Pride and accomplishment are fine, we have no qualms with that. Who would? But many ads and attitudes go far beyond that.
Take a moment and read closely what others are looking for in partners. And specifically what they're NOT looking for. Many times, "fat" and "dirty" are subtly linked together, insinuating they go hand in hand. One poster here even had the audacity to state all overweight women smell bad. We all have pride in various accomplishments in life, including attaining a certain level of physical fitness, but we take pains not to feel elevated above others who haven't. There's enough class warfare in life without carrying it over into this lifestyle.
It's fine if one isn't attracted to extra weight, but we've detected a distinct elitism in several ads and personal meetings. Sad, since life is so short as it is.
