That was quick

Today, I went to a Speed Dating event because the apps just ain’t doing it for me. After a while of talking, the first guy I sat with told me, “You are way too out of shape to have high standards and expectations.” I got up and left the place in tears. This is the world of dating while plus-sized. FML

Just be yourself

Today, I decided to quit dating. I'm a plus-sized girl and I can’t get a guy to save my life. On dating apps they run for the hills when they see my full body. I even tried dating plus-size guys and even they have standards. I fucking hate society’s “ideal” beauty norms. FML

Superficial

Today, my Tinder date took one look at me and left, because, "the camera" made me "look thick" and he, "can’t date a skinny bitch." FML

**** those dudes

Today, my Tinder date said it wasn’t gonna work, all because, I “need to lose some extra pounds.” Last week, I'd had another Tinder date and he told me he’d continue seeing me if I dropped at least 30 pounds. I think I get the hint now. FML

Today, I went to a local bar for a speed dating event. The first person I hooked up with took one look at my face, burst into laughter, and walked out of the bar practically doubling over. FML

Sheila Take a Bow

By Ash090 - 13/10/2024 18:00 - United States - Fort Lauderdale

Today, I came to realize that dating as an overweight girl sucks. I can’t get a guy to commit/stay to save my life. I go on dating apps, and when we exchange photos or meet in person they abandon me. I know that this will change if I lose weight, but is it wrong for me to want to be loved for who I am? FML

Love life struggles

By ihatemyself07 - 09/12/2025 20:00

Today, I came to terms with the fact that in order to get a boyfriend, I need to slim down. When I put full-body shots on dating apps, I get swiped left on. But when I put headshots, I get matches. And lots of them. But I can’t catfish these dudes. Time to go on a diet and hit the gym. It’s not fair. FML

Everyone can be a 7

Today, I quit dating forever. I’m an overweight girl with glasses. I attempted to put flattering selfies on dating profiles, but the guys run from me or ghost me when I meet them in person. I took a friend’s advice and put honest, full body pics of myself. I got zero messages. None. I give up. FML

Today, I showed up to my Bumble date with a guy. He looked at me up and down and said, "You look different from the pictures. I pictured you more slimmer." To rub salt in the wound, he proclaimed, "I’d rather staple my nutsack than continue this date. Good luck to you," and walked off. FML

Honest discrimination

Today, I was called fatphobic for rejecting an overweight man who asked me on a date. I don’t know how to force myself to be attracted to fat people. There’s just nothing there. FML

Is this catfishing?

By Anonymous - 01/04/2023 06:00

Today, I went on a date with someone I've been talking to online for weeks. Unfortunately, it turns out they'd used old photos and misrepresented themselves, and I didn't find them attractive at all. Even I'm not that desperate. We ended up having an awkward dinner and I couldn't wait for it to be over. FML

While that’s a needlessly cruel way to put it - I assume there was some truth in the message. … I suggest back off on what isn’t working - Dating apps and mixers like this. Instead play the long game. Find an interest that you can enjoy and that the person you want to find would enjoy too. Get together with others with shared interests. Be yourself, but try to be a pleasant version of yourself. Put aside your expectations and just meet people. You will eventually meet someone who sees you for you and you will see them for who they are. … My daughter met her current husband over Dungeons and Dragons.

Nothing he said couldn't have been applied to men as well, so your assumption to call it misogynist is baseless. As for preferences regarding looks : You seem to believe that physical attraction is a conscious decision, as opposed to a subconscious, non-controllable process. Is that really your experience, or just wishful thinking? He was rude, yes. Anything else you assume is pure speculation.

Don’t listen to that shallow misogynist POS. You dodged a bullet. And don’t go on apps and speed dating shit. Dating apps are like cheap/free prostitution to be honest. It’s basically UberEats for sex. Like the below commenter said, go to shared interest events. You’ll meet people there who appreciate people for who they are and don’t treat them as human blow up doll.

Preferences regarding looks can get you in the door but it’s not enough to sustain a long lasting healthy relationship. If your partner gets in an accident and gets disfugured or gives birth and their body changes. What? You’re gonna leave them for someone who fits your “preferences”? And yes, he is misogynist for commenting on her “shape”
