This is possibly the worst dating advice I have ever seen come out of this site. The guy said he wanted an athletic woman to match his lifestyle. So Instead of gaslighting him and telling him that he REALLY wants a thin woman, why don’t you try actually listening to him.
Tons of thin women are not athletic. Tons of overweight women are athletic.
There’s nothing wrong with his request. Stop telling people to settle. It frankly doesn’t work and only makes people miserable.
My advice to this poor kid who just got shamed for wanting someone to share his passion: get off the dating apps and join some meetup groups and events that have activities you enjoy.
People are not algorithms!
