I've known several men and women over the course of my life who have broken up with people or refused to date them because they were on the heavier side...

I think many people would find themselves on the heavier side at some point in their life... whether illness or just changes in metabolism as we age (and not changing diet)...

But I have trouble wrapping my head around this idea of rejecting on that basis... I understand not having any attraction at all. But weight is changeable... personality, honesty, character... those things are harder to change (for many people).

Moreover, it's hard to find the right person... I'd hate to think I rejected someone years in the past over vanity... then see them 10-15 years later and find out I can't even turn back time and my criteria was too restrictive...

I dunno, I find the thought itself very assumptive... but I guess those people may feel it's quite assertive of their taste-level.
