We Screen by Age lets add Weight

You can use the advanced search feature to only seek those of a certain body type.

Unless you're saying "the website should put in a filter to make sure no one with a specific body type should be able to contact me, look at me, or even know I exist. I don't even want to go through the trouble of ignoring or deleting an email."

Then I'd say you should put that on some kind of "site suggestion" thread rather than dating and relationship forum.

But to save you time they're going to say something like "nothing," or, "okay. Fork over some money so we can pay a programmer, because we make our money by selling your info and eyeballs to advertisers and the occasional member upgrade.
And putting in a filter that discriminates against weight would cut down users if what you said:'the percentage of obese is greater than 75%,' is true.
Why on earth would we change a system to cater to the 25% and alienate the 75%? The only reason to do that is if the 25% are actually making us money...but they aren't. It's advertisers and the occasional upgrade."

This is not an attack on a body type but rather a better way to sort

It's very easy to sort.
1. Use advance search to seek out those body types you want.
2. Email those women
3. Remember their usernames.
4. Only read emails from those usernames you've contacted.
5. Delete those from anyone that you didn't contact first or you don't like the thumbnail that is shown next to their email.

There you go.
Easy "sorting" system.

A clever but innocuous response that is passive aggressive and in no way addresses the aforementioned ideas but rather seeks to amuse with a social evaluation.. opinions vary....

Average size = 14 in the US ...
Such statistics are usually based on short women.
Over here sizes are based on average height of 1.68m which is real short.
I am however 1.78m ...
You cannot judge by weight, you got to get this index that calculates height and weight, BMI. But even that is not really spot on.

It tells me that if I weigh 65 kilos, I still got a healthy weight. But when I was 67 kilos, I looked like I was seriously anorexic. It's not a healthy weight for me at all.

So best thing is to just use your own eyes. And not be so judgemental either.
From what I see, many men have love handles and a tum when they're around 45 and up -often even at a younger age.
Most in their 50s and up certainly do.
Now a woman is supposed to have more bodily fat. A man doesn't. Most men don't even like skinny women.
A woman with extra padding can be considered sexy and feminine. A man with extra padding is not sexy and it's not typically masculine either.

Because of that, it's more important to know a GUY's weight than a woman's.

SO ... let's hear it from you guys! Or better yet, show us pictures so we can see with our own eyes just how 'lean' you are!

I think I understand the point you are trying to make but really that would be to difficult because one mans noise is another mans music. I mean some would look at a certain body style and find it overweight but another would look and say she is beautiful, also the last time I checked slim people die to.I am not being critical of your choice of attraction only your selection criteria, I mean would it not be better to focus on what a woman has in her heart and soul and maybe find true love instead of going through thousands of profiles? If it is true love no matter what you or her body looks like you will find each other irresistible.Good luck to you sir.

Not everyone is sexually compatible with a soul mate you assume all work together and life is not always this convenient. the idea of a soul mate while more romantic is not necessarily true for life. Remember people are married three times now so a soul mate may not be forever and likely you will have more than one and that is fine as long as you are not delusional regarding the changing faces of relationships over time and the necessity to make needed changes when needed.

True. But how it relates to what Jack said?

How sexist..

Okay, let's do a full description of penises.

Circumcised or not
Length
Girth


Why should women waist their precious breeding time, waiting to find out if a man could possibly satisfy her.? smokin


Genitalia size of men is so cliche. Women don't want that, gays might but women don't really care. The size and fatness of a guy's wallet is what turns women on. Look at Hugh Hefner, Chris Cline, The Donald, I could go on.

Who says those man aren't hung like erm ... Tarzan??? Have you checked?
Always looks like men are more focused on wallet size of another man than women are ...
Which in a way is logical ... typical masculine quality to crave status and stuff ... but the sulking whinging and whining is so unattractive!
Sorry if your wallet is thin and your penis small, but hey, deal with it!

I don't know if my response was clever, but I agree it was certainly irrelevant to your question OP: laugh:

The attitude you displayed here has become a pet peeve of mine.I actually devoted a thread to this type of scenario last week .

http://mingle2.com/topic/472923

There is nothing wrong with having preferences OP, but if we all decide to criticize the people outside of our preference bracket, everybody could end up feeling picked on and marginalized..

Within seconds of looking at your pictures OP , I identified features on you that do not conform to my preferences. You can no doubt look at my pics and find parts of me that do not impress you as well.

What if I decided to call out the parts of you that are unimpressive to me as you did for the group of women who werent impressive to you, and asked mingle in an open forum to include filters on your features that do not make someone else's grade?

Wouldn't that be tacky of me if I did that?

Obesity is not the only item that makes the list of undesirables for some people.

There are other features considered equally undesirable by others ,that people can easily conceal in their pics , including beer bellies, double chins , bald spots at the centre of the head, problematic teeth, undesirable weiner sizes or boob sizes etc.

Anyone who doesnt have a preference for those features could also go on a thread asking for those items to be included in a filter.

It would be a honest expression of preferences just like you did in this thread, but does that act not seem unclassy and uncalled for to you?

An interest in "Penis-Size"? NOT! How about A search on "Brain-Size"[Capacity]...? *Grins*
I wish to hell that someone would invent & include an algorithm that I could use in searching for available MEN that would include a criteria for intellect, honesty, self-awareness,sincerity, empathy, wit, common sense, & compassion.
*

*
I have found that so many men use words to describe themselves in their profiles that are totally untrue. In a way I suppose it's a better thing that most MALE profiles are incomplete, totally vague or are not filled-out at all.laugh


*
To The Op:
This Woman of Substance, Quality, & Intellect[Me~Myself~I] finds your pre-occupation with such an insignificant physical attribute to be disturbing. Your selection of such a superficial topic in reference to the female gender serves to invoke in this reader, a suspicion that your intellect may be extremely limited or compromised in addition to a slight feeling of disgusted contempt in reference to your character. It should not have to be stated that most discerning & logical individuals would select to not pursue any further contact & avoid any individuals who would display such overt negative characteristics. Obviously, in the fact that I harbor an unwillingness to have any further discourse with such an individual;the size of his male organ is of no consequence for any further speculation.

I just read what you said, politely, but still insincere, what I'm asking myself is if I would even date a guy who care more about looks and weight then the human real part of our souls.. Yes I'm curvy and not shamed to say it. Although I don't post pics of myself to people. so if your rant is just unsolicited pics of BBW. I feel for you..

But to just say all woman that are larger then a say 12. should stay out of the dating pool, is just sad

lol, you guys are talking about a thread that filters off unwanted or unpleasant body parts, your a programmer's worst nightmare. first he'd have to have a questionnaire for all the people to fill out then. he would have to add it to an algorithm. But more importantly, would the people in this dating site really answer truthfully, to all the things they probably worry about themselves? if I had to fill it out I wouldn't.
