I'd much rather date someone that makes me laugh and treats me with respect who has a some extra pounds on him than someone who is super fit but treats me poorly.0

This! However, my lifestyle might interfere with his. Like if he always wants to go out to eat at unhealthy places and isn't supportive of my goals...then I don't think we could get along very well. If he's sweet, caring, supportive... *sigh* send him my way!! LOL0 -
yes , I have and would again0

No.... I lead a active lifestyle and we probably wouldn't have anything in common0

Does he have a brother?! Haha I feel like guys like that are so hard to find, especially in college!0 -

I didn't know people really used the phrase 'active lifestyle' outside of hair replacement commercials.0 -

I've heard this from multiple guys and I always feel really conflicted. I'm a bigger girl but I live a very active lifestyle..0 -
I never did and I don't think I would. I just find it really unattractive. It's not a judgement thing; I'm just not attracted to overweight guys. This doesn't mean that I couldn't love someone overweight. It would be different if something happened and my husband gained weight.0

I have dated guys who were overweight. When I met my hubby, he had a little chub on him. Didn't stop me from jumping his bones. lol0

Interesting assumption to make...totally within your right of course....just very close minded and often untrue...but to each their own
For me absolutely, I am much more concerned about emotional and intellectual connection as well as their kindness and respect for others than their weight0 -

lol yea because overweight/fat people cannot be active ....how silly0 -
My SO is overweight and very sedentary. I love him and he love me.0

I don't necessarily find it unattractive, but I am certainly more attracted to other body types. Personally, I like guys that are really well built, strong/muscular and that maybe have a little bit of chub--like thick guys lol.0 -
Well I am spoken for but in theory yeah why not?There are plenty of attractive people who are or considered overweight and unless you are aware of their history or what they are currently doing they maybe in the process of losing the weight.
You are either attracted to a person or not. Aesthetics obviously play a major role, but people often find themselves attracted to others who they never considered "their type" Have been pleasantly surprised by what lies beneath the exterior on some people and other times disgusted.0 -
It's all i have dated up until recently.0

Yep, even married one.0

Just because someone is overweight doesn't mean they don't live an active lifestyle.
What a ridiculous statement and assumption to make.0 -
I just find it really unattractive. It's not a judgement thing.
You do realise those statements are totally incompatible, right? Finding overweight people unattractive couldn't be more of a judgement thing. I mean what else could it possibly be?No.... I lead a active lifestyle and we probably wouldn't have anything in common.
Fat =/= inactive. I know lots of overweight or fat people who are very active. Certainly more active than many of the skinny people I know.
To answer the OP, yes I have and yes I would.Yep, even married one.
Me too!0 -

How YOU doin?? :bigsmile:
As to the question....it's not the weight that is the deciding factor for me. I want someone who cares about their health and stays fit. I'm not the guy that's going to have a six-pack and 10% body fat so I don't expect it of my wife/girlfriend either. But I want someone who is willing to be active, help me set a good example for my kids and if she's willing to go to Crossfit with me.....1 -
i've dated them. my hubby though is very trim. i like a man who can keep up with me. LOL
he's 6'2", 170 pounds, and LEAN. there is like no fat on him. i'm a lucky lucky girl. he's also all kinds of awesome, and soo funny.0 -

Yes overweight people can lead very active lives (I know plenty) but you can not deny that there is some truth in the statement, where some overweight individuals live very inactive lifestyles (as do some people who are not overweight) which may make difficult for the guy to have a compatible relationship.
I personally don't follow his train of thought but he is entitled to decide what he finds attractive/compatible.
Different strokes people!0 -

It means I don't think any less of someone who is overweight as a person. It's like how alot of women aren't attracted to men who are shorted than them. I almost didn't reply here since I figured someone would find a way to twist what I said.0 -

Fit people are all meanies who treat their SOs poorly?0 -
No

Hummmm. You sound familiar. Could it be?0 -
Yes, of course, especially since how hypocritical would that be if I wouldn't since I've been overweight for almost my entire life? I know the sadness of realizing someone I like is not giving me a chance just because I'm overweight, even though (imho) I'm a pretty awesome person.
My partner of 5 years is overweight but is still willing to go hiking with me when I want him to. He's smart, funny, loyal, and sweet, which are all qualities I care much more about than looks. Those qualities make him attractive to me. He treats me better than anyone I have ever met.0 -

Same here.0 -
