    I am engage to a man that is overweight and I love him just the same. Size doesn't matter to me because he makes me happy, loves me, and treats me right. He is working on himself because he wants to. If he stayed the size he is now I would not care. It's the person that matters.

    Absolutely I would and I have. Personality goes a LONG way with me, and I'm not a petite woman so I tend to gravitate towards men who are taller and make me feel comfy just being me. Helps if he's got big warm hands, and a wicked sense of humor too. If this describes you, and you're available...well...oh never mind...LOL!! This is SOOOO not supposed to be a dating site type of response!!

    Aside from the fact I'm already married .. supposing I wasn't.
    I must admit unless the heavy person I was in this alter world,
    was dating was actively working on losing their weight .. no.
    If they were trying to become healthy/fit .. yes.
    Fit, healthy people I think do better when they are with like
    minded individuals .. just my opinion ..don't throw any tomatoes.


    Personality and other factors do measure in but healthy, vital
    .. is pretty important.

    In my personal experience chubby chasers are sadly few & far between.

    My partner & I got fat together so technically the answer is yes.

    I like my men a little thick, but not "scooter" big. Also, if I can't tell your gender when you take your clothes off. >> js

    No, but only because I am married and I am sure my husband wouldn't like the idea of me dating anyone. But I have dated bigger guys way back when I was single and thin. wow that was many moons ago.

    If you can't pick her up don't take her home.

    My husband can't pick me up? Should he not have taken me home? Think you should clarify. Some have disabilities that render them unable to pick up an adult..No, I am no where close to obese either. I am smaller than he is.

    I laughed at this! But I know I've been attracted to guys that could be considered overweight and others that are tall and slim. I guess it depends on the person I am talking to. But an obese person that's tough, I know I'm generalizing here but I just want someone who wants to get into better shape and take care of themselves and a lot of the obese men I know (not saying all obese men are this way) just don't give a *kitten*. And I don't want someone to discourage me from my goal.

    Yes I would date a teddy bear.. I don't want splinters, not to mention something about being in their arms makes me feel safe.. :)

    Yes, but not obese. I've been very attracted to bigger men before. It is always about personality and how they treat me. I don't fall in love with looks but who that person is.

    Yes. My ex-bf is pushing 300 at 5'8.

    You see women say this alot but always about an ex. The current guy they're with, almost never.

    Trust me, I would love to say him and I were still together.

    I actually wouldn't at this point in my life. I'm too old and too cranky and put too much time into my health, fitness regimen and physique to open up dating to someone I'm probably not attracted to.

    There's the honest answer.

    Speaking of honestly, I wouldn't either with the exception of one person (my ex). He is a big (like 6'4" pushing 400lbs big) snuggly tattooed Mexican with the most attractive mind ever.

    Oh, back the the honesty part...the sex isn't as fun and gets boring with someone who is very overweight (hence me trying to lose it). He couldn't get position crazy, or go a long time without being tired. Also, it's just not visually appealing. Fat is not attractive to me so it's very understandable how others, male and female alike, could feel the same.

    Then again, when you mentally click with someone like you're sharing a brain, it's hard to let that go due to poor humping. *sigh*

    Oh, and at this point in my life, it would be helpful to be with someone who had a fitness based (but still sick, witty, twisted, and perverted) mentality. When I'm with someone who shares the same bad habits, it's hard for me to stay on track. My fault really though.

    And more importantly, who's paying for it all?

    SO for those of you saying that you would not..... what about if they were skinny to start off with .... you married or got very serious (for years) and they put on a lot of weight? You going to dump or divorce cause of that?

    I hope not cause that makes you shallow....very shallow. So shallow I hope you gain all your weight back & never get anyone again.

    Seriously, straw man much? The word "dating" implies beginning a relationship. The question wasn't "would you leave your SO for being overweight"

    I suppose it depends on the amount of overweightness. What's overweight to me may not be to someone else. If it affects aspects of the relationship, it's an issue for me now.
