question for guys- more so for guys who are FIT.

Girls, if you like girls you can answer also.

Would you date a fat girl?
What is your weight limit. Does she have to be as fit as you?
What if she's pretty in the face? Is body more important - I'd think so.

Okay, genuine answer:

The odds of an overweight woman that doesn't have an objectively attractive face being in a relationship with a fit guy are roughly equal to the odds of a short man that isn't particularly well-built being in a relationship with a gorgeous woman. It can happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Probably easier for the woman to be FWBs, though, if that's what your looking for.

You wouldn't happen to be an archaeologist, would you?

But who was paleontologist? Worst misc meme ever.

You're right, I should've asked if she was a beaver instead. =(

Why, do you know of any job openings?

Only if you like examining big bones.

Plenty of slender / thin men date and even marry overweight / obese women. I think the bigger issue is lifestyle. If a man is not just slender, but very fitness oriented, a woman who is overweight / obese MAY not relate or want any part of a fitness oriented lifestyle. This is likely to cause problems down the line, if not right off the bat, in a relationship. Two examples from my experience that support this theory:

1. My friend who I've known for nearly 10 years now, says he only dates women who weigh 130lbs or less - and from what I've seen, he sticks to this rule unflinchingly. He is very active and fit, and really seeks the same qualities in his mates.

2. I was walking across Hoover Dam with my husband one summer, and we had a nice time watching all the other people going along their own ways. Some were just strolling, some riding bikes, some fishing, some taking pictures. There was one couple we kept passing, though, and they made me think. The girl, who looked very slightly overweight, was trying to jog with her boyfriend - he was running a steady, somewhat fast pace, while she continuously lagged behind, groaning, wheezing, and complaining about it. She kept stopping to catch her breath while he just ran ahead, and even lapped her a couple of times.

My conclusions are obviously based on my own observations, so it's not like I can tell the future from one single moment in time for that couple. But, I did note the look of annoyance in the boyfriend's face, as well as his ignoring the girlfriend whenever she asked him to wait up. These things led me to believe they would probably not last very long together, unless of course the girlfriend changed, which is entirely possible.

Given the nature of human beings, however, I have my doubts that most couples with similar circumstances would make it together happily. People don't often change so drastically, and if they do, it's rarely permanent.

I rarely examine bones ever, big or small.

Personally, I have always been fit. I like women who take care of themselves, they don't have to be toned, but fit.
