would you date someone plus size ?

TheAncientMariner

Yeap, sure would.

The issue though, is that there are generally a lot of health complications that come with that. I would want to get healthy together to prevent that if they weren't present at the beginning of the relationship.

As a guy considered too fat/ugly for most of my life to date anyone (never been over 290lbs) I know what it feels like to not be wanted. I wouldn't wish that on anyone and would give a gal at least a shot. Regardless of what you look like, we cannot be unequally yoked intellectually though. That's where I draw the line, lol!

A woman from size 12 to size 16 at is acceptable to me. Besides, I'm a breast man and all big girls are gifted up top

XmanMike

Agreed!

Interestingly enough, I've always been with guys who were larger, and that made me feel more secure about myself since I was always a little on the "chubby" side. BUT my bf I have now is my same weight LOL. ( I am no longer "chubby", either...) He is a little shorter than most guys I've dated but he's lean and I've found that I'm absolutely crazy about his body So, I'm over the fact that we're around the same weight, since he freakin loves my bod too

But, honestly, it comes down to personality. I'd rather date a larger man with a good heart than a lean/in shape man who's an *kitten*.

Yes, the physical body does not maketh the character of the individual.

Well if I think they're hot, yes . I like all types of guys, just depends on the 'something' that has me attracted to them that makes you like the whole person regardless of size or whatever. Although, I do tend to notice more toned guys first, not to say I wouldn't date a bigger dude

DaughterOfTheMostHighKing

there are some people who are plus sized because of muscle mass.... not just because of excess fat. if he was charming and not insecure, maybe... I'd really have to be convinced that he's a good guy tho'. but that goes with any man...

Meadows18

Of course I would. I only date people I'm attracted to, but there's a hell of a lot more to attraction than body size.

I agree 100%. It's all personality that I'm attracted too.

I'm not sure what constitutes plus size...do you mean a few extra pounds or do you mean obese? Not meaning to offend, but no. I'm more into healthy, fit types. Honestly, most of the plus size guys I know (of course there are some exceptions) are more into drinking beer, eating hot wings and watching sports, rather than taking part in them. Plus size guys can be great, but they are just not for me. I know a lot of guys wouldn't be into my body type either, and that's just fine with me! :flowerforyou:

Kara52217

NOPE.
I am not putting all this effort into losing to date someone who is heavy so I can backslide into my old ways.

HellsKells

Sure, as long as they weren't lazy. Since I'm plus size myself and working on not being that way, I would wanna date someone that could and would be active with me.

GasMasterFlash

No. Too sweaty.

seamonkey789

One of my ex's outweighed me by almost 275 lbs. It wasn't his weight that ended the relationship, he just happened to be crazier than me.

thepanttherlady

I prefer my guys around the 'L' end of the spectrum.

Long? :bigsmile:

drkuhl2017

It really does depend on the person, but now that fitness is more important to me it probably would have to be for him too. Personality is huge for me, but obviously there needs to be physical attraction.

jenilla1

Thank you!! Half the people responding to this question are saying no, but you are on a website for weight loss... doesn't make sense.

Weight loss is only one use for this site. It's My Fitness Pal. I personally use it for maintenance - to track my eating habits and exercise. It helps me control the amount of sugar and sodium I'm getting and allows me to keep track of my fitness goals. :flowerforyou:

Sarahgrace0228

I currently engaged to one! I am plus sized myself.

AKosky585

I have before, in high school into college...he was a 3XL....started out as such a sweet guy, but got involved in drugs, drinking and got abusive as a result. I ended things due to that, not his size.

I am happily married now, but I would date somebody plus sized again if I were single. If I am mildly attracted to somebody, it is all about personality after that, although they couldn't be so out of shape that taking more than 10 steps winds them.

dollipop

I guess it depends on what you classify as "plus sized"? Overweight - yes, obese/morbidly obese - no.
If that makes me shallow, so be it.

greenranger67

I would not only date someone who is plus sized, but I married someone who is plus size. She is a fabulous lady and would not trade her for the world.

Sarah_Wins

I prefer my guys around the 'L' end of the spectrum.

Long? :bigsmile:

LOL!

As a former plus size girl, I so appreciate the open-minded folks in this thread. :flowerforyou:

Those who aren't, well... you're missing out on some of the best folks on Earth. The obese or unattractive are forced to cultivate a personality, and are often the sweetest and funniest people you could ever meet. It truly is your loss. :ohwell:

shelbiejo

If I was attracted to them, yes. If you aren't attracted to the person then you shouldn't be with them. Physical attraction is a HUGE thing. You can't be in love with someone you are repulsed by.

Hezzietiger1

I am plus size and attractive guys date me LOL

And, personally I kinda prefer stocky guys.

scs143

Yes, the physical body does not maketh the character of the individual.

This.

If I weren't married, and were to choose a partner a gain, I'd say maybe, or to a degree.

Like others have said, I don't want them to be so bad off that they can't breathe or do some fairly active stuff with ease. It also would be nice to have someon NOT drag me back into fatness (if he brings pizza home all the time then I'd be screwed).

But I do like some "cuddly". I like big arms to wrap around me. I like taller. I like a nice smile. I like a man who knows how to act like a gentleman and be charming like you are the only one in the world. Sometimes its all in the face, the eyes. I am attracted to different people for different reasons. So he might not have a huge score on the body type, but maybe his charm, sexy voice, gentlemanly nature, and nice face will make up for it.

shaynak112

My ex was bigger and I dated him.
My bf is super skinny though.
But if my bf were bigger, I'd still love him.

I do like it when a guy has a "bit" of weight on him to be cuddly and stuff. My bf likes that about me but then again, I'm not plus sized either .

victoria4321

Nope. Unless its plus size because their muscles don't fit in their shirts.

stevepierson

Yes. I've met some very beautiful plus sized women. Beautiful on the outside and the inside.

Altarian

Plus size woman were the only females that would acknowledge me as a person because i'm very shy person. to this day i've still not figured what my ex-wife and my current wife/soulmate see's in me.
