    There aren't many asian men on here, but if there were and I was single, I might give it a try.

    They have to be asian? What if someone said they'd only date a white man?

    I only date black guys.

    Its called preference, whats the problem with that?? Lol.

    Never crossed my mind to actually date someone from MFP. Hell, I don't even date women from where I live now. Hell...I don't date at all.

    Perhaps I should give it a try. Who knows...there might be someone I could connect with out there. I doubt it, but it could happen.

    I would! Maybe it would be better than regular dating websites, as both men and women here are trying to lose weight, so I think men would assume maybe I don't have a perfect body (yet).

    I would PREFER someone that doesn't have the perfect body but is working hard to get it! I would LOVE a workout partner!

    Too many times I've fallen for these skinny girls that each McDs all day and flop in front of the TV and never gain a pound. That's not good! They're usually lazy as hell too, whine about walking across a parking lot

    I think a lot of us just fell a bit in love with you... ;)

    Really?

    I'd take a 200 lbs woman that's doing couch to 5k over any playmate that sits on her *kitten* all day

    i can run with the runner, the playmate i'd just ogle.

    i've had the strippers and the cheerleaders. They're a lot of fun, but that's as far as it gets. They're like a roller coaster, fun to ride a few times but you wouldn't want it in your house.

    Let me know if anyone sees a 30+ year old guy from Ontario, Canada around here... lol!
    Most men on dating sites are kind of creepy with tons of baggage... and a pot belly to match! :laugh:
    I do agree though, common interests and goals is a great way to meet someone :)


    I'll be 31 next week.

    OP: You are married. You have no business trying to date anyone on MFP or anywhere else.

    For me personally, if you meet someone on here and date them, that's cool.

    It's the people that constantly post about it, or are constantly hitting on others that can get irritating, because they are using MFP primarily as the meat menu and it can be distracting or irritating trying to find fitness topics and having to wade through dating-site topics which on some days can become unruly.

    If I were single this would be a great place to hook up. You can find someone who is either at your fitness level or who you admire and they can help you achieve better results. If you actually got together you could help keep each other healthy and exercise together. :D

    My guy is always ordering chinese and pizza. I try to resist but it's so good and he always orders some for me so I feel bad when I don't eat it. :(
    He never works out with me and on days I don't feel like it he convinces me to skip it. I wish when I said "man, I really don't feel like working out today." He'd say something like "It wont take that long, at least do half of it." Just something to make me go.

    This is so true. I found myself more motivated to better myself by associating with someone who was doing the same. I went from a home life with a husband who didn't encourage me and only pointed out my flaws, to someone who told me I was beautiful as is but encouraged me to push myself to meet my goals. What a difference that makes!!

    Then you'd be called racists. It is a double standard.

    That is crazy talk. How is that a double standard?

    Because if someone is white and prefers to only date white people, idiots would say they are racist...and that's why they don't outside their race. If someone said they only date asians, it somehow isn't racist in the minds those the SAME people that would call someone racist for only dating white people.

    I didn't say I agreed. CALM DOWN. I'm saying it is a double standard.

    Actually my son is mixed and I STILL get called racist.

    I also get called a few other things from white guys that dont approve of my choice.

    yet, I dont really care what anybody thinks. Im attracted too who im attracted to. Lol.

    I've actually dated a few men that have recently transformed themselves, unknowingly. It's nice because they can appreciate what I'm doing. And it certainly is an attractive quality - shows the ability to work towards a long-term goal/commitment, which is severely lacking in so many people lately.

    Hmm...I think like any other online social media or one geared towards dating proceed with caution & your eyes wide open. If it works for you great. Go for it! Since there is a common interest of health & fitness that is a great start. If the two are on the same page. Me personally, I would rather meet someone the good ol' fashioned way. Maybe bumping into someone in the grocery store as we reach for the same item. Haa! (yea...what are the chances of that happening?) :drinker:

    "white" can cover a lot of races.



    It can cover a lot of *nationalities*, as can Asian... But that's not the point - I was just surprised to hear someone say they'd only date one skin colour.

    I only prefer Caucasians. It's a preference thing.

    They are just asking a question.

    Calm down!
