Is it wrong to have weight preferences for dating?

I feel like it's both simultaneously relevant and irrelevant based on how "well" the person is doing dating.

If you're a couch potato who orders pizza and drinks a 6 pack every night, while hitting the morbidly obese BMI territory, you are still allowed to have whatever preference you want.

And if that preference is working for you, great! Maybe your personality is amazing, you're really fun, or you're incredibly good at making them feel secure with wonderful communication skills. Or whatever else it is that attracts them to you

But if it's not working for you, reevaluate your preferences. I'm not even saying lower your standards, I'm just saying take a good look at yourself, see what you offer, and see what you can do to be a better match for the people you want to attract.
