"It was a relief to feel that I didn't have to hide my size in order to attract a date. On other dating sites I would post old photos of myself that didn't show my true size, or fuzzy photos, or no photo at all. On Overweight Date I just put myself out there and there were no complaints, just contacts from guys wanted to meet the real me." The comments from Max of Wichita are also complimentary. "The idea of matchmaking Between two large people or between a large person and a slender person who likes large people is brilliant. Everyone knows exactly what they're getting, physically anyway, and it takes a lot of the self-consciousness out of the whole process. Anna from Austin echoes the reviews of many people who are skeptical of programs that encourage overweight people to be satisfied with their girth. "I consider myself pretty open-minded so I registered for Overweight Date because I'm interested in dating people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, etc. But there's so much research available which shows the negative health effects of obesity. It bothered me that this site was almost encouraging people to stay overweight and not even try to aim for a healthier lifestyle." Erik from Salt Lake City was attracted to some of the women whom he met on Overweight Date. "It took me a little while to get past the idea that 'thin is beautiful." But my friend met his wife on Overweight Date, and she's the loveliest, most gentle woman -- you don't even notice her weight. So I registered and found that there were a lot of women there who fit the type of partner that I'm looking for. I have also found someone through Overweight Date. To me, her weight really doesn't matter." Katy from Charlottesville was not comfortable on Overweight Date. "I'm moderately overweight but not obese. Yet there were a couple of occasions when I'd start communicating with a man that I met on the site, only to deal with rude comments when the subject of my weight came up. I expressed my complaint to Overweight Date but it never really stopped so, in the end, I left." |
