of style, but am MORE discerning about personality, intelligence, political views, etc. the non-physical always trumps the physical. that's the fundamental difference between women and men i suppose - men will rarely make the exception. they are shallow, and think with their penises. sorry.

Above 6'? Monster!!!! You've probably offended half the men in Philly.
