    As shallow as we can be, not everyone is looking for the most fit, skinny person to be with. Don't let your weight hinder you from going out there to meet someone.

    Last October here on MFP, I met my now husband (we married in March). I was a size 6, and had just filed for divorce a couple weeks prior to starting to date my now husband, and in the best shape of my life. He loved me through the months I gained weight, and I'm now 25lbs. heavier - about 165lbs. on a 5'3 frame. I know it's not plus sized per se, be although we both strive to be fit people, he was not shallow and did not judge me for my gain.

    eHarmony, is the biggest load of crap on the planet, oh...btw, they enjoy raping your *kitten* of your money while you wait to get to talk to people that a "bot" deems a "match" ha ha ha....anyway...

    If you don't have any children, OMG I envy you! Get out, be you, flirt your *kitten* off with anyone whether you think they are out of your league or not.
    Stand your ground, do not give in if someone wants a one night stand, no matter how lonely or sexually deprived you feel, you have the power. Empower yourself. Finally take the time to work on you, Get your stuff together before you have someone else come into your life.
    You are number 1 now.
    Repeat that! Over and over and over until you believe it.
    I unfortunatley had to go thru the "You are not skinny enough for me" routine over and over and over again...I used that as motivation, to get started working on me.


    I would absolutely join Unmatchable.com!

    i met my Fiancé online!! i was 17 when i met him and ive been with him ever since, though i do recommend being careful when dating/meeting someone online, as obviously it can be dangerous i recommend the first time you go to meet someone go with a friend or family member like i did

    I wouldn't do Eharmony.. I'd look for other sites ,maybe for BBW (big-beautiful-woman) like this one http://bbwdates.net/

    One of my friends went on here and she's been in a relationship with someone on there for 4 months now going on strong.

    I hope it helps, even though you're not big on online dating. (:

    I joined okcupid (at my highest weight) after a long term relationship died. I met some guy for coffee, and he was nice but no sparks. Turns out we'd met a few times a long time ago. He introduced me to his coworker friend without meaning to set us up. It was just a sad divorcee movie night, but sparks flew then! We're getting married in September. Yay online dating, even if it just opens up your social group.

    Do you have a dog? I met more men at the dog park than anywhere else in my whole life maybe.
