You never look at an overweight or obese girl and say "damn she's hot. do you?? I've even caught my husband saying how thin women are hot, but never any that are overweight or obese.

    Overweight - Sure, I've encountered a number of them that I thought were attractive.

    Obese - Not so much

    I feel your question is the same among women... I don't see to many women calling overweight or obese men attractive.

    I for one, am only attracted to slimmer women. It's just how I am.. Ill be friends with anyone but can only see myself with a slim woman.

    That's why I am working on my weight to make it realistically possible. :P

    There was that one picture floating around on the forums - can't find it now. Generally, I would say that above 35% body fat I am probably not going to physically attracted.

    What did you have in mind when you posed the question?

    my husband is 6 ft 4 and 385. I much prefer heavier men. Its MUCH more of a problem with men. Especially when women hear men making fun of them for being fat. trust me i get it alot.

    ive always found that people become more attractive once you get to know them and know their personality

    I don't make fun of anyone with weight problems because I hate when people say things about me. It kills my confidence that I'm 23 balding and slightly overweight.. at least I can control my weight to feel confident. Bleah.

    so if you got to know a say 250 lb women, and you liked her personality, and she was an awesome woman, she'd be attractive to you?

    Actually, I like "husky" men. Big, meaty, burly men. My husband is working on loosing 25 or so pounds. While I support him 150%, I'd be FINE if he was fine with his current weight. I think that chubby guys are hot.

    I don't see why some men wouldn't be attracted to heavy women? Not that I'm a smut bunny but there's a whole fetish market and everything for large women, right?

    For instance my husband thinks elizabeth hurley and elisa dushku are hot. But not ever once have i ever seen him say the same thing about an overweight woman. ever. ive never even heard a man period say an overweight woman is hot.

    it's kinda odd hearig overweight guys criticize overweight women but they do.
    Guys treat me different when I'm thin. I don't like it much. I'm still the same person but in my fat periods men aren't interested. In my thin periods, very much so. Not sure I understand why.

    you're asking the wrong question... we can see a pretty face and think that's attractive (i.e. that she's pretty) even if we're not physically attracted to her body because of her size.

    for example, this woman is very pretty, but she's nearly too big to be voluptuous anymore. don't get me wrong, lots of guys would find her body physically appealing at this weight, but if you add another 50 pounds, that number would go down quite a bit. she'd still be very pretty however.

    of course, if she's smart, funny, and alot of fun to be around, it really would add quite alot to her appeal even with another 50 lbs.

    I weigh 318 pounds and have weighed much more and I have never had a problem attracting nice looking, average sized men, although the available pool of quality men interested in someone my size seems to be the minority. It's all about confidence.
