A woman writing into Dan and Jennifer at the American Chronicle complained that all men looking for women online are fat and ugly. She said all the men in the pictures she has seen at her online dating service are fat and they obviously don’t look after themselves. She wonders if all the men who use online dating services are over weight slobs.

Well, obesity is a big problem in America and there are plenty of over-weight people around. You’ll find fat guys everywhere including all the usual places you might go when you’re looking to get a date or find a mate.

The advantage you have with online dating is choice. At the usual dating hangouts, like a bar, there might be a dozen single guys hanging around. Seven of them are fat, three are drunk and one gives you the eye while picking his nose. That leaves one decent guy and he’s probably gay.

When you use an online dating service you have hundreds or even thousands of men to choose from. Sure some of them, maybe even a lot of them, have spent so much time at McDonald’s that they made employee of the month but you can just pass them by and move on to the next.

Be persistent. Realize that there are new people joining dating services all the time. And you can join more than one dating service. Most of the good ones allow you to go a long way toward meeting someone interesting, and slim, and fit, with a non-alcoholic six-pack, before you have to pay any money – if that’s what you’re looking for.

Of course for many people a plus-size is not a problem, hence the popularity of BBW dating sites for “Big Beautiful Women” (BBW) as well as “Big Handsome Men” (BHM).
