Reasons why you're a bad catch
I disagree, it removes a very strong incentive for someone to date you. There are MANY woman who are overweight and over 30 you'll have to compete with. So why would a guy pick you over another woman over the age of 30? The guy your looking for doesn't ask woman out on dates.
So what other incentive would a man have to date you if you are overweight and over 30?
Contrary to societal belief, there are men out there that like overweight women. There's also quite a lot that like women over 30 as well.
Your disagreement is 2 dimensional at best.

You definitely would not. I would rather be single. It's PAINFUL and work to have sex with an overweight woman. I would have to think of other woman to do any act. Why would a man want to go through that and for what?

Yes there are men out there that like overweight woman. Generalizations I make and others make don't apply to everyone. However, as I've pointed out, the population of males wanting big woman is very small and the population of single overweight woman over 30 is incredibly large. So due to supply and demand, there MUST be overweight woman over 30 who will never find dates. Do you think that you are the exception to a roll of the dice? My disagreement with you stands. Woman who are skinny and aren't bitter are ones that "good" men will voluntarily do A LOT for.

No, it doesn't. This is a thread to list reasons why someone is a bad catch. Weight has nothing to do with whether someone is a bad catch or not. You can play the number games all you want to justify yourself, but it's meaningless.

My reply above before you edited still stands. Women are not products to be sold.

That's not an automatic disqualifier for a guy looking for a mature, long term relationship.
Just out of curiosity, how does that work?
If you have basic hygiene and grooming habits, then that is not an automatic disqualifier for a relationship either.
Lots of people do, and how the couple deals with it affects the course of their relationship.
That will help your prospects for a relationship the most by how it will affect your outlook on life.
I'm not going to lie and tell you everything's fine, but it is true that not all your problems are necessarily as big as they may initially seem.

That's shocking news. So one physical abnormality does not make a bad catch while other physical and physiological abnormalities do? right...
IMHO, men value sex a LOT more than woman. Whether they like big boned woman or slightly underweight, tall or short, 20yr old or 40yr olds, or even other men, men prefer to partner up with what their sexual fantasies or desires are - over money, companionship, and many disabilities. How many times have you heard of a poor woman desire an ugly looking rich guy? Or a rich guy wanting a poor hot looking woman? Do you notice all the men spending their hard earned cash on hot woman? What men value things may be different from what you value things.
In fact, the thread below this one called "Helping a girl to work out" proves my point. Look at this guy wanting this girl to lose weight. He's willing to go to some lengths to get it done because it's that important to him. I don't blame him at all.

*sigh* I give up on you.

I know, who would want to go out with me, right? A woman, over 30 (gasp) who is overweight, it is enough to make you scream with horror, isnt it?

Of course, going out with a guy like you whose posts are practically dripping with hate and ignorance would be wonderful, wouldnt it?

Dude, grow up or the only dates you will ever have will involve a bottle of Jack Daniels and a bottle of hand lotion.

I'm a bad catch because I'm not in touch with my feminine side.
Tell that to the Russian mail order bride industry.

I guess you two will just have to have sex with each other to prove each other wrong.

Then if you don't agree with me on the date thing, what would you be doing? Hoping some pick up artist indirectly asks you on a date?
What are you talking about? I'm simply trying to make a contrast to the "waaaaaaa noone likes me and it's all their fault" threads in here.
So stop critisising others and state why you are a bad catch.

Men prefer sex more but its more about the act. Involve a women's senses and her mind, and she'll want it just as frequently. She is the more evolved creature, and men are more primitive.
- Poor women, middle-class women, or rich women are all the same in what they are attracted to, and that is social value.
Off-tangent: They also buy more romance novels then men buy porn subscriptions.
Rich men, the middle-class men, and the poor men are all the same in what they are attracted to, and that is looks.
Off-tangent: To say that men built the porn industry is an understatement. Looks are important, and commercially - especially beyond the porn industry - women have responded in acknowledgment.
Social value isn't about how much money you have either - even a stuttering, awkwardly unattractive guy who exhibits socially-destructive behavior, is bluntly honest, doesn't look you in the eye ever, and is afraid of his own shadow can easily push away a gold-digger. Social value is how you are perceived socially and wealth or things you own are just one facet of that. Do you light up a room when you walk in, do you command attention, do you make amazing conversation with everyone, do you build people's value of themselves up, do you have a well-rounded life, do you get on well with women, do you have a passion that drives you, do you have a supporting network of male friends, are you good with kids, are you fun, spontaneous, can find the emotional-center of a conversation, can handle tension well, etc. Rarely does anyone exhibit all of these traits, but even if you hold some of them, you are by definition in the running for the ideal chief or male leader of the tribe, and will be ranked higher by women then the other men around you who lack those qualities. Every women, taken or not, will be attracted to you and your behavior, every guy will want to be like you.
You're observations have a kernel of truth, but there's far more to it then that.
