6'1", 260, 26% BF. I would say somewhat "builtfat" is the best description - I'd like to lose about 35lbs. Hair thinning a bit in the front.

Rex your height is the envy of most guys in the forums so use that to your advantage. Lose a few pounds and try to dress sharp. When i read your statement that she recently lost over 100 pounds I thought good riddance what has the world come to!?
There is no way she looks decent and I would be very suspicious of dating any woman who majored in "women's studies", reeks of a feminist if you ask me.
So, my advice is stop concentrating on women until you get in better shape, try to get down to around the 220 pound range and <20% BF.
After that as other posters mentioned try online dating but only use e-harmony or another legit site as all free sites are a cock-fest in US.

Alright I'll start a diet thread. I've tracked everything I've eaten for the past 3.5 years on myfitnesspal.
When I first joined RVF I was told to lift and get strong. Went from 215 to 255 and got wicked fat. So then I spent a year dieting back down to 220. Then I felt I was still weak so I bulked back up to 265.

On the other hand I was totally fine just staying in the moment and conversing and joking about whatever for 3 hours. I practiced my conversation skills. Anyway, I decided to friend-zone myself by absolutely zero escalation, and hopefully exiting gracefully. However, even before getting home I had a text saying she wanted to meet up again.
Oh well, it was a good experience. But it shows me that I am really at the bottom.

Gio and a couple of other posters have some great advice for you, you just need to start implementing that shit and start the slow hard climb back to normalcy and hopefully far beyond. I'd really urge you to take advantage of all the resources on the forum to really change your life for the better (not that there is anything inherently bad with your life or anything, just that it is possible to improve it).

Absolutely. Some very inspiring replies in this thread, I must say. Should I make new separate diet/fitness and dating threads or just use this one? I will share my food diary via PM with members with a decent number of reps. At 260lbs., I don't think I look terrible, but... not good shirtless. I'd say I have the build somewhat like if you imagined a rugby player but with too much belly fat. I made the commitment a month ago to stop gaining weight because I was clearly heading towards the Roy Nelson look.

Perhaps a group message with members you feel may be able to help? I'd be happy to find some time to provide input on diet, as a support to Gio or whoever else would take the lead on advising you. I'm the same height, 190lbs -ish and hover around 12% bodyfat without really having to think about it. I think you might be surprised how quickly you could get the physique you're talking about and what it might do for your mood and motivation.
