No, he doesn't. You should learn what the word paranoid actually means.

I don't know why Dity thinks "fat girl pose" isn't a thing. It's been around since MySpace at least (when it was called MySpace angles).
What kind of stupid question is this? No they did not pose with a ferrari and dive off of a 20 foot yacht while throwing someone's cash at me when we met.
I know what it is and I know it was born out of shallowness and fatphobia. How dare they not just have their belly up front and centre in the middle of the frame. I mean come on lmao.
Yeah he does. Thinking that more bad is to come because things didn't match up in their head and then snowballing into thinking they're trying to actively deceive and trick you about other things is definitely paranoia.
Anyway. I did say I'd leave the thread, so PM me if you want to continue.

I know plenty of single moms, dads, and people without children.
And they're all on this thing called Tinder. And from what i've heard it's the worst way to meet people for a relationship but it's great if you just want to fuck.

Uh huh. It's shallow and fatphobic to want a realistic idea of what the other person looks like. Ok.

It's not a stupid question, although it's interesting you'd say that without understanding its intent. I'd say in general your posts smack of presumption. I'm asking because you're basically calling people out as "paranoid" shallow assholes for expecting someone to show a modicum of honesty in how they represent themselves (while hilariously refusing to acknowledge the difference between a flattering picture and an overtly misleading one). I wonder if you would have been inclined to forge a long term bond with someone who began with purposeful deception. And what's with the Ferrari thing? You keep mentioning them for some inexplicable reason.

Sexual attraction is almost always 'shallow' (if you want to call it that).
Also not finding overweight people unattractive is not called fatphobia.

I'm single OP. Are you gay? Because, I mean I'm not, but you would have to be for it to work. And I guess I would too. Never mind OP, this will never work out, it was crazy to think it ever would. Just, just go on and find someone who can make you happy. We had some good times. We'll always have those.
I love you
It's not paranoia if they're out to get me. But seriously, what's your take on this?
No ferraris, no cash, no nice suits just the body equivalent to the female version of the issue.
Online dating by it's very nature is very shallow so representing your current "status" correctly seems pretty important. Online dating and initiating a dialogue with someone is based a lot on liking what you see. It's a whole different ballgame compared to meeting IRL where there are all those little nuances that are only possible within a face to face contact.

No one on Neogaf.com is single, we are all in a big happy relationship with each other. Because, sometimes you want to go where everyboooooooody knows your naaaaaaaame

Shh this next one ain't technically be me, shhh. SHHH.
I've never actually thought about that. It sounds awkward as fuck, but at least there'd be less pressure than going on a dating site.
I'd be willing to try if you were...
Please send me 3 photos, face, full body front and full body back.

When people say you should give people you're not physically attracted to a chance because you may be mentally attracted to them, all I think is why not both?
I guess I'm also a jerk for wanting a good representation of what someone looks like before dating them.

i think the issue is more that some seem to consider it a fat person's duty to visually disclose their fatness. front and center.
If they fail to do so, it's wilful deception.
I'm not asking / forcing anyone to find overweight or even obese people sexually desirable, but i don't think it's their right to villainize them for not "disclosing" that fact on their dating profile.
A picure on the bathroom scales holding today's newspaper?
This. Dating topic having so many posts should be the answer.
There's also this trend:
Which means "Leave me the fuck alone."

Online dating isn't an awful thing, but your certainly not the only person who's single. The only issue I would have against online dating is how much easier it is for people to lie, but it's really an amazing way to meet so many people so quickly.
Be single for as long as you need to be, OP. Don't rush getting into a relationship or it'll be a rough road ahead of you.

Appearances are generally pretty important when looking for potential relationship/sexual partners. Especially in the beginning. I think it's fine to not want to be physically/romantically involved with someone due to weight. Especially if they try to hide that fact from the very beginning.
I'm sure there's also people who simply can't find anyone who still uses an analog scale attractive. 2 birds with one stone!
funnily, i'd find the newspaper they're reading much more interesting in that picture. That tells you more about a person than any number on a scale. #sodeep

Yes, mostly due to lack of interest on both ends.
Just out of curiosity, what's the definition for "fat"?, are we talking BMI, body fat percentage, chin counting or what?

What part of a conscience tells someone that leading someone on is the nice guy option

TC is anecdotally right but I'm actually surprised at how many single people there are as well. And screw that dating app scene unless you want to try your luck at a one off short term deal.
The problem is actually finding someone down to earth like myself and that's...... Hard.
I value myself too much to settle as well.

Everyone my age has paired off, so I got a cat and I'm just going to bide my time for the inevitable wave of 40's divorces. Thinking about picking myself up some grown and autonomous step children as part of a package deal.
Depends on your age and what level of "single" these women are. They might not be attached to any one person and are simply dating around to find someone they actually want to start a serious relationship. It can also depend on where you live. If it's not in an urban center, chances are women are probably more attached than not.
Nah. It's just fatphobia. Can't make this up.
bad form, dude. bad form :/
yeah, also, at which BMI is disclosure required. And i'm being serious.
10 pounds overweight? 20? 50?
If we're - hypothetically - allowed to expect overweight people to show their body shape front and center, when are they required to do so? where's the cut-off?
In my circle, I can kind of see where the OP is coming from. I only have a few good friends who I see/speak to regularly, and half of them (which is only 3 to be fair) are in long-term (or semi long-term) relationships. The others are just trying too hard to be players and don't care about being in a relationship right now.
My girlfriend's friends are all in relationships, but most of them are significantly older than her (5-15 years). Plus they're mostly women, so the OP is actually correct.

I'm 30 I'm single and I'm pretty okay with that. Had a bit of a interpersonal look at myself and realized I'm just not the type who wants to be in a relationship.
Really?! You think standing someone up is a better thing to do? Come on!

So even though I used to be obese before losing 100lbs and have actually dated big women before I'm fatphobic? Ah yes, of course.
The funny thing is it's not expected of just overweight people. It's expected of literally every person that does online dating.
