lol I’m fat (and, I wouldn’t say ugly, but I’m pretty ugly if I forgo my hygiene, acne prevention, and grooming routine for a couple days) and I’ve been in a few relationships and am married to a beautiful woman half my weight, and we love one another very much.

Fat doesn’t HELP, it certainly makes things more difficult. There are men/women who are immediately turned off by it. But dating and relationships are in many ways about personality and confidence. Personality you can improve on, and confidence you can fake, until both become natural to you.
