Do we have a chance at dating the really attractive ones?
There's always someone going to be doing something stupid while driving. You have to drive defensively; that is, eyes everywhere, but especially on the tires. You can tell which direction they're heading by the direction of the tires. And look at the other driver's to see where they're looking.
Also it is imperative to feel the car as an extension of yourself. Like that guy in the machine in Avatar. Practice, practice, practice.
And it's best to learn with an automatic.
Anyway, with regard to the topic, the reason people pair up is to make themselves stronger, not weaker. There is no incentive to take on a person who will be a burden (unless you love them for some reason.)
I'm just afraid of it being overwhelming while in heavy high speed traffic and it only takes a second, ya know? I don't like that as a passenger even. Eventually I will try, even tho the thought makes me nauseous.

Its not a downgrade..
Mental illness can be treated and controlled.
If am decently fit and healthy and at the very least just want a girl not overweight. She doesn't have to care about health fitness like I do.
Besides, I prefer skinny to the point of bony girls. Not anorexic, but still skinny and boyish hips and specifically lacking...buxomness. Literal A or B cup, boyish skinny rather than feminine skinny. I don't want those skinny hot girl looking girl, I want boyish, average face, buxomless!
Overweigt girls are the complete opposite of my preference.
I am simply not attracted to any.overweight women except slightly overweight.
Also, its actually not that hypocritical, because studies have shown more women are overweight than men, and here in Oz young boys 12-18 get more activity than girls the same age, to the point there was even a health and fitness campaign for young girls and women specifically called make your move.
I think that's why I see so many young men complain about it too - obesity rate is on the rise for men and women but its women we're focusing on because that's who we're attracted to and more of them are overweight than us, and what with a minority of feminists and other women pushing all of this stupid disgusting fat acceptance movemet (notice how fat acceptance is only for women, not for men) we are defending our preferences and not surrendering ourselves. Some of us might think to accept an overweight girl is to accept obesity but even if I dated a slightly overweight girl she best be working hard to eat healthy and exercise like to do to be healthy, not half-a55ing it like Retrogamers ex gf was (ask him about her)
I thonl obeity should be approached neutrally. No shaming, but not acceptance.
Just campaignsthat say "its well proven obesity causes a variety of health issues including...here are some ways yo can eat better and schedule 30mins exercise into your daily life even if you work full time... I hope this helped and you can find the time to improve
As for me, I'm a bigger guy with more overall size and mass than a lot of guys in the 16-20 range, but a good amount of it's muscle.
176cm, ~75kg, ~13-15% body fat. Very common body stats among boxers. Not MMa crap, just regular boxer.

I have no issue wit your preference after all that is your choice. And your right that women are naturally more likely to be obsee.
I kind of half agree with you I don't thing obesity should be encoraged because it is unhealthy however at the same time I still thing both overweight men and women can be attractive. Unfortunately shaming only increases the likely hopd of eating disorders that contribute to both obesity and the oposited end of the scale ( could not think of the right word). So I think it's important to accept all body types but still encorage a healthy lifestyle (if that makes any sense)
To be honest it may be me being a bit sensitive to the topic as I am a bigger girl and the thought of people finding me hideous is one of my biggest fears. I'm of course working towards a healthier lifestyle but have issues that contribute to my weight. I am proud to say that I have lost 12lbs in the past month though
You're not hideous Allie, I remember your picture.
Someone that recognizes a problem that they are trying to fix it shouldn't be shamed for it(not that anyone should be) and I have to believe that people are capable of changing even something that they might think of as an ingrained part of them. Dedication and perseverance are probably most admirable qualities a person can have, perhaps I say that to give value to what I feel I do but I've always been inspired by harrowing stories of those that stood up against all odds and refused to surrender to the circumstances they found themselves in.
L&D is kind of a triggering forum in general it seems, hard not to get depressed reading it and relaying your own predicaments.

^^ and I have seen this hypocrite attitude here, on wrongplanet.
Losing weight is not dangerous unless starvation/crash dieting/eating disorders and is actualy the opposite and is very likely to improve your health and life.
Also disproportionately long legs don't always look good on men. So yeah, it's a bad idea, but not impossible.

Really? I genuinely don't think I've seen girls on here complain about it.
Like I said to Outrider it's ok to have a preference. If you prefer thinner girls its simply what you are attracted to. To be honest I wouldn't want to force someone to go out with me who didnt.
To be fair though it's not like your called hideous because you are short. Although I appreciate there is still a stigma against it

Who cares? People can want whatever they want - it doesn't mean they're going to get it.

If I really want to be the best me I can be maybe I should put less effort into imitating normal people and more effort into improving on the strengths I already have.

I'm sick of being told real men like curves, not bones. Real men decide what they like for themselves.

Imagine if in your comic, the first guy said he doesn't like dating girls who have depression or other mental health problems. What people call him a cad for holding that preference?
