Thin privilege is finding a really cute, awesome sounding guy on a dating site and knowing that you have a good chance of him actually messaging you back.

It’s looking at his questionnaire answers and seeing the question: “Can overweight people still be sexy?” and his answer saying “no” and it not affecting you.

I can’t even count anymore the number of times that this has happened to me. I often find cool, cute guys on OkCupid and I get excited and want to message them only to read their questionnaire answers and see that. A few others are “If one of your potential matches were overweight, would that be a dealbreaker?" and "Do overweight people annoy you?”

I don’t often see yes as an answer for the last one but I almost always see the answer “Yes, but only if they are obese” for the second one. It’s really discouraging. And as soon as I see those answers I immediately close their profile and decide not to send them a message because I’ll clearly never have a chance.
