guys, you're preaching to the converted! I agree thoroughly that looks play a part, and I exercise like it's my second religion - I'm not the best-looking guy but I'm toned and well-groomed which is enough.

However through PU I have become better at socializing which is the point that was letting me down.

Another thought about the post and more of a personal inner-thing I don't exercise and take care of myself for girls, I do it for me - like you said fat people generally offend and it shows determination, pride and self-control if you take care of yourself
