Online dating for the Ugly Stepsisters?

[fleurjasmine]

Obviously quite tongue in cheek. I'm not actually ugly, but I am overweight and I know I should lose it and am trying, but ...

Anyway, is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Unfailingly I think I will be overlooked for slim beauties ten years younger than me! Is there any way I can convince men that I have much to offer by way of a lovely personality, intelligence, humour and so on? Or are we all about the looks no treble?

fleur if you find out, let me know. im more than overweight and it appears to counteract every positive quality i have
3 kids, post 40, fat .... not much dating currency here sadly :(

It's rubbish really isn't it? Although even when slimmer I didn't exactly have to fight them off!

I'm slim, somewhat attractive and mid 20s.

Dating sucks for me too & I've got a strong personality to offer.

I know it's hard not to feel like this but the dating world in general is a shit time for most of us!

Cripes Pip, then there is no hope for the rest of us!

Is love really only a forte for the young and slim and attractive? Surely not

I thought I was in love.

Then he cheated, left me and DD in royal prick style.

I think it's just a matter of time. Easy for me to say as I've got time on my side, though.

I hear speed dating and seeing people physically can help, there's too much choice online so the average Joe's like us get glazed over without much of a chance to prove how utterly hilarious we are!

I googled and came up with these

Erk! I don't want to be someone's weird fetish! And I'm not THAT big!

Fleur - it's pure luck if you meet someone online. I think you sound fabulous 👍.

Pip - what's going on with old?

I think I'm reasonably average looking and I get loads of interest (and dates). Let's face it - it's not as if every single man out there is a bronzed, toned Adonis and, whilst many of them might try their luck from time to time with really beautiful women, most of them are well aware of the limited success they'll have with that.

I get told I have an awesome profile which makes men want to message me. I tend to agree, I'm a good writer; but also have avoided the usual profile cliches and focusing on stuff that frankly most men aren't interested in. Use your profile to demonstrate your humour, wit and intelligence and you're ahead of the game already.

some of those links scare the life out of me... mature dating at 40? jaysis what is it called for the 70 y'olds? Fossilised???

Still ill have a nosy - no harm in that!
