    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.

    What she said :)

    Personality comes first for me. Off course you have to be attracted to the other person but weight is not a factor for me.

    I would and I have.....

    Dating someone who is in great shape is neat.

    For me the key is can we have a good conversation. Can we communicate on multiple levels? Discuss likes and dislikes, concerns, disappointments, etc.

    If you can communicate, what do you have??

    When I consider dating someone, I ask a very simple question: Fast forward 40 - 50 years, do I still find this person interesting?

    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.

    Oh jesus lord...

    We have a cougar on our hands...

    Yes I would and I did before I got married. Most girls look better with some meat on their bones rather than a toothpick.

    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.

    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.
