Overweight man and overweight women?

What attracts an overweight man to an overweight, older woman? Maybe I just wonder why this (20 year) younger man is flirting. Can I flirt back?

    Overweight men are not rewarded--they have high cholesterol and end up diabetic and debilitated in their 40's. You are making an extreme error in logic. You are mistaking a correlation for cause and effect, which is common among sloppy "social" science types. Working in the corporate world is extremely time consuming--they basically expect you to turn your entire life over to whatever shallow, materialistic pursuits are necessary in order to push up profit and stock prices. The men who do well in our economy generally have no life. They don't have time for fitness and proper diet and tend to relax with drinks and unhealthy food. I can see this clearly among my peers. I, on the other hand, am more or less a professional failure, but I'm still a competitive athlete at 40 and have the body to prove it. I couldn't do that if I donated my entire life to managing some bull **** corporate office. I do think that skinny women tend to be treated better in our society and that overweight men are not as discriminated against as overweight women. But all overweight people pay a price that is bigger than financial when their health starts to deteriorate prematurely.

    What attracts anyone to anyone else? It's preferences, it's things they see or feel that appeal to them.

    Can you flirt back? If he's at least 18 then why not? As long as it's legal then it's no one's biz but yours and his.

    As long as you are both of age and single. WHY NOT.Age really isn't whats important, if you can make each other happy ,that's what its all about.As far as weight, at least with both of you over weight ,neither of you will feel self conscience. Good luck and happy times !!

    Flirt back - you only live once. Perhaps because he accepts you for who you are and not because of your physical appearance.
