Dating is already hard enough as it is. It's even harder in America when you're an average weight person attracted to average weight people. The overweight/obesity rate in America is 70%. 42% of those people are obese. That leaves 30% of people you you date. Then taking into account that you'll probably not be attracted to most of them, compatibility issues, or differences in age, that brings it down to maybe <%5 of the people you might have a shot with that you actually like. Also others might like them as well or they may be taken. Of course this depends on where you live, but most of America is experiencing this endemic. This sucks

Edit: I'm genuinely glad of all the positive feedback this post has generated and the fact that I'm not alone. Thank you all.
