I don't see how liking thin is a prejudice against fat, anymore than liking fat is a prejudice against thin. No one should have to apologize for their tastes just to be PC. We all have friends that are not our type, and we don't have to start conversations with "I'm sorry I don't want to sleep with you..." If her body doesn't do it for you, it's no different than if her mind, personality, bank account, or whatever doesn't. Healthy or not. If we didn't have personal tastes, we wouldn't have the variety of choices we have in food, entertainment, careers, etc. Would all be eating whatever was in front of us, watching whatever is on tv (and enjoying it), fucking every man, woman, child, dog, that came across our path and so on. I don't know why this topic keeps coming up, and usually with the OP saying "I'm horrible because I don't want to sleep with someone who doesn't turn me on because he/she's "x", and I don't like "x" but PC society says I'm shallow if I don't do it anyway." Thank God we have differences in taste, it helps spread the love around!
As for online dating, as with anything on the web, you have to be careful. We aren't all millionaires from helping some poor Nigerian dictator's family, are we? Apply the same level of skepticism (or trust) that you do to anything else on the web. If someone over- or under-represents themselves, it's not your problem. Find the right person, date, marry, have kids, enjoy life with the perfect person, die. How can you go wrong? Just don't apologize for what you like.
