I’m 18 dates deeply within my 50 Dates that is fat quest.

As a bonus size girl in Australia i came across it tough to satisfy Aussie guys and wound up going to Hollywood to dip my toe when you look at the deep end associated with the pool that is dating.

It worked! We wound up in a three-year relationship that was great, we broke up and I was single again until it wasn’t and.

New Year’s Eve rolled around I happened to be considering the year that is coming. My fate ended up being unavoidable. I’d to haul myself right straight back regarding the dating horse and place a chubby leg over. The only method this is planning to happen was if we set myself a target, a target or had an idea.

We began thinking it through, “What if i recently did one date a week” seems doable. “If i did so that for the i’d date 50 individuals. Year” That’s huge! We persuaded myself through cliches, “It’s a true figures game. You’ve surely got to kiss some frogs. A teapot is had by every lid. ”

Along with that 50 Dates that is fat was.

Why 50 Fat Dates?

I was going on 50 dates because i’m fat (duh) and.

Additionally, because full figured dating is really a taboo, because a lot of big girls (including me) have already been told they’re ‘too fat to date, ’ out there because I wanted to find out what guys really think about dating plus size women and because I needed to put myself!

Be Real. Is not this 50 f#cks that are fat?

Although on the basis of the response I’m sure could have been feasible. It’s an advantage size quest that is dating a sequence of sweaty one evening stands.

I’d been running my personal plus size we blog, Big Curvy enjoy, for many years so that it ended up being a pretty wise solution to chronicle the 50 times.

The Anal Episode

Whenever Everybody Claims “I Can Not Think You Are Not Taken”.

Valentines Day had been the time that is perfect begin. Yes, during my brain this is a comedy that is real-life-romantic the creating and I also ended up being without a doubt would definitely have legit ‘meet cute’ just like within the movies. Incorrect. Wef perhaps I knew that which was waiting for you.

My Plus Size Dating Arrange

Casting a broad internet ended up being my main concern. I tried internet dating, meetups, introductions, dating activities, big woman golf clubs, seminars, weddings, and networking mixers. I happened to be also targeting a cross section of males and so I didn’t get after the exact same ‘type’ of man We constantly dated.

Think about a silver fox, doll kid, divorcee, solitary dad, white collar, blue collar, various countries, ethnicity and religions. When you yourself have 50 times to relax and play aided by the listing of opportunities is very long. It absolutely was shaping up to function as bloody Noah’s Ark of dating with one guy of each ‘type. ’

Seriously though, I became within my mid-thirties and ended up being looking for myself an excellent guy and instead of sitting within my apartment wondering why I’m solitary and looking forward to you to definitely come knocking back at my home I made the decision to complete one thing about this.

Although, (spoiler alert) one of many 50 Dates that is fat actually come knocking back at my home. He had been a plumber delivered by the landlord to repair the toilet and we also finished up on a romantic date (he had been #17).

Exactly exactly exactly What took place in the times?

I happened to be catfished, stood up, and lied to multiple times. Yeah, not really the romcom I became longing for.

One man possessed a gf and had been interested in anyone to ‘join the relationship’ (yes a threesome) another possessed a gf, (we just learned whenever she tracked me straight down and delivered me an email with photographic proof warning me personally of their ‘ways’ and a warning that is thinly veiled of get off my guy).

There was clearly the sexy ex-military man turned comedian whom lived together with his mum, the weapon lover whom went me through exactly what he’d do in order to an intruder (taser them until they poop themselves watch for them to wake and taser them once again evidently), the super nice Spaniard (there is no spark but we adored the bottomless champagne and orange juice at brunch), as well as the lumbersexual we came across while shooting a film (he had been a very high hipster and I wondered if he’d ever really sliced lumber).

Not every one of this dates had been horrendous. The good dudes we dated had been a little center associated with road without any spark.

Had been fat ever a concern?

Nope. No body freaked if they saw I became fat in true to life along with my dating profile. Really, i came across it quite simple to date in Los Angeles. A great deal easier compared to Australia.

All 18 times asked me away once more and I also truly broadened my horizons whenever it stumbled on dating outside my ‘type’.

Why do you take a look at date #18?

Mr Beverly Hills kinda broke me personally. He stated he had been 38 (he had been 55). He stated he had been solitary (he’d been married 33 years). He said he previously no young ones (he had three ). He stated he had been a residential property designer (he had been a CFO for the rapper well well well worth $820M).

I think there’s always that individual whom changes both you and he had been that for me personally.

I’ve been for a hiatus that is dating since and a great deal changed within my life but #18 is not likely to be the finish. The search for 50 Fat Dates continues so look out for date #19.

I’m going back to my ‘type’ to check out what goes on this time around.
