Dieting and got dumped?

Trying to date (keyword try)

I got dumped for another girl. Part of me says if I was closer to goal weight I would have more success with men. The other part of me says to try and maybe meet someone along the way.

Dating just reminds me how important my weight loss is because it is such a superficial world out there.

    I don't think that you being near or at goal has anything to do with it...people just naturally want what they don't have...sadly! It may not feel that way now but you're better off without that fish in the pond...good luck!

    Hello

    Before I lost my weight, I was dating this guy who was almost my size at my highest weight. And he recommended I get the lap band!!
    I tried to lose weight for him. I just didn't tell him I had started doing Curves, and we had a fight (ANOTHER fight) and I just told him where to go and I dumped him.
    We were in college and it was summer though, so we didn't see each other for a few months. In that time I had lost some weight. By the end of the next semester, he wanted to get back with me!! But I wouldn't go back with him...because of how he treated me.

    I think that personality is more important than anything. Anything could happen to us, even if we are beautiful, you know?
    I remember talking to this guy at work after going to a dentist appointment and how it sucked that I had another cavity even though I quit drinking soda. He said that he had perfect teeth...and then he was in a car accident and they must have gotten ruined when he was in the crash. So like anything could happen!! It made me realize that one silly cavity is nothing because I have all of my teeth and they are in good condition, and they work.
    Unfortunately, no matter how pretty or rich we are...we can still end up sick, hurt, bedridden, ect.

    Maybe it is being nasty like this that is the problem.

    *shrugs* I was over 300 pounds when I met my current flame. Maybe you need to find someone more interested in things other then looks.

    According to Wikipedia, yes. I assume that some silly fan or PR agent updated their wiki article.

    wow! people are being MEAN on this topic! i think maybe it has to do with confidence more then appearance . it is a superficial world out there but a guy will almost always notice your smile first ... then your butt haha . maybe the guy just wasn't worth it and that's not the type of guy you want in your life anyway! stay strong, we are all beautiful in our own way you just need to find the guy worthy enough to see your beauty for what it really is ... am i not making any sense right now ? ... ANYWAY cheers :drinker:

    I don't think the problem is what you look like. I think the problem is your sour self-entitled attitude.

    Weren't you talking about leaving him because you were too cheap to pay for your seven-dollar meal anyway?

    maybe your *****y attitude lead to the dumping.
  • I can't speak for your situation, but it doesn't matter how much weight I lose. I'm still ugly. Just sayin'.
  • If you date men with this state of mind,they just use,abuse you and throw you away for another superficial, dolly whom lacks self steam just like some of the tarts out there i.e Kim Kardashian!!!

    There is nothing more beautiful than self confidence with in-reason and if every time you want to change yourself in the way of your man's ideal,then they just play on that to keep you under control,in order to play their game with you. True love is unconditional.

    Good luck in you journey of loosing weight for yourself and smiling from with inside every day.

    I recommend therapy for you.

    You posted this in another thread :
    have you girls losing weight found that you attract more or different men at different weight? If so what weight did you notice the change?

    Why do you think at a certain number on the scale will magically make guys start paying attention to you? You clearly think that your looks and size will determine whether people will like you or not. I think you should see a professional about your unhealthy mindset.
