    Where was I....

    Oh yes, back to the original question

    Yes, I absolutely could. I do think I would need to have some amount of attraction (just being honest here) but that's entirely possible and I certainly wouldn't have some sort of weight standard.

    This just made my whole day.

    I might sound shallow but I won't.

    You are not shallow. You can't *kitten* someone you are not attracted to.

    If you don't get to know ppl and be friends with ppl bc of their appearance that makes you shallow ;)

    OP,

    cliche but true...beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My highest weight was 378 pounds, and I had a man who was madly, truly, and deeply in love with me. He was average size and loved every ounce of me. Your weight will only hold you back if you let it. (I am assuming this is where your question stems from)

    I wouldn't but that shouldn't affect your self-esteem.

    Be sure not to use the fact that some men would accept your situation as a reason not to improve yourself. We all get caught up looking for excuses to avoid reality.

    This question is so subjective, it's impossible to answer. When you say pretty, what do you mean? Is she 5'2" or 6'1"? What is her general overall shape? Does she have skinny lips or thick lips? Does she have cankles, or is her weight generally well balanced?

    These are important things to consider.

    Speaking of my own experience, I have encountered men who dated me at 200+. One married me. We have divorced, due to the fact he is a *kitten*, but I digress. I am now engaged, but when I was single, I would not have looked down on some guy who wouldn't date me because of my weight. That's his right. Just as it was my right not to date a slim guy or a guy with long hair. You can't please all the people all the time, you just have to please the right person ;)

    That's an easy question. if there's a mutual attraction i could care less what she weighs and if she is planning to lose or not. i've dated thin tone women that were a train wreck and i'll take a woman with a good head on her shoulders any day!

    I don't think I've ever known the weight of any woman I've ever dated...

    I only know my wife's weight because we use the same scale...

    If I'm being honest, unless she's an athlete and over 6 feet tall, no.

    Sure, as long as we clicked well. I mean, I'm 264 myself, so I might not be the target of this question, but I would, no problem. Though I would advise her against losing all of her weight, because then she wouldn't exist anymore, and I would no longer be able to date her.

    I like the answers of the men who say they wouldn't, because anyone considering the question -- especially phrased as it is -- can see what the "right" answer is. It takes some courage to say what you really think.

    Having said that, many people find themselves dating (and marrying) people they didn't think were their type!

    I don't want anyone who wants me to be a certain weight or look a certain way. Been there, done that, and left his sorry *kitten*.

    Newsflash: looks fade. Yes, physical attraction is important, but some people act as if you have to be a certain height, have certain color eyes, and weigh only x amount of pounds and not a pound more. No thanks.

    I'd rather the guy who squinches his face up when I tell him I'm trying to lose weight and asks me why. He's supportive, but he thinks I look fine how I am. That's the guy I want.
