Is this what physically fit people mean when they tell overweight people to get in shape?

Every time I’m on some forum, in public, or just hear the topic come up it pisses me off. When someone that is overweight or out of shape asks for dating advice the first thing someone tells them is to lose weight. When someone sees an overweight person in a relationship with someone that is skinny or physically fit people ask how the overweight person got with the skinny person. It seems like skinny or physically fit people act like overweight people have to lose weight or be in good shape to deserve love or be worthy of a relationship.

i think people may be dong this for different reasons. some, yes, are just being mean and superficial. but there are some that have unrealistic expectations when it comes to their partner. its not exclusive to weight, its really every aspect in life. its common to hear someone say i need someone at least 6 foot and makes at least x amount of $. i think when people are looking for something that they themselves are not there is an issue there. but if someone is just looking to date and isn't requiring the partner to be "fit" it doesn't really matter what the person is, to each their own.
