    No.... I lead a active lifestyle and we probably wouldn't have anything in common

    Just because someone is overweight doesn't mean they don't live an active lifestyle.

    What a ridiculous statement and assumption to make.
    To be fair he was just giving his opinion as is everybody else, he did also mention the word probably.

    Yes overweight people can lead very active lives (I know plenty) but you can not deny that there is some truth in the statement, where some overweight individuals live very inactive lifestyles (as do some people who are not overweight) which may make difficult for the guy to have a compatible relationship.

    I personally don't follow his train of thought but he is entitled to decide what he finds attractive/compatible.

    Different strokes people!

    I just find it really unattractive. It's not a judgement thing.

    You do realise those statements are totally incompatible, right? Finding overweight people unattractive couldn't be more of a judgement thing. I mean what else could it possibly be?

    Fat =/= inactive. I know lots of overweight or fat people who are very active. Certainly more active than many of the skinny people I know.

    To answer the OP, yes I have and yes I would.
    Yep, even married one.

    Me too!


    It means I don't think any less of someone who is overweight as a person. It's like how alot of women aren't attracted to men who are shorted than them. I almost didn't reply here since I figured someone would find a way to twist what I said.

    I'd much rather date someone that makes me laugh and treats me with respect who has a some extra pounds on him than someone who is super fit but treats me poorly.

    Yes, of course, especially since how hypocritical would that be if I wouldn't since I've been overweight for almost my entire life? I know the sadness of realizing someone I like is not giving me a chance just because I'm overweight, even though (imho) I'm a pretty awesome person.

    My partner of 5 years is overweight but is still willing to go hiking with me when I want him to. He's smart, funny, loyal, and sweet, which are all qualities I care much more about than looks. Those qualities make him attractive to me. He treats me better than anyone I have ever met.

    My SO is overweight and very sedentary. I love him and he love me.

    And some like white knighting before there is even trouble.

    It was bad logic. But meh
