No! By your dad's reasoning anyone plump would be single and only skinny minnies would date and that's simply not true.

I haven't looked very much - I've felt quite a lot of shame over my appearance so haven't wanted to court rejection. I hear what you are saying about the confidence and grooming.
Regarding my dad - he is in a relationship with a woman who has just turned 30 - he is 66. When I spoke to him in the past about how uncomfortable I felt about him dating such young women, he told me that I should be pleased for him and that he likes their youthful skin (which I found difficult to hear).
