Initially, Hal can be called mouse when it came to romance because he appeared to be afraid of getting an emotional connection to the women he ‘loves’, which is reasonable considering what his father told him on his death bed. In that moment, with him being young, impressionable, and most likely a bit confused as to what was happening to his father, Hal’s mind could’ve kept his father’s words in his subconscious, then as he got older it would’ve understood them better to later subconsciously infuse them into his personality. Hal purely wanted women and prized women for their looks, and then when he found something wrong with their physical appearance he would begin to find a way to say to them that he doesn’t ‘love’ them anymore, as if he even did from the start. As the movie progressed after the elevator scene, he fell more and more in love with a large woman, which appeared thin to his eyes due to the curse. He may have been seeing her personality through a physical representation, but that’s what he fell in love with, and the further he fell in love with her personality, the less he payed attention to her body. Then when he finally could see her real body, it didn’t matter, he became a man in the field of romance.
(I think this answers two questions.)
