also, think of how this question would have been recieved had it been a guy about a woman's weight. people would be calling for his head on a platter for thinking like this.
I agree there's bias. However is it not the same for a guy? To find less sexually attractive someone who is not at least normal weight? Just an honest question. I don't need politically correct * Also is there really a person who is unconditional?
@ asker, yes we do often take issue with a woman's weight, but instead of going through the "if she just lost weight..." we instead just move on.
as for conditional versus unconditional love, historically men have more often than not given that unconditional type, though i will agree if you dig deep enough that you can find some degree of conditions even on that (such as no romantic cheating) but women modt times have conditions for even speaking to her, often finacial. lets not forget the trope of "love me for the way/who i am" which has mainly been women who use it followed closely by religious orginazations. when men try using it, they most often are laughed at. before you go into beauty standards, look closely at who really sets those standards, moastly it is other women where as men's "beauty" standards are mostly set by women also. except men's standards are, again, more about finacesl and material things.

You might be missing out on a great guy. If he treats you well and is a gentleman, why would his weight matter? Just think about it.
that is friend zone meet at places as friends
If physical attraction is important to you, consider his other features. Do you like his nose, his eyes, etc? If so, I would say you can make it work.
Your shallow, so move on. Haven't started anything with him, but you see issues already. So go meet someone else.
this is a part of why i dont date, women are unable to be uncontional in their feelings.

Especially unconditional in the get to know phase?
that's an interesting neologistic choice, guru. totally contional.

Move on. He deserves someone that will appreciate him.
It is your choice but remember you could be missing out on something special.
girl then just don’t date him?😭 plus you don’t need a sexual relationship
I think it's irrelevant. There's plenty of girls who don't have this hangup that's probably a better match for him anyhow. It's all good.
Girl then if you choose to be superficial free this man lmao. He deserves to be with someone who respects him.
So why not look for friendship
Don't waste his time
Is he like kind of fat or like really fat
You are shallow.
Shallow Much?
Wasting your time
