Weight is very different from height or face for example as it’s someone one can actually control via discipline.
It makes sense then that an ugly guy who’s in reasonable shape would want to date their looksmatch — an approximately equally ugly woman in approximately the same fitness level for example.
In reality this doesn’t often happen and instead you end up being betabux for a landwhale since it’s all you can get. Now, if the dude is fat and the woman is fat then I can see that being “fair”.
I want to point out here that I see women complain constantly about unrealistic standards from men but actual studies/statistics (Dataclysm/Tinder okcpuid stats/speed dating) clearly demonstrate women are hugely more picky when it comes to their mates. Remember the whole “men evaluate women on a bell curve” (expected) while women evaluate men harshly with a sharp cutoff after like the top 20%? Shits fucked yo
Still I’d say 180, maybe 200 lbs is probably my cutoff unless I’m pretty overweight myself too. A bit of extra weight is fine I’d say and beggars can’t be choosers, but at some point it’s just too much and they don’t even resemble women. It also actually reflects on them and their lack of self control as opposed to genetic ugliness which ones personal choices have nothing to do with.
This is why the whole schtick about “how tall are you” / “how much do you weigh” is so humorous to me — the first question is bullshit since it’s not something the other person can control while the second is actually way more valid since it’s something a person can control.
