    Weight doesn't matter to me in many regards. I want to lose weight and be healthier but to be honest, I would date a man heavier than me, or lighter, or the same.

    Would I worry about his health? Yes. But does the fat change the fact that the guy makes me laugh, etc? Nope!

    I've dated a few men who were quite large. My last bf of 2 years was probably 300 lbs. I never cared one way or the other except as a health concern as long as they were able to keep up with me. But now I've met my soulmate and he just happens to be very fit and slim and has inspired me to get fit as well. I can barely keep up with him. We inspire each other. It's a very welcome change to be that couple who can go for a run or hike together.

    I admit, I would not date someone who does not take care of him/herself and is morbidly obese. I'm very short and would constantly worry that I would not be able to help that person get up because they are so heavy. Though if that person is a little overweight and is trying hard to build and maintain a healthy lifestyle I would date.. and if it happens that we have the same interests that would be a plus!

    This was my immediate thought: If I didn't date while overweight, I wouldn't have dated at all.

    Absolutley would. :)

    If compatibility doesn't take precedent, then you shouldn't be in the dating game to begin with.

    My husband and I are both overweight. (We were much thinner when we met years ago!) LOL

    And, my husband is still completely gorgeous - even with the extra weight.

    Absolutely....and I have. I'm overweight so I can't judge. I agree it's all about the person.

    I am attracted to tall men who are very thin with no muscle definition. I have never dated anyone overweight.

    I would date an overweight-to-a-point man if I saw the potential in him to be physically perfect with all the fat gone. He would have to be young enough to not end up with any loose skin, and not overweight enough to end up with loose skin.

    I am only attracted to young men anyway; I would NOT date anyone anywhere near as old as me, no matter how thin and tall he was.

    Depends on the person.

    I could find myself attracted to someone who is big, like BIG, but when it comes down to physical "activities" well, it would be a tough call.

    So, I'd say maybe.

    I mean, if we're talking BIG. Regular overweight.....yeah, of course.

    Almost?

    A few thin ones have slipped in here and there, but for the most part...I have a type.

    Ahhhhhh.....I see. I thought you dated people (almost exclusively)...just in case you got a better offer.

    My bad, yo!

    A few pounds overweight, sure. Morbidly obese, no. Perhaps that makes me shallow but that's my preference. I've gotten told that I was too skinny by a few women and I'm okay with that.

    I occasionally date someone who was rail thin 15 years ago but has now gotten a bit of a belly. It doesn't bother me much, but morbidly obese.. no, I'm just not attracted to it.

    Yes. I've got a weakness for some powerlifters at my gym. Their BMI probably puts them in the "overweight" category.
