Our society is patriarchal by default.
Men, regardless of size, have it easier in EVERY aspect of life.
Full stop, end of story.
Although I'm not sure this will be true for all situations, i do believe that women have to fight harder for their position in the world.
back to the original topic:
Personally i think there are several things of importance that one looks for in a (not necessary monogamous) relationship. These are
Power/Money
Physique/Attractiveness
Personality/status
related Fetish
And the importance of these varies from person to person. If you don't fall into any of these categories for another person then your out of luck.
Guys will more often seek a partner that they find physically attractive or matches their fetish, while women are more attracted to personality and or power. But this will vary from person to person of course
These factors determine how good some one is on the 'market'. And if you don't have market value, well who said life is fair. The key point is knowing what your value is, and how it relates to what others want.
And in this point if your a fat guy and no one that is on the market has a high value for fat guys, then yes, you're effectively screwed.
