    I personally don't mind a chubby guy. I mean, there's health risks and stuff, so I'm not saying to be unhealthy, but like, Dan Heffernan from King of Queens? CUTEST MAN EVER.

    I would even take Kevin James when he was slimmed down.....He's a hotttttt chubster. I also like the guy who plays his tall black friend on that show, hes equally hot

    I avoid dating skinny people. I always feel they will judge my weight too much.

    I would have to say no!! I date a fitness instructor at the moment and have lost wweight since being with him! as a true plus size gal I think being with a big guy would only hinder my weight loss! harsh but true

    I wouldn't START dating someone. Not only is the ahem bedroom aspect a consideration, but I don't want to try and have to explain myself to 'The Man' why I don't want to be with him as he is sitting on the couch, gorging and watching movies all day. Sorry, but I am not reducing myself to that level.

    Now, if I was to start dating Mr Athletic and he gained weight...that might be different.

    I wonder what is 'plus size' to you? There are 'plus size models' (female) that wear size 10. That's not that big.

    In fact, that's really quite small. 'Plus size' is subjective - fashion-industry 'plus size' is a very strange thing(and varies depending on which country you're in) and can, as this poster says, be as small as a womens' size 10 or 12 plus! Like many others here, I wouldn't be thinking about actual clothing sizes, but about the shape someone was in - it's entirely possible to be 'plus size' and in good shape, healthy and active. If someone's weight is impeding activity, I'm probably not going to choose that lifestyle. If they carry a bit of extra weight and/or are built on larger lines, not a problem.

    I wouldn't have before but my bf now is a big guy! He's 6'3" with 23inch bicep, shoulders that fill a doorway and giant farmer hands!!!
    When we first met I was attracted to him but I was slightly put off by his size. He wasn't fit or healthy but neither was I. We've lost weight together and are determined to get healthy as a couple. We push and support each other and I'm really proud of him!!

    I met my boyfriend 20+ years ago in college. He was on the basketball team and skinny as a rail. I was chubby. He was my best friend, but nothing more back then. After 15 years apart, we are now dating. I am thin now and he probably needs to lose 40-50 pounds. I still see him through my 20 year old eyes and think he is sexy as ever. I do admit I get on to him about exercising because he has high blood pressure.

    Yep! I have no problem dating plus sized. My only condition is that they're not horribly obese.

    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.

    Yes but within reason, I think I would be more concerned about the state of his health. Not attracted to skinny guys either but hey it's just a preference. In my eyes everyone is beautiful and everyone will be attractive to someone out there. It's the inside that matters the most. What that person is like on the inside. If he's an Ahole I won't even give him the time of day but I'm engaged now anyway and this is how it was for me when I was single.

    I've dated heavier guys and I've dated thinner guys (my current boyfriend and I weigh just about the same - but I was almost 40lbs heavier than him when we first met). There's more to it than physical appearance (I've met some pretty awesome looking guys were JERKS and I've met some average guys who were absolutely awesome) and while I don't see myself with someone severely overweight, being heavier doesn't mean I wouldn't give him a chance. :)
