Well, would an overweight girl be that bad really? I'm 5-10 and build like a stripper from the neck down. From the neck up, it all goes to hell. I'm not all that pretty in the face, but that's why I've developed a personality.
I was guilty of the same pickiness as you back when I was single. And I might be single again very soon if things keep going the way they are, and I feel like I deserve guys that are totally out of my league. I have usually managed to get them too. Looks are very important to me, which is odd because I'm offended if a guy doesn't like me because I don't have a very pretty face. Well, I used to, and I probably would feel that way again after the divorce.
I have found though, that if you date somebody purely for looks, you sacrifice something else. I once dated the, I swear to God, best looking man I have ever seen. He was gorgeous. All my friends were jealous. I could sit and look at him all night. The problem was, he was flat out stupid. I mean truly stupid. No disorder or anything, he was just stupid. I could not stand to hear him talk. I dated him for about six months until I just couldn't stand it anymore when he opened his mouth to speak.
I changed my standards some after that, and dated some very interesting guys. I once dated a guy who was very overweight, short and not attractive just because he was rich. I felt horrible and couldn't do that more than a week. We stayed friends though. I truly enjoyed his company but not in a romantic way.
My point is, the better looking you find, the more of a problem there will be, in my experience. My soon to be possibly ex husband is very good looking, always was. But he's got a drinking problem and can't show emotion.
Which do you want satisfied in life more, your head or your body? It's rare to get the top drawer with both.
