what are the best value dating sites?

LisaB85

Started a group on FB as a bit of fun and started thinking, I've posted this there.

Is being 'fat' really the worst thing a person can be? worse than being a liar, a bigot, or 2 faced? during my time as a single person I have used forums etc and come across a hatred for fat people where people openly say 'I hate fat people' and people find that acceptable yet if I said 'I hate black people' I'd be shot down.

How can you hate someone for being a bigger dress size? Do these people refuse to even look at a 'fat' person, but surely by hating someone based purely on appearance makes them worse than those they hate, it makes them a bigot. People come in all shapes and sizes and everyone deserves the same respect because dress size does not make a person a good or bad person.

I don't hate fat people or black people, I don't like the bigots that think this way and seems like it is becoming more common and more acceptable to base a persons worth on the size of their pants.

Thought of this after seeing a profile of a man who described himself as 5ft8 and 15 stone so overweight but hates overweight women.

Had a date off a site I joined on Thursday, seeing him again this weekend.

Couldn't agree more. So many people these days are incredibly shallow. I never put a photo on sites but go to great lengths to tell all in my description.

I will happily contact people without a photo as their picture tells me nothing about their personality. Almost always when someone contacts me the first thing they ask is "can I have a photo" - they get a polite reply declining and that is the end of our contact.

The one's I like best are those that don't have a photo on their profile but say "if you don't have a photo, I won't reply" :rotfl: Jeez, can you spell hypocrite?:rotfl:

Good luck with the second date :j

I always prefer to see what the person Im messaging looks like. While a person may sound like mr wonderful on paper and we get on like a house on fire, I may not find him attractive.

As they say, each to their own. When my (late) wife and I first met there was nothing we liked about each other. She moved in to a house across the road from me and we bumped in to each other a couple of times as we both had dogs.

She thought I was (and I quote) a stuck up snob Can't write here what I thought of her but it wasn't complimentary . Once we actually got talking things were very different. We married a couple of years later and we were together until ill health took her too soon.

My point is, if I had gone by my initial impression/reaction I would have missed out on the best 24 years of my life.

Sorry if I've darkened the mood, that wasn't the intention just trying to explain why you shouldn't always judge a book by it's cover.
