Dating

Does anyone else struggle to find a romantic partner who doesn't fetishise your weight?

I've been out of the dating pool for 10 years. I've tried to dip my toes back in a few times, only to meet with guys who care more about my rolls and weight, than me as a person. I'm so over being told I should gain more weight, become bedbound, of guys who want to feed me, etc. Where do I find a decent bloke who doesn't care about my weight, instead just caring about me as a whole? Also, it's not just about sex, it's companionship that I miss.

I'm almost 47 and I've honestly given up. I hate being alone and lonely, but I've resigned myself to the fact that's just how the rest of my life is going to go.
