A Review of JDateWrite your own review of JDate! Reviewed By: guy in LA Location: LA Sex: Male Rating: ***** Date: June 04, 2006 This isn't a complaint about Jdate itself as much as it's a message/question to many of the women on there. I have noticed that most women LEAVE OUT THEIR WEIGHT. First let me state, there is nothing wrong with being a little overweight, and there are very women on Jdate who would be considered medically obese (which is 30+ lbs over 'ideal' weight). The obvious reason you're leaving out your weight is because you're heavier than you'd like to be and you don't want guys to judge or dismiss you as a result. That's understandable, we all want to be loved for who we are, not what we look like. Then there's reality. When I see a potential date (based on a decent picture and good "about me" section) with a blank weight section I think that you're overweight, no if's and's or but's. Someone in good shape always puts their weight in. Then I think that you probably have some self-esteem issues and might require constant reassuring that you are beautiful (which you probably aren't). BOTTOM LINE - if you are overweight, and you put your REAL weight in, I totally respect that and see you in a much better light than those who leave it blank...just a tip. |
