Guilty as charged. I've posted on occasion that I was looking for someone "nearly HWP", but the reasons may be different than you think (or maybe not...).
The problem is that there are women out there who will happily claim to be "average" or "a few pounds over" or similar descriptions and who are
seriously overweight. I'm not talking the typical results of bearing children and age here, but rather 100s of pounds over "HWP".
So, in my own case anyway, it's a sort of "flag" for potential respondents that I've got a kind of mental image in mind of the sort of partner I'm looking for, and that image has got some limits to it. Sort of a silent plea for anyone interested to make a personal reality check before responding.
All that said, and speaking only for myself, "nearly HWP" is no "rule". It's rarely in any on-line ad I've posted, a rule often bent, and has on a number of occasions been completely ignored, because I'm far more interested in the whole package than just the wrapping.
Just one guy's take on a potential reason for the appearance of "HWP". YMMV. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. And yadda-yadda.
