Guys/Girls: What is your real opinion on..

A week without a post?
Ladies and gentlemen, what is your tolerance ratio? How many unattractive qualities vs attractive qualities are acceptable in your partners?
Numbers mandatory, explanations optional. Mine...
1:6
(as in, for every one unattractive quality, he must have six attractive ones. And no, not just physical qualities, I'm not a monster or...?!)
And don't at my (in)correct usage of ratios. Numbers make it true.
oh i have an whole algorithm that takes into account tolerance to my multiple iterations of personality divided by time, factoring in the inevitable decline in attention and subtracting for every disagreement where i wasnt directly at fault, then adding in the reminder and rounding up if passwords are easy to guess.3 -
A whole, fleshed out algorithm means I may have to propose to you again @sweet_ermengarde!2

If you’re man tells you you’re gaining weight is he the a-hole or at the beginning of the relationship just says he prefers a thinner woman is he an a-hole? If your man starts gaining weight - not for a bulk stage just getting loose in the cage - you telling him ?? I didn’t read all of the thread so if this is already been hashed out - well.. my bad
So like...will they also be concerned if I'm losing weight? If not, high probability of a-holeness. If they generally prefer "thinner" women that would need to be defined by them since it's quite subjective, no?
Would I say something if my partner's weight fluctuated in a relatively short time period? If I had a genuine health concern (as opposed to a some odd aesthetic one), then yes.3 -

Fair enough- Assuming that he/she is attracted to his/her present amount of thinness - well leave that up to the beholder .. if they begin to gain weight or fall out of shape let’s say.. and not due to pregnancy or some other health related issue - say just gets complacent and doesn’t have the same desire for health and fitness they did at the beginning- if one says something are they an a-hole - i appearance is not everything but it is something no?0 -

I had a similar thought but on the reverse end...what if SO says stop losing weight or youre too thin?
For your question...
For me I wouldn't say anything unless they said something. Then I would be gently honest. And I would want the same. Its not like we are unaware...so if I ask your preference or if you think I've put on too much weight tell me in a kind way your thoughts.2 -

I'm going to know before he does that I'm gaining weight.
If he prefers a thinner/heavier/shorter/taller woman, why is he bothering to date me? I'd say thanks for making your preference known, best wishes finding her, buh bye.
That's a tough one because I have a definite preference for a leaner male body and if he starts gaining significantly it's going to bother me. The SO packed on about 40 lbs after we met but I didn't say a word, he was the one complaining about how tight his waistbands were and how he didn't want to buy the next size up in jeans, so he decided to lose the weight.
ETA with the extra weight he was on the cusp of needing meds for high cholesterol so he wasn't solely motivated by vanity5 -

So you made me think a smidgen. Looking into my past, I don't think I could be described as someone with an aesthetic/physical type.
I like brains, initiative, personality and a bit of extra...well, that last factor is not for sharing on a family forum.
ETA: No, it's not a "physical factor," you filthy animals 🤣2 -
^^^i totally get what you’re saying but I don’t wanna touch this one with a ten foot pole.1

It’s one of those subjects everyone has a strong opinion on and no matter how eloquently I respond I’ll inevitably tap into someone else’s, “ oh no you didn’t” territory!😬3

Haha!! No wayyy Jose. 😉0

See, you did that perfectly!
I will say however (since you just gave me some courage) that SOMEtimes ppl need to be offended. It’s good for them. Not every thing in life has to go down smooth.4 -
^^^how did this pop up just happen to my convo?0

i dont think he is a *kitten* at all, i would appreciate the honesty
but i also would literally never be in a relationship with him bc of my own issues like feeling like i’m never thin enough anyways, even at my thinnest i still got big *kitten* and hips and i hate it, so i would just never ever feel good about how i looked7 -
How did the AD get removed?? It sounds like I’m talking to you @Princessp378 and I’m not! There was a random comment in between our nice chat and I was ranting at him😊1

It was spam, it was flagged by a number of mfpers and then Mods removed it
Actually, I think after so many flags its auto deleted.. or a Mod took it 😁1 -

My opinion: your partner’s body is theirs alone. No critiquing will be helpful.
My husband has gained 100 lbs since we got married and has shown little interest in exercise or diet because he works like a dog 6 days a week. He was quite skinny in high school so while 100 lbs sounds like a lot, he carries it well and you’d never know he had that much extra weight on him.
I gained something like 60 lbs with my first pregnancy. We have never commented on each other’s weight. He has always treated me the same regardless of my size. He’s still the ridiculously hard working and strong man I married. I’m not any less attracted to him now and he doesn’t seem to be any less attracted to me despite how our bodies have changed as we have aged 🤷🏼♀️11 -
You're a good woman @CacoEther .3
