    Let's be completely fair: your stated current weight on your profile is 227 and says you want to lose about 30 pounds.

    So don't discount a woman because she's not fit - because you're not exactly fit yourself. Knowwhatimean?

    You can't demand in a partner something that you yourself cannot offer.

    So say you meet a woman who's a little overweight. How do you know she's not working on her goals just like you are? Because that "fit" woman may very well look at you and think the exact same thing you think about that overweight woman who's trying to lose 30 pounds.

    I agree with the others: join an activity group.

    Truth hurts. You are right.

    I know it sounds weird, but a website called Meetup.com is great to find groups that do anything you can think of. Or you can even start your own group for whatever hobby or interest. It is a great site to explore different activities and such.

    Also, depending upon where you are in the world, there are activity groups that are around (I'm sure) that you can sign up for, and just go out and do stuff. Some groups regularly meet, others are sporadic. You will only find a true partner if you aren't looking. So you might as well have fun while you're "not looking" and you might run into someone that you click with who have common interests.

    Edit: I remembered another website for you to look at. Lotsofevents.com.

    I have looked at meetup.com. That site has all different types of social events going on. I haven't been to one yet. They again I have not really been out that much lately.

    If you decide to go to a Meetup event make sure to stay in close contact with the event host. I once thought I was going to find a fine man at a German Meetup and I was the only one that showed.

    I also run a Meetup group, and the idea of hosting an event and not showing up is just rude and un-called for to me. There's always tons of people at our events.

    Just talk to the event host. Some people buy those groups because they're bored and have too much money on their hands, some actually run really interesting and fun gatherings.

    You misread that. He said he's been divorced for 5 years, not divorced 5 times.

    Can't say I agree with that. I'm 5'5" and weigh 125 pounds, am fairly fit and dated a guy who was 330. Different strokes for different folks....

    If you are going the online dating route, just make absolutely sure you find someone before you hit the magical age of 45. . Because that's when everything stops. . I'm more fit, more successful, and more awesome than ever, lol. But, sadly, it took too long. :ohwell:

    Interested in Obstacle Course Racing?

    A lot of single and fit people enjoy training for them and participating in them. Worse case scenario is you get really fit, make some new friends and have a great time.

    I gotta say that's one cesspool I'd rather stay out of. Bad enough I was on PoF for 6 months :grumble:

    Let me tell you about the guy who got so drunk on our date that he got a DUI on the way home and called me from jail :explode:
