This is what my brother (34M) said to me (30M) while viewing my dating app profiles and asking how my dating life was going during a visit.
He’s married. I’m single.
I’m at the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life (235/5’11). This is also the worst experience I’ve had while dating in my life.
I tried to shrug it off as a “oh, what does he know? He’s just being an asshole. People care more about stuff than having a few extra lbs - especially in your 30’s”.
However, the more time goes on. This harsh truth is hitting closer to home more and more.
Outside of my weight, I think I’m a good catch. I’m a talented cook, starting to get into wood carving, have no kids, no prior marriage, own my own condo, write and perform comedy videos that break 25k views, and have a job that pays six-figures.
However, because of my weight, no one wants to swipe right or get to know me. And his statement depressingly rings more true every day.
I see a therapist, and she always talks about how I need to do things for me, not for other people. But, I want to feel desired by people and I can’t tell if that makes working out an action for other people or for me.
Either way, dieting and exercise can only be good for you, right?
So, I’ve decided to turn to r/loseit and get started.
