    Yes. I was overweight once and I don't see why that can make you love anyone less.
    I would probably try to get them to get healthy if they're larger because of bad habits/laziness/poor eating - especially since if I'm with them, I won't want to get into bad habits again.

    I have been attracted to overweight men in the past, but they never gave me the time of day because I was overweight and they thought they deserved better. One guy even told a friend, (I never told him I liked him. My friend took it upon herself to ask.), that I was too big for him and if I lost the weight, I could call him! He was 250lb and I was barely 150lb! If I got hit on, it was always by a guy I would have thought was out of my league.
    But to answer your question, if I was attracted to someone overweight, than yeah, I would have given him a chance.

    I've said it a thousand times. The greatest lover I've ever known weighed at least 275. Her stamina was incredible and she was also one of the most flexible and athletic people I have ever known. Never judge a book by it's cover.

    Yes, I've dated a few heavy, and a number of skinny girls. Weight does not dictate a person. I married a girl who had a little extra, so what?

    Yet another thread where people are rarely 100% honest with their answers as not to offend everyone.

    Overweight is a very ambiguous term. Depending on the degree of "overweight" will most likely sway everyone's answer.

    I like thicker girls so by technical term I love overweight women.

    Especially if she has a big booty.

    If I'm being honest and someone really overweight asked me out I'd probably say no because I'm not physically attracted to them. That may sound shallow but then I don't know their personality at that stage so looks are all I've got to go on.

    No because fitness is a huge part of my life and its integral part of who I am as a person so we would not have that much in common. I think its best not to be with someone who has opposite goals health wise to you as your always going to be fighting an uphill battle with them.

    I have dated overweight guys and I ended up being overweight as a result as their habits / lifestyle rubbed off on me and I began to think oh we ll they don't care why should I bother trying any more so when pizza was brought home practically every night it was eaten and I ended up feeling horrible and we barely did anything as we were too tired all the time. I stopped going to the beach which is my favourite thing as I felt too fat.

    That is why id only date someone who is fit and healthy so they can run on the beach with me , come to the gym with me eat healthy with me encourage me to be the best me I can be outside and in and visa versa. I would rather be with someone that had my goals and values regarding health in common.

    This

    That's why I wouldnt, I am trying to change to a healthy lifestyle and I dont have that much self control so being around someone that just loves to eat junk would make me do the same thing.

    Depends how overweight. A couple of lbs, of course. Several stone, nope.

    Honestly.... it would be hard. I know the direction I am trying to head in my life. I want to have a active, healthy lifestyle. So overweight... not a deal breaker. Lazy and unmotivated, eating junk all the time, with no desire to change. Probably not.

    I always felt like one fatty in the relationship was enough and that I had MORE than enough fat for both parties. I've always only dated thin/average/very slightly overweight men. My husband is 15 pounds overweight for his frame and he's working to lose it.

    Last time I dated someone for their looks I ended up with someone built like a basketball player who watched Wizards of Waverly Place and crap like that.

    I find that if I am looking for a real relationship my physical archetype preference is generally thrown out the window and I end up with a much better result in the end. My hubs is big like I am and is quite the awesome... in so many ways. mmmm

    I would date someone overweight because often they are diamonds in the rough. There aren't many unmarried men in my age bracket--someone who has been overlooked by other women because they are fat (but not to the extent of requiring the doors to be widened/significant mobility debility) is a much better companion than someone who is single because they are a jerk.

    OTOH I would never date a smoker. Partly because my asthma is triggered by smoke, but mostly because--eww!

    add: plus, as we all here know, "fat" is a temporary, fixable condition. As personal flaws go, it's pretty minor.

    add: now, some folk are saying they're worried that "fat habits" would wear off on them. Using my martial arts lingo, I think the key is to keep your center so that their habits evolve to something that is more healthy *for them* as a result of contact with you, rather than you adopting their unhealthy habits. . But it has to be what is right for their body--eg: low carb works well for me, but if I date a fat guy and low fat works for him, we each follow our own plan.

    Would you ride a scooter?

    Would you tell your friends?

    Roll out.

    A few pounds overweight, sure. Morbidly obese, no. Perhaps that makes me shallow but that's my preference. I've gotten told that I was too skinny by a few women and I'm okay with that.

    Not only would, but I have dated a few heftier girls. I don't care so much about weight as who they are, and that they aren't a...er...well you know. :laugh:

    Most people are caught up on body image so much that they forget to work on personality. If you are the hottest girl in the world, you get no where and nothing if you open your mouth and ruin it. Just sayin'...
