I find ladies attractive and sexy in many sizes and shapes,there is no exact way to define what is or isn`t a plus size.
Every lady is their own person and I refuse to be pigeon holed into someone elses definition of what their appearance and desirability is.
Someone give this guy a medal!

yup. i have in the past, although my husband is 6'1" and weighs maybe 140 soaking wet.0

I must admit I always thought I wouldnt. But as I got older and I began to put on alot of weight that all changed. I graduated highschool in 02 at 160 lbs. My husband graduated the same year at about 140 soaking wet. Now he is 230 and I still love him to death. No matter how much he weighs. But I agree with those of you that are saying when it gets so bad he is unable to do daily things, somethings gotta give. He is active as he hunts and fishes daily. I weight about 20 lbs more than my husband right now. I began my fitness journey a month ago and he has so desire to. Im hoping I will have much success and he will see the changes in me and jump on board.0

Most of my relationships have been over the internet (Thank you, gaming habits.) That said, I got to know a person for who they were before I saw what they looked like, so I have an imprinted rule on my mind that I shouldn't rule out people because of what they look like.
I'm almost not very good to look at-- so I can't be picky. (lol) Being pluz-sized, having just gotten out of plus size-- I think the role is reversed for me right now.
I'm scared to death of how people are going to take it in public when they see me walking around with my barely 130lb boyfriend (he struggles to even keep THAT weight)... I worry his reputation will go down or he'll be heckled for being with a fatty, even though I've already lost 80+ and work super hard to get healthy.0 -
Yes.
I admit that I have my limits though.
I don't mind a little junk in the trunk... I do mind people who are so large they seem to have trouble moving and breathing. That scares me.
On the opposite end I also will not date people who are too skinny. I don't mind thin, I do mind bones.
Same for me. I kind of prefer the guys that are bigger than normal, even if that "bigness" comes from extra-pounds.0 -
Personally, no. It's just not attractive to me.0
-
what is plus size? a little bit overweight would be ok to me..
depends on the girl and what she's like0 -
I know my friends don't believe me but I actually would. Yes it would depend on their personality, like if he could make me laugh, respect my family and friends, myself, him and his family too I wouldn't ever say no. Also being kind hearted and considerate of others and their feelings is a deal breaker, if he was 'hot' but selfish, I would walk the other way. I don't think this is alot to ask for, most people have it in them, but I know there are a few who couldn't care less about others.
I find I'm actually attracted to boys who are bigger anyways though. Weight doesn't make any difference to me is what I'm trying to say.0 -
Totally would. Just depends on what I find attractive about them (if anything). I have seen some plus size women who put waif thin women to shame in the attraction department. For instance... Mia Tyler... oh hell yes!
And for those who say no, hopefully people don't get all bent out of shape over it. We all have our own tastes. And that's ok. To each their own, and all that jazz.
It was a good reminder that everyone has their own taste and not to take it personally since i have always been plus size. I'm working towards being a regular size and until then, i'll have to enjoy being with myself and with any guy that likes me right now 0 -
Been there, done that, sucks that they won't do as much active stuff with me as I'd like but it would also suck if I injured myself and the person I was with took off because I was no longer active. As long as they're a good person, trying to take care of themselves, supportive, you're attracted to them and you love them, who cares?0
-
I wouldn't. I like slim muscular men. 0
-
OF COURSE0
-
Up to a point, although that is probably due more to my preferring proportion. Generally I prefer tall enough that I can wear heels & not be looming over him and enough heft that 1. we don't look like the # 10 when we're standing next to each other and 2. I can cuddle into him and feel at least a little bit small.
It's always subject to change though... I have a bit of a crush on one of my professors who is slightly younger, a little bit taller than me & is definitely on the thin side. I find i'm more attracted to his outgoing personality and the absolute passion he has for what he's teaching (although it helps that he's cute!). Who knows... maybe that just means i'm growing up....0 -
Ive never been a skinny minnie and neither has my husband. I think the extra squish makes him more comfortable to cuddle with My ex was a stick and the biggest JERK in the world. Ive found the fluffier guys are sweeter and more fun anyway 0
-
I went on a date with a plus size person but I didn't feel the attraction.0
-
Yep, especially if I had the chance to get to know him first. Can't turn a guy down just because he's plus size...so am I. I like a guy I don't feel like I'd break if I tackled him or sat on his lap :laugh: And I've known plenty of guys I didn't think were that good looking but once I got to know them they were HOT! A person is so much more than what's on the outside and I would hate to be judge based just on what the world could see at a glance.0
-
Depends on their personality and how they make me feel. If they were extremely obese then probably no. Extreme obese as in like 300+ pounds.0
-
honestly wouldnt make a difference to me if they were plus size or not.
i'm all about the personality.0 -
I couldn't date anyone bigger than me. I need a skinny, healthy person for motivation or I'll lose it in that 'comfortable' stage. I know I have no room to talk about being plus size.. but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I haven't been big my whole life, and I still have that skinny girl brain sometimes.0
-
Unless you are morbidly obese, I would consider it.
I've dated stick thin, a bit chubby, some gym rats...all ranges of "types"...
If you can't make me laugh or laugh with me and have common interests, then it wouldn't work regardless of your size.
I wouldn't say I go looking for heavier men, but if one was pursuing me and had the other qualities, there is a good chance I'd fall for them anyway.
Granted...this would all be true if I were single. lol0 -
yes becasue the likelihood of them cheating on you is vey slim
Is this a serious response?
Some people mentioned Doug Heffernan (Kevin James), and I agree with that despite my initial reaction to say "no" to OP. A good sense of humor is huge, though-- can make almost anyone more attractive.0 -
im attracted to bigger guys. so yes i would.0
-
No, I am attracted to skinny / wiry people.0
-
nop
I totally freak out when my SO gains 5 kg (10 lbs) over the summer
fortuanately he lose it every time before the winter...0 -
For sure. I fall in love with my ears, not my eyes. Current boyfriend is the opposite, super skinny, and I don't find his looks so much attractive as his personality.0
-
No I would not. They have to be a healthy weight.0
-
The whole, "I do not date big guys" is what is driving me right now to lose this weight.
I remember one instance when I walked up to a woman that I was attracted to and started talking to her. After about 30 seconds, she said and I will never forget.... "I do not date big guys and you just need to lower your standards." I responded with, "thank you, but I have lowered them, that is why I am talking to you." Made her mad and I just shook my head.
I never understood why when a man does not date a big gal it makes us a shallow prick, but when a woman does not date a big guy it makes them having standards.
Since when does having a nice body out weight a great personality. I understand that you have to be physically attracted to a person before you will notice them in any manner of being date-able, but if you do not give someone a chance to get to know them you may lose out on a great person who may be the best person you will ever date, fall in love with or even marry.
**off the soap box now**
But, I just want to thank everyone who has ever said..."I do not date big guys" because of you, I have lost 86 lbs and I am almost at the 100 lb mark with more coming off every day, so again, thank you.
*signed
A big guy...(for now)0 -
Yeah, I would... why not? As long as they have the qualities I am looking for then who the hell cares. Besides they could possibly turn out to be a workout buddy and a great motivator.0
-
Thank you!! Half the people responding to this question are saying no, but you are on a website for weight loss... doesn't make sense.0
