OkCupid's new service: pay a fee to filter out fatties

Great idea in principle, but what's to stop a fattie lying when they fill in the 'size' field? They already try to 'lie' with their photos (see MySpace angles).

I suggest "report a fattie" button. For those who had the disappointing and unfortunate meeting with one.

I don't understand why so many people feel it is shallow to judge based on a factor of appearance you have complete control over (minus some medical conditions, but that would be a small % of people). It shows work ethic to stay in shape. It shows you are likely to be better in bed because of increased stamina and flexibility. Working out benefits your mood and sleep habits. So many benefits to being in shape and yet they assume that it is ONLY physical attractiveness. Some guys even prefer "fatties!"

I doubt they would just overlook some guy who showed up in old clothes that hadn't been washed in months... that level of neglect shows you don't care about yourself. So does being a whale, ladies.

If they've been able to filter by height and income all this time, it's only logical.

Plenty of fish does this now, for free. Also, most of the girls on it put out on the first date.

seems like a really smart business plan to me

I'd consider myself curvy in a good way. I'm slender, but I have athletic thighs from soccer, a butt and breasts. 34-25-35.

I'm not 'thin'... Nor 'athletic'... Would I just mark average?

I don't disagree from having filters on body type... I just don't think the current way to go about it is all that helpful.

This is not in any way new.

New? It's been like that for as long as I can remember.

This is so the uglies and fatties slowly phase themselves out of existence. No ugly or fatty wants to date an ugly or a fatty, and neither does anyone else.

I'm a fatty and I approve of this lol. But you have been able to do this forever, they have probably just made it a paid feature now. Good rule of thumb, always limit at LEAST one size below what you want.

This is the second article I've seen on this. I don't know why these journalists think this is something new, they've had this feature for at least a year, which is how long I've been an OkCupid A-lister.

I didn't have to pay for this feature so I'm not sure this article is correct.

You should see what you date in person, that's why I never use online dating sites. As it's been said before, 90% of what men do in terms of seduction and dating is to avoid rejection, turning to online encounters where you don't have to endure face to face rejection from women is one other wrong way to handle this fear, and like all other ways of 'avoidance', it'll just destroy your chances of hooking up with what you want/deserve.

Get out there and start picking hot, slim chicks, because no hot woman has the need to go online, and the ones that do are there just for an ego boost.
