Men would you date a pretty 200 pound woman?
Replies

They do. I started dating my current husband when I was 240, and I've been 200 for most of our time together (including when we got married). I was even heavier dating and married to my first husband. (We broke up for reasons unrelated to my (or his) weight.)
I've also dated men on a wide spectrum of sizes. Size is an attracting factor for some people, yes, but it's not nearly as big a deal as you'd fear.0 -
I'm afraid not. We all have our likes and dislikes and that is a deal killer for me.

It's what's on the INSIDE that matters. As far as I'm concerned, a woman's looks and weight account for about 35% of her overall attractiveness. The other 65% lies inside.2

confident, intelligent, vibrant, funny, eloquent, great to be with
trumps
insecure, dumb, dull, dull, dull, dull to be with
weight is immaterial in this. The first makes sexy, the second makes millstone
also in for sausage2 -
Hypothetically since I'm married and no longer able to date, (much to the disappointment of all of the women at my gym, who are obviously swooning over my every move).
(For example, just the other day this very attractive lady said this to me:
"Are you done using this bench press?"
I mean my god woman, can you make it any more obvious that you yearn for my loins?)
(And then there's the senior center where they put out the coffee.
Gertrude was pouring her coffee while watching CNN and she said "Cold out there today!"
Jeez woman control yourself. I know I'm a strapping bearded hunk of ginger manliness but come on, this is a family oriented building).
Where was I....
Oh yes, back to the original question
Yes, I absolutely could. I do think I would need to have some amount of attraction (just being honest here) but that's entirely possible and I certainly wouldn't have some sort of weight standard.
You need your own talk show.
Go get it, now.4 -

This is what my husband said actually..(except in for sausage)
I was 185 when we met...lost 10lbs for the wedding...gained up to 210...currently 150lbs
he said his attraction to me was due to the fact i was a confident sexy women...which has nothing to do with my weight...cause confident and sexy is a mindset....
we are still married...still very very much in love and he shows me how much a lot...;)2 -
I have always been into women who are round and soft and curvy in all the right places, regardless of their weight, or my own weight, and I have had some amazing relationships in my life, for which I am grateful. It's all good...1

OK so you're just freaking funny

I might sound shallow but I won't.3

Well I've been dating a pretty 225 lb woman for 21 years, she's now 209 and working towards getting smaller. ;-)
But I'm not as manly as SideSteel and definitely don't get as many overtures as he does now that I'm on my sixth anniversary of my 39th birthday.
Dating???
you better put a ring on it!!!6 -

This just made my whole day.0 -
why not?0

No, because I have my preferences and heavy women aren't included. Most women prefer dating men who are within a certain height range. It's much like that, but weight related rather than height related.7

You are not shallow. You can't *kitten* someone you are not attracted to.
If you don't get to know ppl and be friends with ppl bc of their appearance that makes you shallow
OP,
cliche but true...beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My highest weight was 378 pounds, and I had a man who was madly, truly, and deeply in love with me. He was average size and loved every ounce of me. Your weight will only hold you back if you let it. (I am assuming this is where your question stems from)

I wouldn't but that shouldn't affect your self-esteem.
Be sure not to use the fact that some men would accept your situation as a reason not to improve yourself. We all get caught up looking for excuses to avoid reality.1 -
My wife is over 200lbs....never seen her size being an issue although I do worry about health implications.0
-
This question is so subjective, it's impossible to answer. When you say pretty, what do you mean? Is she 5'2" or 6'1"? What is her general overall shape? Does she have skinny lips or thick lips? Does she have cankles, or is her weight generally well balanced?
These are important things to consider.2 -
Speaking of my own experience, I have encountered men who dated me at 200+. One married me. We have divorced, due to the fact he is a *kitten*, but I digress. I am now engaged, but when I was single, I would not have looked down on some guy who wouldn't date me because of my weight. That's his right. Just as it was my right not to date a slim guy or a guy with long hair. You can't please all the people all the time, you just have to please the right person 0
-
That's an easy question. if there's a mutual attraction i could care less what she weighs and if she is planning to lose or not. i've dated thin tone women that were a train wreck and i'll take a woman with a good head on her shoulders any day!0

This ABSOLUTELY had me cracking up!!

Tell us more about this manliness
Not just manliness, but Ginger Manliness!! lol2 -
I don't think I've ever known the weight of any woman I've ever dated...
I only know my wife's weight because we use the same scale...2 -
I once asked my husband (he married me twice when I was ~250) if he was more attracted to me now that I had lost weight and he told me "doesn't matter, it's not your weight I see when I look at you."
I think I'll keep him.5 -
If I'm being honest, unless she's an athlete and over 6 feet tall, no.

Sure, as long as we clicked well. I mean, I'm 264 myself, so I might not be the target of this question, but I would, no problem. Though I would advise her against losing all of her weight, because then she wouldn't exist anymore, and I would no longer be able to date her.4

yes i would0

I like the answers of the men who say they wouldn't, because anyone considering the question -- especially phrased as it is -- can see what the "right" answer is. It takes some courage to say what you really think.
Having said that, many people find themselves dating (and marrying) people they didn't think were their type!3 -
I don't want anyone who wants me to be a certain weight or look a certain way. Been there, done that, and left his sorry *kitten*.
Newsflash: looks fade. Yes, physical attraction is important, but some people act as if you have to be a certain height, have certain color eyes, and weigh only x amount of pounds and not a pound more. No thanks.
I'd rather the guy who squinches his face up when I tell him I'm trying to lose weight and asks me why. He's supportive, but he thinks I look fine how I am. That's the guy I want.0
