Give up on dating until I get back in shape

Date as I am

You can only vote on one answer.

I was getting regular exercise and watching what I ate at first, but then I had surgery, was on bed rest, then we had a few weeks of harsh subzero temps. Now summer is almost here and I'm not fit to be seen in public! If you answer the poll, I would like to know your reasoning.

Sorry to hear about your surgery.

I’m 51 now. I’m not a slim person, nor was I slim when I started dating 22 mths ago, but it didn’t matter. Men were still interested in me, even if I was self conscious about my body.

Let your personality lead for you. I’ve dated men of all different sizes. Yes, I have to be attracted to them somewhat, but their personality has to shine through as well.

And remember, a lot of people have gained weight during this pandemic. So everyone’s not feeling 100% themselves.

Good luck

@blindbob It doesn’t matter. There’s a woman out there who won’t care.

@marsbar I'm not looking for a woman.

@blindbob Oh ok. No matter. If they like your personality & still find you attractive, they won’t care that you’re not fit.

Just do it. Don't worry about weight or looks.
