I liked a ‘high-value’ man’s photo on a dating app — he rejected me because I’m ‘fat’
New York Post ^ | December 8, 2022 | Adriana Diaz

A plus-size mom claims she was harassed last month by a man on a dating app with self-proclaimed “above average” looks and “high values.”

“It was so ridiculous that it was comical,” Krista Brown told Kennedy News.

Brown, 36, said she downloaded the Christian dating app Plenty of Fish in November after being single for three years. She was unprepared for the cringeworthy communications she said she received from a match who turned out to be a mismatch.

I think most of the points that this guy made sound reasonable, if a little blunt.

In view that she didn't message him at all, I'd say it was massive oversharing at the very least. You don't prefer her? Just don't answer; or say, "I don't think we're a match; but good luck to you." No need to spew contempt on her for what he imagines she may have been thinking. He made himself sound very insecure about his highly(self)-regarded attributes.

I was quite sure he was joking. But it’s also a term for a gap skinny-legged women have others don’t.

cringeworthy

People who describe things with that term should be flogged.

"Strong, independent, opinionated woman" is dating-app speak for "nasty, arrogant bitch".

My guess is that, on this site, you get a notification when somebody likes you, regardless of whether you have liked them. While for some guys this can be nice, for most-desirable guys I can see them getting spammed with hundreds of “likes” from women they would NEVER want to date, and this guy was getting tired of it.


The most desirable guys on these sites get less attention than an average woman there. Online dating is totally skewed in favor of females.

Plenty of Fish is NOT a Christian dating app.

Well, she certainly looks like she might have been sitting next to the basket at the Feast of Cana.

Yes, of course we all are.

>> Because good looks used to have a rough correlation to good health before modern times (plastic surgery, amenities and conveniences, etc.). <<

Which is why it blows my mind when women think that they’re so hot because they got work done. If we can tell, it failed. And these lizard-faced women (knife-edge noses, teeth that look like chicklets, and immobile breasts that contain more mass than their entire body fat) think they’re so “perfect” when what’s attractive is healthy.

What a great compliment; thank you! Although most conservative women are more reason-based than the lib wimmin.

It's why I chose an ambiguous screen name. I like logic, reason and debate. If your screen name is "Lil Puffy Pie", you're not likely to have your posts taken seriously.

My ancestry is American since before the American Revolution. I'm more of an Anglophile. Been over there for a couple of extended visits, worked for a company with offices over there, and I read the Brit media often.

The British playwright George Bernard Shaw said, "England and America are two countries separated by the same language."

Sounds as though you would do fine there as well.

Which is why I think dating sites cater to women, because if there's no women, there's no revenue stream.

Thus, sites have an incentive to let guys know when a woman expresses interest, but NOT bother women with uninvited expressions of interest (if you want to piss a woman off, just express interest in her, while being seen by her as undesirable).

“Just move along from people you aren’t interested in.”

I guess you didn’t get the memo:

“Silence is violence.”

Warmth in the winter, shade in the summer.
